MOTION NO. 170

MOTION: Councillor E. O'Brien

That this Council provides in this Development Plan for the continued orderly expansion of enterprise zoned lands, particularly in the Grange Castle/Profile Park area, so as to ensure the ongoing attraction of foreign direct investment to our County.

REPORT:

The orderly expansion of enterprise zoned lands is supported in the current Development Plan through various policies and objectives including the layout and design for industrial and business parks. While Grange Castle/Profile Park area is mentioned, it is considered that this objective is sufficiently strategic given its county-wide application to be included as strategic direction and will complement the CE Recommendations to attract FDI and indigenous enterprise into the County and support economic growth. However, to ensure clarity as to the strategic direction, it is recommended that it is amended to reflect that this is orderly expansion within zoned enterprise lands.

Recommendation:  It is recommended that this motion is adopted with amendment:

Provide for the continued orderly expansion within zoned enterprise land, through appropriate phasing and placemaking measures, so as to ensure the ongoing attraction of foreign direct investment to our County
