1. Determining Whether An Activity Needs A Resource Consent
(A) Zoning
There is a need to determine the zoning of the land based on the location of land within the District Plan maps. The Planning Maps are an integral part of the Plan and should be read in conjunction with the Objectives, Policies and Rules of the Plan. There are eight zones, comprising Residential, Rural, Commercial/Retail, Paraparaumu Town Centre, Amended Industrial/Service, Open Space, River Corridor and Conservation Zones. There are three precinct areas change 67 20/8/07 comprising the Waikanae Garden Area and Ferndale Area within the Residential Zone and the Tourist Activity Area within the Rural Zone. (B) Type of Land Use Activity
Once the zoning is determined, the proposed activity will need to be assessed in order to determine whether a resource consent is required.
There are five types of activity listed in the rules section of this Plan. These are PERMITTED, CONTROLLED, DISCRETIONARY, NON-COMPLYING AND PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES. The following determines the type of activity in the rules of this Plan.
A permitted activity is any activity which is listed in the rules as a permitted activity and which complies with all the permitted activity standards or any activity not listed as any other activity and which complies with all the permitted activity standards.
If the activity meets all performance standards, there is no need for a resource consent. The activity is permitted as of right.
A controlled activity is any activity which is listed in the rules as a controlled activity and which complies with the permitted activity standards but which involves Council specifying matters over which it reserves control.
KAPITI COAST DISTRICT COUNCIL D - 6 DISTRICT PLAN
D: GUIDE TO RULES AND STANDARDS
A resource consent is required for a controlled activity but generally need not be publicly notified (refer Part F of the Plan). Unless there are special circumstances, an application for resource consent for a controlled activity must be approved subject to the Council exercising control over the matters specified in the Plan.
A discretionary activity is any activity which is listed in the rules as a discretionary activity and which complies with all of the discretionary activity standards or any activity which does not comply with any one or more of the permitted or controlled activity standards and is not otherwise listed as a non-complying activity.
A discretionary activity requires an application for a resource consent which may or may not be publicly notified and which may or may not be approved. The matters to be taken into account when deciding on an application are outlined in Section 104 and 104B of the Resource Management Act 1991. The matters to be taken into account when determining whether an application is to be publicly notified are outlined in Section 94 of the Act (refer Part F of the Plan).
A non-complying activity is any activity which is listed in the rules as a non-complying activity or which contravenes any one or more of the discretionary activity standards.
A non-complying activity also requires a resource consent which may or may not be approved. When considering an application, the Council must be satisfied that the criteria or ‘tests’ set out in Section 104D of the Resource Management Act 1991 are met before it can exercise any judgement in terms of the matters outlined in Section 104 of the Act. If these criteria are not met then the application must be refused. If they are, then the Council has the discretion to approve or refuse the application in terms of the matters under Section 104B of the Act.
The matters to be taken into account when determining whether an application is to be publicly notified are outlined in Sections 94, 94A, 94B, 94C, 94D and 95 of the Act. However, in general applications will be publicly notified (refer Part F of the Plan).
A prohibited activity is any activity listed in the rules as a prohibited activity.
Prohibited activities can not be approved by Council under ANY circumstances. The Act does not allow consideration of resource consent applications for prohibited activities.

D: GUIDE TO RULES AND STANDARDS
Note: Amendments to the Resource Management Act 1991 which came into effect on 1 August 2003 have been incorporated into the above advice notes. 2. Assessment Criteria
Council will, in addition to considering compliance with the objectives and policies of this Plan, have regard to, but not be limited to, the following when determining whether to approve a resource consent and what conditions will be imposed: A. Regarding Discretionary Activities
The matters set out in section 104 of the Resource Management Act 1991; The provisions made for complying with the Permitted and Discretionary Activity standards; The impact of the proposal on the natural and physical environment; The design and external appearance of any structure and the visual impact of the proposal on the landscape; The impact of the proposal on Maori ancestral lands, water, sites, waahi tapu and other taonga; The scale of the proposed development and the impact on the character of the locality; The regard given to the avoidance or mitigation of natural hazards; The provisions made to mitigate any adverse effects the proposal may have on the environment. The Council may, if approval is given, place further conditions on a resource consent for a discretionary activity which:
avoids, remedies or mitigates any effects resulting from the matters stated above; limit the duration of the consent; allow the effects of the activity to be monitored and the consent to be reviewed.
KAPITI COAST DISTRICT COUNCIL D - 8 DISTRICT PLAN
D: GUIDE TO RULES AND STANDARDS
B. Regarding Non-Complying Activities
Any activity which is listed as a non-complying activity or does not meet the Discretionary Activity Standards is a non- complying activity.
In considering any application for a non-complying activity, regard will be had to the permitted activity and discretionary activity standards. Conditions may be imposed on particular proposals (or proposals declined) in relation to these standards. In addition, the following matters will be taken into account:
The effect of the proposal on the environment, including the cumulative effect of allowing the activity and whether the effect is minor; The effect that granting consent to the proposal will have on the objectives and policies contained in the District Plan; The contribution that the activity makes to enhance and vitalise the environment.

