There is generally a presumption against zoning lands from sports ground use to other purposes. This site is sizeable and well maintained, however it appears that it hasn’t been used in some time and there are currently no goalposts or lines on the site. In view of this, and considering the location of the site and its potential to contribute to compact growth, and considering the proximity of the site to other green spaces and sports facilities at the Lee Fields, Mardyke, Fitzgerald Park, etc, it is considered that this proposal can be supported. Recommendation: Change zoning of “ZO 17 Sports Grounds and Facilities” lands to “ZO 01 Sustainable Residential Neighbourhoods” . This site is located in an area identified as “Prominent and Strategic Metropolitan Greenbelt” in Figure 6.5 of the Plan. This is a greenfield site defining the urban / rural interface in this part of the City. 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 Model Farm Road from “ZO 21 City Hinterland” to “ZO 2 New Residential Neighbourhoods”.
