INTRODUCTION 1.1 This is a hearing of submissions and further submissions on PAUP hearing Topic 081 Rezoning and Precincts (Geographical Areas) (Topic 081): Rezoning only. 1.2 Topic 081 concerns the submission points on rezoning and precincts that relate to specific geographical areas. 1.3 The submissions on Topic 081 have been grouped and addressed according to the following geographical areas: 1.4 (a) General (Topic 081a); (b) Rodney (Topic 081b); (c) North Shore (Topic 081c); (d) West (Topic 081d); (e) Central (Topic 081e); and (f) South (Topic 081f). This opening statement only relates to Topic 081 Rezoning. Topic 081 Precinct matters were addressed in a separate opening statement filed on 3 March 2016. 1.5 The focus of these legal submissions is on highlighting the key issues arising in relation to rezoning, and the Council’s approach to rezoning. Part A of these submissions will discuss key issues regarding rezoning in general, and Part B will discuss and summarise rezoning matters according to the geographical areas set out at paragraph 1.3 above. PART A: OVERVIEW 2. THE COUNCIL’S APPROACH TO THE TOPIC 081 EVIDENCE 2.1 The Council refers to its memorandum to the Panel dated 29 February 2016 regarding the Council Resolution of 24 February 2016 on out of scope residential 31560772:631364 Page 4 zoning changes. As a result of the Council’s Resolution, the Council sought leave to withdraw parts of its rezoning evidence for Topic 081:1 On the basis of the Council’s Resolution, the Council seeks leave from the Panel to withdraw all those parts of the evidence filed on its behalf that relate to the Residential Out of Scope Changes. The main parts of the Evidence Reports that are impacted by this request are those noted as Attachment F to the Evidence Reports and the Attachment E maps which show revised zones for each of the Region’s geographical areas, with the properties impacted by Residential Out of Scope Changes identified by blue outlining. Attachment C to the Evidence Reports is also impacted in so far as it contains cross-references to Residential Out of Scope Changes in Attachment F. Therefore the evidence in respect of which leave is sought to withdraw is as follows for each geographical area specific Evidence Report: (a) (b) (c) Attachment C, only insofar as it contains cross-references to Residential Out of Scope Changes in Attachment F; Attachment E, only insofar as the proposed Residential Out of Scope Changes are shown as a blue outline on the Council map for each sub area; and Attachment F as relates to the Residential Out of Scope Changes only. For the avoidance of doubt this request does not include evidence containing proposals for out of scope changes that respond to errors/anomalies and evidence relating to in or out of scope changes relating to Business, Rural, and Future Urban zones. 2.2 For the avoidance of doubt, we reiterate that the evidence referred to above (in the excerpt from the Council's memorandum) is withdrawn. As set out above, the Council did not withdraw the following Council evidence on zoning (referred to in these submissions as the "Remaining Evidence"): (a) Council in scope residential zoning changes; (b) Council out of scope residential zoning changes addressing minor changes covering technical errors and/or anomalies; and (c) Council in-scope and out of scope zoning changes in Business, Rural and Future Urban Zone (FUZ) areas. 2.3 At this point, it is appropriate to record that a number of statements of evidence were filed on the Council's behalf on or after 26 January 2016. The Council's decision to withdraw those parts of the evidence as they relate to the out of scope residential zoning changes, except evidence addressing minor changes covering technical errors and anomalies (Out of Scope Residential Changes) has meant that the 1 Auckland Council Memorandum to the Panel dated 29 February 2016, ‘Auckland Council Resolution dated 24 February 2016 on out of Scope Residential Zoning Changes’, at paragraph 10. 31560772:631364 Page 5 authors of those evidence reports have had to carefully consider whether they can appear in support of the Remaining Evidence. They have determined that they cannot. They will accordingly not be called to confirm that evidence. 2.4 We acknowledge therefore that the weight the Panel can give to that evidence is a matter for it to determine. We do however note that the Local Government (Auckland Transitional Provisions) Act 2010 2 enables the Panel, inter alia, to receive any information and advice that is relevant and reasonably necessary to make its recommendations under s144. As such, it would be open to the Panel to consider the Remaining Evidence as such information or advice for several reasons: (a) First, it is submitted that the Remaining Evidence provides a thorough summary of the themes raised in submissions and an analysis of those themes and submission points against the rezoning principles developed by the Council and addressed in Mr Duguid's rezoning evidence. To the extent that that analysis is not challenged in the evidence of submitters, we submit that it is information on which the Panel may decide to place some reliance. We acknowledge that this is a matter for the Panel. (b) Secondly, we are instructed to confirm that the Council itself continues to support the changes described at paragraph 2.2(a) to (c) above. The Remaining Evidence provides details of the zoning proposals for the Business, Rural and FUZ zones, and in scope proposals for the Residential zones, which the Council continues to support (even if the zoning witnesses are not being called). (c) Thirdly, the evidence may be seen by the Panel procedurally as an important reference point, keeping in mind that many submitters may have referred to aspects of it in their subsequent evidence filed in response. 2.5 As set out in the Council’s Memorandum of 29 February 2016, referred to above, the Council has sought leave to withdraw its maps contained in Attachment E of its zoning Evidence Reports, insofar as the maps show proposed Residential Out of Scope zoning changes as a blue outline. The Council has redrawn its maps to only show the matters referred to at paragraph 2.2 above. The revised maps are provided to the Panel separately. 2 Section 138(5). 31560772:631364 Page 6 2.6 It should be noted that there are some instances where the revised maps do not reflect the following: (a) Sites previously zoned Residential in the PAUP and are shown in the revised zoning map as Business zone (out of scope) have not been downzoned to PAUP zoning (a list of these sites will be provided in a separate Attachment entitled "Business/Residential Corrections"); (b) Sites zoned Residential in the PAUP and changed to a non-residential zone as an out of scope change have not been withdrawn from the revised zoning map (such as Large Lot to Future Urban zone). These need to be corrected to revert back to the notified PAUP zone. Presently, we do not have a list of these. It is respectfully proposed that sites falling within this category will be corrected through any final plan provided to the Panel in Counsel’s closing legal submissions; (c) The revised maps do not show changes identified in legal submissions as being in response to submitter evidence. Again, it is respectfully proposed that sites falling within this category will be corrected through any final plan provided to the Panel in Counsel’s closing legal submissions; and (d) The maps do not show errors/anomalies in relation to the underlying zone for the Mill Road precinct where the underlying zone should be shown as Single House zone and not Mixed Housing Suburban zone. 2.7 It is noted that other amendments to the maps have been identified by Council officers when reading submitters’ evidence and to respond fully to the Council's resolution on out of scope residential changes. A list of those matters will be provided in a separate Attachment entitled " Corrections: errors and anomalies". While some of the errors have been mapped, not all have been. Final maps will be provided in closing. 2.8 A brief power point presentation has been prepared for the benefit of the Panel and the submitters which summarises the Council's position on the key zone characteristics and controls for each of the zones. 31560772:631364 Page 7 3. STATUTORY FRAMEWORK 3.1 The legal framework applying to the PAUP under the Local Government (Auckland Transitional Provisions) Act 2010 (LGATPA) will be very familiar to the Panel. The PAUP must be prepared in accordance with Part 4 of the LGATPA and the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA), except the provisions of the RMA that are excluded from applying by, or correspond to, provisions of Part 4 of the LGATPA.3 3.2 In the notified version of the PAUP, depending on the location of the zone, zoning and precincts are either a regional plan or a district plan method. The statutory framework for assessing the merits of the special application of the zones and precincts is set out in sections 30 to 32, 63 to 68 and 72 to 76 of the RMA. These tests are discussed in the strategic planning overview evidence in chief (EIC) of John Duguid on Zoning for Topics 080 and 081,4 and are therefore not repeated here. John Duguid’s EIC on Zoning also sets out the key policies of the New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement (NZCPS) that are relevant to zoning,5 relevant provisions within the Auckland Plan,6 and key sections of the Regional Policy Statement (RPS).7 3.3 The Panel has also released Interim Guidance on Best Practice Approaches to ReZoning and Precincts, dated 31 July 2015, which is relevant to rezoning. 3.4 In terms of the underlying rationale for developing a “zoning technique” or principled approach to zoning, the Environment Court in Keystone Watch Group v The Auckland City Council and Keystone Ridge Limited8 observed that:9 The use of a “zoning technique” is to allow the district plan to create bundles of activities considered generally appropriate in each zone or area, in recognising the constraints of the environment and that some activities may not be appropriate in every location. 4. BACKGROUND TO TOPIC 081 – REZONING 4.1 The overarching rationale and approach towards zoning in the PAUP is discussed in the evidence in chief of John Duguid on Zoning for Topic 080 and 081,10 and in the Council’s legal submissions for Topic 080.11 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Section 121 of LGATPA. John Duguid, EIC on Zoning, at paragraphs 5.2 to 5.11. At paragraph 5.12. At paragraphs 5.13 to 5.23. At paragraph 6.2. RMA 771/99, Decision No. A 7/2001, 11 January 2001. At paragraph 30. John Duguid, EIC on Zoning, at paragraphs 10.1 to 10.12. 31560772:631364 Page 8 4.2 The development of the PAUP provided an opportunity to reduce the size and complexity of Auckland’s zoning framework and ensure greater alignment with the strategic direction of the Auckland Plan and the RPS, in particular, while ensuring that higher density urban growth was accommodated primarily within the existing metropolitan area, within existing centres and on or near frequent transportation routes and stations. Outside the metropolitan area, growth is focussed in greenfield areas that are contiguous with the urban area and satellite towns.12 4.3 In order to facilitate this approach, the notified PAUP establishes regionally consistent zone provisions through the six residential zones, ten business zones, five rural zones, five public open space zones, eleven special purpose zones, seven coastal zones, the Strategic Transport Corridor zone and the Future Urban Zone. Important local characteristics or values are provided for in the PAUP through the application of overlays and precincts. A complete list of the zones proposed in the PAUP is set out in Attachment B of the EIC of John Duguid on Zoning. 