  • Section 32 Report for the Claris Settlement Area
    HGI Plan Review: section 32 report for the Claris settlement area 1.0 Executive summary This report summarises the evaluation undertaken by the council for the method of development of the settlement area of Claris in terms of section 32 of the Resource Management Act. The scope of this report is to look at the areas identified within settlement area and the borders of the settlement area. The report also addresses the objectives and policies for the Claris dune and wetland conservation areas. With regard to the implementation of the objectives, policies and rules in the residential amenity, local retailing, and light industry sub-areas found within the settlement area, these can be found in separate s32 reports. The main conclusions are: • That a settlement plan identifying appropriate activities in different parts of Claris is the most effective manner in which to manage the land resource within the settlement. • That a list of appropriate activities is identified to reflect the nature and sensitivity of the delineated areas in the settlement. • That the area to be included in the settlement area should extend to the Ocean View Road residential area in the south, along Hector Sanderson Road and incorporating residential and local retailing areas, and include a light industry area along Grays Road, with the remaining area as airport area or dune and wetland conservation areas. • That insufficient information is available to extend the residential amenity area (with the possibility that it may be used as a pensioner village) to the south of Ocean View road in terms of land suitability and protection of the rural/unspoilt nature of the Kaitoke dune area and beach.
