APPLICANT/S           Herbal Hair and Beauty

OWNERS                    Mr J Di and Mrs L Di Bella

REPORT OF              Manager Development Services       

 

 

REASON FOR REFERRAL TO COUNCIL

 

The application is being referred to Council for determination as an objection letter has been received endorsed with 6 signatures. The beauty salon as part of its nominated treatments offers massage.

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

 

Approval is sought for a beauty salon including the provision of massage. The tenancy has a floor space of approximately 48m² and three cubicles for beauty treatments (including massage) three hair stations and two wash basins.

 

There will be three staff members employed on site. The proposed hours of operation are Tuesday to Sunday, 9:30am to 5:30pm.

 

One submission endorsed with six signatures was received in response to the notification of this application. Concern was raised by the objectors outlining the proposed beauty salon will affect the current business environment and result in adverse/negative competition.

 

When assessing an application, likely competition from other shop owners is not a relevant matter for consideration under section S79C of the Environmental Planning & Assessment Act 1979. It is up to market forces to determine whether other shops within the precinct will be viable

 

The use of a shop as a beauty salon, with massage (commercial premises) is a permissible land use in the Centre Business 3(a) zone and satisfies the objectives of the zone contained within Parramatta LEP 2001.

 

The application was referred to Council’s Community Crime Prevention Officer who raises no concern with the proposal subject to the imposition of relevant conditions of consent.

 

Accordingly, the application is recommended for approval subject to conditions.

 

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

That Development Application 528/2010 for the change of use and internal fit out for a beauty salon including the provision of massage on land at 34/74 Rawson Street, Epping be approved subject to the conditions of consent in Attachment 1 of this report.

DOMESTIC APPLICATION

ITEM NUMBER         10.2

SUBJECT                   1C Illarangi Street, Carlingford
(Lot 101 DP 1091554) (Lachlan Macquarie)

DESCRIPTION          Tree removal and the construction of a part three storey and part two storey residential dwelling with inground swimming pool and spa. Location Map - Attachment 3

REFERENCE            DA/333/2010 - Submitted 4 May 2010

APPLICANT/S           Mr J Tannous

OWNERS                    Elias & Elias Pty Ltd

REPORT OF              Manager Development Services       

 

 

The application has been referred to Council as the proposal seeks a variation (greater than 10%) to the height control of Clause 39 of Local Environmental Plan 2001.

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

 

The application seeks approval for tree removal and the construction of a part three storey and part two storey residential dwelling with inground swimming pool and spa.

 

Part of the proposed dwelling will be three storeys in height as defined by Parramatta Local Environmental Plan 2001 which exceeds the two storey development standard.

 

In accordance with a Planning Circular released by the Department of Planning in November 2008 on ’Reporting Variations to Development Standards' variations to development standards greater than 10% should be determined by Council.

 

The proposed works are consistent with the objectives of the Parramatta Local Environmental Plan 2001 and the Parramatta Development Control Plan 2005, and are considered satisfactory in terms of design, overshadowing, bulk and scale. The development provides sufficient landscaping and open space areas. The new dwelling is appropriately sited without impacting on adjoining properties. The non compliance is a technical non compliance due to the definition of a storey under PLEP 2001, which defines any subfloor area greater than 1.2 metres above ground level as a storey. The non-compliance is due to the sloping nature of the site, resulting in part of the subfloor area being a maximum of 1.4m above natural ground level together with the lift shaft.

 

The application was notified in accordance with Council’s Notification Policy and one submission was received raising concerns with a multi storey dwelling on a battle-axe allotment. The issues raised do not warrant refusal or modification of the development.

 

Accordingly, the application is recommended for approval.

 

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

(a)  That Council support the variation to Clause 39 of the PLEP 2001 under the provisions of SEPP 1.

 

(b)  Further, that Council as the consent authority grant development consent to Development Application No. DA/333/2010 for tree removal and construction of a three storey dwelling with inground swimming pool and spa on land at 1C Illarangi Street, Carlingford subject to the conditions of consent in Attachment 1 of this report.

DESCRIPTION          Conversion of a dual occupancy to a dwelling house. Approval is also sought for alterations and additions to a heritage listed building including the construction of a double garage at the rear of the site.

