Specific Zoning Request
Sub. No.
Map No. Chief Executive’s Response & Recommendation
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. This site is 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 and the Metropolitan greenbelt. These lands are located within the south environs of the City where the road network suffers from heavy peak hour congestion which overspills onto the N40, a National Primary Route which provides strategic connectivity between the N22, N71, N27 and N28. These lands were previously identified as Strategic Land Reserve (SLR) 6. There are major water services infrastructural requirements as well major local road and junction improvements required to serve these lands. These lands are not well placed to deliver housing in the short / medium term. The proposed ZO 2 New Residential Neighbourhoods zoning on these lands is not consistent with the Compact Liveable Growth strategy set out in the Draft Plan. The zoning of this site at this time could promote lower-density development with associated negative impacts on climate change, green and blue infrastructure management, the need for new physical and social infrastructure, and the successful delivery of a compact, vibrant city of neighbourhoods. Recommendation: No change.
Proposed rezoning of land at Garranedarragh, Bishopstown from “ZO 21 City Hinterland” to “ZO 2 New Residential Neighbourhoods”.
