PART A – MATTERS REQUIRING A COUNCIL DECISION
1. PARKLANDS/BOTTLE LAKE PLANTATION - FLETCHER’S TEMPORARY YARD SITE
General Manager responsible: General Manager City Environment Group, DDI 941 8608 Officer responsible: Asset and Network Planning Unit Manager Author: Jeff Woodham, Leasing Consultant
PURPOSE OF REPORT
1. For Council to consider an application made under the Canterbury Earthquake (Reserves Legislation) Order No 2 2011 (“the Order”), for a warrant to be granted to occupy part of Bottle Lake Plantation, on which to temporarily place office buildings within a yard site from which to undertake repairs to the sewage system in Parklands. This area will be fenced with a security fence.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
2. The Ranger staff at the Bottle Lake Forest Park have assisted in identifying the area to be occupied by Fletchers (as the Project Managers) and Worthington Contractors as the yard from which to undertake the Parklands area sewerage rebuild. The area identified is in the buffer zone between the Bottle Lake Forestry operation and the Parklands residential area.
3. Fletcher Construction Company Limited (“Fletchers”) and Worthington Construction Limited have now approached the Council to request a yard area measuring 100 metres by 50 metres, as depicted in Attachment 1 and detailed:
(a) permission to locate stockpiles
(b) permission to locate a pump and tank area
(c) permission to erect security fencing around the immediate warrant area only, to secure and contain the temporary yard as indicated on the plan.
4. The purpose of the above requests being to provide office and yard space from which to administer the undertaking of repairs to earthquake damaged sewage infrastructure to approximately 600 private dwellings in the adjacent residential area. Other sites have been assessed in the vicinity and for various reasons this site has been chosen as the most appropriate for this purpose.
5. The reserve is a Local Purpose (Plantation) Reserve (1981 p2435 NZGZ) vested in the Council. The legal description is Part of Res 2343 (SO2688) being of 119.9892 hectares in area contained in CT 128/69 and RS 21893 (SO371) being of 16.1874 hectares in area contained in CT 348/274.
6. Staff believe the siting of the yard will have little impact on the grounds. Any damage to the grassed or sealed areas of the park will be made good by Fletcher’s following the termination of the Warrant of Occupation agreement. 22 COUNCIL 24. 4. 2013

1. Cont’d
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
7. The Council will not be charging a rental to Fletcher’s for their occupation of the reserve land on which their temporary yard is to be placed, this being a SCIRT project being undertaken for the Council.
Do the Recommendations of this Report Align with 2009-19 LTCCP budgets?
8. No.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
9. In response to the circumstances arising from the 22 February 2011 earthquake, the Government enacted the Canterbury Earthquake (Reserves Legislation) Order (No 2) 2011, (the Order), pursuant to the Canterbury Earthquake Response and Recovery Act 2010 to enable reserves to be used for certain purposes which would not normally be permissible under the Reserves Act 1977, or other similar legislation, and thereby to avoid unnecessary delays in responding to circumstances arising from the earthquake.
10. The Order enables some temporary solutions to issues caused by the earthquakes to be accommodated on park and reserve land. The Order expires on 18 April 2016, this being the expiry date of the empowering legislation under which the Order has been made. The Order does not allow the use of parks and reserves for earthquake related purposes after its expiry date, unless the use would normally comply with uses allowed under the relevant legislation that the park and reserve is held under, and a permanent occupation right in accordance with that legislation has been granted, before the expiry of the Order.
11. The Council has the power under the Order to grant permission for the temporary use of a park or reserve for a depot or any other storage facility (for example, for the storage of vehicles, demolition waste or building or other materials) (S5(b)(i)), subject to complying with section 7 (Rights and Obligations of Third Parties Subject to Council Powers) of the Order. The Council, or any person authorised in writing by the Council, or the Council’s Chief Executive, may grant this permission.
12. The Order also provides that when the Council authorises any such use of a reserve that it does not need to comply with any relevant management plan or the usual Reserves Act processes. However, under the warrant, the Council will require Fletcher’s to take all reasonable steps to protect the integrity of the reserve and to ensure that the reserve is reinstated at the end of the use as closely as practicable to its prior condition as required by section 6(2) (a) and (b) of the Order.
13. In addition to Council authorisation under the Order, Fletcher’s will also need to obtain all necessary resource and building consents required (if any) under the Building Act 2004 and the Resource Management Act 1991 or any Orders applicable to these acts made under the Canterbury Earthquake Response and Recovery Act 2010 for the proposed use. Approval under the Reserves Legislation Order does not constitute consent under those Acts.
14. The reason approval for the yard is being sought under the Order is because occupations of park and reserve land for the purpose of temporary site offices for administration of repairs on other land is not allowed under the Reserves Act 1977.
Have you considered the legal implications of the issue under consideration?
15. Yes, as above.

Do the recommendations align with the Council’s strategies?
19. Not applicable.
CONSULTATION FULFILMENT
20. Clause 6 of the Order expressly provides that the Council may act under the Order without complying with the Reserves Act 1977 (including any provision relating to public notification or the hearing of objections).
21. Clause 7 of the Order requires the Council to give notification to parties who have an easement, lease, licence, covenant or other legal right over the area of reserve to be temporarily occupied under the Order. Officers previously made contact with all parties who have legal interests in the reserve to make them aware of the permission being granted to Fletcher’s to occupy the site as is required by clause 7 of the Order.
22. In addition, the Canterbury Earthquake (Local Government Act 2002) Order 2010 exempts the Council from compliance with some of the decision-making processes set out in the Local Government Act 2002. These include the requirement that the Council considers community views and preferences.
23. The exemptions can be relied upon in this case because it is necessary for the purpose of ensuring that Christchurch, the Council, and its communities respond to and recover from the impacts of the Canterbury Earthquakes.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that pursuant to clause 5(b)(i) of the Canterbury Earthquake (Reserves Legislation) Order 2011, the Council:
(a) Authorise the siting of a temporary yard and the installation of security fencing within Bottle Lake Plantation for use by Fletcher Construction Company Limited and their contractor Worthington Contracting Limited, as is approximately depicted on the application plan attached to this report (refer Attachment 1).
(b) Agree that the period for which the authority referred to in paragraph (a) of this recommendation shall apply is that period commencing on the date of this authority until the expiry of the Order in Council on 18 April 2016 or until a date the Council shall determine the hub is no longer required, whichever is the sooner, as set out in the current warrant.
(c) Approve the non-charging of a rental to Fletcher’s for their occupation of the park land on which their temporary buildings and yard will be placed, because this is a SCIRT project being undertaken to repair the city’s infrastructure.
(d) The warrant be prepared to reflect the portable building and security fencing being placed upon the site, and the plan of the site on which is shown the position of the site be appended to the warrant.
(e) Before any work commences on the site, the applicants will be required to: 24 COUNCIL 24. 4. 2013

(ii) Ensure all contractors working on the site have a minimum of $2,000,000 public liability insurance.
(iii) Ensure all services to the proposed building are laid underground.
BOARD CONSIDERATION
The Board’s consideration of the staff report followed deputations also made at the meeting on behalf of Tumara Park residents along with tabled correspondence from a number of local residents on the matter.
The key concerns presented to the Board in regard to the proposed site were the consultation process, various described adverse environmental and amenity effects, impacts on community wellbeing, and traffic management and safety issues due to the narrowness of Rothesay Road in this locality.
From the presentations made to it, the Board concluded that further consideration must be given to another site that provided better access to arterial roads such as at Queen Elizabeth II Park or within the Burwood Resource Recovery Park and that could better serve as a base for SCIRT associated activities in the Parklands area.
The Board noted the request from staff that SCIRT and its contractors be named as the applicant rather than Fletchers.
On behalf of the Board, the Chairperson thanked the members of the public in attendance for their participation and contributions and also acknowledged and extended the Board’s thanks for the very good work that SCIRT is doing in the ward.
BOARD RECOMMENDATION
The Board recommends:
(a) That the Council decline the staff recommendation to establish a temporary lay down site at Rothesay Road, Parklands.
(b) That the Council request staff to reconsider alternative sites, specifically Queen Elizabeth II Park and a site within the Burwood Resource Recovery Park.
(c) That the project be reconsidered given the communities expressed concerns regarding community well-being, the narrowness of Rothesay Road and subsequent traffic management/safety issues, and the loss of amenity. 25 COUNCIL 24. 4. 2013

REPORT BY THE CHAIRPERSON OF THE SPREYDON/HEATHCOTE COMMUNITY BOARD 19 APRIL 2013
1. STRICKLAND STREET / ANTIGUA STREET AND BROUGHAM STREET PROPOSED INTERSECTION CHANGES
General Manager responsible: General Manager City Environment Group, DDI 941-8608 Officer responsible: Unit Manager Transport and Greenspace Manager Author: Philippa Upton - Consultation Leader
PURPOSE OF REPORT
1. The purpose of this report is to gain approval for cycle safety improvements at the Strickland Street/Antigua Street and Brougham Street intersection. The Spreydon/Heathcote Community Board approval was sought for changes to parking restrictions. Approval from the Council is sought for the lane changes shown on the attached plan (Plan TP 325601).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
2. This project forms one of a number of identified cycle network improvements in the city. The Council’s Cycle Strategy 2004 identifies this site as part of the Christchurch cycleway network, No.6 Cashmere to City route.
3. The Cycle Facilities report 2007 highlights cycle safety improvements required at various intersections including Strickland and Antigua Streets, which continue to have high volumes of through cyclists and are part of a well used cycle route into the central city. The current intersection layout at Brougham Street from the northern and southern approaches provides a low level of service for straight through cyclists as many left-turning vehicles intrude into the current cycle facilities.
4. The objectives of the proposal are to improve the level of service for cyclists at this major intersection and clarify the layout for all vehicles. Located in the Spreydon/Heathcote ward, this is a typical cross junction intersection with traffic signals. Strickland Street is an arterial road, Antigua a major collector and Brougham a major arterial/outer ring road. The Antigua reserve is located on the north-eastern corner of the intersection and the Council housing complex, Norman Kirk Court, is located on the south west corner. The No. 120 Burnside bus travels east-west along Brougham Street and northwards along Antigua Street.
5. There are fifteen crashes recorded in the Crash Analysis System (CAS) during the five year period between 2006 and 2011. Of the fifteen crashes, one was a serious crash involving a pedestrian, three were minor injury crashes and eleven were non-injury crashes.
6. Overall there were two crashes involving cyclists and one crash where a car did not give way when turning to a non-turning cyclist, the other crash where a car was occupying the cycle lane to turn left and the cyclist tried to go around the car to get to the limit line but was hit as the lights went green. Both crashes were non-injury crashes.
7. The attached Plan (see attachment 1) for Council approval is proposed following consideration of four options including ‘do nothing.’ This plan meets the project objectives including budget. It also meets the project objectives to: improve safe routes to school, provide a level of service that does not discourage people to cycle, maintain or improve level of service for pedestrians, and where 27 COUNCIL - 24. 4. 2013
possible, maintain the level of service for other road users via reflecting the hierarchy of road users.
8. It includes features to deter motor vehicles from encroaching into the cycle lane, right turn guidance for motorists, cycle stop boxes to improve safety for straight through and turning cyclists, and bus stop upgrades.
9. Key features of the proposed cycle safety improvement plan include:
(i) Wider kerbside cycle lanes on Antigua and Strickland Street approaches to provide space for cyclists to proceed through the intersection on the green signal.
(ii) New four metre long advance cycle stop boxes in front of the shared through and left turn traffic lanes on the Antigua and Strickland Street approaches to allow through cyclists to wait at the front of the queue, where they are visible to drivers.
(iii) Two additional hook turns for right turning cyclists off Antigua and Strickland Streets. There are currently hook turn boxes provided for right turns off Brougham Street.
(iv) The hook turns box on the north-east and south-west corners were trimmed back to align with the kerb line and to be clear of the kerbside cycle lane on Antigua and Strickland Streets. This is to deter cyclists on Antigua and Strickland Streets from using the hook turns boxes as advance cycle stop box.
(v) Detector loops installed in the hook turn boxes for northbound and southbound cyclists, enabling cyclists to call for the signal phasing for Antigua and Strickland Streets during off peak hours.
(vi) A departure cycle lane with no stopping for westbound cyclists.
(vii) Green colour surfacing at the advance cycle stop boxes on the approach and in the departure cycle lanes at the intersection.
(viii) Two right turn bays to guide motorists to where they should wait at the intersection to give way to through motorists.
(ix) Flexi posts are a tool to deter left turning motorists from encroaching into the cycle lane and may be installed at a later date, once the results of the current trial are known.
(x) The existing bus stops on both sides of Antigua Street will be formalised with bus stop marking and no stopping lines to meet Christchurch City Council Bus Stop Guidelines.
(xi) Tactile pavers have not been provided because the cost would be prohibitive, owing to the requirement for new kerb and signal pole relocation on each corner, and this was confirmed by the project sponsor.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
10. The estimated cost of this proposal is approximately $85,000 with a contingency of 20 per cent.
Do the Recommendations of this Report Align with 2009-19 LTCCP budgets?
28 COUNCIL - 24. 4. 2013
11. The proposal is within the budget for $114,099, which comes from the City Environment Group Transport and Greenspace (CETG) infrastructure improvement for cycle ways budget.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
12. The Council has delegated authority from the New Zealand Transport Agency.
The installation of any parking restriction signs and/or markings must comply with the Land Transport Rule: Traffic Control Devices 2004.
Have you considered the legal implications of the issue under consideration?
13. As above.
ALIGNMENT WITH LTCCP AND ACTIVITY MANAGEMENT PLANS
Aligns with the Streets and Transport activities by contributing to the Council’s Community Outcomes Safety and Community.
Do the recommendations of this report support a level of service or project in the 2006-16 LTCCP?
14. As above.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIES
15. The recommendations align with the Council Strategies including the Parking Strategy 2003, Pedestrian Strategy 2001, Road Safety Strategy 2004 and the Safer Christchurch Strategy 2005.
Do the recommendations align with the Council’s strategies?
16. As above.
CONSULTATION FULFILMENT
17. The scheme plan was presented to Spreydon/Heathcote Community Board on 5 February 2013. The Board raised the issue of the existing two hook turn boxes for Brougham Street cyclists turning right being quite close to the Brougham Street through traffic and that cyclists waiting in these could feel quite exposed. They pointed out that cyclists making a hook turn could use the advance stop box on the side streets instead as this is set back from the traffic lane. This point is noted and will be assessed in the post construction safety audit. If there is a concern the hook turn boxes could be discussed with NZTA who manage Brougham Street.
18. NZTA was consulted and has approved the consultation plan.
19. Community consultation on the project team’s preferred option was undertaken from 13 to 27 February 2013. Information leaflets were delivered to 160 properties in the area and posted to absentee property owners and stakeholders including residents’ groups and Spokes Canterbury.
20. Four responses were received from the community. All approved of the changes with some comments and suggestions including wider application of the methods proposed for improvements at the intersection. The response to a concern raised for the Royal Foundation for the Blind about cyclists encroaching into the pedestrian crossing space is that if the layout is used correctly, this should not 29 COUNCIL - 24. 4. 2013
happen and if it does cyclists will be moving slowly. It is acknowledged that education is needed on how to use this layout and a programme is planned for this. The Canterbury/West Coast Automobile Association (AA) supports the changes.
21. Concerns were raised about cycle safety at other intersections such as Milton/Strickland and Antigua/Moorhouse in the area with requests for similar treatment. One respondent suggested a separated cycle lane continuing down Strickland and Antigua and a shared cycle/footpath along Brougham Street. These requests were outside the scope of the project but the project team response was as follows; the Council is about to adopt a major cycle ways plan including this route and various options including separation of motor vehicles will be considered. This plan is expected to include the use of flexi posts at strategic locations.
22. The following changes are proposed as a result of internal and community consultation feedback:
(a) The existing bus stop on the east side of Antigua Street is to be marked up as per layout in the Christchurch City Council Bus Stop Guidelines (Feb 2009). An additional five metres of no stopping lines are required to accommodate the eight metre entry taper at the end of the bus stop and to allow the bus to stop parallel to, and as close to the kerb as possible
(b) The existing hook turn box on the north-east and south-west corners was trimmed back to align with the kerb line and to be clear of the kerbside cycle lane on Antigua and Strickland Street.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
That the Council approve the lane changes shown on the attached plan (Plan TP 325601) be approved.
Note the Spreydon/Heathcote Community Board will consider this report at its meeting on 19 April 2013 and decide whether to make a number of decisions regarding parking under delegated authority.

