Resolution number MR/2014/26
MOVED by Chairperson
AM Dalton, seconded by Member GW Hawkins:
That the Manurewa Local Board:
a)
Receive the report
prepared by Auton & Associates on the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan
b)
Provides the
following input to the Auckland Council submission on the Proposed Auckland
Unitary Plan (PAUP):
i) The Manurewa Local Board in general
supports the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan:
·
For
the overall zoning pattern for Manurewa, including the distribution of Single
House, Mixed Housing Suburban, Mixed Housing Urban and THAB residential
zones.
i) This support is subject to:
1)
Reducing the
detailed performance controls for dwellings, especially single dwellings on a
site, particularly street frontage requirements.
2)
Introducing an averaging density provision for multiple
dwellings in the Mixed Housing Suburban and Urban zones to lessen the rate
and impact of such development in existing residential areas.
3) Ensuring that the consent and construction of Terrace
Housing and Apartments are preceded by comprehensive area plans, integrated
with utility and service upgrades as necessary.
4) Greater flexibility in the Mixed Housing Suburban and
Urban zones for the establishment of local shopping centres, as per the
Manukau Plan provisions.
5) Providing a more permissive pathway for Retirement
Village activities in residential zones.
6) Permitting farming, horticulture and greenhouses as
Permitted Activities in residential zones as per the activity status in the
School zone.
7) Either increasing the Gross Floor Area provisions for
Care and Residential Centres as Permitted Activities, or utilising
people numbers to manage the activity status (see Manukau Plan)
8) Clarification as to the status of accessory buildings in
residential zones.
9) A review of overlays in order to reduce the complexity
of material.
10) Either the inclusion of a noise mitigation fund
into the Unitary Plan, similar to the provisions for dwellings under the
International Airport flight path for affected land owners abutting motorway
and rail lines, OR removal of the overlay provision until a far greater
public understanding of the noise attenuation requirements apply.
11) The inclusion of public view shaft provisions for
Matukutureia.
12) The quality urban design manual which is quite
prescriptive.
Oversights
13) There are several
areas which the local board wish to have considered as they have not
previously been addressed with the Manurewa Local Board members. These
topics have therefore been classified as oversight in respect of this
contribution to Auckland Councils submission on the PAUP.
·
Camping
grounds being included as an Activity in the Mixed Housing Suburban zone as a
Discretionary use.
·
Including
a non-clustering rule for Residential Centres, similar to that provided in
the Manukau Plan, to avoid adverse environmental impacts on communities.
·
The
removal of the Quarry Transport Route overlay from Alfriston and Stratford
Roads, being an unreasonable and unnecessary impact on properties abutting
these roads.
In respect of the final point this overlay applies to the route
from two quarries operated by private companies. The effect of this overlay
is similar to high volume roads and places restrictions on the adjoining
properties and not on the road
ii)
Specific points
1) Error with pre-1944 Heritage sites as 20 and 20A Alfriston Road
it is understood where not built until 1947 or after.
2) Error with the
classification of the Counties Manukau Pacific Trust site which is
discretionary for community and education facilities, visitor accommodation ,
offices and retail, food and beverage and licensed premises that are greater
than 200 square metres. This should be uplifted to 2,000 square metres.
c) Seeks confirmation that the Manurewa Local Board will be
provided with opportunities to present to Hearing Panels or similar on the
Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan.
d) Delegates to the Chair and Deputy Chair any further
clarifications required on the Manurewa Local Boards input to the proposed
Auckland Unitary Plan.
e)
Recommends to the
Auckland Development Committee that it consider a change to the area plan programme
for the Manurewa and Papakura Local Board areas that includes a proposal for
a spatial development framework for the Great South Road corridor and town
centres (both existing and emerging) as outlined in attachment 20A to the 13
February 2014 Manurewa Local Board minutes.