APPLICANT/S           Mr M Khoury

OWNERS                    Mr M Khoury and Ms T Bou-Antoun

REPORT OF              Manager Development Services       

 

 

REASON FOR REFERRAL TO COUNCIL

 

The application is being referred to Council for determination as the subject site is listed as a Heritage Item of Local Significance under Parramatta LEP 1996 (Heritage and Conservation) and the proposal seeks a SEPP 1 variation (greater than 10%) to Clause 40 ‘Floor space ratios for development’ in Parramatta Local Environmental Plan 2001.

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

 

Approval is sought for the conversion of a dual occupancy to a dwelling house, together with alterations and additions to the building including the construction of a double garage at the rear of the site.

 

The proposed dwelling has a floor space ratio of 0.54:1 which equates to a floor area of 213.5m2. While the proposed additions will result in the dwelling exceeding the FSR standard for dwellings of 0.5:1, the land is zoned 2(c) which permits residential flat buildings with an FSR of 0.8:1.

 

In accordance with the Planning Circular released by the Department of Planning in November 2008 on ‘Reporting Variations to Development Standards’, variations to development standards greater than 10% should be determined by Council.

 

Two submissions were received (from the same objector). Concern was raised by the objector over the impact on the shared ROW, non compliance with FSR and non compliance with Landscaping.

 

The application was referred to Council’s Heritage Advisor and Landscape Officer for review. No objections were raised subject to conditions of consent.

 

The proposed works are consistent with the objectives of Parramatta LEP 2001, Parramatta LEP 1996 (Heritage and Conservation), Parramatta Heritage DCP 2001 and Parramatta DCP 2005, and is considered satisfactory in terms of design, bulk and scale. The proposed additions are appropriately sited without impacting on the streetscape, adjoining properties and the heritage significance of the site.

 

Accordingly, the application is recommended for approval subject to conditions.

 

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

That Council as the consent authority grant development consent to Development Application No. 552/2010 for the conversion of a dual occupancy to a dwelling house, together with alterations and additions to a heritage listed building including the construction of a double garage at the rear of the site known as 5 Galloway St reet.

APPLICANT/S           TNT Issa Investments

OWNERS                    TNT Issa Investments and Parramatta City Council

REPORT OF              Manager Development Services       

 

 

REASON FOR REFERRAL TO COUNCIL

 

This DA is presented to Council for determination as part of the land over which the proposal will be built is Council land (Lot 2 in DP 869820 and Lot 2 in DP 869816).

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

 

Development Application No. 362/2008 seeks approval for the installation of a small boutique brewery (60m²) at the Port Bar in Parramatta, adjacent to the Parramatta River and the ferry wharf for use in association with the existing restaurant and bar.

 

The brewery is located to the eastern side of the Port Bar on land zoned B4 Mixed Use and RE1 Public Recreation.

 

The proposed additions are permissible with consent in both zones and are consistent with the objectives of Parramatta City Centre LEP 2007, Parramatta City Centre DCP 2007, Sydney Regional Environmental Plan (Sydney Harbour Catchment) 2005 and its DCP. The proposal will not unreasonably affect the amenity of the surrounding area, subject to conditions being imposed relating to the operation and management of the premises.

 

The application was advertised and notified in accordance with Council’s Notification DCP and no objections were received.

 

The matter was discussed with Council’s Community Crime Prevention Officer, who advised that as the proposed new brewery is not resulting in an increased occupancy of the pub/restaurant, he raises no objections with the proposal.

 

This is a long standing application resulting from anomalies in the City Centre LEP that prescribed a 0:1 FSR over the 3 allotments and no prescribed height limit over the land at Lot 1 in DP 869820 (the privately owned land). These anomalies prohibited further development over the subject site.

 

The development has only become permissible via corrections to the LEP (Amendment 3) that were commenced on 9th July, 2010. These corrections allow for an FSR of 4:1 and height of 36 metres over the subject private land and no prescribed FSR or height over the adjoining Council land (over which part of the brewery will be located).

 

The proposed brewery will result in an FSR of 0.093:1 when measured over the three allotments upon which it will be located. In terms of the privately owned land, subject of a maximum FSR of 4:1, the proposed brewery will maintain an existing FSR of less than 1:1.

 

The proposal will attain a maximum height of 6.65 metres, thereby complying with the maximum height limit of 36 metres.

