2.       Confirmation of Minutes

 

The minutes of the Open Portion of the City Planning Committee meeting held on Monday, 10 September 2018 and the Special City Planning Committee meeting held on Monday, 17 September 2018, are submitted for confirming as an accurate record.

 

 

 

3.       Consideration of Supplementary Items

Ref: Part 2, Regulation 8(6) of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015.

Recommendation

 

That the Committee resolve to deal with any supplementary items not appearing on the agenda, as reported by the General Manager.

 

 

 

4.       Indications of Pecuniary and Conflicts of Interest

Ref: Part 2, Regulation 8(7) of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015.

 

Aldermen are requested to indicate where they may have any pecuniary or conflict of interest in respect to any matter appearing on the agenda, or any supplementary item to the agenda, which the committee has resolved to deal with.

5.       Transfer of Agenda Items

Regulation 15 of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015.

 

A committee may close a part of a meeting to the public where a matter to be discussed falls within 15(2) of the above regulations.

 

In the event that the committee transfer an item to the closed portion, the reasons for doing so should be stated.

 

Are there any items which should be transferred from this agenda to the closed portion of the agenda, or from the closed to the open portion of the agenda?

 

 

6.       Planning Authority Items - Consideration of Items With Deputations

 

In accordance with the requirements of Part 2 Regulation 8(3) of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015, the General Manager is to arrange the agenda so that the planning authority items are sequential.

 

In accordance with Part 2 Regulation 8(4) of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015, the Committee by simple majority may change the order of any of the items listed on the agenda, but in the case of planning items they must still be considered sequentially – in other words they still have to be dealt with as a single group on the agenda.

 

Where deputations are to be received in respect to planning items, past practice has been to move consideration of these items to the beginning of the meeting.

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

That in accordance with Regulation 8(4) of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015, the Committee resolve to deal with any items which have deputations by members of the public regarding any planning matter listed on the agenda, to be taken out of sequence in order to deal with deputations at the beginning of the meeting.

Memorandum: City Planning Committee

 

 

PLN-18-322 - 391 Sandy Bay Road, Sandy Bay – Alterations
(Re-Roofing)

 

 

Planning application PLN-18-322 for alterations (re-roofing) at 391 Sandy Bay Road, Sandy Bay was considered by the City Planning Committee at its meeting on 30 July 2018.  The application had an officer recommendation for refusal on heritage grounds.

The Committee resolved as follows:

That the matter be deferred to a subsequent City Planning Committee meeting to allow for further discussions to be undertaken between the Applicant and Council Officers to ascertain if an appropriate roof sheeting can be sourced which would be sympathetic to the dwelling and an extension of time is granted by the Applicant.

Since the Committee’s resolution to defer the planning application, there has been on-going discussion between the applicant and the Council's Cultural Heritage Officer and Development Appraisal Planner.

The application sought retrospective approval for replacement of the dwelling’s slate roof with a Colorbond roof.  After the matter was deferred at Committee, the applicant suggested that the application could be modified to propose a Monier slate replacement product on two roof planes: the front roof plane facing Sandy Bay Road and the side roof plane facing Lower Queenborough Oval.  The Council’s Cultural Heritage Officer advised that this revised proposal would be unlikely to be recommended for approval.  The Cultural Heritage Officer suggested that a proposal for the Monier slate replacement product to be put on all four roof planes except for the four roof planes of the inner valley, would be more likely to be supported at officer level. The applicant advised that this would be cost prohibitive.

As a consequence of these discussions, the applicant has requested that Council proceed with the application as originally proposed; that is, replacement of the entire slate roof with a Colorbond roof.

 

In light of the above, the officer recommendation for refusal remains.  A copy of the officer report and original plans are provided as an attachment to this memorandum.

The applicant’s consultant heritage expert (Mr Graeme Corney) has provided Council with an amended report, which provides further details of his reasons for supporting the proposal on heritage grounds. This report is attached to this memo as Attachment D.

An extension of time has been granted by the applicant until 30 October 2018.

 

REcommendation

Pursuant to the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015, the Council refuse the application for alterations (re-roofing) at 391 Sandy Bay Road, Sandy Bay for the following reasons:

1.         The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause E.13.7.1 A1 and P1 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because the demolition results in the loss of significant fabric that contributes to the historic cultural significance of the place and (a) there are not environmental, social, economic or safety reasons of greater value to the community than the historic cultural heritage values of the place; and (b) there are prudent and feasible alternatives.

