MOTION NO. 39

MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

Section 2.1.5. Given that the available land around and adjacent to both Kishogue and Clonburrris Railway Stations should have the highest density (c/f SDZ0188, David Clements National Transport Authority) this will allow for a higher (than 90 hectares) of open space and for a pro rata increase in the (proposed 7.300 sq.m) of community floorspace.

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

REPORT:

Further to the responses to Motions 36, 37 & 38 (Items 56495, 56505, and 56564), the proposed motion would increase densities and buildings heights in the Clonburris Urban Centre and Kishogue Urban Centre in a manner that would reduce dwelling mix/choice and impact on the viability and affordability of housing. The motion would also result in the provision of public open space that is far in excess of the requirements of the Draft Planning Scheme.

The motion does not increase unit numbers and as such, there would be no pro rata increase in need for community open space.

Recommendation

It is recommended that this 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.