 

The proposal is not designated development for the purposes of the Environmental Planning & Assessment Regulation 2000 as the anticipated volume of production is significantly less than the prescribed volumes prescribed by Schedule 3 of the Regulation.

 

The proposed brewery would produce approximately 500 litres of brewed beer per week for consumption on-site. The additions would retain the outward appearance consistent with the scale of the existing restaurant/pub and is of a use that is compatible with the existing and desired future character of the locality. 

 

Accordingly, conditional consent of the development application is recommended.

 

 

RECOMMENDATION

Council (Development)  13 September 2010                                                                         Item 11.2

MAJOR APPLICATION

ITEM NUMBER         11.2

SUBJECT                   15 Hammers Road Northmead (Lot B DP 348917) (Caroline Chisholm Ward)         

DESCRIPTION          Section 96(1a) modification to an approved child care centre for 64 children. The modification includes the removal of two trees in the rear setback of the property.

REFERENCE            DA/744/2006/A - 6 July 2010

APPLICANT/S           Zinnath Corporation Pty Limited

OWNERS                    Zinnath Corporation Pty Limited

REPORT OF              Manager Development Services       

 

 

REASON FOR REFERRAL TO COUNCIL

 

The application is referred to Council as the original application DA/744/2006 was determined by Council on 8 October 2007 and the application involves modification to a child care centre.

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

 

The application seeks to modify Development Consent No. 744/2006 under the provisions of Section 96(1A) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act.

 

Approval is sought to modify the application through the removal of two trees being 1 x Pinus and 1 x Grevillia Robusta within the rear children’s play area. Tree removal is required to ensure the safety of children and to assist in the construction of the rear play area. The tree removal is supported by Council’s Landscape officer who has assessed their landscape significance as being low.

 

Development Consent No. 744/2006 granted consent for the construction of a child care centre for 64 children on 8 October 2007.

 

One submission was received raising concerns over the increased traffic in the locality and where vehicles will be parked when visiting the centre. It is noted that this Section 96 modification does not amend the approved car parking arrangements.

 

The proposed modifications will not result in any unacceptable impacts to the amenity of the area. The development as modified by the subject application is substantially the same development as that approved. The proposed modification of the original development consent does not raise any additional issues in respect of compliance with Council’s policies.

 

Accordingly, approval of the request to remove the two existing trees is recommended.

 

 

 

 

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

(a)       That Council as the consent authority modify Development Consent No. 744/2006 under the provisions of Section 96(1A) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act as outlined in Attachment 1.

 

 

(b)        Further that, the objector be advised of Council’s decision.

ITEM NUMBER         11.3

SUBJECT                   165 Clyde Street, Granville (Lot 1 in DP 1055972) (Woodville Ward)

DESCRIPTION          Section 96(1a) modification to an approved 3 storey mixed use development containing ground floor retail space and 14 residential units above and basement level carparking.

REFERENCE            DA/230/2008/B - lodged 8th July, 2010

APPLICANT/S           Joey Constructions Pty Ltd

OWNERS                    Joey Constructions Pty Ltd

REPORT OF              Manager Development Services       

 

 

REASON FOR REFERRAL TO COUNCIL

 

This application is referred to Council as the development application to which the modification relates was determined by Council.

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

 

Section 96(1a) application DA/230/2008/B seeks approval for minor modifications to an approved 3 storey mixed use development containing ground floor retail space and 14 residential units above and basement level carparking. The proposed modifications involve rotating the locations of the bedrooms and lounge rooms in Units 5, 6, 12 and 13 and relocating the entry doors of Units 7 and 14 on Levels 2 and 3, so that each entry door is located within 6 metres from the fire stairs in order to comply with the requirements of the Building Code of Australia. The fire doors remain located in the entry corridors but relocated slightly in order to satisfy BCA requirements.

 

The changes will mean that the lounge rooms to these units will be located to the western side of the units, rather than the eastern side. The bedrooms are now to be located to the eastern side of the lounge rooms. There will be no change to the configuration or size of the external glazing.

 

Council approved the Section 82A review of DA/230/2008 at its meeting of 19th October, 2009.

 

Construction of the building is yet to commence.

 

No objections were received in response to the notification of the application.

