REC14/0007 & OPW14/0253 Report

      Option 4b) seeking approval for 2 x 3 bedroom units (1 x duplex) on 1 of the Semi-
      Attached zoned sites is unlikely to be supported as the proposed density of 6.6 persons
      exceeds the maximum density of 4.8 persons for the site. However, an application for 2 x
      2 bedroom units on 1 of the Semi-Attached zoned lots is likely to be supported.

      Option 4c) A single detached house on one of the Semi-Attached lots is a consistent use
      and would be code assessable, triggered by the Natural Resources Overlay with Coastal
      Protection.

      Option 5 - Reconfigure the entire site for multiple dwelling units and demolish the
      existing dwelling
      The combined site area of 2023.6m² could be developed as 6 x 3 bedroom dwelling units
      or 8 x 2 bedroom dwelling units or a combination of two and three bedroom options.
      This would allow the site to be developed as a single two storey building over a shared
      basement car park (maximum building height 8m).The car park, pool and/ or open space
      areas would be on community title.

      This option would trigger infrastructure charges as follows:
      8 x 2 bedroom dwelling units - $156,000 less $81,000 credit (for the original three lots) =
      $75,000
      6 x 3 bedroom dwelling units - $162,000 less $81,000 credit = $81,000.

      Comment
      Although multiple dwellings are consistent within the Semi-Attached area of the combined
      lot, multiple dwellings are inconsistent in the Detached Housing zone area. Given multiple
      dwellings are an inconsistent use within the Detached Housing zone and not in character
      with the surrounding area, option 5 is not preferred and is unlikely to be supported.
