Resolution
number RD/2022/176
MOVED by Deputy Chairperson L Johnston, seconded by
Member C Smith:
That
the Rodney Local Board:
a)
provide the
following feedback on Plan Change 78
i)
request that the
Special Character areas that apply to Helensville and Puhoi that are not
impacted by National Policy Statement- Urban Development or the application
of the Medium Density Residential Standards are retained and not changed
through these plan changes
ii)
request that the
qualifying matter of Transport be applied to Warkworth and the Medium Density
Residential Standards be completely removed as the issues with transportation
include:
A)
distance between
Warkworth and urban Auckland
B)
lack of a frequent
rapid public transport network between Warkworth and urban Auckland (current
bus service is only hourly)
C)
lack of employment
options within Warkworth resulting in residents having to travel into urban
centres of Auckland via private vehicle
D)
lack of safe
cycling connections between Warkworth and existing local employment hubs
E)
request
consideration to be given regarding the narrowness of roads which inhibits
current and future public transport provision, and the proposed medium
density housing does not require any on-site car parking, and results in
further narrowing of the roads, which can create unintended safety issues
iii) express concern that the character of
Warkworth Town will be adversely impacted through proposed intensification
and request that intensification is only provided for in the outer Warkworth
future urban areas, where there is new development and large-scale retail
proposed and all associated infrastructure can be designed and constructed
accordingly
iv) request that the Heritage Schedule as it
relates to Warkworth reflects the heritage sites that are recognised in the
Warkworth community
b)
request that the
qualifying matter of Transport be applied to Milldale and the Medium Density
Residential Standards be completely removed as the issues with transportation
include:
A)
many roads within
Milldale are too narrow for buses and any public service so there is a
reliance on private vehicles
B)
access to the
Milldale development is already congested and stage two of the development is
still under construction
C)
many roads within
Milldale do not have off-road separated cycle ways and roads are too narrow
to safely accommodate cyclists and vehicles within the road corridor
D)
the Silverdale
Interchange is gridlocked during the morning and afternoon peak periods and
Milldale development is already less than 25 per cent complete
E)
there is no direct
walking and cycling connections from Milldale to the Hibiscus Coast Station
in Silverdale and the only proposed walking and cycling connection is via the
Highgate Bridge which offers no direct safe cycling connections between
Milldale and the Hibiscus Coast Station
F)
the proposed rapid
transport network via Dairy Flat to Milldale is unfunded and construction
will be decades away
c)
provide the
following feedback on Plan Change 79
i)
support accessible
car parking requirements
ii)
support new
requirements for residential developments: for pedestrian access and safety;
heavy vehicle access for rubbish collection; loading spaces; future-proofing
electrical vehicle supply equipment
d)
provide the
following feedback on Plan Change 80
i)
support the
amendment to policies to include the concept of a well-functioning urban
environment
ii)
support the
amendment to policies to strengthen climate change resilience
iii) support the amendment to policies to introduce
qualifying matters
e) seek
clarification of the notable trees schedule 10 in Plan Change 83 for Rodney
Local Board area as the trees listed are in the Upper Harbour Local Board
area
e) appoint Deputy
Chairperson Member L Johnston and Member M Carmichael to speak to the local board views at a hearing in 2023
f) delegate authority to the chairperson of the
local board to make a replacement appointment in the event the local board
member appointed in resolution c) is unable to attend the hearing
