     Seconded:         Cr Glasgow
     That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the Planning & Environment
     Committee Meeting dated 10 March 2020 regarding Application No. MCU19/0134 for a
     Development Permit for Material Change of Use - Entertainment & Dining Business - Type 3
     Bar, situated at 5 Taylor Ct Cooroy and:
     A.   Refuse the application for the following reasons:
          1.     The proposed Entertainment & Dining Business – Type 3 Bar use is identified as
                 an inconsistent use in the Industry Zone of the Cooroy & Lake Macdonald
                 Locality.
          2.     The proposed site is not suitable for the commercial use being located outside of
                 the Cooroy business centre, in an isolated location, with no pedestrian
                 connectivity or accessibility to public transport for patrons to the bar contrary to
                 Specific Outcomes O30 and O31 and Overall Outcomes d) and f) of the Business
                 Uses Code.
          3.     The proposal is contrary to Overall Outcomes a) and pp) i of the Cooroy & Lake
                 Macdonald Locality as the proposed bar:
                 3.1. will potentially undermine the intended use of the land in Taylor Court for
                      industrial uses to the exclusion of inconsistent uses; and
                 3.2. conflicts with the approved industrial uses on the site and hinder industrial
                      uses operations.
          4.     The applicant has not satisfactorily addressed that there is sufficient car parking
                 on site for the proposed use, with limited opportunities for street car parking.
          5.     The proposed use is specifically identified as an inconsistent use on the site
                 under the draft planning scheme as industrial land in Taylor Court is intended to
                 be used for industrial functions only to the exclusion of retail and commercial
                 uses.
     B.   Advise the applicant may wish to establish a tasting area that is ancillary but incidental
          and subordinate to the approved industrial use. Such an ancillary component would
          not include the sale of beverages or food for consumption on site.
     C.   Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
                                                                            Carried unanimously.
