3. Draft Housing and Business Choice Plan Change Consultation
Overview
3.1 This consultation relates to bringing the District
Plan in line with government direction that has been given via the National
Policy Statement-Urban Development and the Resource Management (Enabling
Housing Supply and Other Matters) Amendment Act to enable more development in
the city’s existing urban footprint.
3.2 Some of the changes are legal requirements of the new
national direction. They must be notified before 20 August 2022 and
cannot be influenced by the Council, or community feedback. However, there are
some changes that can be adapted based on residents’ views such as building heights above the new baselines.
3.3 Feedback
at this pre-notification stage will help develop the draft changes to the
District Plan that are not strictly dictated by the new national direction. The
draft plan change will then go out for further consultation when it is formally
notified before 20 August 2022.
3.4 The Council’s ‘Have Your Say’ page for this
consultation poses the following questions:
· Are we proposing the right
areas for development above 12 metres?
· Do you have any comments about the proposed
Qualifying Matters that will restrict intensified development or thresholds for
needing a resource consent?
· Does the proposed plan change allow for
enough business intensification?
· Any other comments about the proposed plan
changes?
4. Focus of Concurrent Plan Change Consultations
Draft Heritage Plan Change
4.1 The Council is proposing that 11 new
residential heritage areas across the city be identified for protection in the
District Plan to recognise Ōtautahi-Christchurch’s special identity
and adding around 65 buildings, items and building interiors to the Schedule of
Significant Historic Heritage.
4.2 The
Council’s ‘Have Your Say’ page for this consultation poses
the following questions:
· Do
you have any comments on the proposed Residential Heritage Areas?
· Do
you have any comments about other elements of the proposed Heritage Plan
Change?
Draft Coastal Hazards Plan Change
4.3 The
objectives the Council is seeking to achieve from this draft Plan Change
reflect those from the Resource Management Act, New Zealand Coastal Policy
Statement and Regional Policy Statement:
· Development,
subdivision and land use does not increase the risk of coastal inundation,
coastal erosion, rising groundwater or tsunami causing physical, social,
economic or environmental harm.
· Existing
communities potentially affected by coastal hazards are able to continue to
develop and use land, natural and physical resources where the risk of adverse
effects from coastal hazards is not increased and the level of risk can be
managed to an acceptable level.
4.4 This
proposed plan change has been shaped by community feedback. From 8 October
– 6 December 2021 the Council engaged with residents on an Issues and
Options Paper for the Coastal Hazards Plan Change.
4.5 The
Council’s ‘Have Your Say’ page for this present consultation
poses the following questions:
· Have
we adequately addressed the risks of potential coastal hazards?
· Are
there other sources of information you think we should also consider?
· Do
the draft Objectives, Policies and Rules strike the right balance between managing
the risks from coastal hazards while enabling communities to meet their
foreseeable needs where it is safe to do so?
· With
the introduction of Coastal Hazards provisions into the District Plan, are
there existing rules that could be removed or amended to make the Plan more
efficient and effective?
· Any
other comments
Draft Radio Communication Pathways
Plan Change
4.6 This consultation relates to the Council proposing:
· A
plan change to protect radio communication pathways (for emergency services),
from adverse effects due to buildings, structures, utilities and trees.
· Introducing
a new objective, policies and rules requiring resource consent as a
non-complying activity for any buildings, structures, utilities and trees above
the maximum height limit.
· That
the radio-communication pathways are a Qualifying Matter under the National
Policy Statement on Urban Development, which means a reduced level of
development can occur.
4.7 The
Council’s ‘Have Your Say’ page for this consultation poses
the following question:
· Do
you have any comments about the proposed plan change?