4.4 The key elements of the Council’s overarching considerations that have influenced the proposed application of zones have been summarised by John Duguid in his EIC on Zoning as follows:13 (a) Providing for increased housing capacity through the application of the Terrace Housing and Apartment Buildings (THAB) zone and Mixed Housing Urban (MHU) zone within moderate walking distance from centres, the frequent transport network, the rapid transport network or major community facilities and open space; (b) Ensuring that methods included within the PAUP to manage historic character and areas of ecological significance (e.g. overlays) are complemented by the application of a zone (e.g. the Single House Zone (SHZ)) that minimises the potential for a mis-match between the zone and those other methods; (c) Ensuring that the methods included within the PAUP to manage regionally significant views to and between the maunga (e.g. overlays) are 11 12 13 Legal submissions on behalf of Auckland Council in relation to topic 080 Rezoning and Precincts (General) at paragraphs 4.1 to 4.5. John Duguid, EIC on Zoning at paragraph 12.1. At paragraph 12.2. 31560772:631364 Page 9 complemented by the application of a zone that minimises the potential for a mis-match between the zone and those other methods; (d) Limiting growth in unserviced settlements in rural and coastal areas through the application of the Rural Coastal Settlement Zone; (e) Limiting growth in serviced settlements through the application of a zone that will not create undue development pressure such as the SHZ; (f) Recognising and providing for a hierarchy of centres that stems from the Auckland Plan and following the proposed criteria set out in Chapter B3.1 of the RPS when considering the outward expansion of centres; (g) Enabling a sufficient supply of land for industrial activities, particularly land extensive industrial activities and heavy industry, where the scale and intensity of effects anticipated in those zones can be accommodated and managed; (h) Managing reverse sensitivity by considering the interface between the Heavy Industry zone and more intensive residential zones, and generally not ‘upzoning’ within 500m of the Heavy Industry Zone and within the Sensitive Activity Restriction overlay; (i) Managing the impacts on regionally and nationally significant infrastructure, such as the national grid, to ensure they are appropriately protected from incompatible development and reverse sensitivity effects through the application of the SHZ or Mixed Housing zones; (j) In areas subject to significant natural hazard risks, applying a zone that limits the potential for increases in adverse consequences, taking into account the nature of the risks present, development opportunities and the vulnerability of activities; (k) Limiting growth in areas with poor accessibility to the City Centre, Metropolitan, Town and Local Centres, the existing or planned public transport network or large urban facilities, or in areas with significant infrastructure constraints, to ensure there is alignment between land use and 31560772:631364 Page 10 infrastructure provision (e.g. through the application of the SHZ, Large Lot zone or Rural and Coastal Settlement zone); (l) Retaining the Special Purpose School zone for independent and integrated schools and applying a residential or business zone to state schools consistent with the zone applied adjoining or adjacent to the school; (m) Generally applying a Residential or Business zone consistent with the zones applied adjoining or adjacent to the subject site for tertiary education facilities and retirement villages; and (n) Rezoning within the Future Urban zone should generally only occur where necessary to reflect a Special Housing Area variation that has reached the decision stage, or to correct an error (i.e. the land already has a “live” zone in the Council’s operative district plan). 4.5 To ensure that the spatial application of zones gives effect to the RPS and achieves the relevant objectives and policies, a zoning principles matrix was developed and progressively updated. 14 A full list of the proposed PAUP rezoning principles is attached to Mr Duguid’s EIC on zoning at Attachment C. These principles also incorporate the Panel’s best practice approaches to zoning and precincts set out in the Interim Guidance dated 31 July 2015. We also note the Panel’s Interim Guidance dated 1 March 2016 ‘Approach to rezoning and precincts in greenfield areas proposed to come inside the Rural Urban Boundary’. 5. INFRASTRUCTURE 5.1 During the hearing on 3 March 2016, there were several exchanges with the Panel concerning the extent to which decisions as to the appropriate zoning to apply to land can / should be driven by infrastructural considerations, both in terms of: 14 (a) Feasibility; and (b) Considerations of timing and funding. John Duguid, EIC on Zoning, at paragraph 13.1. 31560772:631364 Page 11 5.2 This arose in the context of discussion of the implications of the Panel's interim guidance dated 1 March 2016. 5.3 Our notes record Douglas Allan suggesting that an appropriate approach would be to determine the appropriate zone and that, provided that it was "feasible", infrastructure should essentially be regarded as a secondary consideration – infrastructure would follow zoning. We recall from those exchanges that there was acceptance by the Panel that the feasibility of provision of infrastructure is clearly a factor of relevance. Furthermore, Your Honour agreed that infrastructure must be presently feasible, which would involve some funding and timing matters as well. 5.4 The Panel may be assisted by brief legal submissions on the relevance to zoning decisions of infrastructure, including funding / timing considerations. These are vital matters from the perspective of the Council, representing the community. We provide an overview of the relevant principles below.15 Case Law Principles 5.19 A number of legal principles can be gleaned from existing case law: (a) The provision of services and the existence of infrastructural constraints are clearly relevant considerations in making zoning decisions 16 . Setting feasibility to one side, matters concerning the funding and timing of infrastructure are directly relevant to decisions on the appropriate zoning (and are not secondary considerations)17; (b) It is bad resource management practice and contrary to the purpose of the RMA to zone land for an activity when the infrastructure necessary to allow that activity to occur without adverse effects on the environment does not exist, and there is no commitment to provide it18; (c) 15 16 17 18 19 There is no duty on the Council to commit funds to works / infrastructure19; The issue of the integration of land use and infrastructure has also been addressed in the Council’s legal submissions for Topic 016 RUB North/West and Topic 017 RUB South at paras 5.13 to 5.20, and in the Council’s closing comments for Topic 016 and 017 at paras 15 to 20.

The provision of such services / physical resources (e.g. sewerage systems, stormwater systems and roading), must be achieved at a rate with which the Council representing the community can physically and economically cope21; and (f) The matters recorded above directly engage section 5 of the RMA. They also arise as an issue in terms of section 7(b) of the RMA (the efficient use and development of natural and physical resources). 6. KEY MATTERS ARISING IN RELATION TO TOPIC 081 REZONING Housing New Zealand Evidence 6.1 We refer to the evidence submitted on behalf of Housing New Zealand (HNZ) on rezoning, and note that no rebuttal has been filed by the Council in response to that evidence. The reasons for that are twofold. First, there are fundamental differences between the Council and HNZ in relation to the application of zoning principles, as addressed in the Council’s legal submissions for Topic 080.22 As such, it is not considered that the Panel would be assisted by rebuttal planning evidence on the subject. Secondly, those who would have prepared rebuttal are no longer being called by the Council as witnesses in respect of their primary evidence reports. 6.2 However we observe that two statements of evidence have been filed on HNZ's behalf by Messrs Osborne and Heath addressing economic matters and capacity issues. The second statement was received on 2 March 2016 and there has not been time, given Dr Fairgray's commitments, to providing further evidence on capacity issues for him to fully consider and respond to the evidence. It is likely that rebuttal evidence will be filed and we respectfully seek the Panel's indulgence to file that rebuttal at a later time. 20 21 22 National Investment Trust v Christchurch City Council C41/2005. Bell v Central Otago District Council C4/97. At paragraphs 7.3 to 7.15. 31560772:631364 Page 13 6.3 Despite seeking and obtaining an extension from the Panel to file their evidence on 15 February (rather than 10 February), evidence continued to be received from HNZ up until 4 March, which has made it extremely difficult to consider that evidence and determine whether the Council could assist the Panel in advising on key areas of difference. That work has been occurring as these submissions have been prepared and out of necessity has been undertaken at a high level. We provide the observations of Council officers later in these submissions. Out of Scope Zoning Changes for Business, Rural and FUZ Areas 6.4 As discussed at paragraphs 2.2 and 2.4(b) above, the Council continues to support the out of scope zoning proposals for the Business, Rural and FUZ zones. The Panel may make recommendations to the Council on matters which are outside the scope of the submissions received.23 It has however indicated that the exercise of this power is also subject to a general requirement to act in accordance with the principles of natural justice (and in particular the principle of hearing both sides of an issue).24 6.5 We record that there are rights of appeal to the Environment Court in respect of provisions or matters relating to the PAUP in certain limited circumstances. Submitters may appeal in relation to a matter addressed in their submission, but only where, and to the extent that, the Council rejected the Panel's recommendation.25 However, any person (not necessarily a submitter) may appeal in relation to a recommendation which the Panel had identified as beyond the scope of submissions, if the Council accepted the recommendation (by either excluding or including it in the plan) and the person "is, was, or will be unduly prejudiced by the inclusion of the provision or exclusion of the matter."26 6.6 In addition to these appeal rights, the normal right of judicial review is expressly preserved, subject to section 296 of the RMA which requires any appeal rights to be exercised first.27 23 24 25 26 27 Section 144(5) of the Local Government (Auckland Transitional Provisions) Act 2020 (the LGATPA).

