Conclusion
The application requires Council to exercise its discretion in considering a Restaurant land
use and resultant shortfall in parking for the site. It is considered that the proposed land use
is consistent with the provision of LPS3 and the Industrial Design Guidelines, and is
therefore supported.
The resultant shortfall in parking is considered unlikely to result in a major parking problem
for the area as it is reasonable to anticipate predominant patronage will arrive on foot and
therefore not generate a parking demand. Notwithstanding the above, a condition is
recommended to be imposed requiring cash in lieu of car parking payment in relation to the
proposed car parking shortfall.
The application for a partial change of use from Industry General to Industry General and
Restaurant on the ground floor of Lot 96, House Number 74, Frobisher Street, Osborne Park
is recommended for approval, subject to conditions.
