The site will provide synergies and efficiencies with the existing operation, due to its proximity to the existing operation and the railway station. The site is currently zoned B2 Local Centre under the Hornsby Local Environmental Plan 2013. It is proposed to rezone the land to R3 Medium Density Residential, with a height limit of 26.5m for the principle purpose of developing housing for seniors, together with a gymnasium and local shop at ground and first floor levels. It is proposed to remove any Floor Space Ratio controls from the site, consistent with the adjoining residential land. This Planning Proposal is the first step in creating a new Local Environmental Plan (LEP). A planning proposal is a document that explains the intended effect of the proposed LEP and the justification for making it. This Report has been prepared in accordance with the NSW Department of Planning and Infrastructure documents A Guide to Preparing Local Environmental Plans and A Guide to Preparing Planning Proposals. The latter document requires the Planning Proposal to include as a minimum the following four parts: Part 1 – A statement of the objectives or intended outcomes of the proposed LEP (EP&A Act 1979 s. 55(2)(a); Part 2 – An explanation of the provisions that are to be included in the proposed LEP (EP&A Act 1979 s. 55(2)(b); Part 3 – The justification for those objectives, outcomes and provisions and the process for their implementation (EP&A Act 1979 s. 55(2)(c); A. The need for the planning proposal i. Is the planning proposal a result of any strategic study or report? ii. Is the planning proposal the best means of achieving the objectives or intended outcomes, or is there a better way? iii. Is there a net community benefit? B. Relationship to strategic planning framework. iv. Is the planning proposal consistent with the objectives and actions contained within the applicable regional or sub- regional strategy (including the Sydney Metropolitan Strategy and exhibited strategies)? v. Is the planning proposal consistent with the local Council’s Community Strategic Plan, or other local strategic plan? vi. Is the planning proposal consistent with applicable state environmental planning policies? Planning Proposal - Rezone Land to Residential Page 1 Lot 1 & 2 in DP 346522, 7-9 Alexandria Pde, Waitara INTRODUCTION 1 vii. Is the planning proposal consistent with applicable Ministerial Directions? C. Environmental, social and economic impact. viii. Is there any likelihood that critical habitat or threatened species, populations of ecological communities, or their habitats, will be adversely affected as a result of the proposal? ix. Are there any other likely environmental effects as a result of the planning proposal and how are they to be mitigated? x. How has the planning proposal adequately addressed any social and economic effects? D. State and Commonwealth interests. xi. Is there adequate public infrastructure for the planning proposal? Part 4 – Details of the community consultation that is to be undertaken on the Planning Proposal (EP&A Act 1979 s. 55(2)(e); 1.2 Structure of Report This report is structured to provide all the information necessary for the Council and Department of Planning and Infrastructure to determine whether to support the proposal and to pass it through to Gateway Determination as follows: Section 1 provides the background, a description of the site and surrounds, and existing planning controls. Section 2 addresses the requirements in Part 1 above, the objectives and intended outcomes of the planning proposal Section 3 explains Part 2, the provisions to be included in the proposed LEP. Section 4 addresses Part 3, the objectives, outcomes and provisions and the process for their implementation. Section 5 details the community consultation required in Part 4. 1.3 Consultation Several meetings have been held with Council staff to discuss the Planning Proposal. A proposal (for discussion) was lodged with Council in July 2015 to rezone the land from B2 to R3, the same as this proposal. Council staff indicated that the proposal should be updated to address: The need for, and public benefit of permitting senior housing on land in addition to the SEPP; An alternate approach to rezoning the land R3 Medium Density Residential which is considered inconsistent with the zone objectives; and Preliminary concept plans that detail how a development would be appropriately sited on the land in accordance with Council’s DCP and the requirements of SEPP 65.