REQUESTS TO “LIVE” URBAN ZONE FUTURE URBAN ZONED LAND 7.1 During the hearing on 3 March 2016, Richard Brabant raised what he termed a "fundamental issue" in relation to the Panel's Interim Guidance of 1 March 2016 about the "Approach to rezoning and precincts in greenfields areas proposed to come inside the Rural Urban Boundary." 7.2 Mr Brabant did not accept that there is a need for submitters who are seeking to rezone Future Urban land to a 'live' urban zone through the PAUP submissions process to undertake a separate and subsequent structure planning and plan change exercise. In support of this, Mr Brabant referred to the Environment Court's decision in Omaha Park Limited v Rodney District Council.28 7.3 Our notes record that Judge Kirkpatrick stated that he accepted the core of what Mr Brabant was saying. Judge Kirkpatrick also noted that the matters in RPS Appendix 1.1, which provide the structure plan requirements for future urban zoned greenfield land, set out the types of things (to the extent they are relevant) that need to be considered when considering whether Future Urban zoned land should be rezoned. 7.4 The issue arises in this case because of the proposed provisions of the PAUP RPS Chapter 2.3 Development capacity and supply for urban development. These RPS provisions envisage that the rezoning of Future Urban land will occur via the preparation of a structure plan and plan change (see for example B2.3 Policies 2, 3, and 4). 7.5 The Council has considered the implications of the Omaha Park Limited decision. One of the matters at issue in that case was whether an appeal to the then proposed Rodney District Plan constituted "a similar mechanism" to the structure planning process. A structure plan or similar mechanism was anticipated by Method 2.6.2(8) of the operative Auckland Regional Policy Statement (ARPS) in circumstances where significant new areas were proposed for urban development. 7.6 The Environment Court agreed with the submissions of counsel for Omaha Park Limited that the RMA specifically provides for parties to promote changes to a plan during the submissions process. 28 The Court noted that that clearly includes the Decision No. [2010] NZEnvC265. 31560772:631364 Page 15 power to seek re-zoning, and in fact privately promoted plan changes are explicitly provided for in addition to those rights of submission.29 7.7 The Environment Court in Omaha Park Limited concluded that the right to promote an urban area as part of a plan change, even on a privately promoted plan change, must be preserved. Accordingly, it considered that an appeal on plan provisions such as it was addressing must constitute a 'similar mechanism' for the purpose of the ARPS 2.6.2 Method 8.30 7.8 The issue before the Environment Court in Omaha Park Limited was slightly different to the issue of whether Future Urban zoned land in the PAUP, can be rezoned to a PAUP urban zone through the PAUP submissions process as requested by submitters. In this regard, the PAUP RPS provisions are arguably more directive about the use of a structure plan and plan change process to rezone Future Urban zoned land. 7.9 That said, the PAUP RPS provisions also recognise the principle that land should be rezoned following the preparation of a structure plan by either the Council, the private sector, or public private sector partnership in accordance with Appendix 1.1 (see B2.3 Policy 4 a). Of relevance to this, it has always been the Council's position that private plan changes to rezone Future Urban zoned land can be advanced where the provisions of B2.3 are given effect to and the other statutory criteria of the RMA for plan changes are met31. 7.10 Against this background, the Council considers that the principle discussed by the Environment Court Omaha Park Limited decision that the RMA specifically provides for parties to promote changes to a plan including rezoning changes during the submission process, is pertinent to the issue of submissions seeking to rezone Future Urban zone land to a PAUP urban zone. 7.11 In the circumstances, the Council agrees with Mr Brabant that submitter requests to 'live' zone can be determined by the Panel during the hearing of submissions on the PAUP. However, the Council is strongly of the view that in order to be successful 29 30 31 Decision No. [2010] NZEnvC265, at [66]. Decision No. [2010] NZEnvC265, at [67]. See Michael Tucker, supplementary evidence for Topic 013 Urban Growth at [2.6] and Closing Statement and Points of Clarification on behalf of Auckland Council in relation to Topic 013 RPS Urban Growth Sections B2.1, B2.2, B2.3, B2.5 and Appendix 1.1. 31560772:631364 Page 16 any such proposal must give effect to the relevant PAUP RPS provisions and otherwise achieve the statutory criteria of the RMA. 7.12 In this regard, the Council particularly notes the requirement of B2.3 Objective 4 that the development of land zoned future urban within the RUB occurs in a staged, timely and integrated manner aligned with the provision of infrastructure. 7.13 The Council also draws attention to B2.3 Policies 3 and 4. B2.3 Policy 4 is to stage the structure planning and rezoning of Future Urban zoned land having regard to the Council's Future Urban Land Supply Strategy and to enable coordinated and efficient provision of infrastructure within the RUB according to the following principles: (a) land should be rezoned following the preparation of a structure plan by either the council, the private sector, or public sector partnership in accordance with Appendix 1.1 (b) rezoning should occur in a logical and integrated sequence, and aligned with the provision of infrastructure that is planned and has identified funding (including significant infrastructure) (c) new urban growth within the RUB should be immediately adjacent to existing urban land unless the separation is necessary to: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) 7.14 Avoid, remedy or mitigate significant conflict between activities Ensure the efficient provision of infrastructure including transport Take account of the typography and other physical constraints Avoid the areas outlined in Policy 3 (d) there is sufficient development capacity and land supply for both business and residential growth in each sector i.e. north, west and south (e) the location and quantity of development capacity being released at any one time will have regard to the scale and economies of servicing and developing the land (f) achieves a quality compact urban form and a range of housing choices for the area (g) the ability to enable housing that is more affordable to households on low to moderate incomes. Apart from requiring structure planning to rezone Future Urban zoned land in the RUB, B2.3 Policy 3 lists where urban development should be avoided where practicable. This includes within: (a) Areas with significant environmental, heritage, nature character or landscape values including land governed by the Waitakere Ranges Heritage Area Act; 31560772:631364 Page 17 (b) Scheduled sites and places of significance to Mana Whenua; (c) Areas of significant mineral resources; (d) Close proximity to existing or planned significant infrastructure sensitive to residential activities; 7.15 (e) Land affected by coastal inundation and projected sea level rise; and (f) Areas prone to natural hazards. In light of these RPS provisions, the Council agrees with Judge Kirkpatrick that Appendix 1.1 sets out the type of matters that need to be taken into account where proposals to rezone Future Urban zone land are under consideration. In effect the information provided by a submitter should be of a structure plan standard providing a clear picture of what is proposed and, addressing where relevant, the matters in RPS Appendix 1.1. 7.16 The Council further notes that it is aware of a number of proposals to rezone Future Urban land advanced by submitters in evidence involving what it would term medium to large scale development. Amongst these are a proposal for precincts and live urban zoning of Future Urban zoned land at Wainui East and Silverdale West (Wilks Road 2014 Limited and Redvale Quarries Limited). The Council's position is that this type of proposal does not give effect to the RPS or otherwise meet the statutory criteria of the RMA. 7.17 In some cases there appears to have been little engagement by submitters with stakeholders. This may mean there is no assurance that proposals are aligned with the provision of infrastructure that is planned and has identified funding as envisaged by B2.3 objective 4 and policy 4(b). In a number of cases we are instructed that there have been no or scant discussions with AT, the New Zealand Transport Agency, Watercare or the Council's stormwater unit about how core infrastructure will be provided. 31560772:631364 Page 18 8. REQUESTS TO REZONE RURAL LAND TO COUNTRYSIDE LIVING ZONE 8.1 The Council’s submissions and evidence for Topic 011 RPS Rural (Topic 011) and Topics 056 and 057 Rural Objectives and Policies, and Rural Activities and Controls (Topic 056 and 057) have previously explained that the approach of the PAUP is to predominantly direct rural lifestyle living to areas identified for countryside living. In the PAUP district plan these comprise the PAUP Countryside Living zones and a number of precincts, usually with an underlying Countryside Living zoning. 8.2 The Council has received a substantial number of requests from submitters for rural land to be rezoned from other PAUP rural zones to the Countryside living zone. 8.3 A number of factors have influenced the Council’s approach to formulating its position on submitters' Countryside living zone requests. These include the provisions of Chapter 9 Rural of the Auckland Plan including strategic direction 9, which provides “Keep rural Auckland productive, protected and environmentally sound”. 8.4 As was also discussed in the Council’s legal submissions and Barry Mosley’s evidence for Topics 056 and 057, the Auckland Plan anticipates less than 10,000 additional dwellings in Countryside Living zones and other rural areas outside rural and coastal towns and villages in the 30 year period between 2012 and 2041.32 8.5 This means that the rural areas outside of the town and villages are not identified for significant growth and inclusion of large areas for countryside living in the PAUP would undermine the Auckland Plan's growth strategy as well as the strategic policy direction to keep rural Auckland productive, protected and environmentally sound. Where countryside living areas are provided, the Auckland Plan states that these areas should be close to rural towns and urban areas.33 8.6 The strategic policy approach of the Auckland Plan to the rural areas is reflected in the PAUP RPS Chapter B8 provisions. As with the Auckland Plan, the provisions of Chapter B8 of the RPS make it clear that the PAUP's rural strategy would be undermined if significant swathes of the rural areas were to be utilised for rural lifestyle purposes at the expense of rural production activities and other activities that require a rural location. 