Resolution number DT/2017/228
MOVED
by Chairperson G Gillon, seconded by Member J O'Connor:
That the Devonport-Takapuna
Local Board:
a) strongly supports the community’s views where:
i.
57 percent of all submitters do not
support the change of use of 40 Anzac Street from a single-level asphalt car
park to an area of mixed development; and
ii.
30 percent of all submitters either
support retaining the carpark, or want more carparking on 40 Anzac Street.
b)
recommends that there be no change of
use to 40 Anzac Street and the site continue to be used as a carpark.
c)
notes that the Hearings Panel has
endorsed the change of use of 40 Anzac Street, and subsequently recommends
that if the Planning Committee recommends a change in use, that the sale and
purchase agreement include the following provisions:
i.
the mixed development be constructed on
the perimeter of the existing site; as this will enable the development of
quality open space and / or a civic plaza that also links Potter’s Park
to Hurstmere Green;
ii.
that the quality public open space and
/ or civic plaza is large enough to retain the Takapuna Sunday markets
(as noted by 44 percent of all submitters), and meets the plaza provisions as
outlined council’s Open Space Provision Policy;
iii.
the mixed development does not have any
detrimental impacts to Potter’s Park (i.e. shadowing); and no reduction
in the overall size of the park.
iv.
that there be no overall reduction in
quality open space at 40 Anzac Street; and
v.
an underground public carpark be
constructed, with a minimum of 400 carparks on the current site, and
preferably is managed by Auckland Transport.
d)
recommends that if there is a change of
use to 40 Anzac Street, that under no circumstances will there be a reduction
in the overall size of Potter’s Park.
e)
notes that Panuku advises that any
change at Anzac Street should not take place for two years.
f)
recommends that, following the Planning
Committee’s decision on this issue, that if there is a decision for
change of use, that further public consultation be undertaken to
ensure the local views and preferences are reflected before any change of use
to 40 Anzac Street, and before the site is sold within that two year period.
g)
recommends that no changes in use at 40
Anzac Street be undertaken until the development of the Gasometre carpark is
completed.
h)
recommends the Finance and Performance
Committee endorse the proposal to reinvest proceeds of any property sales
back to the same Unlock location, with the purpose to fund capital projects and initiatives articulated in not only the
council-approved High Level Project Plans, but also the relevant local board
plan, or other key planning documents (e.g. a local board centre plan).
i)
requests
from Auckland Transport the report which outlines the updated carparking
projections and statistics, as outlined at the 16 October Hearings Panel
deliberations.
j)
requests
from staff the Hearings Panel full recommendations.
k)
delegates
authority to Chair Gillon and Deputy Chair Wood to finalise the local
board’s feedback, following the release of the Hearings Panel report on
the proposed change of use at 40 Anzac Street.