1. FACILITIES REBUILD PLAN MONTHLY STATUS UPDATE
General Manager responsible: General Manager Community Services, DDI 941 8534 Officer responsible: Facilities Rebuild Portfolio Manager Author: Darren Moses – Facilities Rebuild Portfolio Manager
PURPOSE OF REPORT
1. To provide a monthly update to the Council on the Facilities Rebuild Programme (FRP) and associated TOP 30 priority projects.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
2. This report provides a monthly programme update on some key FRP activities for the month mid February to mid March 2013.
3. The Council position is that all buildings in the programme will be repaired or reinstated wherever possible. Council reporting needs to be considered in the sensitive context of finalising our insurance position and associated insurance negotiation implications.
4. It is worth noting that in addition to the Top 30 projects, work is still actively progressing on the rest of the prioritised programme (as approved by the Council in December 2012). A second work package (WP2) has been initiated by the FRP project team with projects selected from the prioritised Tranche 1. In some cases projects have been added to the list based on reactive needs from the community or key stakeholders. Ongoing activities include finalising Detailed Engineering Evaluation (DEE) assessments, building closure (where deemed necessary), detailed damage assessments, insurance liaison to maximise our insurance entitlement position and in some cases detailed design to allow for simple rapid repairs to allow undamaged buildings to reopen. In order to meet a self imposed five year work programme, additional projects will continue to be added to this process from the prioritised programme tranches. Those projects selected for WP 2 can be found in Attachment 1.
5. A full status update on those projects prioritised into the Top 30, can be found in Attachment 2.

6. The DEE assessment commercial (non-housing) programme is currently indicating completion by April. The Social Housing DEE programme is also underway and is running concurrently with the Commercial and Heritage Programme. 32 COUNCIL 24. 4. 2013 Community, Recreation And Culture Committee 2. 4. 2013 - 2 -

a. Will not get a DEE: Building is already demolished or simple structure not requiring a DEE b. Yet to Start : Preparation stage for commissioning and preparing documents and obtaining order of cost from Engineers. c. In Progress : With the Engineering Firm for assessment, on site undertaking investigation. d. Received Dee as Draft: CCC has received the likely highest level of the Dee from the Engineer for internal review and the report is finalised with Engineers and the Finalised report returned to the CCC for GM sign off. e. Completed : GM sign off and available for public via the Web.
8. Attachment 3 provides further information on building specific DEE assessments and New Building Standard (NBS) results.
9. Once a DEE assessment has been completed and the per cent of NBS and occupancy decision made, damage assessments begin and repair options are investigated by engineers and Council staff. This establishes the extent of damage, the work required to restore the building to its previous pre-earthquake state and an estimate of cost to do so. This information can then be assessed against our insurance entitlement to make informed decisions as to the best strategic approach, i.e. repair or rebuild. This is then reported to the Council for approval in line with existing delegations.

10. The progress of the entire programme is expected to accelerate over the coming months due to the procurement of a new panel of damage assessment specialists. This will increase the speed at which the Council can provide its position to the loss adjusters.
CLOSURES
11. Since the previous Council report, and in line with the Council delegation, the following buildings have had to close due to DEE reports being received which indicate per cent of NBS less than 34 per cent:
Biddick Courts (12 units from 16) 19 per cent NBS.
12. Staff are still investigating repair options for closed buildings and a timeframe for re-opening is currently being determined.
HERITAGE PROGRAMME
13. This month work has been started on the repairs to the Jubilee (Victoria Street) Clock Tower with a completion date expected to be in August 2013. Edmonds Clock Tower repairs are well underway and expected to be completed next month.
14. As part of the TOP 30 prioritisation of Akaroa Museum, the temporary opening of the associated Akaroa Court House is now underway with seven piles needing to be repaired, to bring the NBS above 34 per cent. Investigations continue into the temporary opening of the foyer of the Akaroa Museum which involves the reconstruction of the wall between the Foyer and Gallery One. Permanent repairs to the remaining building are still being developed. Langlois-Etevenaux Cottage is now again open to the public to view (through the rear windows), thanks to some temporary works to isolate the potential ‘fall zone’ from the Museum Gallery One wall.
15. Grubb Cottage has been established to have an NBS above 34 per cent, and is expected to be reopened shortly.
16. Phase 1 stabilisation works for the Provincial Chambers continue and are expected to be complete by June 2013.
17. Both Avebury House and Linwood Community Centre are expected to have the repair works completed by the end of April, with opening of these facilities to follow shortly after.
HOUSING PROGRAMME
18. A full and comprehensive report on Social Housing can be found in Attachment 4.
COMMERCIAL PROGRAMME
19. The Community Facilities programme contains approximately 80 Council assets which are broken down into priority work packages. Work is ongoing on the facilities in work package one (Top 30) with an emphasis on completing damage assessments, strengthening reports and submitting insurance claims. Damage assessments for Bishopdale Community Centre and Fendalton Community Centre are expected in March and it is hoped that Fendalton can be re-opened in due course, pending an acceptable insurance claim.
20. Council officers are working on a collaborative arrangement to manage the repairs and strengthening work to Duvauchelle community hall. The building is currently closed and has failed its DEE assessment on age and design, rather than earthquake damage. The building services a large catchment and is one of the most well used halls on the peninsula. A re-opening date has yet to be confirmed. 34 COUNCIL 24. 4. 2013 Community, Recreation And Culture Committee 2. 4. 2013 - 4 -
1 Cont’d
21. Many community centres on Banks Peninsula have failed DEE assessments through design (typically older buildings) rather than on earthquake damage. Staff have been working with the Building Consents Team to determine requirements for fixing these buildings. A workshop to discuss this in more detail has been held with the Community, Recreation and Culture Committee (CRaC) on 15 March 2013.
22. Contractors have completed repairs and strengthening work to the Botanic Gardens Art Gallery Toilets (located behind Canterbury museum). The seismic capacity of the building has been increased to greater than 67 per cent NBS and the facilities remain open to the general public.
23. Repairs to the Lyttelton recreation ground pavilion are being quantified - following the building work, staff expect to be able to re-open the pavilion in May.
24. The supporting strategies for community facilities are taken into account when assessing buildings. The vision is being reviewed and updated to reflect the loss of buildings post-earthquakes and changes to demographics. Co-locating buildings and services to create hubs is one option being looked at. Work is currently being undertaken to finalise a draft investigation into Hub options at Linwood and Sumner. A workshop to explore these options will be sought with the CRaC Committee in the very near future.
25. Repairs to Jellie Park Plantroom are being investigated. A report to the Council is expected as soon as work has been agreed with our insurers.
TRANSITIONAL FACILITIES
26. The Council previously approved the demolition of South New Brighton community centre. Staff are working on a transitional project to create a temporary community facility by re-locating the QEII pre-school to the old site of the South New Brighton community centre.
27. The team is investigating future use options for the Tuam St crèche building. Once the options are collected, including costs, a report will come to the Council.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
28. Housing units with major damage over the $100,000 cap will qualify for a legitimate insurance claim with Civic Assurance.
29. The building assessment work required to inform the Facilities Rebuild Plan is initially funded by the Council. However, where a building’s structure is damaged and a legitimate successful insurance claim is processed, the Council will recoup these costs from insurance as a legitimate policy entitlement.
30. Therefore insurers will only pay for costs associated with the strengthening to the legal requirement of 33 per cent or the pre-earthquake strength of the building (whichever is the higher). In addition insurers will not pay costs associated with strengthening to undamaged portions of buildings. Where buildings have no damage, the full cost to bring a building up to code will be a cost to the Council. This is the case with most of the buildings on Banks Peninsula. The Council’s Earthquake Prone Building Policy requires buildings to be strengthened to a target of 67 per cent NBS.

2. PROPOSED DEMOLITION OF AN IMPLEMENT SHED LOCATED IN SOUTH HAGLEY PARK
General Manager responsible: General Manager Community Services, DDI 941-8607 Officer responsible: Project Manager Author: Lucy Brown – Project Manager
PURPOSE OF REPORT
1. The purpose of this report is to seek a Council decision for the demolition of a Council-owned implement shed located in South Hagley Park (location map Attachment 1).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
2. The building is a single storey, unreinforced, concrete masonry shed with a light-weight, corrugated iron roof (refer to figure 1). The building sits on a concrete slab on the ground. The garage is approximately 14 metres long, six metres deep and three metres high. The shed is an important staff facility used to house equipment needed for staff to maintain South Hagley Park.
3. As a result of the recent earthquakes and aftershocks the front wall of the building has sustained a crack, approximately five millimetres thick, at the end of the concrete lintel. Failure of the front wall would cause collapse of the roof and walls along the front of the building. Following a level five quantitative assessment the building has been calculated to have a New Building Standard (NBS) value of 14 per cent and is therefore deemed significantly compromised and requiring strengthening before it can be re-inhabited.
4. This building is not insured. Council officers propose to demolish and re-build with a kit-set garage style building. This is because the large cost involved with engaging engineers to assess the earthquake damage and to design an appropriate strengthening option to repair the building is expected to be greater than the cost to rebuild.
5. The Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (CERA) was asked to obtain three demolition quotes to carry out the demolition work and removal and disposal of materials from site. The most competitive of the three quotes received was submitted by Scope Demolition with a tender price of $6,500. As a part of Scope Demolition’s contract they will be required to meet CERA’s demolition standards.
6. Two quotes have been obtained to replace the implement shed on its current site to the same footprint. The most competitive quote was submitted by Totalspan Steel Buildings with an estimate of $43,173 plus GST including electrical and drain laying. 37 COUNCIL 24. 4. 2013 Community, Recreation And Culture Committee 2. 4. 2013 - 7 -

7. Council agreement is sought for the demolition of the implement shed.
Figure 1 – Implement shed, South Hagley Park
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
8. The cost of the demolition and replacement shed is to come from the Sports Park Buildings renewal and replacement budget as this asset is uninsured (estimated at $53,925).
9. To summarise from above, the quotation for demolition and site clearance is $6,500 plus GST with the cost to rebuild at $47,425 plus GST.
Do the Recommendations of this Report Align with 2009-19 LTCCP budgets?
10. As the recommendations are a consequence of the earthquake events, this issue is not addressed in the LTCCP.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
11. The building has no heritage value. A building consent will be required.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
That the Council:
(a) Approve the proposed process for the review of the International Relations Policy.

BACKGROUND (THE ISSUES)
Policy Framework
15. The International Relations Policy (the Policy) adopted by the Council in December 2005 set out a framework for Christchurch city to develop the scope of its international relations work. The Policy aims to both consolidate and strengthen sister city relationships and to pursue a wider range of international links which would enable the city to seize opportunities for economic development, learn from international best practice and increase cultural understanding.
16. The Council’s international relations work allows for five different types of sister city relationships: Strategic Partnership, Sister City Relationship, Friendship Relationship, Best Practice Relationship and Special Relationship. These aim to provide a framework for new opportunities, particularly those that could provide economic and cultural benefit for Christchurch.
Review of the Policy
17. The review of the Policy was to take place in 2009, but did not take place due to prioritisation of the Council’s workload, the 2010-11 earthquakes, and the subsequent response and recovery efforts. The Council has since called for the review to take place during 2012-13, with the following resolutions being passed at its 23 August 2012 meeting:
(a) That no amendments are made to the International Relations Policy as it notes there is an overdue need for a full review in conjunction with the Sister Cities Strategy and policies.
(b) That the Council establish a working party to review the International Relations Policy and Sister Cities Strategy/policies and report back with in six months.
18. Therefore the overall goal is to review the International Relations Policy, including the implementation of the associated Sister Cities Strategy, so as to provide future direction for the Council’s international relationships.
19. Subject to confirmation by the Committee, the proposed scope of the review is to:
examine the categorisation of international relationships and their relevance identify what the appropriate focus and direction of relationships should be, i.e. consideration of cultural, educational and economic elements explore how the life course of relationships should be managed, including the best means to initiate and end them in the interests of developing other relationships that may offer greater benefits determine the best ways in which the Policy can contribute to the Christchurch Economic Development Strategy’s goals and themes 41 COUNCIL 24. 4. 2013 Community, Recreation And Culture Committee 2. 4. 2013 - 11 -
3 Cont’d
determine effective elected member roles and responsibilities in relation to the Policy and the Sister Cities Strategy the level of funding for Sister City committees and reporting to the Council identify ways to communicate and recognise the implementation of the Sister Cities Strategy, including its benefits.
Review Process
20. It is envisaged that the review will examine the relevant policies and strategies of other local authorities, including those of Auckland, Wellington, Tauranga and Dunedin. Consultation will likely be needed with the Sister Cities Committees, the Canterbury Development Corporation, the Christchurch and Canterbury Tourism, the Chamber of Commerce, and the tertiary sector. Budget has been set aside for a consultant to be employed to undertake much of the work in conjunction with Council staff.
21. In order to complete the substance of the review during the 2012/2013 year, the following timetable is proposed.

