         MCU22/0062 for a Development Permit for a Material Change of Use for Offices
         situated at 2 Emerald Street, Cooroy and:
         A.    Vary from the recommendations of staff on the basis that:
               1.    The staff assessment has placed inadequate weight on the need for
                     development to contribute to the achievement of
                     a)    the District Centres Zone Overall Outcome 2 (g) and (h);
                     b)    the Cooroy Local Plan Performance Outcomes PO3, PO7 and P10.
               2.    The staff assessment has placed too much weight on the standard and
                     design of existing nearby development compared to the desired future
                     character clearly outlined in the plan.
         B.    Does not agree to the proposed relaxation of height and carparking requirements
               due to the failure of the design to meet the outcomes listed above;
         C.    Advise the applicant that Council would consider relaxation of height
               requirements should
               1.    The second storey parapet be removed and be replaced with a hip roof
                     design to reflect the traditional character of two storey buildings in the
                     business district;
               2.    That the cantilevered awning be replaced with a street awning that
                     generally reflects the design criteria outlined in Figure 6.4.2.4 - Pedestrian
                     Environment - Street Awnings - Cooroy and Hinterland.
                                                                               Lost unanimously.
