PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                           9 FEBRUARY 2021



     Code              Discussion

     Community         Development of parking on the adjacent site (Lot 19 RP126486) allows for the
     Facilities Zone   ongoing provision of services provided by Carramar Noosa Homes with expansion of
     Code              the services resulting from the previous approvals necessitating reorganisation of
                       parking and allocation of available land. The applicant has identified that the
                       provision of 15 parking spaces required by the previous approval would impact on the
                       existing maintenance and servicing area and the solution to accommodate additional
                       parking on the neighbouring parcel of land is a sensible outcome that will have
                       minimal impact on the surrounding area.
                       Acceptable Outcome AO7.1 identifies that Lot 19 on RP162486 should be retained
                       for residential care uses. The proposed carpark is an ancillary aspect of the
                       residential care use and as such is consistent with the acceptable outcome and
                       performance outcome of the code.

     Special           The proposed change is consistent with the use code. The proposed use does not
     Residential       intensify the use and no additional GFA is proposed. Lot 19 is of sufficient size and
     Code              dimension to accommodate the vehicle parking, access and manoeuvring in a safe
                       manner.
                       The applicant indicates that the proposed parking area is intended to be used
                       predominantly by staff and between the hours of 6:30am and 4:30pm. The property
                       to the north of Lot 19 is also owned by Noosacare Inc. and currently accommodates
                       a dwelling. The site to the west at 2 Carramar Street, also accommodates a dwelling
                       with approximately 42 metres of separation between the parking area and the
                       dwelling house. Potential impacts on the amenity of the nearby dwelling is expected
                       to be minimal with the existing shed in the rear of the neighbouring property buffering
                       the carpark use from the dwelling.          To mitigate potential noise impacts on
                       neighbouring dwellings, it is recommended that a condition be applied limiting night
                       time use of the western car park in Lot 19.

     Driveways and     The applicant has demonstrated that sufficient manoeuvring space is provided for
     Parking Code      vehicles using the proposed car park. There is sufficient width for passing vehicles
                       in the access driveway without need for greater width in the gateway. The applicant
                       also indicates that gates providing access to the carparking area will be closed
                       outside of the proposed operating hours to prevent night-time use. This will further
                       mitigate any potential amenity impact on adjacent dwellings by removing the ability
                       for the area to be used at night. It is recommended that a condition to this effect be
                       applied.
