 Planning Comments

 General Comments
 •    It is noted that Council has received a number of enquiries for industrial developments
      to provide ‘spare garage’ type uses (eg storage of caravans, boats etc where they
      cannot fit on a residential property) and residential uses (ie small dwellings) in industrial
      zones. It is understood from the meeting that small scale industrial uses are proposed
      to tenant the development. Any application would need to demonstrate that the proposal
      will not constitute a ‘self storage’ facilities.
 •    It is recommended the applicant considered providing a variety of tenancy sizes to
      create a more diverse offering. It is recommended that this be considered prior to lodging
      an application.
 Medium Impact Industry Zone Code
 •    Low Impact Industry, Medium Impact Industry and Warehouse are all consistent uses
      within the Medium Impact Industry zone.
 •    Any ancillary uses (eg. detail sales or administration, food and drink outlet) proposed on
      site would need to comply with the relevant Performance Outcomes of the zone code.
 •    The proposal plans do not indicate the proposed height of the buildings. It is noted that
      the zone code requires building and structures are no more than 10 metres in height.
 •    The proposal plans do not indicate the overall design of the buildings. It is noted however
      that it appears the northern building will present a single, unarticulated plane of
      approximately 46m to the Leo Alley Road frontage, with no variation in the setback of
      the building. It is recommended the proposal include ‘step ins’ along this façade, noting
      that the Zone Code calls for:
      o development to provide interest to the street with a well-articulated facade, a mix of
          external building materials and a varied roof form.