32 33 Auckland Plan, Section D Auckland's High Level Development Strategy, Figure 6 at page 56. Auckland Plan, Chapter 9 Rural Auckland at page 234. 31560772:631364 Page 19 8.7 Among the matters highlighted in the PAUP RPS is the need for land subdivision not to undermine the productive potential of rural land and to avoid, remedy or mitigate adverse effects on biodiversity, landscape values, rural character and amenity (see for example B8.3 Objective 1). The Chapter B8 provision of most relevance to the identification of countryside living areas is Policy 6 in B8.3 Rural Subdivision. That provides: Manage the location, scale, density and extent of areas identified for countryside living to: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) (g) 8.8 avoid areas that would undermine the integrity of the RUB or compromise the expansion of the satellite towns of Warkworth and Pukekohe, and rural and coastal towns and villages avoid areas of identified high natural values and elite and prime land avoid areas that would constrain the operation of existing mineral extraction activities or access to known and accessible future resources maintain and enhance landscape, rural character and amenity values provide opportunities for future intensification and retrofitting of services within the identified area, including opportunities to be receiver areas for transferable rural site subdivision avoid the potential for reverse sensitivity effects that could hinder the continued operation or growth of existing rural activities, or the establishment of new rural activities. safeguard the operation, maintenance, upgrading or development of existing or planned significant infrastructure. The Council has also been aware of the need to ensure that adequate receiver sites in the Countryside Living zones are available to facilitate Transferable Rural Site Subdivision (TRSS). As the Panel will recall this was a matter raised by a number of submitters during the Topics 056 and 057 hearing. 8.9 Kyle Balderston's modelling evidence for Topics 056 and 057 suggested that under the Council's proposed rural subdivision provisions, a minimum of approximately 3380 TRSS donor sites could be generated and that there was a receiver capacity of approximately 1754 sites in the Countryside Living zones. 8.10 Bearing in mind these figures represented plan-enabled capacity only and it is not possible to know how many land owners will in the future take up TRSS opportunities, the Council's planning witness, Mr Mosley was of the opinion that the potential donor supply and receiver capacity for TRSS were appropriately aligned. Mr Mosley considered that it was not necessary to identify additional receiver areas outside of 31560772:631364 Page 20 the Countryside Living zones or Serviced Villages at that stage34. The Council's closing remarks for Topics 056 and 057 indicated that the issue would be reviewed in later PAUP hearing topics such as Topic 081.35 8.11 Since the Topics 056 and 057 hearing, the Topic 016 RUB North/West (Topic 016) hearing has taken place. In its evidence for Topic 016, the Council has proposed that part of the South Rodney area that was previously zoned Countryside Living in the PAUP be brought within the RUB and rezoned Future Urban zone (Topic 016 evidence of Dave Paul in respect of the Dairy Flat Area). The Council has calculated that this has resulted in the loss of approximately 205 potential TRSS receiver sites. 8.12 Against this background, the Council's position for this hearing is that it is appropriate to identify some new areas for Countryside Living zoning in response to submitters but only where the statutory criteria are achieved including, the need to give effect to RPS B8.3 Policy 6. As well as meeting the statutory criteria for rezoning the identification of these additional Countryside Living zones will ensure that at this stage there is a reasonable supply36 of receiver sites for TRSS. This is the principal reason for the Council’s proposal to rezone some areas to Countryside Living. 8.13 In total the Council proposes to rezone approximately 1300 hectares of rural land in the north of the region to Countryside Living zone. The areas proposed to be rezoned are identified on maps Rodney Rural (R5, R6), Wellsford (R1), and Dairy Flat (R12) and include: (a) An area between Kahikatea Flats Rd and Pine Valley Rd to the south-west of Silverdale currently zoned Mixed Rural; (b) An area to the west of Orewa currently zoned Rural Production; (c) An area to the north-west of Puhoi between J. Turnwald and Ahuroa Rds, currently zoned Rural Production; (d) 34 35 36 Several areas around Wellsford, currently zoned Rural Production; Rebuttal evidence, Barry Mosley, Topics 056 and 057, at [4.48]. Closing remarks on behalf of Auckland Council in relation to Topic 057 Rural activities and controls (Rural Subdivision) at [6.5]. The Council's estimate is that together with the TRSS receiver site opportunities proposed by Mr Mosley in his Topic 081 evidence about the Runciman precinct, this will result in approximately 645 additional potential TRSS subdivision opportunities. 31560772:631364 Page 21 8.14 (e) An area to the north of Warkworth currently zoned Rural Production; and (f) An area to the east of Helensville currently zoned Rural Production. The Council also notes that its approach to dealing with submitters' requests to rezone land to the Countryside Living zone, including where it is the Council's position not to support these requests, is in some cases supported by the landscape evidence of Stephen Brown and the land and soil science evidence of Dr Fiona Curran-Cournane. 9. REQUESTS TO REZONE FROM LIGHT INDUSTRY TO OTHER BUSINESS ZONES 9.1 A number of submissions seek to rezone Light Industry zoned land to another Business zone, usually General Business or Mixed Use. These requests have been addressed in the Remaining Evidence, the rebuttal planning evidence of Mr Wyatt and the rebuttal economic evidence of Mr Nunns. Matters raised in submitter evidence are also addressed later in these submissions. 9.2 These types of rezoning requests relate to matters raised by the Panel during the hearing held for Topic 051-054 Centre Zones, Business Park and Industry zones, Business activities and Business controls. Economic Report 9.3 At the conclusion of the Topic 051-054 hearing, on 11 September 2015, the Panel asked a number of questions of the Council's economists, Ms Fairgray and Mr Akehurst. The questions required further economic analysis with a focus on the Light Industry zone (Economic Report). The Panel indicated that the information was sought to assist with determining both the Business zone provisions and rezoning requests. 9.4 In summary the Panel's questions related to the following matters: (a) The proportion of existing activities in the Light Industry zone on the spectrum from light industrial production to commercial activities; and 31560772:631364 Page 22 (b) The demand / supply balance for the types of activities provided for in the Light Industry zone. 9.5 By memorandum of counsel dated 5 October 2015 the Council lodged a detailed outline of the Economic Report proposed by Ms Fairgray and Mr Akehurst to address the questions asked by the Panel. 9.6 The Panel subsequently requested that the Council lodge a revised outline for the Economic Report, to clarify the scope of work. As this revised document was being prepared, the Panel issued a memorandum on 5 November 2015, which summarised the outputs sought by the Panel. The Council lodged a revised outline for the Economic Report with the Panel by memorandum of counsel dated 10 November 2015. Progress with the Economic Report 9.7 Producing the Economic Report has involved more work and taken longer than anticipated. This was partly due to delays in settling the Council's proposed zones which prevented the running of the Capacity for Growth (CfGS) model, and the field work required was also time consuming. However good progress has been made towards completing the Economic Report. 9.8 In particular, forecasting, data analysis and modelling tasks have generally been completed. The outstanding tasks relate to report drafting, analysis of current capacity, and comparison of land demand to capacity. These matters are currently being worked on and the Economic Report will be delivered to the Panel on or before 18 March 2016 (this date allows for a short period of review by the Council before the Economic Report is lodged with the Panel). Approach to Rezoning Requests 9.9 As mentioned above, there are a number of submissions seeking rezoning from Light Industry to General Business or Mixed Use. These zones are generally sought to enable more commercial activities on land proposed to be zoned Light Industry. As explained in the rebuttal evidence of Mr Wyatt, while rezoning to another Business zone is one method of enabling more commercial activity within light industry areas, the Council has proposed two further methods. These are the "grandfathering clause" and the Identified Growth Corridor mechanism. Both were addressed 31560772:631364 Page 23 through Topic 051-054 Centre Zones, Business park and industries zones, Business activities and Business Controls. 9.10 Mr Wyatt's rebuttal evidence specifically addresses rezoning requests at Wairau Valley, Barry's Point Road and Lunn Avenue. Similar issues arise when determining other requests seeking rezoning from Light Industry to General Business or Mixed Use but not all such requests have been addressed by Mr Wyatt. 9.11 The Economic Report may assist with determining the Light Industry rezoning requests to some extent, particularly by answering questions about the mix of existing activities and the supply of land for commercial activities.37 However, in our submission the following key matters, which are generally referred to in Mr Wyatt's evidence, should not be overlooked when considering rezoning requests for Light Industry zoned land: (a) The Mixed Use zone provisions enable residential development up to 18 m in height; therefore zones adjacent to, and activities within, proposed Mixed Use zones should be compatible with residential activities; (b) The General Business zone enables large format retail which requires careful consideration of potential effects on the function, role and amenity of centres in accordance with B3.1 of the RPS; (c) Demand for industrial floorsapce is expected to grow over the life of the plan and rezoning from Light Industry may compromise land supply for industrial uses; (d) Some established light industry areas have a lower level of amenity (i.e. functional amenity) than anticipated in the General Business zone or Mixed Use zone; and (e) Careful consideration should be given to how proposed rezoning to General Business or Mixed Use will affect the safe and efficient operation of the transport network. 37 The supply of commercially zoned land has also been addressed in the Council's evidence on Topic 013 (B3.1) RPS Urban Growth (B3.1 Commercial and Industrial Growth) and Topic 051-054 Centre Zones, Business park and industries zones, Business activities and Business Controls. 31560772:631364 Page 24 PART B – REZONING GEOGRAPHICAL AREAS 10.