 

The proposal is considered to be acceptable as it is consistent with the aims and objectives of SEPP 65, Parramatta Local Environmental Plan 2001 and its DCP. There is no change to the number of units, the building’s height or floor area. Accordingly, the application is recommended for approval.

 

 

 

 

 

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

(a)       That Council as the consent authority and in accordance with Section 96(1a) of the Environmental Planning & Assessment Act, 1979, grant its approval to modify Development Application No. DA/230/2008 for an approved 3 storey mixed use development containing ground floor retail and 14 residential units above, over basement level carparking by rotating the locations of the bedrooms and lounge rooms in Units 5, 6, 12 and 13 and relocating the entry doors of Units 7 and 14 as shown on the plans submitted, on land at 165 Clyde Street, Granville.

MAJOR APPLICATION

ITEM NUMBER         11.4

SUBJECT                   16 Grand Avenue Camellia (Lot A DP 109063) (Ward)

DESCRIPTION          Section 96(2) application to modify a development consent for a recycling yard for used building materials. The modification is to allow the premises to receive and store green waste.

REFERENCE            DA/144/1997/A - Submitted 31 May 2010

APPLICANT/S           KLF Holdings Pty Ltd

OWNERS                    Trebor Enterprises Pty Ltd

REPORT OF              Manager Development Services       

 

 

REASON FOR REFERRAL TO COUNCIL

 

The application is referred to Council for determination because the parent DA was determined by Council.

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

 

The application seeks approval to modify the development consent for an existing recycling yard for used buildings materials by allowing the premises to also receive and store green waste. No works are proposed on site to accommodate green waste as existing facilities can be used. No additional hours of operation, staff or deliveries are proposed.

 

The recycling yard is a permissible activity within the Regional Enterprise zone and currently receives waste from a variety of sources including skip bins. Waste bins containing green waste mixed in with building materials are occasionally received by the recycling yard.

 

The application has resulted from the operator of the recycling yard making an application to the Department of Environment Climate Change and Water to vary their Environment Protection License to permit the receiving, storing and processing of green waste. The Department of Environment Climate Change and Water can only issue the variation to the license if the development consent for the premises is modified to include the receipt and storage of green waste. The role of the Department of Environment Climate Change and Water as a licensing authority also results in the proposal being classified as Integrated Development.

 

No submissions were received in response to the notification of the proposal.

 

It is noted that part of the site is affected by heritage listed wetlands associated with the Parramatta River. 

 

The environmental impacts of the modification can be addressed through the imposition of conditions regarding storage requirements, volume of waste, odours, stormwater disposal, and the location of the green waste bin. Accordingly approval of the application is recommended.

 

 

 

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

That Council as the consent authority, modify development consent to Development Application No. 144/1997, ‘To use the premises as a recycling yard for used building materials’ on land at 16 Grand Avenue Camellia by making the following amendments to the development consent:

 

Replace the existing description of the approved development with the following revised description:

 

“To use the premises as a recycling yard for used building materials and incidental green waste’.

 

The addition of the following conditions:

 

24. The applicant must comply with section 129 of the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 that states "a licensee must not cause or permit the emission of any offensive odour from the Premises to which the licence applies”.

 

25. All green waste received at the premises must be stored in a sealed bin and must not be processed at the premises.

 

26. The applicant must comply with section 120 of the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997.

 

27. Section 120 of the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 prohibits the pollution of waters. Appropriate measures must be taken to prevent stormwater run off from the stored green waste.

 

28. The quantity of green waste received and stored at the premises must not exceed 5 tonnes per annum.

 

29. The green waste bin must not be stored within the area of the site zoned Environmental Protection under the provisions of Sydney Regional Environmental Plan No. 28.

Reason: To minimise risk to the environment.

MAJOR APPLICATION

ITEM NUMBER         11.5

SUBJECT                   59 Victoria Road Parramatta (Lot 2 DP 37358) (Arthur Phillip Ward)

DESCRIPTION          Demolish existing structures, tree removal and the construction of a two storey boarding house with 14 boarding rooms and a maximum occupancy of 16 boarders.

REFERENCE            DA/21/2010 - Submitted 15 January 2010

APPLICANT/S           Mr Nigel White

OWNERS                    Mrs M Hend

REPORT OF              Manager Development Services       

 

 

REASON FOR REFERRAL TO COUNCIL

 

This DA is referred to Council for determination due to the number of submissions received and that it involves development for the purposes of a boarding house.

