RESOLVED (Issa OAM/Lang)
(a) That DA/723/2008 for use of Unit
2/15 Mary Parade, Rydalmere as a brothel, be refused for the following
reasons:
(1) That the degree of information submitted with the development
application is deficient in a number of areas, in particular:
(i) security
of the premises;
(ii) carparking;
(iii) disabled
access;
(iv) signage;
(v) external
lighting;
(vi) compliance
with, and an assessment against, the relevant criteria prescribed by
Parramatta Council’s Regulation of Brothels Development Control Plan;
(vii) the
cumulative impacts resulting from the number of brothels located in proximity
to the site.
(2) That the development application fails to adequately address
Clause 79 of Sydney Regional Environmental Plan (Parramatta
) No.28 in relation to:
- Whether the operation of the brothel will be likely to cause a disturbance
in the neighbourhood;
- Whether the operation of the brothel will be likely to interfere with the
amenity of the neighbourhood taking into account
other brothels locating in the vicinity.
(3) That no parking and traffic study has been submitted with
the development application and there is insufficient detail to be able to formulate a thorough
assessment of the
proposal.
(4) That no private lounge or rest facilities have been provided
for sex workers on the premises.
(5) That no evidence has been submitted to suggest that the
mezzanine level of the building is a lawfully separate unit.
(6) For the reasons raised by the objectors.
(7) That granting consent to the development application would
not be in the public interest.
(b) Further, that the objectors be advised of Council’s decision.