Attachment 4 - Social Housing Programme Status Update
Date: 13 March 2013
1. Social Housing Portfolio Status The Social Housing Programme’s total portfolio of 2649 units was impacted with the announcement of the Residential Red Zone which designated 113 units (located in 5 housing complexes) to be closed.
As at 13 March 2013, 2196 units are open.
Closed units total 340 subject to repair under the Facilities Rebuild Programme and consist of the following:
271 units closed due to varying degrees of structural damage and design weakness, which includes 138 units closed due to failing a DEE assessment; and 69 units closed due to health & safety.
Subsequent to the last February 2013 report, an additional unit has been vacated and closed due to major damage at Fred Price Courts.
The notice of motion on Council Social Housing occupancy requirements passed at the 28 February 2013 Council Meeting has resulted in the lifting of 90 day closure notices (following engineering review) at the following units:
Avonheath Courts - remaining 7 units to remain open until long term viability of complex is established Knightsbridge Lane - 17 units (full complex) to remain open with repair and strengthening options currently being evaluated
The 340 closed units do not include the remaining 7 units at Louisson Courts to be closed (vacated by 2 May 2013 under 90 day notice) due to failing their DEE assessment.
Refer to Appendix 1 for details of the individual closed units.
1.1. Housing Wait List Status As at 28 February 2013, there are 348 applicants on our waiting list consisting of 288 single applicants, 38 couples and 22 families. Twelve of these applications have been assessed as having urgent, immediate need.
2. Social Housing Programme Repair/Reinstatement Strategy The strategy adopted to restore the housing service levels consists of undertaking both closed unit repairs and new build intensification projects.
The housing repair strategy is to focus primarily on repairing and reinstating individual closed units to maximise housing stock and to minimise the numbers on the wait list, particularly those with urgent, immediate needs.

Housing Repair Process The purpose of the social housing repair/reinstatement process (as shown in figure 1) is to assess each housing block of units within the complex as a whole and reach an agreed position with all parties (i.e. CCC/EQC/Insurer) before initiating repairs following Council approval.
[Figure 1] : Housing Repair Process
The first process stage is the Detailed Engineering Evaluation (DEE) process which provides engineering information into the damage assessment process and subsequent funding options process resulting in a statement of position. However, the primary driver behind the DEE process is the health and safety of the housing tenants with the approved prioritised approach to assess the most damaged occupied complexes first prior to those with lower levels of damage (refer Appendix 2 for Social Housing – Asset Repair Programme Summary). Whilst this approach has resulted in the damage assessment of complexes containing a high proportion of closed units, the severity of damage identified has been significant.
This has required substantial additional geotechnical and structural investigations with associated programme timing implications to determine the economic viability of repair or replacement at a housing complex level.
2.1.1. Detailed Engineering Evaluation (DEE) Status The Social Housing Detailed Engineering Evaluation (DEE) process consists of 662 assessments. Since commencing in June 2012, 243 DEE’s are being processed. This is made up of 145 DEE’s completed and 98 DEE’s underway as shown in figure 2. The DEE process is currently forecast to be complete by April 2014.
The DEE assessment process has been refined but the rate is limited by the availability of the specialised engineering resource in the marketplace.
Council staff are seeking to accelerate the remaining social housing DEE and damage assessments by combining the two processes on the remaining 65% of the housing portfolio. The remaining complexes typically consist of both simpler and
Page 2 of 8 ATTACHMENT 4 TO CLAUSE 1 COMMUNITY, RECREATION AND CULTURE COMMITTEE 2. 4. 2013 79
substantially similar housing designs in comparison to the initial 35% of the portfolio with their complicated and unique one-off designs. This will be achieved by selecting either a single supplier or two suppliers from the existing panel to provide a value solution due to economies of scale.

In addition, Council staff have sought to quantify an emerging risk associated with the DEE process which is the future closure of complexes failing the DEE assessment based on the original building design and not due to earthquake damage. Council staff are now proactively seeking strengthening mitigations (where deemed cost effective) on a complex by complex basis in advance of the DEE process to avoid complex closures where possible.
2.1.2. Damage Assessment (DA) Status The repair strategy to repair closed units first is driving the application of the damage assessment process. The DEE service provider for each individual complex is being used to assist with the costing of structural damage repairs in conjunction with cosmetic damage and common services assessments performed by City Care (under the existing Facilities Maintenance Contract).
In parallel, an accelerated joint damage assessment process with EQC is being trialled on four initial housing complexes containing significant structural damage (i.e. $100k overcap units) with EQC settlement anticipated to be concluded in March 2013.
The four housing complexes are as follows:
Avonheath Courts (10 closed units out of 17 units total) Brougham Village (83 closed units out of 89 units total) Concord Place (8 closed units out of 52 units total) Louisson Courts (6 closed units out of 13 units total)
Settlement with the Insurer will then occur followed by a Council decision on the economic viability of repair versus replacement. By this stage, DEEs on the lesser damaged complexes will start being finalised with associated damage assessments followed by initiation of repairs.

2.1.3. Social Housing Repairs Status The repair strategy is primarily focussed on repairing and reinstating individual closed units to maximise housing stock. An initial portfolio review identified only six units with minimal structural damage and these “best of the worst” closed units were repaired and reopened prior to the end of January 2013.
The remaining closed units contain varying levels of structural damage and the project team has now commenced the repair process on the following complexes (forming part of Work Package 1):
Airedale Courts (71 units closed out of 115 units total) Knightsbridge Lane (17 units to be closed out of 17 units total) Lyn Christie Place (2 units closed out of 30 units total) Thurso Street (2 units closed out of 4 units total) Whakahoa Village (5 units closed out of 20 units total)
Refer to figure 3 which summarises the Social Housing Asset Renewal and Repair Programme status as at 13 March 2013.
The initial unit repairs lessons learnt is that it is not practical or efficient to target individual closed unit repairs but instead to adopt a repair strategy for the whole complex (i.e. fix and forget). On this basis, the currently open unit repairs associated with the above complexes will follow immediately after closed unit repairs are complete.
The Project team has committed to completing the repairs of 70 closed units by 21 December 2013.
2.1.3.1. Low Value Repairs Programme Current EQC assessments of damage indicate that there are 167 units with no damage which are currently being verified by Council staff. In addition, 109 units have been repaired and redecorated immediately after they have been vacated due to natural tenancy turnover. Currently, there are a total of 1920 open units yet to undergo earthquake repairs and it is estimated that 1781 of these units will require low value cosmetic repairs (i.e. those with minimal structural damage).
Council staff have implemented a secondary work stream consisting of a low value repairs programme on the remaining open units to minimise and/or avoid Council exposure to the escalating labour and material costs subsequent to the EQC damage assessments. This programme of work will commence initially on the complexes that have passed their DEEs assessments (i.e. %NBS ≥ 34%) and will not dilute the primary focus on repairing and reopening closed units.
This programme of work is committed to repairing 102 open units by 21 December 2013 and is also targeting the repairs of a further 100 open units, which is the subject of a Report to Council on 28 March 2013.

2.2. Housing Intensification Projects Due to the scale and severity of the damage associated with the majority of closed units, an alternative strategy to aid in the restoration of service level is the intensification of existing sites with the construction of additional units.
Six existing housing complexes have been identified as potential intensification sites and DEEs have been initiated on these complexes to provide early identification of potential ground condition issues. Preliminary concept designs have also been prepared for all six sites.
A subsequent prioritisation assessment of the six sites has identified three “infill” type projects, which are as follows:
Maurice Carter Courts (Dundee Place) – 12 Units Knightsbridge Lane – 10 Units Andrews Crescent (number of new units under assessment)
A Council report has been prepared for the Maurice Carter Courts & Knightsbridge Lane Intensification Projects for CRAC Committee Review and Council Approval at the 28 March 2013 meeting. Subject to Council approval, it is anticipated that these two projects will be completed by the end of the 2013 calendar year.
Council have a total of 113 units on residential Red Zoned land with a combined CV of $15.47M and are awaiting a formal response from CERA regarding a purchase offer which will be used to fund the future intensification projects.
In addition, partnership options are also being actively investigated. A Council report looking at acceleration options for the Social Housing programme includes information on the Expression of Interest (EOI) process to select potential public/private partnerships to investigate housing development options utilising council land. It is anticipated that the partnership EOI will go to the market on 18 March 2013.

International Relations Policy
Principles
1. Christchurch City’s international relationships will contribute to achieving the City’s Community Outcomes and the Council’s Strategic Directions. Particular emphasis will be given to the following Outcomes:
A Prosperous City - International investment, best practice, and technology and long term educational opportunity can be leveraged through well founded, formalised relationships. A City of Inclusive and Diverse Communities - Our international connections will bring cultural performing groups to the city, generate opportunity to learn about cultures, share cultural experiences and assist local people to understand the diverse needs of the various groups both visiting and living in our community. A City of Lifelong Learning - Internationalisation will bring opportunity for best practice learning and international education exchange.
2. The City will pursue a range of relationships to ensure opportunities are maximised. Five different types of relationships have been identified that allow for different outcomes, management processes, resource commitments, and review processes and help clarify expectations.
3. Any relationships Christchurch enters into will be well researched to ensure there is:
A fit with the Community Outcomes, Council’s Strategic Directions, CREDS (Canterbury Regional Economic Development Strategy) and Prosperous Christchurch, and other Council policies and strategies A fit with Government foreign and economic development policy Easy access in both a geographical and political sense Equal commitment from both parties to agreed objectives A business plan with measurable objectives
4. Christchurch will be proactive in prospecting for new relationships, as well as responding to approaches. Existing protocols and international connections should be used to leverage new and extended opportunities for Christchurch. (Examples include the Colombo Plan and the Mayors for Peace Network.)
5. Relationships will only be entered into if they are sustainable over the agreed period. Resource commitment is crucial to ensuring sustainability.
6. Review periods will be incorporated into all new relationships, with an opportunity to exit the relationship should it no longer meet its objectives.
7. Appropriate management processes for international relationships will be established. Existing sister city relationships will continue to be managed by the Sister City Committees, with project seed funding provided through annual Council grants. Some cultural and social relationships, such as Mayors for Peace activity and relationships, will be managed by the Council, in close association with the appropriate community associations. Economically focussed relationships will be managed jointly by Christchurch City Council and the Canterbury Development Corporation, in collaboration with private and public organisations. Economic opportunities identified within existing Sister City relationships should be advised to the Canterbury Development Corporation.
Links
1. The International Relations Policy Statement links to the following Strategic Directions of the Council:
89 Community, Recreation and Culture Committee 2. 4. 2013
Prosperous Economy
Goal 1: Develop business and other links to promote economic development that is consistent with the needs of Christchurch’s people and environment, by
(i) strengthening international civic relationships to provide positive business links (ii) taking part in national economic initiatives (iii) helping businesses in key industries to work together to become more internationally competitive
Strong Communities
Goal 7: Celebrate and promote Christchurch’s identity, cultures and diversity, by
(i) providing and supporting a range of arts, festivals and events (ii) supporting cultural groups and organisations
2. The International Relations Policy Statement links to the following Community Outcomes:
(i) a Prosperous City (ii) a City of Lifelong Learning (iii) a City of Inclusive and Diverse Communities
3. The International Relations Policy Statement links to the Canterbury Regional Economic Development Strategy (CREDS) which outlines city, regional, national and international partnerships. Two high level goals identified within CREDS are:
To develop and maintain an enterprise culture that promotes investment, growth and innovation To become increasingly globally competitive and connected into world markets
4. The International Relations Policy Statement links to the New Zealand Government’s 2002 Growth and Innovation Framework which signals a continuing focus on increasing global connectedness as a central driver of economic growth.
5. The International Relations Policy Statement links to Immigration New Zealand’s initiative focussing on bringing skilled expatriates back to New Zealand. The key focus of the initiative is:
To link with the existing range of government and private sector organisations, such as “Kiwi Expatriates Abroad” (KEA) to provide direct links to internationally based networks to profile opportunities for expatriates in New Zealand.
Types of Relationships
Five types of relationships will be entered into, allowing for a range of objectives, management and review processes, and resource commitments.
Type of Description of Activity Relationship Formal City-to-City Relationships Strategic partnerships may operate external to the Council but must fit with the Community Outcomes and Strategic Directions. It is likely a strategic partnership will contain a Strategic preponderance of proposed activity dedicated to commerce, education and access to markets Partnership and capital and only a small amount of activity in the arts, culture, sport and community awareness/support areas. Example: Christchurch – Wuhan relationship. Sister City relationships will be developed with cities where there are diverse linkages in the areas of culture, education, and business. These relationships will be long term and have the Sister City support and commitment of the community. Formalised by Council agreement, they will be Relationship managed locally by a community committee, and supported by Council resource at both ends of the relationship. Examples: Seattle, Songpa, Gansu, Adelaide and Kurashiki. 90 Community, Recreation and Culture Committee 2. 4. 2013
These relationships will have limited activity, in the areas of education, arts, culture, and sport Friendship and community awareness/support. A Friendship City relationship could be reclassified should City activity increase. Friendship City status can be either a starting point for a new relationship or a Relationship ‘parking point’ for a non-active existing relationship. Informal City-to-City Relationships Best practice relationships will be resourced and managed by the Council. They will incorporate partners from the community, where appropriate. These relationships will be project based and Best Practice will usually be medium term. Best practice relationships may exist between cities that are Relationship otherwise not connected in any way. Example: Brisbane City, which offers infrastructural development expertise. Special relationships will provide the opportunity for linkages between communities with a Special special interest area or activity. These relationships will exist under the auspices of the Council Relationship but could be delegated to outside organisations or associations if this is deemed appropriate. Examples: aid relationships, Mayors for Peace relationships and project-specific relationships.
The names of the above relationships are New Zealand terminology. Some countries use different terminology to explain the significance of a relationship. For example, in China a Sister City relationship receives the highest level of support. In England a Twin City relationship is the equivalent of a New Zealand Sister City relationship.
Policy Review
The Christchurch City Council International Relations Policy Statement will be reviewed on or before January 2009.
Christchurch City Council December 2005 91 Community, Recreation and Culture Committee 2. 4. 2013
Strategy for Sister Cities
Vision Christchurch will continually enhance the quality of life of its citizens and understanding of diverse cultures from around the world through proactive (citizen) Sister City relationships.
Objectives The following objectives for Sister Cities will assist committees meet this vision:
To promote relationships between the people of Christchurch and the people of its Sister Cities. To continue to increase international understanding and opportunities for wider reaching relationships through the promotion of our Sister Cities in Christchurch. To involve a range of community groups including (but not limited to) schools and other focus interest groups, and where appropriate local business under the auspices of key business facilitators. To promote Christchurch as a city welcoming tourism and visitation and international economic development.
Implementation Each Sister City Committee will include in its membership a minimum of one and a maximum of two elected members. Each Sister City Committee will review its membership annually. Each Sister City Committee will receive a minimum annual grant of $3,000 to enable them to manage their relationships. Sister City Committees will provide an annual plan and programme of activities with budget allocations defined, within the annual plan process of Council each year. Additional funding, in the form of grants, will be considered based on the annual plan. An annual report using a standard format is provided to Council at the end of each financial year. A longer-term review of each relationship will be carried out every three years commencing 2003. International Relations Co-ordinators will oversee and service the committees and Council will provide free of charge a venue for each Sister City Committee meeting.
Scope for the future The consideration of new Sister City relationships should be made on the basis of near equal distribution of resource, personal interest and economic development opportunity into the areas of:
Education/arts/culture/sport - 35 per cent Commerce/investment of capital - 35 per cent Personal fulfilment, community awareness/support - 30 per cent.
Existing relationships will be assessed against criteria for new relationships but, given the inconsistency in rationale for their selection, they must also be assessed in relation to the objectives for Sister Cities agreed by the Council.
Sister City relationships can develop from, or be re-classified to become:
Friendship cities Special relationships Strategic partnerships.
Future location of Sister Cities and alternative types of relationships should be considered in line with Central Government and regional initiatives in relation to international trade, immigration and education exchange. Consideration to ease of access to any future Sister City, and the volunteer support base in the community must also be given.
All future relationships must contain short and long-term review clauses and a mutually agreeable sunset clause.

