Applications for resource consent
From City Scene, published on 5 July 2009
Auckland City Council has received the following
applications for resource consent under the Resource Management Act 1991. Anyone
can make a submission on these applications - see the end of these notices for
more information on how to do this.
Application one
Site
4 Brown Street, Ponsonby.
Details
The applicant seeks resource consent approval to construct
two penthouse units to be located on the roof of a proposed building yet to be
constructed.
The site is zoned Business 2 and the proposal requires
resource consent for a number of matters under the district plan, including an
infringement of the maximum height and maximum floor area ratio controls, as
well as requiring assessment for residential units in the zone and in terms of
the Ponsonby Centre Plan.
Overall the proposal requires consent as a discretionary
activity.
Applicant
Valencia Holdings Limited.
Applicant's address for service
Alan Bradbourne (Alan Bradbourne Partners), 27 Bush Road,
Waiatarua, Waitakere 0604.
Copies of the application can be viewed at:

35 Graham Street, central city.
Closing date for submissions
Friday, 31 July 2009.
Application two
Site
1-47 Jellicoe Street, central city.
Details
The proposal is for the construction of two single-storey
buildings and the refurbishment of an existing building ("cargo building") to
accommodate food and beverage facilities, together with retail, entertainment
and gathering facilities.
The proposed buildings are stand-alone structures that will
be constructed either side of the existing cargo building (504mē). The eastern
building will have a gross floor area of 879mē and the western building will
have a gross floor area of 1264mē.
The proposed buildings are set back 16m from the wet-edge
of the North Wharf. This set-back will be provided as public open space. To
provide for this 16m depth, the proposal assumes that the existing site will be
increased in depth (southwards) by narrowing Jellicoe Street further than that
provided for in Plan Modification 4 (Wynyard Quarter).
The narrowing of Jellicoe Street, and the stopping of this
part of the road reserve is a separate process that sits outside this resource
consent application and until formalised the district plan provisions of the
underlying zone (Public Open Space 3 - Streets) will apply.
Public space, 10 metres either side of the cargo building,
will be created for pedestrian access to and from Jellicoe Street and the North
Wharf. A "market square" will be created to the south of the cargo building. No
off-street parking or loading will be provided. The design and layout of the
proposal is such that when the opportunity arises for the site to accommodate a
greater intensity of development, the buildings can be demounted and relocated.
Resource consent is required under the operative central
area district plan and Proposed Plan Modification 4 (Wynyard Quarter). Consent
matters relate to demolition; design and appearance; signage; redevelopment of a
potentially contaminated site; provision of food and beverage, entertainment and
gathering activities; parking shortfall of 55 spaces; traffic generation and
building(s) within the road reserve. In addition the proposal involves
development control modifications in respect of the following; loading; bus and
coach parking; verandah width; street frontage alignment and height; street
frontage storey height, floor level and transparency control; placement of
outdoor dining areas and verandah width within an identified lane/view shaft.
Overall the status of the activity is non-complying.
