|
Resolution number OR/2021/60 MOVED by Member T Churton, seconded by Chairman S Milne: That the Ōrākei Local Board: a) taking into consideration the following points raised in the Notice of Motion agree with the need to delegate some notification decision-making responsibility to local boards: i) A recent High Court challenge by neighbours to a non-notification decision regarding 44 Ventnor Road, Remuera by Auckland Council planners contrary to Ōrākei Local Board feedback. ii) High intensity development proposals that meet the bulk and location controls but pay no regard to the context of the site in terms of building intensity and recognition of neighbourhood character and residential amenity which are recurringly being rubber stamped non-notified when there are good reasons why they should not. iii) If this pattern of enabling non-notified proposals that are full of infringements keeps going, the long-term detrimental effects on the established suburbs is likely to be a cumulative landscape of non-complying or infringing developments and do not meet the purposes of the Unitary Plan at all. b) authorise Member Troy Churton to advocate to the Planning Committee to seek a review and change to the following delegated decision-making for notification decisions on some residential resource consent applications: i) decision-making to notify or not in very specific residential resource consent proposals including: A) any proposal for an integrated residential development(IRD) in a Single House Zone (SHZ), Mixed Housing Suburban Zone ( MHSZ) or Mixed Housing Uran Zone(MHUZ).

B) does not provide for any off-street parking or proposes off-street parking for less than 50 per cent of the proposed number of units. c) request that a copy of the Board’s resolutions and Notice of Motion regarding the need to delegate some notification decision-making responsibility to local boards be forwarded to all local boards for their information. |
