MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

MOTION NO. 122

MOTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

Mount Bellew Way, Lucan

To amend objective TM7 SLO 1 to increase the requirement for visitor parking spaces from 10 to 20 and to delete the word ‘residential’.

Co-sponsored by Cllr. Casserly

REPORT:

TM7 SLO 1 states:

‘Provide for a minimum of 10 visitor parking spaces, along with a turning point, on any primary access roadway off Mount Bellew Way provided for future residential development in these zoned lands, so as to facilitate better management of drop-offs and pick-ups at the neighbouring Lucan Educate Together NS’.

The SLO was agreed by the Council in response to Motions Nos. 87 and 88 at the June 2015 Development Plan meeting.

The land to the south of Mount Bellew way is proposed to be zoned RES – To protect and/or improve residential amenity.  This would enable a variety of other uses, subject to planning permission.  Taking this into account, omitting the term ‘residential’ is appropriate. 

The number of spaces needed to cater for visitor and provide a drop off/pick up zone for the school is unknown at this time. The appropriate quantum of parking will be dependent on the type/intensity of development that takes place on the lands to the south of Mount Bellew Way and the safe management of vehicle movements/traffic flows around the school

Recommendation

It is recommended that this motion is adopted with amendment:

That TM7 SLO 1 be amended to state:

‘Provide for a visitor parking spaces, along with a turning point, on any primary access roadway off Mount Bellew Way so as to provide for the future development of these zoned lands and to facilitate the better management of drop-offs and pick-ups at the neighbouring Lucan Educate Together NS’
