Proposed District Plan Chapters 23 Subdivision & 24 Financial - - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Proposed District Plan Chapter’s 23 Subdivision & 24 Financial Contributions

19th, 20th and 21st of November Paula Rolfe

Introduction

• Subdivision is essentially the process of

dividing a parcel of land or a building into one

• r more further parcels, or changing an

existing boundary location

• Subdivision by itself is not a use of land,

however it often sets the platform for future development and land use

Summary of Submissions

• Forty-nine submissions with 145 points of

submission

• Twenty further submissions with 71 further

submission points have been received in relation to principal submissions

Key Issues

• Objectives and Policies – Shall vs Should
• Subdivision Design Standards

– General Residential Zone – Comprehensive Residential Development – Amendments to 23.7.3, 23.7.4 and 23.7.5

• Activity Status – Controlled vs Restricted

Discretionary

Objectives & Policies Shall versus Should

• Minor amendments with retention of
• bjectives & policies
• An additional policy added for reverse

sensitivity mitigation from some transport corridors see 23.2.1a v

• Shall deleted in most instances & replaced

with minor wording amendments, but retained for 23.2.4a ii

• Aerial shot of Rototuna Cul De Sacs

Background – Design Standards

Achieving functional, safe and attractive environments

Higher density housing internally clustered, serviced by private driveways and with little amenity Public open spaces at edges of development, not relating well to lots and not a good shape to provide amenity values Many lots served by cul-de-sacs and/or private accessways – lack

• f “sense of street” and poor

permeability

Achieving functional, safe and attractive environments

With Design Guidance

• Open Spaces should provide a central

feature and focus for development

• Open spaces should adjoin main roads
• Medium density housing should be

located near areas of public open space

• Cul-de-sacs and rear lots should be

avoided where possible

Subdivision Design Standards General Residential

• Minimum lot sizes by design, or reduce from

400m2 to 375m2 or 350m2

• PDP achieves density requirements under the

PRPS, Future Proof & Strategic Framework

• Further work required by Council to identify

infrastructure capacity

Subdivision Design Standards Comprehensive Residential Development

• Reintroduce CRD’s within residential zone &

provide for within subdivision at 300m2

• It is not proposed to include these as:

– Higher residential densities encouraged – Housing typologies clearly set out – Detached dwellings, 2nd dwellings & duplexes RDA – Duplexes encourage more compact development – Landuse & infrastructure integrated

Housing Typologies

Duplexes Apartments

Subdivision Design Standards Rules 23.7.3, 23.7.4 & 23.7.5

• Private way widths, lengths, & lots being

served from various widths submitted on

• A review in relation to NZS4404 Land &

Infrastructure undertaken

• Design guides identify cul-de-sacs avoided

where possible, otherwise be straight & short, provide pedestrian & cycle links to streets &

• pen spaces & avoid private ways off them

Subdivision Design Standards Rules 23.7.3, 23.7.4 & 23.7.5 cont’d

• Boundary lengths, private ways, pedestrian

ways & cul-de-sacs have been requested to be retained, opposed or amended

• Boundary lengths support transport network
• 40m accepted for large lot residential

Restricted Discretionary v Controlled

• PDP has an urban design-led approach
• Restricted discretionary provides for flexibility

and always remains a restricted discretionary where standards are not met

• Recommendation for non-notification to

provide greater certainty

Other Issues

• Leasehold subdivision

Proposed District Plan Chapter 24 Financial Contributions

Introduction

• May be imposed to promote sustainable

management of natural & physical resources

• Required to recoup proportional costs of

infrastructure &/or to offset adverse effects of development

Summary of Submissions

• Eighteen submissions with 34 points of

submission

• Ten submissions with 11 further submission

points have been received in relation to principal submissions

Key Issues

• Development Contributions (dc’s) versus

Financial Contributions (fc’s)

• Ecological restoration
• Development Agreements
• Reserves Levels of service

Development Contributions versus Financial Contributions

• Consistency & clarity is sought between dc’s &

fc’s

• Clarity already provided for in the purpose

(24.1e)iv), and policy 24.2.1a) and rules 24.3.2b, and rule 24.3.3

• Recommended that further explanation be

added under the objective and policies

Ecological Restoration

• Policy requested to provide for fc’s to be taken

for river & gully system ecological restoration

• Can be provided subject to Newbury

Principles

• Recommended policy 24.2.1b iii & rule

24.3.3d) Offset Effects be reworded to provide for river & gully restoration

Development Agreements

• Request to include for significant developments
• Council enables development ahead of its

programme of works & will require a development agreement to ensure infrastructure is provided

• Recognised within Growth Funding Policy &

Development Contributions Policy

• Recommended to include in ‘explanation’ of
• bjective & policies

Reserves Levels of Service (Rule 24.4.1)

• Request a reserve los for passive activities

from 4ha to 10 ha per 1000 population

• A minimum of 4ha is required
• A change to 10ha would require a large

commitment & likely to be financially unsustainable

• Private property will contribute to 10%

indigenous cover
