MODIFICATION RELATING TO BUILDING HEIGHT CONTROLS WITHIN THE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT CODE (ANAMBAH BUSINESS PARK) CHAPTER File No: 103/51 Attachments: 1. Submission from ADW Johnson 2. Amended DCP Clause 3. Amended DCP Map Responsible Officer: Bernie Mortomore - Group Manager Service Planning & Regulation David Simm - Manager Development & Environment Stephen Punch - Principal Planner Author: Belinda Barrie - Town Planner EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A submission has been made to Council requesting the modification of the Industrial Development Code chapter of the Maitland Citywide Development Control Plan (DCP). This chapter of the DCP has specific controls relating to development within Anambah Business Park. Clause 3A.3(a)(i) specifically limits buildings to a maximum height of 12m. The developer has submitted a request for this development control to be varied in order to allow for higher developments to be considered on merit. It should be noted that no other industrial land within the Maitland Local Government Area is subject to height limitations. The main issue in regards to building heights relates to obstacle height limitations from the adjoining aerodrome. The developer has submitted a map which indicates that the obstacle height limitations only affect a small part of the overall subdivision and that a higher form of development could be considered in other parts of the estate. A copy of the amended clause has been attached for reference. The amendment will be publicly exhibited for 28 days, subject to the endorsement of Council. OFFICER’S RECOMMENDATION THAT 1. Pursuant to Clause 18 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000, the proposed amendment to the height limitations controls for Anambah Business Park be exhibited as an amendment to the Industrial Development Code being a chapter of the Maitland Citywide Development Control Plan.

INTRODUCTION This report is designed to outline the proposed amendment to the Maitland Citywide Development Control Plan, and (subject to Council endorsement), highlight a path forward for exhibition.

Development controls: (a) Building controls i) Building heights – buildings should have a maximum height of 12 metres, where height is defined to be the vertical distance between ground level (existing) at any point to the highest point of the building, including plant and lift overruns, but excluding communication devices, antennae, satellite dishes, masts, flagpoles, chimneys, flues and the like. It is proposed to amend this clause to the following: Note: This alternative
