               to provide additional functional car parking on site, with the existing carport clearly associated with
               and required for the site’s existing dwelling.

                  Food and drink outlet     1 space per 20m2 use area Nil                                    X
                                            – 3 spaces

               The applicant submits that the council has implemented two 10-minute parking spots on the street
               to facilitate parking availability and there is abundant on-street parking accessible on both sides of
               Weyba Road.
               The proposal is expected to have a high turnover of customers, given it offers takeaway, with traffic
               conditions and volumes on Weyba Road significantly different to what they were when the seafood
               kiosk opened decades ago. On street parking is also often utilised by patrons to the neighbourhood
               centre to the west and during larger events held at 155 Weyba Road, including the farmer’s market.
               Residents and visitors to the area also frequent this car parking.

               It is noted that multiple planning schemes have commenced and been superseded in the 40 years
               since the original kiosk was established on site, with the site remaining zoned for residential
               purposes throughout each scheme iteration. The site has not been rezoned to reflect the
               established commercial use on site, as it was considered any redevelopment of the site should be
               for residential purposes to reflect the historic zoning and established character of the area.
               As outlined above, the proposed changes do not constitute a minor change as defined by the
               Planning Act 2016, as the proposed change would result in a substantially different development
               when considered in the context of the site’s location in a residential area. The proposed bakery is
               materially different to the approved takeaway seafood kiosk with its early morning starts, onsite
               outdoor dining for 10 people, anticipated additional staff and increased car parking demands. The
               proposed bakery is not consistent with the medium density residential zoning, with the site more