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

 

DA/21/2010 is a development application seeking to demolish the existing structures on the site and construct a two storey boarding house to contain 14 boarding rooms and one communal living room to cater for a maximum of 16 boarders. The plan of management/plans lodged with the application indicate that the kitchen of each boarding room will be fitted with a sink, bar fridge, bench space, washing machine and dryer. The boarding rooms will also be supplied with a bed, table and chairs. Each bedroom will be provided with a phone line and it is at the tenant’s discretion whether or not they connect to the service. The plan of management identifies the hours of use of the common recreation area, indicating the room is not to be used after 10pm Sunday to Thursday or midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. There is no provision for an on-site manager to reside within the boarding house.

 

In accordance with Council’s Notification DCP, owners of surrounding properties were given notice of the application for a period of 21 days between 27 January and 17 February 2010. In response, ten submissions were received objecting to the proposal, including one petition from six properties. As a result of the level of concern expressed in the submissions, an onsite meeting was held with the persons who made submissions, the applicant, the assessment officer and Councillors on 1 May 2010.  Eleven residents from the neighbourhood attended the onsite meeting. Amended plans were renotified between 7 and 28 July 2010 and one submission was received. Issues that were raised at the onsite inspection and in submissions addressed the suitability of the site for a boarding house given the residential zone, proximity to a girls school, playground, the distance from the CBD, the cumulative impacts given a similar boarding house is proposed on the adjoining site, the lack of parking, the impact upon property values, the appearance of the development, noise, the type of tenants, the facilities for tenants, loss of privacy, loss of trees and heritage impact.

 


State Environmental Planning Policy (Affordable Rental Housing) 2007 (ARHSEPP) was introduced to ensure that affordable rental housing projects were treated equitably across the state and subject to ARHSEPP a boarding house is permissible with consent on the subject site. It is noted that at clause 8, ARHSEPP indicates that where there is an inconsistency between it and any other environmental planning instrument, ARHSEPP prevails to the extent of the inconsistency. As such ARHSEPP does not override provisions of the LEP that are not inconsistent with ARHSEPP. Clause 29 sets standards that if met cannot be used to refuse consent to an application for a boarding house and the proposal satisfies these standards other than the standard related to FSR. ARHSEPP requires that consent cannot be refused on the basis of density if the development does not exceed the maximum FSR applying to the site. The LEP specifies a maximum FSR of 0.6:1 and the proposal seeks a FSR of 0.75:1. Notwithstanding the FSR proposed is higher, the density of the proposal is considered appropriate given the context of the site in an area that contains a number of residential flat buildings. Clause 30 contains standards for boarding houses and the proposal is consistent with those standards.

 

The site is zoned Residential 2(b) under Parramatta Local Environmental Plan 2001 and within that zone a boarding house is permissible with consent. The proposal is consistent with the provisions of Parramatta Local Environmental Plan 2001 and Parramatta Development Control Plan 2005.

 

The subject site is proposed to be zoned R3 Medium Density Residential under Draft LEP 2010. The proposed use is defined as a boarding house and will be permissible land use on the site if the proposed zoning proceeds. The proposal is generally consistent with the relevant objectives of the zone.

 

Accordingly, the application is recommended for approval.

 

 

 

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

(a)     That Council, as the consent authority, grant consent to Development     Application No. DA/21/2010 for demolition of the existing structures and   construction of a boarding house containing 14 boarding rooms at 59 Victoria   Road, Parramatta as shown on the approved plans, subject to the conditions in Attachment 1.

 

(b)     Further, that the objectors be advised of Council’s decision.

MAJOR APPLICATION

ITEM NUMBER         11.7

SUBJECT                   Site A 121-129 Railway Parade, Granville (Lot 11 DP 1018867) (Woodville Ward)

DESCRIPTION          Demolition of structures, tree removal and construction of a three storey mixed use development containing 25 dwelling units and three shops over basement level carparking for 29 cars.

REFERENCE            DA/723/2009 - Submitted 22 October 2009

APPLICANT/S           Australian Consultant Architects

OWNERS                    Mr O. Cingiloglu

REPORT OF              Manager Development Services       

 

 

REASON FOR REFERRAL TO COUNCIL

 

This DA is referred to Council for determination as there is a concurrent development application (DA/724/2009) for the re-development of the adjoining site to the east for the purposes of a 307 seat place of public worship (with five dwelling units above) and having regard to the cumulative impact of these two proposed developments in relation to traffic generation and parking provision.

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

 

The proposal involves the demolition of existing industrial structures on the site and the construction of a three storey mixed use development comprising 25 dwelling units and three ground floor shops over a 29 space basement carpark.

 

Four submissions were received, these relating primarily to traffic and parking issues. The issues are addressed in the Section 79C Assessment Report (Attachment 1) and are not considered sufficiently adverse to warrant refusal of the application.

 

This is a long standing application resulting from stormwater and Railcorp issues needing to be satisfactorily addressed. These matters have recently been resolved by amended stormwater plans and subject to a deferred commencement consent being recommended by Railcorp.

 

The proposal has been considered by Council’s Design Review Panel and the proposal is considered to satisfy the design quality principles of SEPP No. 65 – Design Quality of Residential Flat Buildings. 

 

The proposal results in a shortfall of car parking on the site.  According to the DCP, an additional 17 car parking spaces would be required for the proposed residential units, shops and visitor parking. 

 

In providing 29 carparking spaces, the development provides one space for each dwelling and four for the shops. This will result in no visitor parking being provided on the site.

 

Given the location of the site in reasonable proximity to public transport (approximately 645 metres to the west of Granville Railway Station and bus interchange) and the availability of parking on the street, this should not create an unreasonable impact on the capacity of the road network. Given this proximity and the gentle grade of the street between the property and the railway station, it is considered likely that some visitors to the site would avail themselves of the frequent public transport options available in the area.

 

In addition to this, advice from Council’s Traffic Engineer is that:

 

“Council proposes to install a Residential Parking Scheme (RPS) and associated '2 hour parking' 8am - 6pm Monday – Friday’ with exemptions for permit holders in the area closer to the railway station such as Jamieson Street, Railway Parade and The Avenue.  In Railway Parade, the signs are proposed to be installed on the southern kerbside of the road opposite the proposed development. “

 

This will serve to further free-up the availability of on-street parking during the day to allow for visitor parking on the street and to allow for residents who comply with conditions to be able to park upon the street. Furthermore, it is considered that in the event that this parking scheme did not go ahead, ample visitor parking would still remain available either on Railway parade or in adjacent streets near the site.

 

The most pressing issue in this DA is the cumulative impact of the two developments in particular, in respect of parking, both in terms of the amount that is to be provided on the respective sites in basement parking, as well as the impact on the availability of street parking for existing residents and their visitors and the likely demand for on-street parking. The conclusions of the attached report are that the cumulative impacts of the two developments is acceptable and that the demand on street parking will be at its highest only for limited periods throughout the week.

 

Despite the non-compliant carparking, the proposal is generally consistent with the objectives and development controls of the Parramatta Local Environmental Plan 2001 and Parramatta Development Control Plan 2005 and there will be no likely unacceptable impacts on adjoining properties.

 

Accordingly, approval of the application is recommended.

 

 

 

 

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

(a)     That Council, as the consent authority, grant deferred commencement consent        to Development Application 723/2009 for the demolition of structures, tree      removal and the construction of a three storey mixed use building containing 25          dwelling units, three shops and basement level carparking for 29 cars at 121-        129 Railway Parade, Granville, subject to the conditions contained in      Attachment 1.

 

(b)     Further, that the objectors be advised of Council’s decision.

ITEM NUMBER         11.8

SUBJECT                   Site B 121-129 Railway Parade, Granville (Lot 11 DP 1018867) (Woodville Ward)

DESCRIPTION          Demolition of buildings, tree removal and the construction of a mixed use development comprising a 307 seat place of public worship (including a parent's room containing 34 seats) and community centre with five residential units within a part three/ part four storey building and two levels of carparking accommodating 44 cars.

APPLICANT/S           Australian Consultant Architects

OWNERS                    Mr O Cingiloglu

REPORT OF              Manager Development Services       

 

 

REASON FOR REFERRAL TO COUNCIL

 

This application is brought to Council for determination as it includes a proposed place of public worship.

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

 

Development Application No. 724/2009 seeks consent for the demolition of buildings and structures, tree removal and the construction of a mixed use development comprising a 307 seat place of public worship (including a parent’s room containing 34 seats) and community centre with five residential units within a part three/ part four storey building and two levels of carparking accommodating 44 cars.

 

The place of public worship and ancillary community centre will operate between the hours of:

 

·    7.00pm to 9.00pm Mondays (bible studies);

·    7.00pm to 9.00pm Thursdays (main weekly service);

·    10.00am to Midday Fridays (prayer meetings); and

·    9.00am to 11.00am and 6.00pm to 8.00pm Sundays (Sunday services).

 

Four submissions were received, raising issues relating to the lack of parking provided on the site, the lack of on-street parking at times and the inadequate disabled access to the new building.

 

Council staff wrote to the applicant on 19th March, 2010 advising that extra carparking should be provided.  On 12th April, 2010, amended plans were received depicting a further basement level of carparking providing an additional 22 carparking spaces in accordance with Council staff’s request.

 

There is a concurrent development application (DA/723/2009) relating to the adjacent site (Site A) to the west. That DA involves the construction of a three storey mixed uses building containing 25 dwelling units and three shops over basement level parking for 29 cars. The cumulative impact of both developments has been discussed in both Section 79C assessment reports and deemed to be acceptable.

 

Since lodgement of this DA, Council’s DCP for Place of Public Worship has been adopted (15th June, 2010) and came into force on 30th June, 2010. The DCP states that there are no savings provisions and accordingly its provisions apply to the assessment of this DA.

 

The DCP prescribes a rate of carparking to be based upon the submission of a traffic impact statement having regard to the objectives of the DCP relating to carparking. The proposal exceeds the required number nominated by the traffic impact statement of 39 spaces by five and is therefore considered to comply with the requirements of the DCP for Places of Public Worship.

 

Railcorp has advised that it is prepared to grant deferred commencement consent conditions to this development application, subject to further geotechnical investigations and rail corridor-related studies being undertaken.

 

Subject to conditions and a deferred commencement consent relating to the matters raised by Railcorp, the proposal is considered to be acceptable as it is consistent with the aims and objectives of Parramatta Local Environmental Plan 2001 and its DCP and complies with the current requirements of the newly adopted Places of Public Worship DCP.

 

Accordingly, consent to the application is recommended.

 

 

 

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

(a)       That Council, as the consent authority, grant a deferred commencement development consent to Development Application No. 724/2009 for the demolition of buildings and structures, tree removal and the construction of a mixed use development comprising a 307 seat place of public worship (including a parent’s room containing 34 seats) and community centre with five residential units within a part three/ part four storey building and two levels of carparking accommodating 44 cars in the manner outlined in Attachment 1.

 

(b)       Further, that the objectors be advised in writing of Council’s decision.

Northern Elevation

 

·    The sizes of the bathroom and ensuite windows of Units 1, 5 and 12 have been reduced.

·    Due to the increase in the width of the bedrooms for Units 3, 4, 7, 8, 14 and 15, the windows are repositioned closer to Woodville Road.   

 

During the notification period, one petition with 5 signatures and 3 individual submissions were received. Issues raised in the submissions include, queries as to the reasons for the omission of these modifications from the original application, queries into the status of the portion of land the applicant claims to be dedicated for road widening, air quality on Woodville Road, concerns to the reasons why Council did not identify the correct boundaries and site area of the development site during the original assessment of the application, impacts of demolition works, objections to tree removal, objections to increasing the housing density within the area, inconsistent development on Woodville Road, insufficient parking and increased local traffic, the provision of overlooking opportunities from the development to adjoining properties and objections to the BBQ area and cabana along the western boundary.

 

The application was referred to Council’s Landscape Officer and Development Engineer. Upon review of the modifications, both Council’s Landscape Officer and Development Engineer did not raise any objections.

 

The proposed modifications will not result in any unacceptable impacts to the amenity of the area. The development as modified by the subject application is substantially the same development as that approved. It is noted that the development was originally assessed and compliant with PDCP 2001 and modifications to site boundaries has resulted in several non-compliances with Council’s PDCP 2005 controls. In particular, the rear setback, deep soil and FSR for Woodville Road.  However the development does not propose modifications to the approved floor area or height.

 

Accordingly, approval of the request to modify condition No. 1 is recommended.

