MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

MOTION NO. 138

MOTION: Councillor D. Looney

To change the zoning of a triangle-shaped piece of land in the laneway at the rear of the junction of St Peter's Rd and St James' Rd, Greenhills, currently the site of a community garden, from MU to OS.

Co signed by Cllr FN Duffy

REPORT:

The site is currently being used as a community garden and this use is well established. The Mixed Use zoning will not have an impact on the current use as it is not a requirement of the zoning to change the community use on the site. The zoning does, however, keep open possible opportunities for the site in the future.

Policies and objectives set out within the County Development Plan support community and recreational projects such as community gardens at suitable locations. Rather than change the zoning, it is recommended that an SLO be included within the Plan to support the community garden use at this location. 

Recommendation

It is recommended that this motion is adopted with amendment.
