MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

Tuesday, May 04, 2010

HEADED ITEM NO. 71

To add an additional LZO to read as follows:

‘Lands at Fortunestown Way

Prepare a framework plan to promote enterprise and employment uses taking account of new public transport opportunities.’

  

Reason

These lands are currently zoned EP2. It is a central element of the Development Plan to promote enterprise and employment in appropriate locations. With respect to the expansion of residentially zoned lands it is considered that there is sufficient capacity in the County, but there is not the same capacity to exploit the fixed rail systems for employment and enterprise. This is such an area. The lands are traversed by the Luas extension and it is considered that there is considerable opportunity to encourage a mix of enterprise and employment uses which take advantage of the fixed rail link and build on the evolving form of enterprise and employment development which already exists in this general location. The retention of the EP2 zoning is considered appropriate given the location to the west of the County but in recognition of the particular opportunities that the Luas extension brings to this area it is recommended that an additional LZO be placed on these lands requiring the preparation of a framework plan to promote enterprise and employment uses taking account of new public transport opportunities.

Recommendation

That the amendment be adopted.
