Delegated Report - Code - Planning MCU22 0171 [As Published] · MCU22/0171

               proposed basement does not comply with the natural ground level as defined in the scheme, it will
               be below the required fill level and result in a basement below a lawfully changed ground level.
               The proposed basement is well integrated into the building, does not present as a storey, will not
               be visible to the street or surrounding area due to required filling and does not dominate the street
               or the building. The basement is considered to meet the Performance outcome.
               AO2.2 of he Landscaping Code states that basement car parks do not extend beyond the above
               ground footprint to allow for deep and soft planting within building setback areas in AO2.2.
               The difference between compliant setbacks and non compliance is 0.5 metres on the western
               boundary and in part 1.2 metres on the eastern boundary. Refer Figure 3. This relaxation is
               supported as:
                    • A basement would not be possible where complying with the required setbacks.
                    • The alternative at grade parking/garages which would dominate the frontage of the site.
                    • The site is narrow and the intrusions are required to achieve manoeuvring on site.
                    • The eastern intrusion relates to an area of basement carparking.
                    • Additional carparking is provided on site that is not visible to the surrounding area.
                    • Side boundary setbacks to the north and south of the building are able to support meaningful
                      landscaping that will screen the development.
               The proposed landscaping complies with AO10.1 of the Dual Occupancy Code as it provides in
               excess of the required 40% landscaping and 60% soft landscaping, with more than 3 metre wide
               gardens in the front setback. Refer Figure 10. Robust landscaping conditions have been included
               to ensure there is sufficient softening of the building.

               AO12.1 of the Medium Density Residential Zone code seeks:
               Buildings and structures meet the following minimum boundary setbacks for side boundaries—

                •   1.5 metres setback up to 4.5 metres height;
                •   2 metres setback between 4.5 metres and 7.5 metres height; and
                •   2.5 metres where above 7.5 metres height
               It is proposed that:
               •    Shade sails at 1.8 in lieu of 2 metres
                                                                                                    Page 14 of 22