HERITAGE ASSESSMENT – STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE NEW REGENT STREET SHOPS - NEW REGENT STREET
PHOTOS: NEW REGENT STREET – C2010
The New Regent Street shops are listed as a Group 2 Protected Heritage Place in the Christchurch City Plan, and are registered as a Category I Historic Place by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust Pouhere Taonga.
HISTORICAL AND SOCIAL SIGNIFICANCE
New Regent Street has social and historical significance as it was the forerunner of the present day shopping mall. At the time of its construction the concept of an entire street made up of small speciality shops was novel for New Zealand. The building work took place between 1930-32 and was one of the few large scale building projects undertaken in the South Island during the Depression. New Regent Street occupies the site of the old Colosseum, a building designed by Thomas Cane in the 1880s and demolished in 1930. On 1 April 1932 New Regent Street was opened by the Mayor of Christchurch, Mr D.G. Sullivan. Of the 40 shops offered for lease, only three were let owing to the economic depression of the time. To encourage occupancy, New Regent Street Ltd. decided to lease the remainder free of charge until businesses became established, and then at a nominal rent of five shillings a week.
ARCHITECTURAL AND AESTHETIC SIGNIFICANCE
New Regent Street has architectural and aesthetic significance because of the architect Henry Francis Willis (1892-1972) and the actual design of the Street. The 40 shops on individual titles were designed in the Spanish Mission Revival style by Henry Francis Willis in 1930. Willis also designed the State Picture Theatre (1934-5), Santa Barbara on Victoria Street and the Repertory Theatre (formerly Radiant Hall, 1929); the latter being similar in style to New Regent Street’s terraces. The contractors were P. Graham and Sons Ltd, who had previously built Christchurch Boys’ High School and the Majestic theatre.
The windows and ornamentation of the first floor establishes the Spanish Mission character and unique appearance of New Regent Street, and there are three upper storey variations. The first contains three round headed/arched windows with profiles recalling classical Palladian style, supported by small columns with spiral motif, above which sits an oval medallion. These facades have an awning extending above the windows and supported by 94 ATTACHMENT 1 TO CLAUSE 6 COMMUNITY, RECREATION AND CULTURE COMMITTEE 2. 4. 2013 decorative wrought iron brackets. Originally these awnings were covered with Spanish style Cordova roof tiles; they were later removed leaving just the concrete slabs.
Alternating on either side of these properties are two similar styled facades, both with Spanish Mission style parapets of similar elevation and the shaped gables commonly found on Spanish Mission style buildings. The first of these has centrally placed double casement windows with a window box beneath, the Palladian window motif as before, and circular medallions set within the gable. In the second the central window is replaced by French doors leading onto a small balcony and the gable is decorated with a pair of heraldic shields. The central windows of both are surmounted by projecting arched mouldings over semi-circular fan light windows with panes arranged in a sunburst form. Additional ornamentation separates each facade with decorative art deco chevrons and Spanish Mission style barley twist columns.
Originally the large display windows facing the street were surrounded by decorative coloured floral tiles, many of which still remain. Wide plate glass windows beneath the verandah light each shop, and entry is through a glazed door set back from the street beside the entrance to the adjoining shop. This continuous suspended verandah runs the length of the terraces and extends around into Gloucester Street. In 1968 the buildings were repainted in Adam Gold, Etruscan Red and Slate Blue; the existing colour scheme dates from 1994.
TECHNOLOGICAL AND CRAFTSMANSHIP SIGNIFICANCE
The New Regent Street shops have technological and craftsmanship significance due to their design and method of construction. The shops are structurally based on an exposed concrete frame with infill panels of cavity brick, the facades of which have been plastered and painted; extensive steelwork is also used along the entire length of the Street. Weep holes at the base of the cavity were designed to allow water soaking down from the parapets to drain. All underground services were through the rights-of-ways behind the shops. Ventilation, interior lighting and floodlighting were an acclaimed feature of the street at the time of its opening.
CONTEXTUAL SIGNIFICANCE
New Regent Street is contextually significant because of its streetscape value including the uniformity of design, form, colour and scale of all 40 shops. New Regent Street continued to evolve; after World War Two it became a public road, and in 1986 it was made a one-way street. In 1994 the street became a pedestrian mall and the tram line was installed. At this time the cobblestone paving, wrought iron railings, planter beds and period lighting we see in the streetscape of today were introduced.
ARCHAEOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE
New Regent Street as a post-1900 site has a degree of archaeological significance because of the potential to provide archaeological evidence relating to past building construction methods and materials, and human activity on this site. It is also known that it was the location of the old Colosseum prior to 1900.

PART A - MATTERS REQUIRING A COUNCIL DECISION
1. LOCAL ALCOHOL POLICY – FORMATIVE POLICY
General Manager responsible: General Manager Strategy and Planning DDI 941-8281 Officer responsible: Strategic Policy Unit Manager Authors: Alan Bywater, Unit Manager Strategic Policy Adair Bruorton, Senior Policy Analyst, Ruth Littlewood, Senior Policy Analyst
PURPOSE OF REPORT
1. To continue to seek Council approval of the development of a draft Local Alcohol Policy (LAP) and to provide further information to help inform the development of the LAP to enable it to go for consultation.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
2. At its 14 February 2013 meeting the Council committed to developing a provisional LAP before the end of this term of Council so that this can be publicly notified early in 2014.
3. To achieve this deadline the Planning Committee will need to recommend a proposed LAP to the Council at its 30 May 2013 meeting. The Special Consultative procedure will need to take place in June/July with hearings in August. The provisional LAP will need to be approved by the Council at the end of August.
4. On 26 March 2013 a Council workshop was held to begin the shaping of the LAP. The main elements of the LAP were discussed, i.e. licensing hours, the location and density of both on and off licensed premises and other conditions such as one way door restrictions.
5. To progress the development of the LAP further, staff have attempted to use the output of the discussion at the Council workshop on 26 March to draft a formative LAP (refer to Attachment 1 of the 3 April 2013 Planning Committee agenda) as a basis for further discussions and refinement with the Planning Committee at this meeting.
6. For previous workshops held with the Planning Committee staff have provided a range of material to inform the thinking and discussion. This material has included: results of a survey carried out amongst Christchurch residents on alcohol-related issues, a summary of the relevant evidence around the effectiveness of the measures within the scope of the LAP on alcohol related harm, a summary of the feedback from stakeholder workshops and a summary of feedback from initial workshops with the community boards.
96 COUNCIL 24. 4. 2013 Planning Committee 3. 4. 2013 - 2 - 1 Cont’d
7. The following information is provided to further inform the Planning Committee’s thinking about the LAP:
A summary of the results of a second round of workshops with community boards, summary of results from a survey of young people carried out through Facebook, a summary of Comments from South Island Tertiary Settings Forum and a summary of comments from a meeting of the Christchurch Hospital clinicians (Attachment 2) A summary of feedback from a He Oranga Pounamu hui with Maori health providers (Attachment 3) Minutes of a consultation meeting with those stakeholders with whom the Council is legislatively required to consult as part of developing a draft LAP (i.e. the Police, Medical Officer of Health and inspectors) (Attachment 4).
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
8. The resourcing of the policy development work to develop the draft LAP is provided for in the City and Community Long-Term Planning Activity.
Do the Recommendations of this Report Align with 2009-19 LTCCP budgets?
9. As above.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
10. Under section 78(1) of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012, if a territorial authority wishes to have a LAP, it must produce a draft policy. Section 79 then provides that if after producing a draft policy under section 78, a territorial authority continues to wish to have a LAP, it must produce a provisional policy by using the SCP to consult on the draft policy.
11. Section 77(1) of the Act sets out what policies a LAP may contain. It may include policies on any or all of the following matters relating to licensing (and no others):
(a) location of licensed premises by reference to broad areas:
(b) location of licensed premises by reference to proximity to premises of a particular kind or kinds:
(c) location of licensed premises by reference to proximity to facilities of a particular kind or kinds:
(d) whether further licences (or licences of a particular kind or kinds) should be issued for premises in the district concerned, or any stated part of the district:
(e) maximum trading hours:
(f) the issue of licences, or licences of a particular kind or kinds, subject to discretionary conditions:
(g) one-way door restrictions.
12. The LAP must not include policies on any matter not relating to licensing.
13. Section 77(2) states that paragraphs (a) to (d) do not apply to special licences, or premises for which a special licence is held or has been applied for.
14. Section 78(2) of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 also states that when producing a draft policy, a territorial authority must have regard to: 97 COUNCIL 24. 4. 2013 Planning Committee 3. 4. 2013 - 3 - 1 Cont’d
(a) the objectives and policies of its district plan; and
(b) the number of licences of each kind held for premises in its district, and the location and opening hours of each of the premises; and
(c) any areas in which bylaws prohibiting alcohol in public places are in force; and
(d) the demography of the district's residents; and
(e) the demography of people who visit the district as tourists or holidaymakers; and
(f) the overall health indicators of the district's residents; and
(g) the nature and severity of the alcohol-related problems arising in the district.
Have you considered the legal implications of the issue under consideration?
15. As above.
ALIGNMENT WITH LTCCP AND ACTIVITY MANAGEMENT PLANS
16. The development of the LAP is consistent with following performance standard and level of service in the City and Community Long-Term Planning Activity Management Plan:
Performance Standard: Advice is provided on key issues that affect the social, cultural, environmental and economic wellbeing of the City
Levels of Service:
Council approves a work programme by 30 June for the following financial year At least 85 per cent of milestones agreed for each year are achieved.
The Local Alcohol Policy was approved as a piece of work on the City and Community Long-Term Policy and Planning work programme for the 2013/13 year.
Do the recommendations of this report support a level of service or project in the 2009-19 LTCCP?
17. The recommendations are focused on the continued development of the LAP and are consistent with the levels of service noted above in paragraph eight.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIES
18. The development of the LAP is consistent with the Safer Christchurch Strategy.
Do the recommendations align with the Council’s strategies?
19. As above.
CONSULTATION FULFILMENT
20. The views of a range of interested parties have been sought and shared with the Planning Committee previously. Attached to this report (refer Attachment 5) is further information from a survey of young people, summary of views from a second round of workshops with community boards and views from a hui with Maori health providers. There is also a summary of views from a meeting with the Police, Medical Officer of Health and inspectors, with whom the Council is required to consult as part of developing a draft policy (Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012, section 78 (4)). 98 COUNCIL 24. 4. 2013 Planning Committee 3. 4. 2013 - 4 - 1 Cont’d
21. Once the Council has developed a proposed LAP it is required to carry out a Special Consultative Procedure to formally seek the views of the wider community on its proposed LAP.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Council consider the formative Local Alcohol Policy (revised Attachment 1) and provide direction on the content of the policy to staff to enable the development of a proposed Local Alcohol Policy for consideration by the Committee (and subsequently the Council) in May 2013.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the revised preliminary policy (revised Attachment 1) be presented to the Council at the 24 April 2013 meeting.
Note: The Planning Committee met briefly after the Council meeting on 11 April 2013 to receive further information on how best to take the views of the Community Boards into account during the development of the Local Alcohol Policy in the suburbs.
CHAIRPERSON RECOMMENDATIONS
1. That the Council confirm its position on the maximum opening hours for supermarket off- licenses as 7 AM to 9 PM.
2. That the Council determine whether Victoria Street be treated as part of the Central Area A (i.e. with maximum on-licence hours of 8 AM to 3 AM with a one-way door restriction from 1 AM) or to treat it as part of the Central Area B (i.e. with maximum on-licence hours of 8 AM to 1 AM with a one-way door restriction being a discretionary condition).
3. It is recommended that the revised preliminary policy (revised Attachment 1) be presented to the Council at the 24 April 2013 meeting.
2. GREENFIELDS RESIDENTIAL LAND AVAILABILITY UPDATE
General Manager responsible: General Manager Strategy and Planning, DDI 941-8281 Officer responsible: City Planning Unit Manager Author: Mark Stevenson, Senior Planner
PURPOSE OF REPORT
1. The purpose of this report is to update the Council on the availability of greenfield residential land in the Christchurch City area.
BACKGROUND
2. At its meeting on the 28 June 2012, the Council resolved that the Greenfields Land Availability schedule, reported to it at that meeting, be updated quarterly and placed on a Council Agenda. This reflects the two goals of the Built Environment Recovery Programme in the Recovery Strategy of zoning sufficient land for recovery needs, and coordinating and prioritising infrastructure investment during recovery. The Council also resolved that the information in the tables attached to the original report, which included infrastructure availability, be added to the Council Land Availability webpage.
3. Attached to this report is a schedule (Attachment 1) updating the status of Greenfield land and infrastructure availability in Christchurch, as at 12 March 2013.
99 COUNCIL 24. 4. 2013 Planning Committee 3. 4. 2013 - 5 - 2 Cont’d
4. The schedule identifies the status of plan changes for rezoning land in greenfield areas, the number of sections approved in each greenfield area, the potential number of sections across the balance of each greenfield area, and the availability of infrastructure to serve each area.
SUMMARY OF CHANGES
Proposed Change 1 greenfield areas
5. The following table provides a summary of the potential sections and those consented in greenfield areas identified in Proposed Change 1 to the Regional Policy Statement including the changes since the last report in October 2012.
Indicator Current Previous Change Potential Sections in PC1 greenfield areas 20502 20502 = No change Potential Sections within operative Living zones in PC1 greenfield areas 8802 8802 = No change
Sections Consented in PC1 greenfield areas 1338 1203 135 sections Percentage of potential sections zoned Living in PC1 greenfield areas with 1.5% subdivision consent 15.2% 13.7%
6. In summary, there are 20,502 potential sections in greenfield areas, of which 8,802 have been rezoned for housing. Of the 11,700 potential sections yet to be rezoned for housing, there are 2,400 sections subject to two private plan changes being;
Highfield Park, north of QEII Drive and west of Mills Road/ Hills Road (Plan Change 67). The hearing of submissions formally closed on 25th January and it is anticipated that recommendations from commissioners will be received by the Council in the near future. This area should provide around 2100 sections. Highsted, between Cavendish Road and Gardiners Road, south of Styx Mill Road (Plan Change 72). The plan change was lodged with the Council in late December 2012 and encompasses approximately 35 hectares. Over 300 sections are proposed, ranging in size from 150 square metres to 1000 square metres, although this will need to be in accordance with the Outline Development Plan being promulgated through Plan Change 71.
7. There is also interest in the rezoning of a part of the Sparks Road Greenfield area (approximately 50 per cent) through proposed plan change 69. This is similar to Upper Styx for the reason that the private plan change will need to be in accordance with the Council led Outline Development Plan through plan change 68.
Other developments
8. In addition to greenfield areas identified in Proposed Change 1, there is land with subdivision consent and/or with further potential for development in existing urban areas and greenfield areas rezoned prior to the earthquakes. This includes areas such as Aidanfield and Masham that have been under development for a number of years that have potential sections remaining. The following table presents a summary of the potential sections and those consented in areas outside PC1 greenfield areas that contribute towards the supply of housing across Christchurch.
100 COUNCIL 24. 4. 2013 Planning Committee 3. 4. 2013 - 6 - 2 Cont’d
9. Note that this only includes large greenfield areas rezoned prior to the earthquakes that have potential to accommodate more than 100 sections, and development sites in existing urban areas zoned for housing that can accommodate 5 or more sections.
Current Previous Change Potential sections in development areas 2280 1,982 outside PC1 greenfield areas 298 sections Sections consented in development areas 1868 1,570 outside PC1 greenfield areas 298 sections
10. There remain a number of issues amongst different development parties that are presently holding back development of one area, Masham, which requires access through adjoining land. Otherwise, there are no infrastructure limitations on development in these areas.
11. Data on building consents issued for new dwellings shows that infill development or intensification in existing urban areas (excluding greenfield development) is contributing to an increase in the housing stock. For the period June 2012 to February 2013, there have been consents granted for 244 dwellings. This compares with 386 and 303 dwellings in 2011 and 2012 respectively in existing developed areas and remains below the historic average annual net increase. This reflects continued uncertainty with EQC and Insurance processes, land classification and personal priorities for landowners.
INFRASTRUCTURE
12. The programme for infrastructure delivery remains challenging. Key projects have been identified for inclusion in the Council's draft 2013/22 LTP where the priorities include the provision of basic water supply, waste water and stormwater services. The Styx Catchment Management Plan was lodged with ECan in October 2012 which provides a blueprint for stormwater management in the Styx Catchment and follows the adoption of the South West Catchment Management Plan earlier in 2012. The completion of wastewater Pump Station and Rising Main 105, expected in July this year, remains a key piece of Council infrastructure that will provide for a significant increase in the potential number of sections serviced with infrastructure in the south west of the city.
13. The following table summarises the potential number of sections in greenfield areas with infrastructure constraints. As infrastructure becomes available, this figure will continue to reduce.
Current Previous Change Potential Sections with infrastructure constraints in PC1 greenfield areas 16,448 16,464 16 sections
WEBPAGE
14. The upgraded interactive webpage identifying current and future subdivisions, including infrastructure availability, is live and available for public use. The site can be viewed at http://www.ccc.govt.nz/thecouncil/policiesreportsstrategies/landavailability/index.aspx.

