REPORT:

Response

The Draft Planning Scheme already accords with the subject motion. Section 2.2.6 of the Draft Planning Scheme relates to Car Parking Standards and states that the standards are set out under the South Dublin County Council Development Plan (2016 – 2022). It is not considered necessary to include additional text in this regard under the section of the Draft Planning Scheme that relates to built form and design. It is accepted that Section 2.8.10 could be amended to make reference to Section 2.2.6 in relation to car parking standards.

Recommendation

It is recommended that this motion is adopted with amendment.

Include the following additional text under Section 28.10 (Design of Parking and Loading)

Car Parking

Parking shall not dominate streetscapes and should be carefully considered as part of the overall public realm in terms of layout, surface treatment and landscaping (see Section 2.2.6 for parking standards). External parking should primarily be provided on-street in accordance with the recommendations of DMURS (2013).

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.
