The table identifies that the proposal is more compliant with the Business Centre Zone than the
Attached Housing Zone. Whilst this is generally accepted due to the nature of the development,
the absence of compliant roof form and eaves is reflective of the concerns previously raised
regarding the built form character.

       Business Uses Code

detailed below:

 678m2 gfa proposed                                             spaces in road reserve

 Total                                              34                         30                     No

The applicant has proposed to construct 5 new car spaces and 8 scooter spaces in the Opal
Street road reserve. If accepted this would result in the total number of car spaces being 30 and
resulting in a deficiency of 4 car spaces. However, given the proposed works within the road
reserve will impact on the existing street trees it is recommended that on-street car parking be
limited to 4 car spaces and 4 scooter spaces.