3. PROPOSED PLAN CHANGE 56 – BUSINESS 1, 2, AND 2P ZONES – URBAN DESIGN AND AMENITY IN SUBURBAN CENTRES
General Manager responsible: General Manager Strategy and Planning, DDI 941-8281 Officer responsible: City Planning Unit Manager Author: Caroline Rachlin, Senior Planner
PURPOSE OF REPORT
1. This report outlines the purpose and content of proposed Plan Change 56 (PC56). It covers the urban design and amenity issues of concern in suburban centres (B1, B2, and B2P zones) and the range of options to address them. A Council decision is sought on whether or not to proceed in notifying the proposed plan change. The recommendation is for the Council to notify the proposed Plan Change.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
2. Within the last ten years, much of the new commercial development in the B1, B2, and B2P Zones has been of a less than satisfactory standard in terms of the quality of the urban design and amenity (according to both public and professional opinion). The purpose of PC56 is to facilitate higher standards of urban design, appearance and amenity in these zones.
3. The full details of the proposed changes are provided in Attachment 1 (refer to the Planning Committee 3 April 2013 agenda). Key changes include:
Changes to the Business and Transport policies - the majority of which relate to the explanation and reasons sections of these policies. A new urban design policy - which provides a set of clear and directive urban design principles. Changes to the B1, B2 and B2P rules and their associated assessment matters, e.g. an amendment to Rule 3.4.4 (Building development and redevelopment) to require a qualitative urban design assessment for most new development. Change to transportation rules, e.g. additional cycle parking requirements, and a new assessment requirement for commercial car parking buildings and lots. New definitions (for architectural articulation, architectural modulation, active frontage and publicly accessible space).
4. The Business 1, 2, and 2P zones comprise the suburban centres (local and district centres) throughout Christchurch City. The geographical scope of this plan change altered as result of the earthquakes. The scope initially scope included the Central City Business Zones and the Business 2 Zones. Following the February 2011 earthquake the B1 Zones were added and the Central City Business Zones were removed (thereafter addressed under the Christchurch Central Recovery Plan).
5. Consultation has been undertaken with affected parties (including landowners) and the community, key stakeholders, and statutory consultees. The Planning Committee and Community Boards have been consulted at various stages of the development of PC56. The following summarises the key consultation stages:
102 COUNCIL 24. 4. 2013 Planning Committee 3. 4. 2013 - 8 - 3 Cont’d
2008 Issues and Options consultation (including presentations to Community Boards) Councillor Seminar
2011 Issues and Options consultation (following re-scoping of PC56)
2012 May and July - Planning Committee workshops August o Joint Community Board Seminar o Workshop with key stakeholders and property owners September o Planning Committee workshop – focus on draft plan change provisions o Council’s Urban Design Panel consulted on draft plan change provisions o Statutory consultees consulted on draft plan change provisions (including consultation with Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu (via Mahaanui Kurataiao Ltd (MKT)).
2013 February – Consultation with Community Boards on draft plan change provisions.
Note: Consultation with Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu (via MKT) was carried out throughout the development of PC56. As referred above, this included consultation in respect of the draft plan change.
6. The feedback received from the issues and options consultation and workshops (with landowners, stakeholders and the community) confirmed that achieving good urban design and amenity outcomes in new developments is important to the community, and that there a need for tighter regulatory controls over new developments.
7. Support for the purpose, re-scoping, overall approach of the plan change was provided by the Council’s Planning Committee during the 2012 workshops. The Committee considered a draft version of the plan change at the September workshop. The Committee supported the overall approach and provided some recommendations on matters of detail. Statutory consultee feedback on the draft plan change was also generally supportive with some amendments recommended and incorporated where appropriate. No significant changes have been made to the overall approach of PC56 between the consultation on the draft plan change and the document which is presented at Attachment 1. Changes have, however, been made have been to strengthen, improve and refine the plan change, rather than to introduce significant changes or additions. These changes have been made having regard to the legal review of the PC56 and the Section assessment (2013).
8. As referred above, Community Boards have also been consulted during the development of PC56 (including in February 2013 – with the Boards being generally supportive of the general approach and specific provisions). Written feedback from the Boards is provided at Attachment 3.
9. The technical analysis component of PC56 has involved investigating the urban design issues and reviewing the potential economic costs and benefits of PC56. An example of this analysis is the development build cost comparison (i.e. status quo versus proposed urban design requirements under PC56), over three individual projects to re build in the subject zones.
10. In developing PC56 regard has been given to planning practice throughout the country as well as the Council’s own City Plan - which in recent years has been amended to incorporate more, and to strengthen existing urban design provision. This was demonstrated, for example in 2012 under through Operative Plan Change 53 for the Living 3 and 4 Zones, and the Christchurch Central Recovery Plan. 103 COUNCIL 24. 4. 2013 Planning Committee 3. 4. 2013 - 9 - 3 Cont’d
11. PC56 has been informed by statutory documents and non-statutory strategies and plans (such Suburban Centres master plans). Of particular relevance to PC56 are: The Regional Policy Statement, especially proposed Change 1 to the Regional Policy Statement, The Urban Development Strategy, The Christchurch Central Recovery Plan, The Recovery Strategy for Greater Christchurch, and the Mahaanui Iwi Management Plan 2013.
12. The Council’s Suburban Centres programme has progressed in parallel to the development of PC56. The feedback received during the master plans consultation has re-iterated the need for a sound set of regulatory controls to help to facilitate good urban design outcomes, and which can contribute to the successful re-building of suburban centres. This has resulted in a number of the master plans including specific actions for plan changes and urban design guidance. PC56 will be an important tool for implementing aspects of the Suburban Centres programme (i.e. overall improved urban design development outcomes). Together with the provision of pre- application advice from Council officers and the advice of the Urban Design Panel (which provides advice at pre-application and application phase) PC56 would be complementary to these existing practices and would help contribute to promoting and achieving good urban design outcomes in suburban centres. However, any more detailed or specific provisions sought under specific suburban centre master plans (i.e. to give effect to any centre specific requirements such as height of buildings), would need to be progressed through centre specific controls under a separate planning process.
13. Officers consider that PC56 will assist in achieving improved urban and amenity design outcomes while still enabling development anticipated to occur in these zones, and supporting the vibrancy and vitality of suburban centres. The proposed Plan Change provisions have been drafted with recognition of current planning practice and an understanding of the issues pertinent to suburban centres. The Plan Change provisions have been tailored accordingly. The changes are considered to be a more effective and efficient means of achieving the City Plan’s objectives than the current Plan’s provisions. The recommendation is for the Council to notify the proposed plan change.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
14. Should the Council resolve to proceed with notifying the plan change there are legal processes to follow in accordance with the First Schedule of the Resource Management Act (RMA) 1991. This is a standard process that all plan changes must follow. There are no particular issues or risks that would be incurred if the processes are correctly followed. At various stages of the plan change process costs will arise relating to following the First Schedule, such as preparation of officer reports and a hearing in response to submissions. The scale of costs depends on the level and complexity of submissions received, and there is the potential for costs associated with responding to any Environment Court appeals. Funding will be provided from existing budgets as part of the City planning work programme agreed by Council.
Do the Recommendations of this Report Align with 2009-19 LTCCP budgets?
15. The recommendations and costs incurred align with the City Planning budget and work programme as provided for under the 2009-2019 LTCCP budget.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
16. Proceeding in accordance with the legal process required under the First Schedule of the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA 91) should create no particular risks.
Have you considered the legal implications of the issue under consideration?
17. As referred in paragraph 12 above, should the Council resolve to proceed with notifying the Plan Change there are legal processes to follow in accordance with the First Schedule of the Resource Management Act. This is a standard process that all plan changes must follow. The
104 COUNCIL 24. 4. 2013 Planning Committee 3. 4. 2013 - 10 - 3 Cont’d
process is familiar to this Council, through both the private plan change process and in respect of Council initiated plan changes. The proposed Plan Change and Section 32 assessment has been subject to legal review. The review feedback has been incorporated as necessary.
ALIGNMENT WITH LTCCP AND ACTIVITY MANAGEMENT PLANS
18. The process of council initiated plan changes is provided for under the LTCCP and Activity Management Plans. The proposed plan change is identified as a project within the Council’s City Planning Work Programme
Do the recommendations of this report support a level of service or project in the 2009-19 LTCCP?
19. The LTCCP identifies an ongoing programme of maintaining and reviewing City Plan improvements in respect of enhancements to ensure an attractive built environment and to minimise adverse effects on the environment. The proposed plan change is identified as a project within the Council’s work programme
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIES
20. The Plan Change aligns with the Greater Christchurch Urban Development Strategy (UDS) and Proposed Change 1 to Regional Policy Statement (RPS). It also aligns with the National Urban Design Protocol 2005. The proposed Plan Change has been developed so that it supports, and is not inconsistent with the aims and goals of the Recovery Strategy for Greater Christchurch Mahere Haumanutanga of Waitaha. Moreover, it is not inconsistent with the Mahaanui Iwi Management Plan.
Do the recommendations align with the Council’s strategies?
21. The Plan Change aligns with relevant Council strategies, particularly the UDS in respect of improving the quality of urban design in new development.
CONSULTATION FULFILMENT
22. Clause 3 of the First Schedule of the RMA requires Council when preparing a change to the District Plan, to consult with a number of parties. In addition, the Council may indentify any other persons, and consult with that person(s).
23. In 2008 an Issues and Options paper was consulted on by a wide range of representatives from the community, including landowners, retail operators, residents associations, iwi, and community groups. The geographical scope of the Plan Change at that time covered the Central City Business Zones and Business 2 Zones outside of the Central Business District. The Plan Change was re-scoped in 2011 as a result of the Canterbury Earthquakes to exclude the Central City Business Zones, and to include the Business 1 Zones.
24. Consultation was again undertaken in 2011 to compare and contrast feedback received in 2009 and to also include any new stakeholders (i.e. any new landowners in Business 2 Zone and all landowners in the Business 1 Zones). A more detailed discussion of the 2009 and 2011 consultation reports are contained in the consultation documents which are appended to the Section 32 Report (Attachment 2, refer to the Planning Committee 3 April 2013 agenda).
25. Council Officers directly consulted with statutory consultees and other key stakeholders and interested parties (as per Schedule 1 of the RMA). This included, in 2012 providing the proposed changes to the City Plan for feedback to the following: the Ministry for the Environment (MfE), the New Zealand Historic Places Trust (NZHPT), the Regional Council (Environment Canterbury/ECan), Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu (via Mahaanui Kurataiao Ltd), the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA), and the Selwyn and Waimakariri District Councils.
105 COUNCIL 24. 4. 2013 Planning Committee 3. 4. 2013 - 11 - 3 Cont’d
26. Feedback was received from MfE, NZHPT, ECan and NZTA and where appropriate changes recommended were incorporated. The feedback was generally supportive with some amendments recommended. Meetings were also held between planning officers at Christchurch, Selwyn and Waimakariri District Councils during 2012, as Councils were progressing similar urban design plan changes for their respective business zones. The rules packages for both Selwyn and Waimakariri Councils’ have been considered as part of the development of PC56, to ensure a consistency in approach to the urban design qualities of business environments within the greater Christchurch area. The Selwyn and Waimakariri plan changes are now operative.
27. The Council’s Urban Design Panel was consulted directly on PC56 and where appropriate changed recommended were incorporated. In addition, consultation was held with key stakeholders such as, the Property Council (South Island Branch) and property owners (and/or their representatives) in the form of a workshop presentation. Feedback from these groups has also been incorporated where appropriate.
28. In 2012, during the development of PC56, three workshops were held with the Council’s Planning Sub Committee. The Committee was supportive of the general purpose and scope of PC56. A briefing to Community Boards was provided at the Joint Community Board meeting on 23 August 2012. In January 2013 Community Boards were then provided a copy of the draft plan change text change document (i.e. changes proposed to the City Plan). An opportunity to hold a briefing with Council officers was provided to discuss the plan change and Boards were invited to provide written feedback. The feedback received was generally very supportive (refer Attachment 3 for the details of the written feedback).
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Council:
(a) Adopt the proposed Plan Change 56 and assessment under Section 32 of the Resource Management Act; and
(b) Proceed to publicly notify proposed Plan Change 56 to the City Plan pursuant to the provisions of the First Schedule of the Resource Management Act.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
That the Staff Recommendation be adopted.
BACKGROUND
INTRODUCTION
29. This following discussion provides background and context to Plan Change 56, the purpose and content, research and analysis which has informed the development of PC56, and the specific Plan Change provisions. The proposed Plan Change text at Attachment 1 contains the detailed changes recommended. The Section 32 report (Attachment 2) provides discussion about the issues and proposed changes, and the supporting rationale for the proposal. This is a requirement under the First Schedule of the RMA. It also covers an evaluation of the costs and benefits of the proposed plan change. In addition to the consultation carried out (as outlined above and expanded below) research has been undertaken and technical (expert) reports prepared. This analysis and reporting forms part of the Section 32 assessment. 106 COUNCIL 24. 4. 2013 Planning Committee 3. 4. 2013 - 12 - 3 Cont’d
LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS 1, 2, AND 2P ZONES
30. The B1, B2, and B2P Zones comprise the suburban centres throughout the City. The B1 and B2 zones are defined in the City Plan respectively as Local Centre/District Centre Fringe Zone and District Centre Core Zone. These centres range in size, scale and function with the B1 Zones providing a more local or neighbourhood function with small scale shops and activities. Some of the B1 Zones adjoin the fringes of the B2 Zones. The B2 Zones provide a focal point for business activity (within a suburban context) and, accordingly, they are of a larger size, scale and commercial emphasis than the B1 Zones. The B2P Zones are the District Centre – Parking Zones. These are specialist zones applicable to a limited number of suburban centres (Linwood, Merivale, Shirley, New Brighton, Fendlaton, Wairakei, Barrington and St Martins). Their purpose is to secure car parking immediately adjacent to the B2 suburban centres, and to act as a buffer between the B2 commercial development and adjoining residential areas. A map showing a location of the zones is attached at Appendix 1 to the Section 32 report.
