        A.   Request staff to prepare a further report for the Ordinary Meeting dated 15 July
             2021 including conditions for approval of the application.
        A.   Refuse the application for the following reasons:
             1.     The proposal is not consistent with 3.2.4 Housing to meet diverse needs of
                    the community and 3.3.3 Housing Choice (n) of the Strategic Framework, as
                    it will further erode the dwelling units available for permanent housing in the
                    area, impacting permanent resident amenity.
                    a.    The proposal is not consistent with 7.2.6.2 Purpose and Overall
                          Outcome (2)(v)(iii) of the Coastal Communities Local Plan Code as:
                    b.    Additional visitor accommodation in the area is likely to result in
                          detrimental impacts on the residential amenity of permanent residents.
                    c.    The proposal is located on a site which is not identified for tourist
                          accommodation and given the extent of visitor accommodation in the
                          area zoned High Density Residential will impact on the availability of
                          multi units for permanent residents.
             2.     The proposal is not consistent with 6.3.2.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes
                    (2)(a) and (j) of the High Density Residential Zone Code as:
                    a.    The proposal is located in an area that is not predominantly home to
                          permanent residents, with many properties being used for visitor
                          accommodation and/or properties permitted for visitor accommodation
                          and the proposal will erode the availability of dwelling units for
                          permanent residents.
                    b.    The proposal seeks to establish a new short-term visitor
                          accommodation facility within a recently approved dual occupancy, and
                          is not located within a well-established resort or holiday units.
             3.     The proposal is not consistent with 9.3.5.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes
                    (1) and (2)(f) of the Visitor Accommodation Code as:
