ITEM LPP010/19 -
Planning Proposal Request For 2 Bachell Avenue, Lidcombe - Preliminary Public
Exhibition and Technical Assessment
|
|
1. The
Panel supports in principle the change in zoning to B5 Business Development.
2.
The Panel is of the view that insufficient evidence has been
provided by the applicant to justify a maximum FSR of 3:1 based on the
proposed mix of land uses submitted with the proposal. Based on documentation
provided, whilst the Panel does support an increase in FSR having regard to
the particular constraints of the site, it is of the view that an FSR of 2:1
may be more appropriate in the context of the site and surrounding land uses.
3.
Consideration should be given to including height controls over
the subject site.
4. Having
regard to 1, 2 and 3 the Planning Proposal Request proceed to the next stage
of assessment and be reported to Council seeking a resolution to forward an
amended planning proposal to the Department of Planning and Environment for a
Gateway Determination.
For:
Julie Walsh (Chairperson), Brian Kirk, Michael Ryan and Irene Simms.
Against:
Nil.