DATED at Auckland this day of March 2016 M J L Dickey/ / D K Hartley / T Fischer / M C Allan / J Hassall Counsel for the Auckland Council 31560772:631364 1. TOPIC 081b – REZONING AND PRECINCTS (RODNEY) INTRODUCTION 1.1 The sub-region of Rodney is largely made up of the boundaries of the former Rodney District. It incorporates the entire Rodney Local Board area, and the northern part of the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board area. The area comprises over 2,400 square kilometres. On the east coast it stretches from the northern most point of the Council boundary below Mangawhai, southward to the northern side of the Okura Estuary. On the west coast it stretches from Te Tapora Peninsula southward to Te Henga (south of Muriwai).1 1.2 In the Rodney area, there have been 696 submission points received on rezoning requests. These are broken down into the sub-areas as follows: (a) Wellsford – 9; (b) Warkworth/Snells Beach – 109; (c) Kumeu – 140; (d) Rodney Rural – 223; (e) Helensville/Parakai – 39; (f) Hibiscus Coast – 106; (g) Dairy Flat - 52; and (h) Okura – 18. EVIDENCE TO BE CALLED 1.3 The Council intends to call the following witnesses: (a) Robert Hillier (geotechnical) – Shoesmith Street, Warkworth (b) Claudia Hellberg and Katja Huls (stormwater) – Wainui East and Silverdale West) (c) Christopher Allen (Watercare Services Limited) (d) Alastair Lovell - (Auckland Transport) - Wainui East and Silverdale West) (e) Andrew Beer - (public open space) - Wainui East and Silverdale West) (f) Claudia Hellberg and Nicholas Vigar - (stormwater) – Okura (g) Martin Neale - (freshwater ecology) – Okura 1 Statement of Evidence of Peter Vari on behalf of Auckland Council dated 28 January 2016, Rodney – Sub-Regional Overview, at para 7.3. Attach - Rezoning - 081b Rodney - 8.3.16.docx Page 2 (h) Andrew Murray – (transport) - Poplar Lane CHANGES TO COUNCIL POSITION Coatesville, Riverhead and Kumeu – Submissions seeking rezoning to Countryside Living including Mike Wood, C Zambucka, Coatesville Rezoning Group Inc, Kevin Lorigan and Toby Mandeno (submission # FS2554, 4844, 7142, 3805 and 6424) Council position 1.4 Evidence on behalf of a number of submitters proposes that areas around Coatesville, Riverhead and Kumeu be rezoned from the notified Rural Production zone to Countryside Living zone. The Council does not support Countryside Living zone in these locations. However the Council proposes a change from Countryside Living zone to Mixed Rural zone. Reasons 1.5 The Council supports a change from Rural Production to Mixed Rural for the following reasons: (a) Rural Production zone is not a good fit with these areas because it anticipates large properties and low intensity settlement; (b) The Mixed Rural zone better reflects these areas as it anticipates smaller rural sites, a history of horticulture, and existing residents who use their land for rural lifestyle purposes; and (c) Applying the requested Countryside Living zone would result in the loss of prime land, adverse landscape effects, and would be inconsistent with the compact city approach. Huapai North – Michael Coote, Patricks Bay, C&R Properties, and Awatea Brothers Limited (submission # 6512, 603, 6522, FS670) Council position 31560772:631364 Page 3 1.6 The evidence of Dr Bellingham on behalf of Michael Coote and others are seeking a rezoning of the Large Lot zone (as it applies to sub-precinct C in the Huapai North precinct) to Single House zone. The Large Lot zone does not appropriately reflect this area in Huapai North. The Council position is that the Single House zoning for Huapai North may be more appropriate provided that the additional subdivision control requiring the minimum site size to be 1,500m2 (as addressed in Mr Bradley's evidence for the Huapai North precinct). Reasons 1.7 The objectives and policies of the Large Lot zone, relate primarily to sites within areas that are not reticulated, or have other physical limitations. This area on the periphery of Huapai North does not reflect the Large Lot zone objectives and policies. 1.8 The Council considers that applying the Large Lot zone in this particular location is inconsistent with that zone's description and objectives. A rezoning from Large Lot zone to Single House zone is appropriate, provided that the additional subdivision control requiring the minimum site size to be 1,500m2 is also retained. Retaining this control will mean that there will be no material change to site sizes within this area. ISSUES ARISING FROM SUBMITTER EVIDENCE 289 & 291 Sharp Rd, Sandspit – Submission by Estate D A Aley (submission # 3286) Council position 1.9 Evidence on behalf of Estate D A Aley proposes to rezone the site from Mixed Rural to Large Lot i.e. that the Large Lot zone be extended over the entire site at the northern edge of the settlement. In response to the submitter's evidence, the Council agrees that the site should be zoned Large Lot. Consequential changes to the Rodney Landscape precinct (sub-precinct C) are also proposed by the Council. Reasons 31560772:631364 Page 4 1.10 The Council considers rezoning the site from the notified Mixed Rural to Large Lot appropriate because it is supported by landscape evidence. The consequential precinct changes proposed by the Council will ensure that the subdivision and development of this land reinforces the urban edge of Sandspit (rather than setting up the land to the north for further urban development). These changes are addressed in the rebuttal evidence on the Rodney Landscape precinct by Dave Paul. Hatfields Beach precinct – Various submissions Council position 1.11 The evidence provided by various submitters sought a number of changes to the Hatfields precinct and underlying zoning proposed by the Council. In particular, submitters sought a Countryside Living zone for the Hatfields Beach/Waiwera area. The Council's position is that the notified Rural Coastal zoning should be retained. Reasons 1.12 The reasons for the retention of the notified zoning were addressed in detail in the rebuttal evidence on the Hatfields Beach precinct by Nathan Te Pairi and need not be addressed further here. Waiwera precinct – Various submissions Council position 1.13 In response to evidence provided by submitters a number of changes to the Waiwera precinct and underlying zones are proposed by the Council. The relevant changes relate to business and residential zoning. Reasons 1.14 The reasons for the proposed changes were addressed in detail in the rebuttal evidence on the Waiwera precinct by Rachel Morgan and need not be addressed further here. 31560772:631364 Page 5 8, 165 187, 217, Wainui Road – Submission by Highgate Business Park (submission # 5736) Council position 1.15 Planning evidence from Alistair White on behalf of the Highgate Business Park proposes to rezone the site from the notified Single House zone to Mixed Housing Urban zone. The Council's position is that the notified Single House zoning should be retained for the site. Reasons 1.16 All of the residential part of the Silverdale North precinct is zoned Single House and the rules require that most of the development is required to be on sites greater than 650m2. The precinct requires a certain percentage to be higher density development. In the rest of the Silverdale North area there are areas of higher density development and these are not zoned or requested to be zoned higher density zones. In the Council's view, to rezone the land Mixed Housing Urban would create a spot zone, or in this case a strip of Mixed Housing Urban between the Silverdale North sub-precinct B (Single House zone) and sub-precinct A (General Business zone). The MHU zone with no density control, would also enable a greater density of development than enabled by sub-precinct B, which would not be consistent with the objectives and policies of the precinct. 165 Wainui Road – Submission by Colin Chester (submission # 6591) Council position 1.17 Planning evidence from Shane Hartley on behalf of Colin Chester proposes to rezone the site at 165 Wainui Road from the notified Single House zone to Mixed Housing Urban zone. The Council's position is that the notified Single House zoning should be retained for the site. Reasons 1.18 The Council considers that retaining the Single House zone does not preclude it being developed for higher density development because the Silverdale North precinct, sub-precinct B requires a mix of densities and site sizes. 31560772:631364 Page 6 1.19 Nor does the Council support the request to rezone that part of the site zoned General Business to a residential zone. Mr Hartley considers that the split zoning does not sit comfortably with the existing site boundaries. However, the Council considers that the depth of the residential zone along Wainui Road is fairly consistent and rezoning all of the site would introduce an anomaly and result in residential development intruding further into the business land. The area of business land involved is approximately 4,000m2 and with a minimum site size of 400m2 for the General Business zone, provides opportunities for development. Rezoning the General Business portion of the site residential is also an erosion of the supply of business land in the area. Silverdale North – Submission by Stride Holdings Ltd (formerly DNZ Property Fund Limited) (submission # 3863) Council position 1.20 The planning evidence of Jennifer Carvill on behalf of Stride Holdings Ltd sought rezoning from General Business to Light Industry in sub-precinct A and rezoning from Neighbourhood Centre to Business Park or Light Industry in sub-precinct D3. The Council does not support the proposed rezoning in these sub-precincts. Reasons 1.21 The Council does not support the rezoning from General Business to Light Industry in sub-precinct A. The Council considers that the General Business zone combined with sub-precinct A, best deliver the outcomes that are sought by the sub-precinct. This is because the General Business zone includes polices that more generally align with the policies of sub-precinct A. 1.22 The Council also does not support the rezoning from Neighbourhood Centre to Business Park or Light Industry in sub-precinct D3. Rather, the Council considers that the underlying zone for sub-precinct D3 should be rezoned from Neighbourhood Centre (as notified) to Local Centre. 