Map No. Chief Executive’s Response & Recommendation
Airport Development Safeguard and Framework Area and the built- up edge of the City. However, taking into account the nature of the adjoining residential neighbourhoods, the proposed “ZO 2 New Residential Neighbourhoods” zoning on adjoining lands to the northwest, the availability of public transport in the area, and the fact that Lehenaghmore Park with its pitches and facilities will still act as a buffer, it is considered that there is some merit in zoning these lands for residential development. This site is a natural extension of the built-up footprint of the City, and Lehenaghmore Park would form the new urban / rural interface. It is however recommended to only consider rezoning that portion of the site currently proposed as “ZO 16 Public Open Space” . This would form a more coherent site and urban / rural boundary. This portion of the site is c 5.5 ha and, using the Compact Liveable Growth site yield criteria set out in paragraph 2.52 of the Draft Plan, would potentially yield around 115 dwellings, on the assumption of a Tier 2 designation considering the servicing status of these lands. It is not proposed to change the zoning of that part of the site currently proposed as “ZO 21 City Hinterland” – it is considered this should remain as city hinterland, to allow for possible expansion of the playing pitches or other amenity use. Recommendation: (i) Change the zoning of that portion of the site currently proposed as “ZO 16 Public Open Space” to “ZO 2 New Residential Neighbourhoods”. (ii) No change for that part of the site currently proposed as “ ZO 21 City Hinterland” .