D.11 NGARARA ZONE RULES AND STANDARDS
D.11.1 Ngarara Zone Rules
Given the special characteristics of Ngarara, it is appropriate that Addition specific rules apply so as to ensure the identified objectives are Change 80 22/3/10 met. The Structure Plan attached as D.11: Ngarara Zone Neighbourhood Development Areas - Appendix 1 outlines the conceptual development of the site and identifies a series of development clusters, called Neighbourhood Development Areas (NDAs) which identify development areas and corresponding areas of conservation and open space, with overarching Management Principles provided in D.11: Ngarara Zone Management Principles - Appendix 2. The areas for development and the corresponding open space areas shown within each NDA in the Ngarara Zone Structure Map may require minor refinement at the Neighbourhood Development Plan stage.
Subdivision and development of each NDA is a discretionary activity subject to the development of detailed Neighbourhood Development Plans which address the roading layout, ecological constraints, traffic management, stormwater, water and wastewater management built form, open space and conservation elements, vehicle and other linkages and sustainability initiatives. Land use consent for a full discretionary activity is required for each NDA, before development can proceed. A subdivision consent is also required at the time of approval of the NDA so that its boundaries can be defined along with the roading and open space network and any conditions to be complied with on a continuing basis can be imposed. The resource consent application would include a Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) for each NDA, which would effectively be the Master Plan for that part of the development site. The NDP would demonstrate how the principles and outcomes sought for that Area under the Structure Plan would be achieved.
Once the NDP for each NDA is approved (i.e. granted resource consent), subdivision and land use consent for non residential, commercial and retail activities would be required for the actual development of the respective NDAs. Provided the subdivision and land uses comply with the approved conditions and requirements in the NDP, consent would be required as a controlled activity. Consent for subdivision and land development could be sought concurrently with resource consent for the Neighbourhood Development Area. Dwellings and accessory buildings that are in accordance with a Council
KAPITI COAST DISTRICT COUNCIL D11 - 1 DISTRICT PLAN
D.11: NGARARA ZONE RULES AND STANDARDS ______
approved NDP and permitted activity standards would be permitted activities.
The NDP could be implemented in stages through separate land use and subdivision consents sought at later dates, or for the entire NDA at one time.
Should the subdivision or land use not be in accordance with the Council approved NDP (such as subdivision of areas for residential development outside the corresponding area identified in the NDP) consent would be required as a non- complying activity.
Development of each NDA within the Zone will need to comply with the District Plan vehicle access, road location, and design standards and design guidelines for roads. Such development will generate traffic on the external road network, including State Highway 1, and will contribute to the need for improvements within the network. The vision for Ngarara, including the design of roads, walkways and other linkages, seeks to minimise the generation of vehicular traffic. To ensure that the development within the Zone does not outstrip the capacity of the road network, the applicant shall prepare an integrated transport assessment as part of the NDP process, once the threshold of 265 household units within the Waimeha NDA is proposed to be exceeded.
Note: The low impact urban area within provisions Part C, Section C.7.2 Rural Subdivision and Development Policies 7(a), 7(b) and 7(c), Principal Reasons and Methods; and Provisions C.7.2, Anticipated Environmental Outcomes; do not apply or have no effect or application to that area of land identified within the Ngarara Zone of the District Plan.

enhancement of natural values. It shall include but not be limited to, the following matters:
(a) Ensure that no more than minor effects are created through the development in each NDP with an overall aim of achieving benefits to current water quality and flooding risks.
(b) Identify the forms of low impact stormwater technology to be utilised from the site development, e.g. including swales, rain gardens, roof runoff water tanks.
Note: The development of the storm water management plan is to be coordinated with development of the Environmental Management Plan to ensure integration of reticulation, treatment, and end of pipe solutions with management and hydrology of natural wetlands and waterbodies.
Integration of storm water treatment and management is to recognise Greater Wellington Regional Council publications “Mind the Stream”; “So you’re thinking about a pond”; and “Understanding the Wet in Wetlands”.
• Archaeological Survey and Assessment:
(a) The Archaeological Survey and Assessment is to include a comprehensive archaeological survey of the Neighbourhood Development Area for which resource consent is sought, using appropriate and current technology, to record all sites present, in so far as this is possible.
(b) The archaeologist should use the results of the survey to contribute towards development of the neighbourhood layout, noting areas which should be set aside as reserves, and deterring the layout and road alignment.
(c) The archaeologist should identify specific sites that could be investigated, to address the research themes noted above, and further research themes that are developed in the intervening time.
(d) The developer will need to apply to the Historic Places Trust for an authority to modify, damage or destroy sites, prior to any earthworks for each neighbourhood

(e) The archaeologist should contribute, knowledge, data and items to neighbourhood interpretations on the history of each neighbourhood.
• Integrated Traffic Assessment: Development of each NDA within the Zone shall prepare an Integrated Traffic Assessment to determine whether or not traffic effects on local (Kapiti Coast) and regional road networks are manageable and/or what measures are needed to avoid, remedy or mitigate these effects to an acceptable level. For the Waimeha NDA, the ITA shall address the traffic effects in excess of those from a threshold totalling 265 household units. The assessment shall include consideration of:
(a) Trip generation
(b) Public transport provision
(c) Walk and cycling planning
(d) Emissions
(e) Travel plan
(f) Intersection capability
(v) DEFINITION OF NEIGHBOURHOOD DEVELOPMENT AREAS An application for consent for a Neighbourhood C.22 Objective Development Plan under Rule 11.1.3(B)(i) shall be 1 Policies 1 and 3 accompanied by an application for subdivision consent under Rule 11.1.3.(B)(ii) to define the extent of the Neighbourhood Development Area concerned, the roading and open space network proposed, the areas to be developed and any easements, controls, covenants or other provisions to be complied with on a continuing basis.
