9.3.3 Centre or mixed use code

9.3.3.1 Application

(a) This code applies to assessing a material change of use or building work if: accepted development subject to compliance with identified requirements, where acceptable outcomes of this code are identified requirements in a table of assessment for a material change of use (section 5.5) building work (section 5.7), a neighbourhood plan (section 5.9), or an overlay (section 5.10) ; or assessable development, where this code is an applicable code identified in the assessment benchmarks column of a table of assessment for a material change of use (section 5.5), building work (section 5.7), a neighbourhood plan (section 5.9), or an overlay (section 5.10); or impact assessable development, for a use of a commercial or retail nature. (b) When using this code, reference should be made to section 1.5 and section 5.3.3. Note—The following purpose, overall outcomes, performance outcomes and acceptable outcomes comprise the assessment benchmarks of this code. Editor's note—For a proposal to be accepted development subject to compliance with identified requirements, it must meet all the identified acceptable outcomes of this code and any other applicable code. Where it does not meet all identified acceptable outcomes, the proposal becomes assessable development and a development application is required. Where a development application is triggered, only the specific acceptable outcomes that the proposal fails to meet need to be assessed against the corresponding assessable acceptable outcomes or performance outcomes and relevant overall outcomes. Other identified acceptable outcomes that are met are not assessed as a part of the development application. Note—Development for a multiple dwelling or the multiple dwelling component of a mixed use development is also assessed against the Multiple dwelling code and any prescribed secondary code. Note—Enclosure of car parking areas extending more than 1m above ground level is considered assessable development. Note—Where this code includes performance outcomes or acceptable outcomes that relate to: air quality assessment, guidance is provided in the Air quality planning scheme policy; crime prevention through environmental design, guidance is provided in the Crime prevention through environmental design planning scheme policy; design for the reduction of graffiti, guidance is provided in the Graffiti prevention guidelines planning scheme policy; the Independent design advisory panel, guidance is provided in the Independent design advisory panel planning scheme policy; infrastructure design and construction works, guidance is provided in the Infrastructure design planning scheme policy; noise impacts assessment, guidance is provided in the Noise impact assessment planning scheme policy; the selection of planting species, guidance is provided in the Planting species planning scheme policy; refuse and recycling, guidance is provided in the Refuse planning scheme policy; structure planning, guidance is provided in the Structure planning planning scheme policy; transport, access, parking or servicing provisions, guidance is provided in the Transport, access, parking and servicing planning scheme policy; significant vegetation, guidance is provided in the Vegetation planning scheme policy. 9.3.3.2 Purpose

(1) The purpose of the Centre or mixed use code is to assess the suitability of development to which this code applies. (c) The purpose of the code will be achieved through the following overall outcomes: (a) Development involving a new use in an existing building is appropriate for its location and does not negatively impact on the amenity of the local area or adjoining residents. Development is tailored to the location of the site considering its intensity of activity, range of uses and proximity to higher capacity public transport services, government services, community facilities and other infrastructure and presents a coordinated and integrated building, open space and innovative landscaping response to the street and adjoining public spaces. Development involving new premises contributes to the economic activity and vitality of the location and is appropriate to its relative catchment and expected hours of operation. Development ensures that the site area and frontage is sufficient for the scale and form of development and is sufficient to manage the impacts to a lower intensity use or a sensitive use in and adjoining the development.

Part 9 – Development Codes (Centre or Mixed Use) Effective 1 December 2017 Development contributes to the overall structure and integration of the site with the local area and: does not isolate or negatively impact on the development potential of adjoining sites; provides opportunities for the integration of pedestrian and cyclist access and parking across adjoining sites, to enhance permeability, legibility, safety, convenience and comfort for all users. Development provides physical and visual connections to high-frequency transport nodes, contributing to the overall pedestrian network to support an enduring pedestrian-oriented environment. Development intensity, bulk, scale and form is: (i) consistent with the intended function, spatial arrangement and type of centre or corridor, as expressed in the zone, zone precinct and neighbourhood plan outcomes; (ii) articulated and detailed to achieve a positive streetscape outcome. Development provides adaptable and flexible space, particularly on the lower levels of a building, to support use and activity changes over time. Development for a building exhibits subtropical design elements and a visually appealing street edge that continues local character form such as traditional strip shopfronts, where appropriate, to contribute to Brisbane's sustainability, character and identity. Development ensures that the design of buildings reflects an intense urban form while providing open space and landscaping appropriate to the use and scale of the development, and which positively contributes to the streetscape character and local identity. Development provides a range of public, communal and private open spaces on site to support both public usage and building occupant needs which are distinct and afforded the appropriate level of access and privacy. Development provides high-quality on-site landscaping that reduces urban heat island effects and contributes to the subtropical landscape character and microclimate of the locality and site with deep- planting areas for the protection of significant vegetation and establishment of large, subtropical shade trees. Development provides car parking which is legible and clearly distinct for the different user groups of a mixed use development such as customers and staff, residents and visitors. Development provides safe, convenient and accessible on-site vehicle parking that does not adversely impact on the quality and amenity of an adjoining streetscape, public space or residents. Development provides an active frontage and integrated streetscape interface that creates a pedestrian-scaled, comfortable, attractive, sheltered and safe public realm, and supports pedestrian activity on Brisbane's subtropical streets. Development uses side boundary setbacks and built form height transitions in or adjoining a low density residential area to manage the interface with those areas and reflect the amenity, privacy, form and character of those areas. Development manages visual, air, odour and noise impacts through appropriate use mix, siting and building design, to achieve a level of amenity consistent with the zone, zone precinct and neighbourhood plan outcomes, and recognising that residential amenity in a centre and mixed use area will not be to the same level that might be expected in residential zones and areas. Development for a sensitive use is compatible with nearby existing uses that have the potential for off-site air emissions, considers the health and wellbeing of occupants and does not adversely impact on the continued operation of those existing uses. Development, particularly on landmark sites, retains and supports site features, such as views, heritage, significant vegetation and significant corner sites, and provides character and design elements to strengthen local identity and city distinctiveness. 9.3.3.3 Performance outcomes and acceptable outcomes

Notes— For development located on a site with 2 or more street frontages, a primary street frontage will be nominated. For a site with 2 or more street frontages, all common boundaries with adjoining lots are considered side boundaries. Building height transition and building separation requirements to a residential development may vary boundary setback requirements. Car parking is to comply with the siting requirements in Table 9.3.3.3.D. Roofing of terrace areas created on car parking structures is to comply with boundary setback requirements for balconies specified in Table 9.3.3.3.C. Front boundary setbacks are generally not influenced by building separation requirements.

The height also includes fences, balustrades or podium planters located above the enclosed car parking structure. Where a terrace area is created on a car parking structure, any roofing is to comply with the boundary setback requirements for a balcony in Table 9.3.3.3.C. A number of car parking configurations and wall heights relative to ground level may occur on a site. The impact of refuse collection is to be considered in the design of car parking if refuse storage is located in a parking area or structure.