31. It is noted that many of the newly zoned Living G Zones (which includes new greenfield residential development), incorporate the provision for local town/commercial centres as part of their future development. The location of these new ‘commercial centres’ are shown on their respective Outline Development Plans (ODPs). Many of these new centres are not specifically zoned B1 or B2, however, to varying degrees they do cross-reference to the existing B1 or B2 Zone rules. Nonetheless, in most cases the Living G zone rules contain rules which require new development within the new ‘commercial centres’ to be subject to an assessment regarding design and amenity.
SCOPE OF THE PLAN CHANGE
32. The scope of PC56 is focused on improving the layout, quality and amenity of development, specifically in regard to the Plan provisions relating to matters of site context, urban design and amenity, and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED). It seeks to support new development and redevelopment within suburban centres, and to further strengthen existing provisions to promote good urban design principles. It does not however, seek in any way to consider the location or extent of the zones which relate to, and define suburban centres. As such, PC56 has not examined amendments to zone boundaries or any of the following standards within the B1, 2 and 2P Zones (and these matters are considered to be beyond the scope of this plan change):
Special provisions relating to specific locations; Height; Site density requirements (i.e. plot ratio); Tree and landscaping requirements; Separation from neighbours requirement (i.e. setbacks from living zones); Sunlight and outlook requirements (i.e. recession planes); Standards within the Central City B1 Zones; and Car parking number requirements for activities. 107 COUNCIL 24. 4. 2013 Planning Committee 3. 4. 2013 - 13 - 3 Cont’d
33. The Transport Technical Report (Appendix 7 to the Section 32 Report) discusses the options investigated for the review of car parking numbers required for activities in B1, 2 and 2P Zones. It was concluded that a review of the car parking numbers for activities was not appropriate to incorporate within PC56, as the transport standards in the City Plan apply to all activities city- wide. Any changes to the car parking numbers in the City Plan would require significant research that is beyond the scope of an ‘urban design’ focused plan change, and given the current uncertainty of transport movements around the City. It is appropriate. however, that a review of car parking standards be undertaken either through a specific plan change or during the upcoming District Plan Review. In the meantime, PC56 does support a modification of the transport objectives and policies to encourage greater consideration of the effects of parking on the design and layout of sites, which may include a reduction in car parking numbers (on a case by case basis) provide an to improvement in urban design outcomes.
34. The plan change is focused on the B1, 2 and 2P Zones in the Christchurch City Plan. It has not considered the Banks Peninsula District Plan and the plan provisions for business centres within the Banks Peninsula area.
CONSULTATION
35. Consultation was carried out in respect to an Issues and Options paper in 2008 focused on the Central City Business Zones and Business 2 Zones. It included consultation with a range of representatives from the community including, landowners, retail operators, residents associations, iwi and community groups. A more detailed discussion of this consultation is contained in the Consultation Report (2009), attached as an appendix to the Section 32 Report. As referred above, the Plan Change was re-scoped in 2011 to exclude the Central City Business Zones, and to include Business 1 Zones. Therefore, consultation was undertaken in 2011 to compare and contrast feedback received with the earlier consultation and to also include any new stakeholders (i.e. any new landowners in Business 2 Zone and all landowners in Business 1). A more detailed discussion of the Consultation Report (2009), and Consultation report (2012) is attached as appendices to the Section 32 Report.
36. Council Officers directly consulted with statutory consultees and other key stakeholders and interested parties (as per Clause 3, Schedule 1 of the RMA). This included providing the proposed changes to the City Plan for feedback to the following; the Ministry for the Environment (MfE), New Zealand Historic Places Trust (NZHPT), the Regional Council (Environment Canterbury/ECan), Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu (via Mahaanui Kurataiao Ltd), the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA), and the Selwyn and Waimakariri District Councils.
37. Feedback was received from MfE, NZHPT, ECan and NZTA, with some changes recommended on detailed components of the Plan Change. The feedback was generally supportive and where appropriate changes incorporated. Meetings were also held between planning officers at Christchurch, Selwyn and Waimakariri District Councils during 2012, as Councils were progressing similar urban design plan changes for their respective business zones. The rules packages for both Selwyn and Waimakariri Councils’ have been considered as part of the development of PC56, to ensure a consistency in approach to the urban design of business environments within the greater Christchurch area. The Selwyn and Waimakariri plan changes are now operative.
38. Consultation with Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu (via Mahaanui Kurataiao Ltd) has been undertaken during the development of PC56. This includes in the form of issues and options consultation and more recently a copy of the draft plan change provisions was provided to MKT (September 2012) for comment. However, no response was received on the proposed plan change provisions. The Council is required to take account of The Maahanui Iwi Management Plan (February 2013) in making changes to District Plans. To the extent that this planning document has a bearing on the resource management issues addressed by PC56, it is considered that PC56 is not inconsistent with the Iwi Management Plan. Moreover, it is not necessary to make any changes to the proposed plan change. 108 COUNCIL 24. 4. 2013 Planning Committee 3. 4. 2013 - 14 - 3 Cont’d
39. Ngāi Tahu (via MKT) have been advised (March 2013) of the expected reporting of PC56 to the Council’s Planning Committee, and have been invited to comment or to seek clarification on any aspect of the plan change. In addition, there will be an opportunity for Ngāi Tahu to submit on PC56, if Ngāi Tahu considers there is any inconsistency between the Iwi Management Plan and the proposed Plan Change and to request changes accordingly.
40. The Council’s Urban Design Panel was consulted directly on PC56 and where appropriate changed recommended were incorporated. In addition, consultation was held with key stakeholders such as, the Property Council (South Island Branch) and property owners (and/or their representatives) in the form of a workshop presentation. Feedback from these groups has also been incorporated where appropriate.
41. In 2012, three workshops were held with the Council’s Planning Sub Committee. These workshops were held on the 15 May 2012, 4 July 2012, and 6 September 2012. The Committee was supportive of the overall purpose and scope of PC56. At the 6 September 2012 workshop, Officers directly reported on the draft proposed Plan Change (i.e. the specific text changes to the City Plan). Support for the overall direction of the changes was given by the Committee, together with some recommendations made on matters of specific detail.
42. During the development of PC56 a briefing to Community Boards was provided at the Joint Community Board meeting on 23 August 2012. In January 2013 Community Boards were provided a copy of the draft plan change text change document (i.e. changes proposed to the City Plan). An opportunity to hold a briefing with Council officers was provided to discuss the plan change and Boards were invited to provide written feedback. The feedback received was generally very supportive (refer Attachment 3 for the details of the written feedback (refer to the Planning Committee 3 April agenda)).
43. Consultation and research has also been undertaken to ascertain the nature and extent of urban design issues for recovery and rebuild purposes, as part of the Suburban Centre Recovery programme. This work has engaged many landowners, business owners and residents within and near to suburban centres. Council officers have drawn on the learnings from these processes about issues, the range of measures (including alternatives) to help improve urban design and amenity outcomes, whilst being cognisant of the need to work with land owners and the community to encourage and facilitate re-building in a pro-active and timely manner and without imposing unnecessary or overly onerous costs and time pressures. The feedback received during the consultation on the Master Plans has re-iterated the need for a sound set of regulatory controls to help to facilitate good urban design outcomes, and which can contribute to the successful re-building of suburban centres. This has resulted in a number of the master plans including specific actions for plan changes and urban design guidance.
POLICY CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVES
44. The proceeding paragraphs highlight the more significant policy context for the development of the proposed Plan Change. An increased awareness and requirement for good urban design is found in a number of statutory documents, strategies, protocols and policies. The more significant of these include: The Greater Christchurch Urban Development Strategy (UDS) Proposed Change 1 (Change 1) to the Regional Policy Statement (RPS) National Urban Design Protocol (2005) The Mahaanui Iwi Management Plan 2013.
45. The Greater Christchurch Urban Development Strategy (UDS) is a broad scale, long-term land use strategy. It guides the future development of Greater Christchurch. Achieving higher standards of urban design is embraced within the UDS. An example of this is under Section 3.6 which states that ‘good urban design is an essential element of implementing this Strategy’. 109 COUNCIL 24. 4. 2013 Planning Committee 3. 4. 2013 - 15 - 3 Cont’d
46. Proposed Change 1 (Change 1) to the Regional Policy Statement is an implementation method prescribed under the UDS. Change 1 has been publicly notified (July 2007); a decision made (December 2009), and currently is subject to appeals before the Environment Court. A range of policies and methods in Change 1 are very relevant to this proposal. An example relates to improving design quality under ‘Policy 7 – Development Form and Design’. Further discussion on the relevant policies is contained with the Section 32 report (Attachment 2) together with discussion on the relative weighting of Change 1 (of relevance to PC56).
47. The Council became a signatory to the National Urban Design Protocol in 2005. Reviewing the City Plan (including relating to issues of urban design) and proposing changes is one of a number of steps the Council is taking as a part of its responsibilities under this Protocol. Under another initiative the Council has set up the Urban Design Panel. When considering an application, the Panel,(as also the case for Council Officers), must rely on the quality of the City Plan provisions to promote and facilitate improved urban design outcomes. This is of particular relevance to PPC56 in that whilst there are already some controls for urban design (albeit limited in breadth of geographical scope (zones) and size of development that is assessed for urban design qualities), the Plan provisions relating to the B1, 2 and 2P Zones require updating and amending to reflect good urban design practice.
48. Incorporating provisions into statutory planning documents to help facilitate high quality urban design and amenity outcomes is becoming an increasingly common practice throughout New Zealand, including with the Council’s own Christchurch City District Plan (the City Plan). Examples are demonstrated through the provisions recently introduced under urban growth plan changes as well as through the Living 3 and 4 Zone plan change (Plan Change 53) and the Christchurch Central Recovery Plan.
49. The Mahaanui Iwi Management Plan 2013 was released in February 2013. This needs to be considered in making changes to a district plans given the Council’s obligations to take account of this document pursuant to Section 74 of the RMA. As referred in the earlier sections no direct feedback has been received from Ngāi Tahu on the draft plan change. Relevant planning provisions within the Plan include (amongst others) those relating to Urban and Township Planning and Subdivision and Development (as contained within Section 5.4). In respect of the consultation carried out to date and the provisions of the Iwi Management Plan it is considered that PC56 is not inconsistent with the Plan.
50. Consideration has also been given to the relevance and role of the Recovery Strategy for Greater Christchurch. The Recovery Strategy has statutory effect and is to be read together and forms part of other statutory documents prepared by Christchurch City Council under the Resource Management Act (including the Christchurch City Plan and the RPS), the Local Government Act, the Long Term Plan, and the Annual Plan. Proposed Plan Change 56 has been developed so that it supports, and is not inconsistent with the aims and goals of the Recovery Strategy.
URBAN DESIGN ISSUES, OPTIONS, RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS AND CONSIDERATION OF COSTS AND BENEFITS
Issues and options
51. The original impetus for this plan change was a growing public concern about the quality of building design in the Central City and District centres (B2 Zones). In general terms, these concerns were to do with:
Poor relationship between new buildings and their neighbouring buildings, including heritage buildings; The growing tendency for buildings to turn their back on the street; Interruption to streetscape caused by parking areas; and
110 COUNCIL 24. 4. 2013 Planning Committee 3. 4. 2013 - 16 - 3 Cont’d
A lack of attention being given to the visual effects of new development on adjoining residential areas.
52. Although, urban design issues were already recognised pre-earthquakes (at least for the B2 Zones) the earthquake events reinforced the importance of having good urban design controls in place to guide the significant rebuilding and development which is expected to occur (and has already commenced) both with in the recovering centres, and those centres less severely affected by the earthquakes. The development of the Plan Change has occurred in parallel to the Council progressing a Suburban Centres programme. This programme involves eight master plans currently at various stages of consultation, assessment and adoption/ implementation. The programme is supported by a case centre management service which is available to support landowners and/or business owners with their repair and rebuilding options in the non master plan centres. Furthermore, the Council provides a resource consent pre-application advice service and the advice of the Urban Design Panel. The work undertaken on the Suburban Centres programme, and the advice of the Urban Design Panel (on an early draft of the plan change) has helped to further understand the urban design issues and to inform the proposed changes under PC56.
53. There are a range of factors which contribute to poor quality urban design and when any individual developments fails to achieve good design relative to one or more of these criteria or themes this can exacerbate the adverse effects of poor urban design. This includes (amongst other considerations) adverse effects on visual and residential amenity, accessibility for pedestrians and cyclists, and safety and security. Many of these issues impact on the experiences of those visiting, working in, or residing near to these centres. They relate directly to safety and security, and demonstrate the failure of many developments to incorporate principles of good urban design (including Crime Prevention Through Environment Design).
54. The urban design issues identified can be broadly summarised into the following themes: Urban design, appearance, amenity and layout Connectivity and access Car parking and access Building design and appearance Street interface Relationship to neighbouring buildings and activities.
55. A range of issues which fall under these themes as identified through both the urban design and transport technical assessments, and through consultation include (amongst others):
