Comment
The subject proposal will not result in land use
patterns developing in line with the City’s current
Scheme and Policy objectives.
Conclusion
The proposed development application directly contravenes the objectives of the Mixed
Business Zone as set out under LPS3, and directly contravenes the land use controls as set
out within the Mixed Business Design Guidelines. The applicant’s submission and
justification in support of the subject proposal such as land use patterns established under a
previous zoning and previous planning scheme, commercial leasing prospects and
precedent do not have any statutory planning basis or merit by which the City may consider
approving the application. For the above reasons the application is recommended for
refusal.