MAJOR APPLICATION

ITEM NUMBER         11.10

SUBJECT                   4-6 Hammers Road Northmead (Lots 8-9 DP 7339) (Arthur Phillip Ward)

DESCRIPTION          Consolidation of two allotments, re-subdivision into 3 lots, tree removal and construction of seniors housing development to accomodate 11 villas on proposed lot B.

REFERENCE            DA/714/2009 - Submitted 19 October 2009

APPLICANT/S           JS Architects Pty Ltd

OWNERS                    Mr G Chong, Ms K Emerson, Ms J Lee, Mr C Baissari

REPORT OF              Manager Development Services       

 

 

REASON FOR REFERRAL TO COUNCIL

 

The application has been referred to Council as the proposal has received more than 5 objections.

 

This report was deferred from the Council Meeting on 9 August 2010 pending a Conciliation Meeting.

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

 

The proposal involves the following:

 

·    Consolidation of the two (2) existing allotments;

·    Re-subdivision of the consolidated site into three (3) allotments. Lot A will be occupied by the 2 storey dwelling that contains a doctors surgery. Lot B will be redeveloped for a seniors living development under State Environmental Planning Policy (Housing for Seniors or People with a Disability) 2004. Lot C will be occupied by the single storey timber clad cottage;

·    Lot B (the rear lot) will be accessed by a driveway located at the centre of the frontage between No. 4 and No. 6 Hammers Road. The driveway will also provide access to a new garage located to the rear of the single storey timber clad cottage; and

·    The proposed seniors living development will comprise 11 x two bedroom villa style dwellings with first floor attics arranged in four separate buildings around a central driveway.

 

The notification of the application attracted 22 submissions and 3 petitions. The submissions received in relation to the application related to tree removal, building height, drainage/flooding, overshadowing, privacy, waste disposal, traffic, car parking, heritage impacts and area character. The submissions have been assessed and do not warrant refusal of the application.

 

As the existing dwellings at No. 4 and 6 Hammers Road are heritage items of local significance the application has been reviewed by Council’s Heritage Advisor and is considered to be acceptable. Traffic and parking issues have been addressed in a response from the Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) and Council’s Traffic and Transportation Engineer and are considered to be acceptable subject to conditions of approval being imposed. Local flooding issues have been considered by Council’s Development Engineer and Catchment Management Section and it is considered that subject to conditions of approval being imposed, the proposal will not result in significant impacts in the locality.

 

The proposal is generally consistent with the objectives and development controls of the SEPP (Housing for Seniors or People with a Disability) 2004 as well as the relevant provisions of Parramatta Local Environmental Plan 2001, Parramatta Local Environmental Plan 1996 (Heritage and Conservation) and Parramatta Development Control Plan 2005 and there will be no likely unacceptable impacts on adjoining properties.

 

The proposal does result in non-compliance with Clause 40(4)(c) of State Environmental Planning Policy (Housing for Seniors or People with a Disability) 2004, which states that a building located in the rear 25% area of the site must not exceed 1 storey in height. The applicant has submitted a State Environmental Planning Policy No. 1 Objection in relation to this non-compliance. The non-compliance affects two units within the development and the upper level is limited to an attic which under the Standard Instrument for a Local Environmental Plan would not constitute a “storey”. The non-compliance will not result in any unacceptable privacy impacts, overshadowing or excessive bulk in the building form. Accordingly, it is considered that the SEPP 1 Objection is well founded.

 

This is a long standing application that has been amended several times in response to concerns raised by Council staff and the Town Planning Consultant engaged by Council to finalise the assessment.

 

Approval of the application is recommended.

 

 

RECOMMENDATION                                                     

 

(a)     That Council support the variation to Clause 40(4)(c) of State Environmental Planning Policy (Housing for Seniors or People with a Disability) 2004, which          states that a building located in the rear 25% area of the site must not exceed 1         storey in height, under the provisions of SEPP 1.

 

(b)     That Council as the consent authority grant development consent to        Development Application No. 714/2009 for consolidation of two existing    allotments, re-subdivision into 3 lots, tree removal and proposed seniors        housing development to accommodate 11 villas on proposed lot B (rear lot)    with a lapsing period of five (5) years from the date on the Notice of          Determination subject to the conditions contained within Attachment 1. 

 

(c)     Further, that the objectors be advised of Council’s decision.