Buildings which lack architectural detailing and are bland and visually uninteresting. Developments which do not provide an active interface (active frontage) with the street and public spaces. This is often attributed to a prevalence of blank facades and insufficient levels of visually transparent glazing along the street frontage. Site layout and building design which fails to address or front the street and public spaces, i.e. developments that turn their back on the street and public spaces. Building design which has insufficient regard to context, including the form and detailing of adjoining buildings. This results in some developments failing to relate positively to other buildings (i.e. to complement or appear sympathetic to them – not replicate). New developments which do not relate well to, and appear out of character within in their local environment, especially relative to neighbouring residential areas and public spaces. Developments being dominated by large areas of hard surfacing. Developments within poor accessibility and connectivity to and through the sites, especially for pedestrians and cyclists.
56. In developing PC56 (including through the consultation processes) a range of broad (high level) options to address the issues have been considered. These are outlined in the Section 32 report. They include: status quo – no change to the existing provisions of the District Plan; await the Review of the District Plan; use of non-regulatory methods – such as guidelines, 111 COUNCIL 24. 4. 2013 Planning Committee 3. 4. 2013 - 17 - 3 Cont’d
professional advice; and the Proposed Plan Change - of which key features are a strengthening of the policy framework (to introduce new and amended policies), and amended and new rules for urban design (the preferred option).
57. A number of broad options are presented in the Section 32 and it should be recognised that it is feasible to pursue one or more of these options simultaneously. The proposed Plan Change is the preferred option (Option 4) as this will enable improved urban design outcomes, and it is the only option which will respond directly to the identified issues. The approach provides for site specific responses and gives the Council more weight in assessing development proposals. It also provides more direction and guidance to landowners and developers about expected outcomes and will assist at the design and pre-application phases. With the inclusion of a non- notification clause (for the qualitative urban design rule – as discussed further under the ‘Proposed Changes’ section) this provides certainty to developers. There will, however be some additional costs and prescription for developers in the design and application process (the resource consent process). The use of non-regulatory methods should also be undertaken (such as provision of pre-application advice), and as discussed above this is already underway through other mechanisms. This will help to inform the qualitative assessment and increase certainty about desired and acceptable planning outcomes.
58. Under Option 4 (the preferred and proposed option) a strengthened policy framework, (especially the introduction of a specific urban design policy for suburban centres) together with updated qualitative and quantitative rules will provide an improved regulatory basis for facilitating high quality urban design outcomes. The City Plan already contains some provisions for suburban centres which support achieving good urban design outcomes. However, these are limited in terms of the breadth of application of assessment, and are targeted at developments on larger sites only. These changes together with the use of non-regulatory methods (such as provision of pre-application advice and guidelines) will assist in providing greater direction and certainty for all concerned at the various phases of development, including from pre-application phases through to assessment and decision making phases.
59. In developing the specific provisions of PC56 a range of detailed alternatives (options) were also considered, such as variations on the proposed rules, in relation to matters such as what urban design aspects need to be addressed by either quantitative or qualitative rules, and what the threshold needs to be for when a resource consent is required to undertake a qualitative assessment of any development. These variations on Option 4 are also set out in the Section 32 Report.
60. The proposed Plan Change would support the Suburban Centre master planning processes in part (i.e. it would help to ensure there are adequate controls to ensure there are regulatory controls to ensure a high quality of urban design and amenity). However, if centre specific provisions are required to assist in implementing the master plans (e.g. specific controls on height or setback) then this would need to be progressed through a separate process, such a subsequent plan change.
Research and analysis, and consideration of costs and benefits
61. In developing PC56 a considerable amount of research and analysis has been undertaken. The Section 32 report (Attachment 2) provides detail on the work undertaken and the overall approach to the Section 32 evaluation. The work included site surveys and assessments of suburban centre developments, and a review of literature and planning practice. The urban design assessment highlighted many poor quality urban design outcomes within the City’s B1, 2 and 2P Zones, and that there is a need to address these both at the level of principles to guide and direct development (policies), as well as the rules (methods) and assessment matters to support them. A review of case law was also commissioned. This was to ensure an up to date understanding of urban design issues in a resource management context.
112 COUNCIL 24. 4. 2013 Planning Committee 3. 4. 2013 - 18 - 3 Cont’d
62. A transportation assessment focused on matters pertinent to access for pedestrians and cyclists as well as car parking provisions within suburban centres. A range of urban design based issues were identified and options recommended to address them, for instance to provide for enhanced accessibility and safety for all users. The Urban Design and Transport Technical Reports are appended to the Section 32 report (Attachment 2).
63. As part of understanding the potential costs and benefits of PC56, a review of the potential economic costs and benefits of the Plan Change was commissioned (undertaken by Market Economics). In addition a development build cost comparison was commissioned (carried out by Davis Langdon consultancy) in respect of three different development scenarios. This was to compare the potential percentage increase in development build costs between the City Plan (status quo) versus PC56. These reports are also appended to the Section 32 report (Attachment 1).
64. The findings and conclusion from the development build cost comparison work showed that there is a range in percentage increases in development build cost, with the cost differential being higher for smaller sized developments. As set out in Appendix 9 to Attachment 2, the percentage increase in build cost for each of the three scenarios (i.e. the proposed changes in relation to the status quo) were as follows :
“Scenario 1 – Business 1 Site (1 x retail unit) – 9.3% increase Scenario 2 – Business 2 Site 1 (1 x retail unit) – 3.1% increase Scenario 3 – Business 2 Site 2 (3 x GF retail units & 1 x FF office)– 1.3% increase.”
65. The economic report found that there is a range in the nature and scale of economic costs and benefits applicable to individual site owners or developers through to the Council and wider community. However, it clearly sets out that these cost and benefits are not always easily measured (quantified), nor are they always tangible. In addition, it finds that there is a lack of studies which have quantified benefits and costs (including internationally).
66. Whilst there are likely to be some direct ‘build costs’ (as demonstrated under the development build cost comparison work) it is also recognised (in the Market Economics report) that there are likely to be financial and business benefits associated with good urban design practice. It also needs to considered that while there are likely to be some additional costs to comply with the urban design provisions under PC56, there are other benefits and costs of PC56, beyond just economic components. For example, some benefits include: improved urban design outcomes generally, as well as at the detailed level of improved pedestrian environments, and less bland or featureless walls and buildings. In addition, a benefit includes reinforcing the relevance of the Master Plans and the Council’s commitment to the Suburban Centres programme.
67. The Market Economics report finds that there is a ‘possible next step’ to pursue the further quantitative costs and benefits of PC56. The option of further analysis was considered by Officers, but it is not proposed to undertake further quantitative survey or economic analysis at this stage. As outlined above, the Council has carried out considerable technical assessment and consultation on the Plan Change which has informed the assessment of options (including the preferred option at broad and detailed levels). This has included considerable evaluation of costs and benefits (environmental, social, cultural, and economic). In addition, the high level economic evaluation provided by Market Economics, together with the specific costings of scenarios provided, and input on consenting costs from the Council’s resource consents team, has provided adequate indication of possible costs and benefits of the plan change. This may be further informed through the submissions on a notified plan change.
68. The Section 32 assessment provides a detailed evaluation of the full spectrum of costs and benefits (social, environment, cultural and economic). The potential economic costs and benefits are just one aspect of any evaluation (as required under Section 32), and where possible, practicable, and considered necessary these have been quantified. Overall, the benefits of the proposed Plan Change are considered to outweigh the costs. As referred above
113 COUNCIL 24. 4. 2013 Planning Committee 3. 4. 2013 - 19 - 3 Cont’d
a detailed evaluation of the costs and benefits of PC56 are contained within Section 32 report (Attachment 2).
PROPOSED CHANGES
69. With an understanding of the specific urban design issues in suburban centres, a set of urban design principles has been developed. These provide the over-arching direction and guidance for what outcomes are anticipated, and this has guided the development of proposed changes and rules package for PC56. Consideration of alternatives to the specific provisions proposed within the plan change has been an important component of the Section 32 assessment. This has concerned what prescriptive bulk and location standards (such as setback of buildings from the street) would be appropriate to retain or amend, as well aspects of urban design that need a more flexible or qualitative assessment approach. This is to enable site specific opportunities and constraints to inform individual design, rather than perusing a one size fits all approach. Consideration has been given to the threshold (or trigger) for when an urban design assessment is needed and a resource consent required (e.g. for most new developments, medium scale developments, or very large developments only). In addition, whether for some developments supporting information and a summary statement on the context and design approach is necessary.
70. The new and updated provisions at the policy and rule level (as discussed further below) seek to ensure high quality urban design outcomes and suburban centres with respect to:
Site layout and design of buildings - including incorporating articulation and modulation in design so that they are visually interesting and are of a human scale; The relationship of development to the street and the wider surrounding environment - including to adjacent buildings, public spaces and nearby residential areas Design and layout which best meets the public’s needs relative to accessibility, safety and security.
71. The above matters includes the consideration of providing legible and accessible routes to and through developments for pedestrians, cyclists and for those travelling by car, as well as ensuring developments provide for an active interface with the street (active frontages), are softened by landscaping, and are not dominated by prominent and large swathes of car parking. This also includes facilitating developments which contribute the sense of identify and character of suburban centres. The provisions do not alter the density or building footprint of development which can occur (i.e. they do not amend matters such as height or floor space), nor do they alter the zone boundaries or the specific number of car parking spaces that can be provided.
72. Changes are proposed to the policy framework for Suburban Centres, with a set of changes proposed to the Business policies and to the transport policies. The proposed changes to the policies within the Transport section are mainly focused on the explanations and reasons to the policies, although, a change to Policy 7.6.4 does enable discretion to waiver parking requirements where they would result in good urban design outcomes. An amendment is also proposed to the Suburban Centres Objective to emphasise the need to achieve (not simply to improve) a high quality of urban design and amenity in suburban centres.
73. A feature of PC56 is the introduction of an Urban Design and Amenity policy (hereafter referred as the urban design policy) for suburban centres. The policy provides a set of principles to guide the preparation and assessment of development proposals. It is positive and directive, and the principles cover a range of matters from the layout of buildings on a site and their interface (or relationship) with pedestrians and cyclists as well as nearby residential properties, through to the detailed design and proportions of buildings. These principles are not intended to stifle creativity and innovation rather they help to ensure that key aspects (principles) of urban design are incorporated within the layout and built form of suburban centres. They also seek to
114 COUNCIL 24. 4. 2013 Planning Committee 3. 4. 2013 - 20 - 3 Cont’d
ensure that development fits in with, or enhances the attractiveness and amenity of suburban centres.
74. The review of the current rules applicable to development in the subject zones confirmed that there is continued relevance of traditional bulk and location rules. However, in order to achieve better urban design outcomes (and to support the policy framework) these rules need to be coupled with a qualitative urban design assessment and for this assessment (via a rule provision) to be applicable to most new development in these zones. This assessment enables a case by case consideration of particular proposals against a range of urban design assessment matters (on a non-notified basis).
75. An amendment to the building development and development rule (Rule 3.4.4) is proposed and this would mean that most new development is subject to a qualitative urban design assessment (non-notified). The scope of the assessment is also broadened through an increase in the number and breadth of the assessment matters. This will assist in ensuring adequate regard can be given to the range of matters which contribute to achieving the good urban design outcomes as set out above. There would be some exceptions to the rule, such as for very small or narrow sites. This is to avoid the rule being overly onerous. There is also an associated requirement for a Site and Context Analysis and Design Statement for development on larger sites.
76. A range of other changes are proposed including to the Street Scene rule (Rule 3.4.5) which (amongst other matters) prescribes standards - quantitative requirements in respect of achieving an active interface (active frontage) road frontages and public spaces, and the extent of building to required at the street frontage. Changes are also proposed to the B2P rules to extend the urban design qualitative assessment. In addition changes are proposed to the transport rules. This includes vehicle crossing points to incorporate visibility splays (to help improve pedestrian safety) for sites which serve a high number of car parking spaces and additional requirements for cycle parking (e.g. that they are clearly signposted or visible to cyclists entering sites). The plan change also introduces a new assessment requirement for commercial car parking buildings and lots.
CONCLUSION
77. It is recommended that the proposed provisions of PC56 will help to improve the urban design and amenity of suburban centres, will contribute to their vibrancy and vitality, and will assist in minimising adverse effects (such as on the residential amenity of nearby residents).
78. Considerable consultation has been undertaken in developing PC56 (including a number of workshops with the Council’s own Planning Committee in 2012). This has helped to confirm an appropriate approach to address the urban design issues and the specific details of the plan change text changes (Attachment 1). PC56 is at stage where it is ready for public notification and needs to be formally tested in the public domain with the invitation of formal submissions.
79. The Plan Change is not considered to be overly onerous or to place unnecessary impediments on development, particularly in a post earthquake and recovery environment. They amendments and updated provisions do not seek to place restrictions on the intensity of development but place greater control over the detailed location and design or new development.
80. The evaluation of the potential costs and benefits of the proposal shows that there are a range of benefits and costs from PC56 (environmental, social, cultural and economic). This includes that there will be some financial costs incurred. However, in the overall scheme of the preparation of development proposals , consenting and build development costs, and when recognising the benefits (including potential benefits in the longer term to developers and the wider social and environmental benefits for the community) the benefits are considered to outweigh the costs. 115 COUNCIL 24. 4. 2013 Planning Committee 3. 4. 2013 - 21 - 3 Cont’d
81. The Plan Change will be consistent with planning best practice (within Christchurch and throughout New Zealand and overseas). It is consistent with over-arching policy and strategy documents and help to achieve the purpose of the Resource Management Act. The changes are considered to be a more effective and efficient means of achieving the City Plan’s objectives than the current Plan’s provisions. The Plan Change does, however, need to be supported by non-regulatory methods, and this is already taking place. The recommendation is for the Council to notify the Plan Change.
4. PROCESS FOR PREPARING OUTLINE DEVELOPMENT PLANS FOR SOUTH WEST HALSWELL
General Manager responsible: General Manager Strategy and Planning, DDI 941-8281 Officer responsible: City Planning Unit Manager Author: Ivan Thomson, City Planning Team Leader
PURPOSE OF REPORT
1. The purpose of this report is to recommend that the Council leads the preparation of the Outline Development Plan (ODP) for the remaining portion of the residential greenfields areas known as CSW4 (South West Halswell). The ODP is required prior to land being rezoned for urban residential purposes, and there is no provision for the work on the District Plan Work Programme.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
2. In May 2012 the Council resolved to take a more proactive role in coordinating the development of two greenfields areas by leading the preparation of Outline Development Plans (ODPs). This resulted in the preparation of Plan Changes 68 (Sparks Road) and 71 (Upper Styx). The Council resolved to publicly notify Plan Change 71 at its February 28 2013 meeting, while Plan Change 68 is to be reported to Council for notification in June.
3. Over the past year, officers have had informal discussions with several landowners and developers contemplating private plan changes to rezone land for housing in the CSW4 Greenfields Residential area in South West Halswell. The subject land is bounded by Halswell Junction Road, Sabys road, Quaifes Road and Murphys Road. Refer to the location maps in Attachment 1. Part of the CSW4 area, west of Murphys Road, has already been rezoned (through Plan Change 60 – Fulton Hogan) and is currently being subdivided into residential sections. The remaining portion, comprising approximately 85 hectares, is the last remaining large area of greenfields residential land in the South West. The land has fragmented ownership, making an ODP essential to ensure that the location, sequencing and funding of development and supporting network infrastructure are co-ordinated across blocks, particularly where there are multiple landowners involved. Moreover, by including an ODP in the City Plan, likely future private plan changes for part of the residential area can be tailored to fit and deliver the ODP. This is likely to be a more expedient plan change process with potentially less conflict between competing landowners and interests.
4. Policy 8 of PC1 (see Attachment 2) requires development of urban activities, via rezoning, to be in accordance with an ODP and an Area Plan, in this case the South West Area Plan. There is a RPS requirement for ODPs for entire development areas to be inserted into the City Plan before private plan changes for rezoning can be notified, so that a framework for development is in place. This calls for a clear and consistent process for ensuring that ODPs to be inserted into the City Plan are at least notified before plan change proposals for rezoning are submitted or processed for those greenfields areas. While PC1 is not operative, it carries a considerable degree of statutory weight. 116 COUNCIL 24. 4. 2013 Planning Committee 3. 4. 2013 - 22 - 4 Cont’d
5. In preparing the ODP for South West Halswell care will be needed to ensure integration with the adjacent PC 60 land, which is currently being developed (officers understand that the developers (Fulton Hogan) are considering amendments to the ODP for the PC 60 site). There are no infrastructure constraints to subdivision and development, due mainly do the past planning undertaken through the South West Area Plan. Some up-grading and rebuilding of pump stations is required to service the subject area but this work has been programmed for completion this calendar year, with their capacities reserved for planned developments such as this one.
6. Past cases have reinforced the need for Council to drive the preparation of ODPs independently of the plan change request for rezoning for the following reasons:
a) Landowners not part of the plan change request need to be confident that they will be treated fairly through the ODP process. b) The public needs to be clear on the respective roles of the Council and the private sector in assessments and decisions affecting their neighbourhood and City. c) ODPs prepared by the Council will provide more certain outcomes across the growth areas, and will enable the Council to programme Council expenditure with greater confidence. d) Under Section 31 of the RMA, Council must promote integrated management of the effects of land use change – a difficult task if it is faced with a series of potentially conflicting aspirations through potentially multiple private plan change requests over the remaining land parcels in a greenfields area.
7. The planning process for the rest of the CSW4 growth area will be similar to that used for CN3 and CSW3. It will be necessary to notify the plan change inserting ODPs into the City Plan at the same time or a short time ahead of the expected private plan changes for rezoning. At a later stage the Council could choose to propose Living G zonings over the remainder of the Outline Plan area. This would avoid uncoordinated private plan changes and promote more standardised rule packages.
8. Having regard to above points, it is recommended that Council gives approval for the development of an ODP for the remaining part of the CSW4 greenfield area, and the preparation of a plan change to include the ODP into the City Plan.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
9. Provision has been made in the 2013-14 Draft Annual Plan (District Plan Activity) for funding that will enable the Council to prepare plan changes introducing ODPs into the City Plan and/or for rezoning for this area.
Do the recommendations of this report align with 2009-19 LTP budgets?
10. The recommendations and costs incurred align with the District Planning budget and work programme as provided for under the 2009-2019 LTP budget.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
Have you considered the legal implications of the issue under consideration?
11. There is a legal process which must be followed for plan changes under the First Schedule of the RMA. Proceeding in accordance with this process should create no particular risks. This process is familiar to the Council both in respect of Council initiated plan changes (Part 1 of the Schedule), and in respect of the private plan change process (Part 2 of the Schedule).
12. The Council is legally obliged to have regard to Proposed Change 1 to the RPS including Policies 7 and 8 re Outline Development Plans. 117 COUNCIL 24. 4. 2013 Planning Committee 3. 4. 2013 - 23 - 4 Cont’d
ALIGNMENT WITH LTP AND ACTIVITY MANAGEMENT PLANS
Do the recommendations of this report support a level of service or project in the 2009-19 LTP?
13. The process of Council initiated plan changes is provided for under the LTP and Activity Management Plans. A District Plan work programme has yet to be approved for the 2013-2014 year. This programme will indicate potential further work in the ODP area.
14. The LTP identifies an ongoing programme of preparing, maintaining and reviewing the City Plan as a Level of Service. In addition, one of the measures of success is the development of policy and plans to implement the Council’s components of the greater Christchurch Urban Development Strategy (UDS) action plan.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIES
Do the recommendations align with the Council’s strategies?
15. The recommendations of this report are consistent with Proposed Change 1, the Greater Christchurch Urban Development Strategy, the South West Area Plan and the objectives and policies for urban growth in City Plan.
CONSULTATION FULFILMENT
16. The Council has yet to initiate consultation with landowners and other affected parties. There have been informal discussions with some proponents of private plan changes. If Council approval is given to prepare the ODP, consultation with affected land owners and the wider community will be initiated.
17. When any plan changes are notified, submissions and hearings processes will follow, thereby enabling interested and affected parties to comment formally on proposals.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Council:
(a) Take a proactive role in planning the development and sequencing of the remaining CSW4 greenfields area, South West Halswell, by leading the preparation of the Outline Development Plan in collaboration with landowners and their representatives.
(b) Notify the ODP and private plan changes introducing the Living G rules package as separate plan changes.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
That the Staff Recommendation be adopted.
BACKGROUND (THE ISSUES)
18. An outline Development Plan (ODP) is proposed for part of the greenfield residential area identified as CSW4 in the decisions version of Proposed Change 1 (PC1) to the Regional Policy Statement. The area comprises approximately 85 hectares, and is included in Table 2 of Policy 6 in PC1 for greenfields residential land. (Attachment 3 lists all of the greenfields areas and Attachment 4 shows their distribution). The subject land is bounded by Halswell Junction Road, Sabys Road, Quaiffes Road and Murphy’s Road (see Attachments 1). Land to the immediate north, and east of the proposed residential greenfield area is an established residential area while, to the west, land has recently been rezoned for housing (through Plan
118 COUNCIL 24. 4. 2013 Planning Committee 3. 4. 2013 - 24 - 4 Cont’d
Change 60) and is currently being subdivided into residential sections. The subject land is currently zoned Rural 2 in the Operative City Plan and is used primarily for rural activities.
19. The South West Area Plan (SWAP) reflects PC1 by identifying the subject land for residential purposes. It also provides direction for planning future road connections, open space, stormwater management and the provision of infrastructure within and to the proposed residential area. There are no infrastructure constraints that will delay subdivision and development, due mainly to the past planning undertaken through the SWAP. Some up- grading and rebuilding of pump stations is required to service the subject area but this work has been programmed for completion this calendar year, with their capacities reserved for planned developments such as this one. There is a planned surface water management scheme for the area, and there is adequate provision for a reticulated water supply.
20. Over the past year, officers have had informal discussions with several landowners and developers contemplating private plan changes to rezone land for housing in the CSW4 Greenfields Residential area in South West Halswell. Any future plan changes will need to be prepared and assessed within the broader planning framework of an ODP.
21. Policy 8 of Proposed Change 1 to the Canterbury Regional Policy Statement (PC1) requires the development of urban activities (via rezoning) to be in accordance with an Outline Development Plan (ODP) – refer to Attachment 2 . The purpose of these plans is to provide the development frameworks for the Greenfields residential and business areas identified on Map 1 in PC1. (See Attachment 3). ODPs aim to ensure that land use change is supported by the provision of infrastructure and community services, that required housing densities are achieved, and that the principles of good urban planning and design are woven into new growth areas.
22. ODPs are essential for ensuring that the location, sequencing and funding of development and supporting infrastructure is coordinated, particularly where there are multiple landowners involved. They are particularly needed for good connectivity in the design and location of networks such as principal transport linkages, stormwater systems, and open space.
23. The level of detail contained in an ODP will vary depending on the circumstances. Policy 8 (see Attachment 1) does note that they should show proposed land uses including:
principal through-roads and connections with the surrounding road network and relevant infrastructure and services; any land to be set aside for community facilities or schools; parks and any other land for recreation; any land to be set aside for business activities; the distribution of different residential densities; land required for stormwater treatment, retention and drainage paths land reserved or otherwise set aside from development for environmental or landscape protection or enhancement; land reserved or otherwise set aside from development for any other reason, and the reasons for its protection and development; and pedestrian walkways, cycleways, and bus routes both within and adjoining the area to be developed.
Each of the greenfields residential areas is also required to provide for a minimum density of 15 households per hectare, under Policy 11 in PC1.
Current Issues
24. As previously reported (May 2012), recent greenfield growth in Christchurch has been initiated through privately requested plan changes. This has lead to numerous variants of zones and ODPs as each development seeks to distinguish itself from others, and to reflect the opportunities and constraints inherent in the site. These sequential plan changes are adding a
119 COUNCIL 24. 4. 2013 Planning Committee 3. 4. 2013 - 25 - 4 Cont’d
new and extra level of complexity to the City Plan and its administration, and have made it even less user-friendly.
25. Particular difficulties are also beginning to emerge in future development areas where there is currently no ODP in place, with several individual landowners each considering private plan changes or resource consents for only a part of a wider greenfields development area. Outline Development Plans have been prepared for several areas of greenfield land shown in PC1 including CN3 (Upper Styx) in the northwest of Christchurch and CSW3 (Sparks Road) located between Halswell and Sparks Road in the southwest of Christchurch (see Attachment 4).
26. Council staff are now discussing private plan change proposals for rezoning part of the CSW4 area prior to these being submitted as formal requests for plan changes. Landowners are keen to get land rezoned as quickly as possible. A decision needs to be made as a matter of urgency on the process that should be followed.
Process Options
27. The first stage in processing identified greenfields growth areas for urban rezoning is to prepare an ODP and put it into the City Plan through a plan change. This is followed by a further plan change(s) which inserts into the City Plan the appropriate land use zone with objectives, policies, and rules as appropriate. For CSW4 this is likely to be a “Living G Zone”. There are three principal process options:
(1) ODP prepared by landowners and subsequently taken over by the Council. The land use change to introduce Living Zone, including rules, could be prepared by Council or developers.
28. Preliminary discussions with potential proponents covered the possibility of their initiating the ODP preparation and the Council taking over the ODP plan change in due course. This approach was used for Plan Change 71 and (private) Plan Change 72, with the latter eventually adopted by the Council. As the process required the Council to be involved from the start to achieve the outcomes it sought, there were no real advantages or significant cost savings in using this approach.
(2) ODP prepared by the Council, and Living Zone subsequently introduced through private plan changes.
29. From a cost perspective this has advantages for the Council, but unless landowners band together to submit comprehensive plans, there are potential problems with integrating the infrastructure and managing the effects of what would be sequential plan change requests . It could also lead to a fragmented plan approval process, a range of different rule packages, and possibly disputes between individual landowners. However, in this instance, it appears likely that only one or two developers will be involved in preparing the private plan changes for Living G.
(3) ODP and Living Zone change prepared by the Council at the same time.
30. This approach would require the Council to bear all of the costs (unless a cost share agreement could be arranged with the other parties), but will provide greater certainty of outcomes. The potential disadvantage is a possible delay in notifying the ODP while Council prepares the Living Zone rules package.
Proposed Approach to Preparing ODPs and Rezoning the CSW4 Greenfields Land
31. It is proposed that the Council would prepare and notify the ODP and work with landowners to prepare private plan changes that are consistent with the ODP (Option 2).
