Chief Executive’s Response & Recommendation
3. Site 4A to provide logistics uses. 4. Site 4b to provide for light industrial uses.
(xii) Re move “Strategic Employment Site” designation from Strategic Employment No. 5 (South Link Road) ( and rezone to “ZO 4 Long Term Strategic Regeneration” – see below). (xiii) Include additional text to paragraph 7.17 (b) follows: Employment Land Requirement The retail jobs target of 7,130 is addressed through the retail strategy, primarily on lands already zoned for retail-related uses. The quantum of employment land to accommodate the office and manufacturing/light industry jobs projection is assessed within the SELS using international good practice whilst also taking account of the need to plan for replacement employment lands to accommodate approximately 4,000 jobs that are likely to be displaced from regeneration areas including City Docks, Tivoli and areas under regeneration influence such as Tramore Road. The decanting of existing uses to new greenfield sites is critical to realise National and Regional Policy Objectives in the delivery of ambitious large-scale regeneration projects for the provision of new employment, housing and supporting infrastructure in Cork Docklands and other strategic areas, and realising the ambitious growth targets for the City as a regional driver of future development. The SELS quantifies a need to identify 228ha of employment lands to accommodate the office/manufacturing/light industry needs of the City over the period to 2028. (xiv) Rename Chapter 10, section 18 and include additional text to paragraph 10.336 as follows: 18. Tramore Road / Kinsale Road Airport City Gateway