31560772:631364 Page 7 1.23 The Council considers that this rezoning is appropriate because the centre is more aligned with the objectives and policies of the Local Centre zone, which aims to provide for the local convenience needs of surrounding residents including a wide range of small scale commercial and retail activities including a smaller scale supermarket. The Council also considers that due to the 4 hectare size of the centre, a Local Centre zoning is more appropriate. 1 Poplar Lane Whangaparaoa – Submission by the Poplar Trust (submission # 6595) Council position 1.24 The planning evidence of Shane Hartley on behalf of the Poplar Trust seeks Terrace Housing and Apartment Buildings zoning for the property at 1 Poplar Lane, Whangaparaoa. The Council's position is that the notified Light Industry zoning should be retained for the property. Reasons 1.25 The Council does not support rezoning the site from Light Industry to THAB because given the location of the site, it will not achieve the objectives of the THAB zone. 1.26 The transport evidence of Donald McKenzie on behalf of the Poplar Trust suggests that from a transportation perspective, the submitters land is suitable for inclusion within the THAB zone. However, the transport evidence of Andrew Murray on behalf of the Council considers that the effects of the extra development at the site are likely to be felt over a much wider area than the immediate access, or require a much more substantial change in the network.2 Okura Long Bay precinct – Various submissions Council position 1.27 In response to evidence provided by submitters, and discussions held with some of the submitters, a number of changes to the Long Bay precinct and underlying zones are proposed by the Council. The relevant changes relate to residential zoning. 2 Rebuttal evidence of Andrew Murray on behalf of the Council, dated 26 February 2016 at [4.18.3]. 31560772:631364 Page 8 Reasons 1.28 The reasons for the proposed changes were addressed in detail in the rebuttal evidence on the Long Bay precinct by David Mead and need not be addressed further here. 55 Waimauku Station Road – John and Gillian Woods (submission # 6200) Council position 1.29 The evidence of Graham Parfitt on behalf of this submitter supports this submitter's request for the rezoning of this site from Single House, to Mixed Use zone. The Council position is opposed to this request, and considers that the Rural Coastal Settlement zone for this property is appropriate. 1.30 Mr Parfitt states that the site is located close to a Town Centre and Rapid and Frequent Service Network (RFN). Mr Parfitt appears to suggest in his evidence that the spot zoning of this site, to a Mixed Use zone, would be the best planning outcome. The Council disagrees with these views. Reasons 1.31 This site is not located near a Town Centre. The Local Centre in Waimauku however, is 200 metres away. There is no RFN in the vicinity of this site. While the site may be near the general transport infrastructure of State Highway 16 and the railway, there is no access to public transport. This site is also within a settlement that does not have access to a reticulated community wastewater service. This poses a constraint to any proposed upzoning to a Mixed Use zone. 1.32 Finally, the Council does not agree with Mr Parfitt's evidence regarding the appropriateness of spot zoning. Having regard to the Panel's Interim Guidance "Best practice approaches to re-zoning, precincts and changes to the Rural Urban Boundary (RUB)", the Council considers that spot zoning should be avoided in this case. The rezoning sought by this submitter for this site is not appropriate given the site's existing infrastructure constraints and the Council considers that the Rural Coastal settlement zone is the most appropriate zone in respect of this site. 31560772:631364 Page 9 Various properties in Waimauku, including on and west of Wintour Road and on Freshfields Road – Waimauku United Landowners Limited (submission # 6937-1), Julius Yang (submission # 4382-1), Craig Booth (submission # 6781-1), John Francis (submission # 7078-2) and Michael Ward (submission # 6812-1) Council position 1.33 The planning evidence of Vern Warren on behalf of these submitters supports a change in zoning from the notified Mixed Rural zone to a Single House zone for various properties in Waimauku. The Council considers that the Rural Coastal Settlement zone for properties in Waimauku is appropriate and should be applied. Reasons 1.34 Mr Warren states in his evidence that the Rural Coastal Settlement zone minimum lot size of 2,500m2 is a 'mismatch' with the historical subdivision patterns in Waimauku. The Council considers that the minimum site size has been set in light of on-site wastewater provision rather than a mismatch as Mr Warren suggests. This particular matter, namely the lot sizes for on-site wastewater disposal systems is addressed in the wastewater engineering evidence (Density in the Rural and Coastal Settlement zones) of Mr Ormiston in Topics 059, 060, 062 and 063. Furthermore, the minimum lot size for subdivision within the Rural Coastal Settlement zone is proposed to be reduced from 4,000m2 to 2,500m2. 1.35 These properties within Waimauku are in an unserviced settlement. One of the Council's zoning principles is to limit growth in unserviced settlements in rural and coastal areas through the application of the Rural Coastal Settlement zone. The Council's proposed approach best gives effect to the objectives of the RPS, and is more appropriate than the Single House zone sought by these submitters. 39-43 Percy Street, Warkworth – Submitter: General Trust Board of the Anglican Diocese of Auckland (#8982-11) Council position 1.36 The evidence of Clare Covington seeks Mixed Use zoning for the properties. The Council's position is that the notified Single House zone should be retained for the properties. Reasons 31560772:631364 Page 10 1.37 The submitter's evidence mistakenly says that the operative Auckland Council District Plan (Rodney Section) zoning of this land is Mixed Business. The operative plan zoning is however Residential M which is a similar zoning to the PAUP Single House zone. The application of the Single House zone is appropriate in light of the location of the land and the adjacent low density residential development reflective of the Single House zone. Retention of the Single House Zone is the most appropriate way to achieve the objectives of the Single House zone and gives effect to the RPS. Land at Shoesmith Street, Warkworth (Lot 1DP 207145) – Submitter: 32 Church Street Family Trust (32830-1) Council Position 1.38 The submitter has lodged a range of expert evidence in support of the rezoning of approximately 5.95 hectares of land at Shoesmith Street from the Large Lot zone to the Mixed Housing Suburban zone. The Council's position is that the Large Lot zone should be retained. Reasons 1.39 The rebuttal geotechnical evidence of Robert Hillier on behalf of the Council responds to the geotechnical evidence of Richard Knowles on behalf of the submitter. The rebuttal evidence of Mr Hillier indicates that the site encompasses a significant natural hazard landslide risk. Mr Hillier states that the hazard has been identified by desk studies and proven by site specific investigations and analyses. From a geotechnical perspective it is Mr Hillier's opinion that the site is commercially and technically challenged and presents significant development risks to the developer and third parties. In my Hillier's view, a large lot development on the site would reduce the exposure to the landslide hazard. 1.40 In addition the land is only accessible from the minor road network, is not proximate to the main center of Warkworth and is unable to be serviced by the wastewater network in the short to medium term. 1.41 In light of these considerations retention of the notified zoning is the most appropriate way to achieve the objectives of the Large Lot zone and gives effect to the RPS. Land bounded by the Great North Road, Goatley Road and the A & P Showgrounds – Submitters Goatley Holdings, Stellan Trust and Stevenson Family Trust (#7025-1) 31560772:631364 Page 11 Council position 1.42 The submitters seek the rezoning of approximately 61.5 hectares of land at the northern end of Warkworth from Future Urban zone to a live urban Light Industry zone. The Council's position is that the Future Urban zone should be retained. Reasons 1.43 The planning evidence of Shane Hartley attaches a "structure plan" prepared on behalf of the three landowners. It only includes assessment of business and industrial land requirements, traffic impacts, civil engineering and geotechnical matters and ecological values. 