MOTION NO. 176

MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

Section 2.7.2. And 2.7.3. In providing community floor space e.g. Community Centre(s), Health Care, Childcare and schools, South Dublin Council shall take the lead role and where necessary, and to ensure that the facilities are delivered on schedule to meet the needs of residents, secure bridging finance in anticipation of contributions from Developers and or Government Departments.

Councillors Guss O’Connell, Liona O’Toole, Paul Gogarty and Francis Timmons

REPORT:

The Chief Executive notes the intention of the motion. The DPS text, including amendments proposed through the motions and the CE report provides several statements and commitments in relation to working with the relevant stakeholders to delivery community facilities and services, including Dublin Fire Brigade, An Garda Siochana, Department of Education and Skills etc.

It is noted that Section 4.10 Funding and Implementation states that

‘All measures and funding streams available for the release of funding to provide for the delivery of infrastructure and community facilities in Clonburris will be pursued in conjunction with landowners/ developers.’

It is considered that the text in Section 4.10 covers the intention of the motion.

It is considered that additional text to Section 2.7.2 or 2.7.3 is unnecessary as the intent of the motion is already covered in the Draft Planning Scheme and the motion should therefore not be adopted.

Recommendation

It is recommended that the motion is not adopted.

 

Strategic Environmental Assessment of Chief Executive’s Recommendation

No interaction with Strategic Environmental Objectives.

Appropriate Assessment Screening of Chief Executive’s Recommendation

No likely significant effects on European sites within the SDZ’s zone of influence are predicted.
