Town Planning Report - Peregian Village Market · MCU13/0251

49. The proposed building setbacks maintain the amenity of users of adjoining
    premises by preserving the visual and acoustic privacy. The design allows for
    significant landscaping to be provided to the frontages. The visual continuity and
    pattern of development is also generally consistent with existing development in
    the immediate locality.

50. The site is also constrained with respect to the length of the David Low Way
    frontage, which means that the development needs to be orientated as shown.
    This design is typical of a standard supermarket layout and what would normally
    be expected.

Site Cover, Gross Floor Area and Plot Ratio (O6)

51. The proposed development has a GFA of about 1,626m², a site cover of about
    40%, when having regard to the subject land area of 5,800m². Consequently, the
    proposed development is of a scale that is compatible with surrounding
    development and does not present an appearance of excessive bulk when viewed
    from the street. The built form is also softened by a significant amount of
    landscaping.

Roof Form (O12)

52. The proposed roof form is articulated and varies in slope direction, height and
    appearance. The atrium structure activates the frontage and makes use of
    varying materials that are light weight in appearance.

53. The roof is pitched and will contribute positively to the skyline. While there are
    some box like elements, these are generally limited to small sections of the roof,
    with most of the roof being pitched and varying in direction. The building
    treatments proposed also make for an interesting design. Further, the proposed
    development will not be out of character at this location.

Sloping Sites (O13)

54. The proposed development is responsive to the natural topography of the site by
    being integrated and set down well below the David Low Way frontage. Minimal
    cut and fill is required in order to provide a level building platform, which is
    needed for this type of commercial development.

Semi-Attached Housing Zone

Consistent and Inconsistent Uses (O29 & O30)

55. Within the Semi-Attached Housing Zone, Commercial Business Types 1 or 2 are
    consistent uses where located between 215 and 252 David Low Way, which
    includes the subject site. Both Entertainment and Dining and Retail Business are
    not consistent in this zone. However, both of these uses are allowed under the
    current approval over the land.