1.44 The Council does not support the rezoning given that the limited matters addressed and consultation with stakeholders appears to be limited. The proposal would locate more traffic intensive uses close to the proposed extension of the motorway (which the FULSS indicates will not be constructed until 2022) and western bypass intersections. It is also based on a bypass route which has yet to be confirmed. 1.45 Retention of the Future Urban zone gives effect to the RPS, in particular the objectives and policies of Chapter B2.3 and is the most appropriate way to achieve the objectives of the Future Urban zone. Land accessed from Valerie Close – Submitter Valerie Close Residents Group (#5154) Council Position 1.46 The planning evidence of James Hook on behalf of the Valerie Close Residents Group requests live urban zoning of approximately 75 hectares of land accessed from Valerie Close, south west of Warkworth that is identified as Future Urban zoned land in the PAUP as notified. The zones sought are the Single House, Mixed Housing Suburban and Neighbourhood Centre zones. The Council's position is that the Future Urban zone should be retained. Reasons 31560772:631364 Page 12 1.47 In his evidence Mr Hook refers to the preparation of a Structure Plan and there are subdivision rules and a structure plan map attached to his evidence. The only other expert evidence is civil engineering evidence from Christopher Shortt. 1.48 The Council opposes the Future Urban zoning as it considers that the standard of information provided falls short of what would be expected to support a structure plan of the nature proposed. By way of example, no expert traffic engineering evidence has been adduced in support of the proposal and there is no attempt to address the range of matters outlined in Appendix 1.1 of the RPS. 1.49 Further little regard appears to have been had for the RPS policies in Chapter B2.3. A clear reason why the live zoning proposal will not give effect to the RPS is that it will not result in growth immediately adjacent to the existing urban area as required by B2.3 Policy 4 (c). 46-61 Dawson Road, Snells Beach – Submitter Manikum Investments (#3972) Council position 1.50 Planning evidence from Diana Bell on behalf of Manikum Investments Ltd seeks rezoning of the land at 46 to 61 Dawson Road from Large Lot to Single House zone. The Council's position is that at this current point in time the Large Lot zone should be retained. Reasons 1.51 This land is currently subject to a private plan change request - Private Plan Change 179 to Auckland Council District Plan (Rodney Section). The plan change seeks to rezone the land in the operative district plan from a Large Lot zoning to a Medium Intensity Residential zone. We are instructed that due to geotechnical issues the plan change cannot be progressed until agreement can be reached with a neighbouring land owner about the placement of stormwater control and management measures on the neighbouring landowner's property. Without such measures the intensity of development proposed cannot be achieved. 1.52 As a result, the Council considers that a Single House zoning could only be applied to the site if an agreement about stormwater issues is reached. In such circumstances it would also be necessary to include plan provisions relating to stormwater and wastewater management into the PAUP. 31560772:631364 Page 13 5 Matariki Street, Omaha – Submitter Sandee Investments Ltd (6605-2) Council position 1.53 The planning evidence of Hamish Firth on behalf of Sandee Investments Ltd seeks to re-zone the site at 5 Matariki Street as Single House, with a possible fall-back position of partially Neighbourhood Centre zone (western portion of the site), and partially Single House zone (eastern portion of the site). The Council's position is that the site should remain zoned Single House. Reasons 1.54 The Council opposes a change to the Single House zone for a number of reasons. The notified Neighbour Centre zone already provides for residential dwellings within the zone (except for on the ground floor where the dwelling has frontage to public open space (including streets)). Therefore the submitter can already construct dwellings on this site. 1.55 The economic analysis in the submitter’s evidence has concentrated on retail whereas the Neighbourhood Centre zone allows for more activities than just retail (e.g. visitor accommodation). The Neighbourhood Centre zone is a more enabling zone than the SH zone, with more activities provided for. 1.56 The location of the site is suitable for a Neighbourhood Centre zone. It is located next to a large car park, existing commercial activities, and the Omaha Surf Club. Rezoning the land to Single House would permanently remove this land from commercial activity. Retention of the Neighbourhood Centre Zone achieves the objectives of the Neighbourhood Centre zone. 464 Leigh Road, Whangateau – Submitter Elizabeth Foster and Kenneth Harcombe (#194) Council position 1.57 The evidence of submitter Elizabeth Foster seeks the rezoning of the site at 464 Leigh Road, Whangateau from Rural Coastal zone to Rural Coastal Settlement zone. The Council supports the retention of the Rural Coastal zone on this site. Reasons 31560772:631364 Page 14 1.58 The Council considers that the site is unsuitable for residential expansion due to the flooding and costal inundation hazards that are present over much of the land. The notified zoning of the site recognises its characteristics and is the most appropriate way to achieve the objectives of the Rural Coastal zone. 151 Rautawhiri Road, Helensville South – Submitter Hounslow Holdings Ltd (#5763-1) Council position 1.59 The planning evidence of Craig McGarr on behalf of Hounslow Holdings Ltd seeks the rezoning of the part of the site at 151 Rautawhiri Road zoned Future Urban zone to a live urban Single House zone. The Council's position is that the notified Future Urban zone should be retained. Reasons 1.60 Mr McGarr's evidence states that the area of the site which is zoned Future Urban is (conservatively) estimated to accommodate approximately 108 additional Single House lots. 1.61 We are instructed that the Council opposes the application of the Single House zone due to advice from Watercare Services Ltd that there are currently wastewater and water supply capacity constraints in Parakai and Helensville. Land in Wainui East and Silverdale West – Submitter Wilks Road 2014 Limited (#5520) and Redvale Quarry Ltd (FS2271 and FS2270) Council positon 1.62 A range of expert evidence on behalf of Wilks Road 2014 Limited and Redvale Quarry Ltd has been lodged in support of a proposal to live urban zone and apply precincts to land in Wainui East and Silverdale West. The Council does not support the rezoning and precincts proposal. Reasons 1.63 Expert rebuttal evidence has been lodged by the Council in respect of this proposal from Claudia Hellberg and Katja Huls (stormwater), Andrew Beer (open space), Alastair Lovell (AT) and Chris Allen (Watercare). 31560772:631364 Page 15 1.64 The Council's evidence indicates that the submitters' structure plans have not had adequate input from the Council, AT or Watercare. Given the breadth of concerns raised in the Council's evidence, it cannot be said that the potential adverse effects of the proposals have been adequately addressed and that they are aligned with the provision of infrastructure that is planned and has identified funding as anticipated by Chapter B2.3 of the RPS. Land at Horseshoe Bush Road, Dairy Flat Highway, and Kahikatea Flat Road – Submitters : Rosal Trust (#2692-2), Karepiro Investments Ltd (3#26-1) and DF Enterprises Ltd (#865-1) Council position 1.65 Evidence from Diana Bell and Barry MacDonell on behalf of the submitters seeks the rezoning of sites at 2 Horseshoe Bush Road, 1431 to 1433, 1441 to 1443 and 1453 Dairy Flat Highway, and 2 to 27 Kahikatea Flat Road from Mixed Rural to Light Industry. The Council supports the retention of the notified Mixed Rural zone. Reasons 1.66 Rezoning of this land would result in an urban zoning outside of the RUB which would not give effect to Chapter B2,1 policy 1 of the RPS. Although there is already an area of light industry (approximately 2 hectares) in the locality in the Council's view this does not justify rezoning additional land for urban purposes outside of the RUB. The evidence of Dave Paul for Topic 016 RUB North / West was that inclusion of this land within the RUB would compromise the integrity of the RUB along the Dairy Flat Highway and not result in a defensible boundary. Rodney – rezoning to Countryside Living zone (various properties) Council position 1.67 The evidence on behalf of the following submitters seeks that various properties in Rodney be rezoned from Rural Production, Mixed Rural or Rural Coastal zone to Countryside Living zone: (a) Barry MacDonnell for Rahopara Farms Ltd and Carba Rural Developments Ltd (#1824-1, 1824-2) (1502 Wainui Road, Wainui); 31560772:631364 Page 16 (b) Barry MacDonnell for SH16 Ltd (#302) (Maddies Road and Apline Road, Kaukapakapa); (c) Emma Bayly for Hugh Green