Recommendation: Correct typographical errors with respect to “ZO 6 Sustainable Residential Neighbourhoods City Centre ” (page 533 of Draft Plan). It is considered that the land use zoning objectives in the Draft Plan are sufficient to accommodate An Post’s requests. Under planning law a post office comes within the definition of a ‘shop’. Several land use zoning objecti ves facilitate shops, sometimes under the term ‘local services’. All of the residential and urban centre zonings, which collectively cover a large portion of the city, facilitate local services in principle, and a post office would be considered to be a local service. Similarly, dependent on scale an impacts, a postal distribution facility could be accommodated within a range of proposed land use zoning objectives. Recommendation: No change.
Development plan should provide flexibility under the land use zonings to allow for An Post’s facilities and operational requirements. Development plan should include provisions for both An Post Retail (retail) and An Post Mails & Parcels (distribution / logistics) as ‘Permissible in Principle’ or ‘Open for Consideration’ land uses across all zoning objectives. Development plan should include a specific land use classification for postal facilities in the new City Development Plan as: “Postal Facilities: A building which facilitates mail services that can include the processing, sortation and distribution of mail. (Note: This use can be assessed on a case by case basis appropriate to site context and all other relevant policies, objectives and standards set out in this Plan.)” .
