Background
2. Three reports were
presented to the Urban Form and Transport Development (UFTD) Committee at its
13 October 2020 meeting, which sought a recommendation for Council to adopt
three proposed plan changes for the purposes of public notification for
submissions under Schedule 1 of the Resource Management Act 1991.
3. A summary of the changes
sought through the plan changes is provided below.
4. Plan Change 26 (Housing
Choice) covers the following key aspects:
(a) Suburban Residential Zone
(i) Enable duplexes and
comprehensively designed development (in the form of terraces / townhouses).
(b) Te Papa Peninsula:
(i) Enable duplex dwellings
and comprehensively designed development (terraces/townhouses/apartments)
through the introduction of the Te Papa Housing Overlay and amended City Living
Zone provisions. The provisions of the zone and the overlay are to be aligned
to achieve the same built form outcomes;
(ii) Increase height limits in the
Commercial Zone in Te Papa to align with height limits of surrounding
residential activities.
(c) Commercial Zone:
(i) Introduce on-site
amenity and urban design provisions for residential activities.
5. Plan Change 27 (Flooding
from Intense Rainfall) seeks to:
(a) Protect floodplains and overland
flowpaths;
(b) Manage development and
redevelopment within flood prone areas;
(c) Manage displacement effects,
earthworks and floor levels; and
(d) Control impervious surfaces in
the Suburban Residential, Large Lot and City Living zones.
6. Plan Change 30
(Earthworks)
(a) Control of earthworks at all
stages of development – involving the clarification of when earthworks as
part of subdivision are exempt from permitted activity controls, and ensuring
that when earthworks are ancillary to another activity that they are carried
out at the same time as that activity;
(b) Management of sediment on
sites – involving the provision of a comprehensive set of measures to
ensure sediment is kept on sites and is prevented from entering Council’s
stormwater system.
7. Each of the reports
presented to the UFTD Committee included the proposed text amendments to the
Tauranga City Plan and supporting section 32 analysis which provides a detailed
assessment required by the RMA to establish whether the proposed plan change
content is the most appropriate course of action.
8. If the UFTD Committee
raise any significant issues or propose amendments to the resolutions, then it
is likely that either:
(a) The recommended resolutions in
this report will require reference to amended S32 and/or annotated text; or
(b) This report may need to be
withdrawn from the agenda.