2.         The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause E.13.7.2 A1 and P1 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because the development results in the loss of historic cultural heritage significance to the place through incompatible design, including materials.

3.         The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause E.13.7.2 A3 and P3 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because the materials do not respond to the dominant heritage characteristics of the place.

4.         The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause E.13.8.1 A1 and P1 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because the demolition results in the loss of buildings or works that contribute to the historic cultural significance of Heritage Precinct Sandy Bay 10 and (a) there are not environmental, social, economic or safety reasons of greater value to the community than the historic cultural heritage values of the place; and (b) there are prudent and feasible alternatives.

5.         The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause E.13.8.2 A1 and P1 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because the development results in detriment to the historic cultural heritage significance of Heritage Precinct Sandy Bay 10 as listed in Table E.13.2.

 

As signatory to this report, I certify that, pursuant to Section 55(1) of the Local Government Act 1993, I hold no interest, as referred to in Section 49 of the Local Government Act 1993, in matters contained in this report.

9.       Motions of which Notice has been Given

 

9.1      Affordable Housing in Developments and Precincts

            File Ref: F18/108479; 13-1-9

Alderman Marti Zucco

Motion:

“That a report be prepared that provides options for the Council to seek State Government support for legislative changes that gives the Council a “Head of Power” under the Local Government and/or Land Use Planning and Approvals Acts specifically allow the Council to require the provision of, or the contribution for, affordable and/or long term rental apartments/housing in certain developments and or precincts.

That the report also consider:

(a)  Further planning incentives such as bonuses to density, building envelopes, dwelling unit factors or permitted height allowances similar to those within the Commercial Zone of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 for affordable and/or long term rental accommodation;

 

(b)  Guidelines for binding agreements between the Council, developers and/or social housing providers to manage any affordable housing provided in accordance with any new head of power outlined above; and

 

(c)   Options to require any dwellings approved under bonus provisions to remain on the rental market for a minimum of 5 to 10 years depending on the development or planning bonuses.”

 

Rationale:

 

“It is widely known that there is a shortage of affordable housing and in particular housing rental properties. Currently councils do not have the ability to make agreements to provide bonus development to any size developer that delivers affordable housing and rental properties as part of their development.

 

As an example a small developer that has a parcel of land say at 1000 square meters and the dwelling unit factor is say 350m2 the developer can only build 3 units/apartments under the above proposal.  If the developer enters into an agreement with Council to provide either an extra apartment for the affordable housing market or the rental market for a period of say 10 years, the developer may receive these bonuses that could see 4 units/apartments built on the site (subject to meeting other planning guidelines). Similarly medium to larger developers may also achieve bonus development on similar bases such as bonus height and density where the height or density is specific to affordable or rental housing.

 

For example, New South Wales Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 considers the promotion of the social and economic welfare of the community as one of its objectives.  In 1999 the Act was amended to specifically include the provision and maintenance of affordable housing as an Object of the Act. The Act allows for the collection of contributions for affordable housing where a need for affordable housing is identified.  State Environmental Planning Policy No.70 – Affordable housing (Revised Schemes) 2009 (SEPP70) identifies that there is a need for affordable housing in the City of Sydney.  The Sydney Local Environmental Plan 2012 contains controls for the calculation, levying and management of affordable housing contributions in the City of Sydney.

 

Tasmania could develop legislation that would allow a developer to increase density provisions if they provide affordable housing or rental housing for a period so rather than simply have a heads of agreement to “collect” funds for a pool to hopefully build them in the future a model that provides bonuses for those developers that implement them in their developments will see this occur on a regular basis. What is needed is heads of agreement legislation for councils to negotiate on any specific development. 

 

This is an opportunity to have regular rental properties and affordable housing on the market, it is a win/win situation for the city and changes to legislation will provide councils with the power to achieve heads of agreement.”

 

The General Manager reports:

 

“In line with the Council’s policy in relation to Notices of Motion, I advise that the matter is considered to be within the jurisdiction of the Hobart City Council as it relates to the administration of planning schemes.”
