The northern portion of these lands are zoned “ZO 2 New Residential Neighbourhoods”. The vast majority of this site is zoned “ZO 21 City Hinterland” and located in an area identified as “Prominent and Strategic Metropolitan Greenbelt” in Figure 6.5 of the Plan. This is an elevated, greenfield site defining the urban / rural interface of the southern environs of the City. This is a significant site, and a significant amount of land has already been identified for future development at this location. The Core Strategy sets out how much land is currently designated as Tier 3 and it is considered that there is currently no justification to change the zoning of this site to ZO 3 Tier 3 (or its successor designation). Recommendation: No change. It is not considered that there is sufficient justification for a new neighbourhood and local centre in this location. This site is remote from an immediate residential hinterland and therefore neighbourhood and local centre development on this site will be largely car borne. The proposed zoning objective of “ZO 1 Sustainable Residential Neighbourhoods” is flexible and facilitates a range of local services uses. Convenience retail uses should be directed to appropriately located and zoned centres. Recommendation: No change.
Proposed rezoning of land at Carrigrohane Road from “ZO 1 Sustainable Residential Neighbourhoods” to “ZO 9 Neighbourhood and Local Centres”.
