Resolution number PKTPP/2013/308
MOVED
by Deputy Chairperson HAJ Doig, seconded by Member MP Wood:
That the Puketapapa Local
Board:
a)
thank officers for their work on the Three Kings Precinct Planning
exercise to date.
b)
thank members of the public who prepared submissions about the
Precinct Plan, and who attended the public meeting on 4 December to give
their views on the direction of the plan. The Board notes that the directions
provided in (c) (d) are in response to public comment provided at that
meeting.
c)
Provide officers with the following key directions for the next phase
of the Three Kings Precinct Plan process.
i)
Note that none of the 5 options under discussion met with strong
public support in or of themselves.
ii)
Agree to develop a further option(s) in line with the following aspects
identified as supported from the options presented, which are to be read in
conjunction with the key principles outlined in the current Precinct Plan
document:
·
Creation of a reasonable net increase in the total amount of
public open space, including playing fields and informal recreation space
·
Improving to Big King/Te Tatua-a-Riukiuta, and utilising
additional open space to partially restore the form and contours of the cone.
·
Providing integrated linkages between the residential
development, open space, and the town centre
·
Development of a clear position on the question of completed
fill level and final contours, and advice on the implications of the current
fill consent given the major impact this has on the ability to integrate the
residential development and town centre areas
·
That further work is conducted to ensure that the interface
between the quarry development and Mt Eden Rd retains clear sightlines to Big
King, and that an aesthetically pleasing and inviting road frontage with
appropriate access-ways is achieved.
·
Within the town centre area, attractive and appropriately
scaled mixed development including retail and residential, the development of
quality public spaces, and careful integration with the civic quarter and
open space areas.
·
Within the town centre area, the development of an open and
inviting environment, not a closed-in, big box centre. Effective and
efficient use of land, particularly in relation to parking.
·
Town centre development to be focused on the northern side of
Mt Albert Rd.
·
Good quality, safe pedestrian and cycle linkages connecting
through the residential, open space, and town centre areas.
·
Creation of a well-designed transport interchange that links
together the Mt Eden B Line, and the Mt Albert Rd east-west routes
·
Adequate provision of affordable and social housing in the
precinct area, including the quarry development.
·
Careful consideration of existing heritage sites, and sensitive
integration into the overall development.
·
A greater emphasis on more intense development at the southern
end of the quarry area.
d)
Asks officers for a more comprehensive analysis of, and response to,
key ideas developed in the submissions process so that we can ensure that
community feedback shapes the next phase of the Plan.
e)
Asks officers to liaise with key infrastructure providers (including
Ministry of Education) to develop a clear understanding of the required
infrastructure for development at the levels indicated in the Precinct Plan,
and publicly by Fletchers (the developer of the quarry site), and to report
back to the Board about these requirements.
f)
Asks officers for further information and advice about the appropriate
position for the Local Board to adopt in relation to its Unitary Plan input,
noting that options range from retention of the current Special Purpose Quarry
zoning through to a range of residential, business, and open space zones.
g)
Requires that officers review and amend the Project Plan for Stage 2
to allow for further community consultation in February 2014. The Board notes
its intention to develop a robust and participative process for directly
involving community in further developing the Plan at this point.
h)
Asks officers to request all developers (including Fletchers,
Antipodean, and Housing NZ) in the Precinct Planning Area to present their
development plans at the community consultation in February.
i)
In relation to (g) the Board notes its intention to work towards
finalization of the Precinct Plan prior to the close of submissions to the
Unitary Plan, but reserves the right to extend the process contingent on the
outcome of discussions and consultation in the January-February period. The
Board notes that its over-riding concern is to develop a robust, visionary,
and well-supported Plan, rather than to meet the submissions deadline.
j)
Notes its intention, in the short-term, to work with the local
community to develop a Community Reference group about Three Kings Planning
issues, that will enable local community interests to be more directly
involved in the development of the Precinct Plan and other local planning
issues.