Ltd (#5259) (1640 Old North Road and Inland Road, Hellensville); (d) Bruce Carter (#805) (Dysart Lane area, Kumeu); (e) Brian Putt for Omaha WF & SM Abraham (#3323) (Omaha Flats); (f) Burnette Macnicol for Thompson Road Residents and Nikau Retreat Ltd (#3257, 6775) (Thompson Road and surrounds, Warkworth); (g) Carol Rockelrath for Huntington Family Trust, Carol Rockelrath and Ingolf Rockelrath (#2175, 4666, 3121) (Area around Blackridge Rd, Drury Lane, Escott Road and Three Oaks Drive); (h) Lance Hessell for John Greensmith (FS2720) (Areas around Point Wells Road, Omaha Flats); (i) Philip Brown for Cedel Downs Stud (#1553) (South eastern Taupaki); (j) J E Eller for Huntington Family Trust (#2175) (Area around Blackbridge Road, Drury Lane, Escott Road and Three Oaks Drive, Dairy Flat); (k) Graham Power for IRL Investments Ltd (#4419) (185 Sandspit Road, Warkworth); (l) Daniel Shaw and Joanne Young for The Coastesville Rezoning Group Inc (#7142) (Coatesville - northern side of the Coatesville-Riverhead highway); (m) Lance Hassell for Katherine Davis (#1436) (Land around Hepburn Creek Road, Warkworth); (n) Mark Benjamin for RJ and AE Richardson Trust (#3758) (CoatesvilleRiverhead Highway and Sunnyside Road, Coatesville); (o) Robert Demler for Michael Twiss (#1317) (598 Mahurangi East Road, Algies Bay); 31560772:631364 Page 17 (p) Peter Reaburn for Neil and Elizabeth Norton (#9438) (Area south and west of Waitakere Road, near Kumeu Showgrounds). 1.68 The Council's position is that the notified zoning should be retained for these properties and that they should not be rezoned to Countryside Living. Reasons 1.69 There are a range of reasons for the Council opposing the rezoning of these properties that are dependent on the particular circumstances of the property involved. However, in general, the Council considers that rezoning of these properties would not give effect to the PAUP RPS, in particular B8.3 Policy 6, nor would the rezoning have appropriate regard to the Auckland Plan or achieve the objectives and policies of the PAUP Countryside Living zone. 1.70 A number of the properties are located on prime land. In these instances, RPS B8.3 Policy 6(b) directs Countryside Living zones to avoid areas of elite and prime land. Therefore the Council's position is that Countryside Living zoning is not appropriate. Moreover, as indicated in the evidence of Ms Curran-Cournane,3 Countryside Living zoning would effectively curtail any further rural production in the area. She highlights the problems of reverse sensitivity arising from countryside living in productive rural areas. 1.71 In some instances rezoning could also undermine rural character, rural amenity values, and otherwise adversely affect landscape values contrary to RPS B8.3 Policy 6(d). In this regard the landscape values of a number of the submitter properties are described in Stephen Brown's landscape evidence and he explains why from a landscape perspective they are not suitable for countryside living. 1.72 In respect of countryside living areas, as previously discussed in these submissions the Auckland Plan states that these areas should be close to rural towns and urban areas.4 Where properties are not close to rural towns and urban areas, this is a further reason for the Council opposing the rezoning to a Countryside Living zone.

Coast!Hwy! 1. TOPIC 081c – REZONING AND PRECINCTS (NORTH SHORE) Introduction 1.1 The sub-region of North Shore is largely made up of the boundaries of the former North Shore City Council. Kaipatiki, and Upper It incorporates Devonport-Takapuna, Harbour Local Board Areas (except Hobsonville/Whenuapai), and the southern part of the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board Area. The area is characterised by an extensive coastal edge of approximately 160 kilometres with the Hauraki Gulf and Waitemata Harbour.1 1.2 In the North Shore area, there have been 2523 submission points received on rezoning requests. These are broken down into the sub-areas as follows: (a) Albany and Greenhithe – 241; (b) Glenfield, Northcote and Birkenhead – 1510; (c) East Coast Bays – 117; (d) Takapuna, Milford and Smales Farm – 158; (e) Devonport Peninsula - 299; and (f) Rosedale, Wairau and Barry's point (Light Industry) – 198. Evidence to Be Called 1.3 The Council intends to call evidence from the following: (a) Jeremy Wyatt (planning – business zoning at Wairau Valley, Barry's Point Road and Lunn Avenue (b) Shona Myers (ecology – 61 Waipa Road, Birkenhead) (c) Martin Peake (transport – Albany Heights) (d) Peter Nunns (economics – business zoning) Issues Arising From Submitter Evidence 1 Statement of Evidence of David Sanders on behalf of Auckland Council dated 26 January 2016, North Shore – Sub-Regional Overview, at paras 7.2-7.3. Attach - Rezoning - 081c North Shore - 8.3.16.docx Page 2 540 Paremoremo Road, Paremoremo – Submitter: Department of Corrections (#623035) Council position 1.4 The planning evidence by Peter Hall on behalf of the Department of Corrections seeks a change from the notified Countryside Living zone to Single House zone, or in the alternative, change the subdivision rules or rezone the village as a Rural and Coastal Settlement for the Auckland Prison Village at 540 Paremoremo Road. The Council's position is that the notified Countryside Living zone should be retained over this site. Reasons 1.5 The Council considers that a prerequisite for the application of the Single House zone to settlements located outside the Rural Urban Boundary is for the settlement to comprise an urban area that has access to a reticulated community wastewater service. 1.6 The 97 residential dwellings at the Paremoremo prison facility are contained within a single title. The dwellings are serviced by existing waste water and water supply assets owned by the Department of Corrections. 1.7 The evidence of Mr Hall on behalf of the Department of Corrections does not explain how, upon subdivision, access to the services for the existing houses, and potentially the undeveloped part of the title for which the submitters are also seeking the Single House zone, is to be secured to provide an appropriate servicing standard. The Council understands from Watercare Services Limited that the existing private assets at 540 Paremoremo Road are generally in poor condition and would require significant capital investment to meet the necessary public standard. 1.8 The intensification of this particular site will not achieve the relevant objectives for the Single House zone, or give effect to the RPS. The site does not meet the proposed definition of "serviced villages" in the RPS as “a settlement that comprises an urban area that has access to reticulated community wastewater service”. For these reasons, the Council considers that the underlying Countryside Living zone is appropriate. 31560772:631364 Page 3 61 Waipa Street, Birkenhead – Further Submitter: Brian and Patricia Beecroft (FS#3860) Council position 1.9 The statement from Brian and Patricia Beecroft and the ecological evidence of Dr Flynn on behalf of this further submitter, support a change from Single House zone to Mixed Housing Suburban for their property at 61 Waipa Street, Birkenhead. A portion of the property boundary is subject to the SEA overlay. The Council's position is that the notified Single House zone is appropriate and should be retained over this site. The Council also considers it appropriate for the SEA overlay to remain over the property, however the extent of the SEA overlay should be reduced. Reasons 1.10 Ms Myers has responded to the matters raised by Dr Flynn in her rebuttal evidence dated 4 March 2016. Ms Myers considers that the SEA overlay has been properly applied over this area, and meets the PAUP criteria of representativeness and diversity. Ms Myers' view is that the SEA overlay should remain on 61 Waipa Street but proposes that its extent be reduced to remove areas of exotic vegetation, including areas dominated by ginger. Ms Myers considers that tree fern and kanuka, which provide a dense canopy, should remain within the SEA overlay extent, and that these are part of, and buffer, the wider SEA in the catchment. 1.11 Ms Myers considers that the proposed reduction of the SEA, means that the SEA covers 28% of the submitter's site (compared to 40% of the site prior to the proposed amendments). Given the continued application of the SEA over part of the site, the Council position is that the Single House zone for 61 Waipa Street is appropriate, and gives effect to the RPS. Albany Heights and Fairview Heights Council position 1.12 A number of submitters have requested a range of zoning types in the Albany Heights and Fairview Heights areas for zoning that would result in greater intensity 31560772:631364 Page 4 of residential development than that proposed by the Council. The Council position is that its proposed zoning in the PAUP as notified (comprising variously of Large Lot, Single House and Mixed Housing Suburban) is appropriate and should be retained. Reasons 1.13 Mr Peake has provided technical traffic evidence on behalf of the Council in response to particular submitters relating to Albany Heights and Fairview Heights. 1.14 Mr Peake considers that the zoning of Albany Heights should not be intensified beyond that proposed in the PAUP, unless or until the link road between Gills Road and Oteha Valley Road is constructed. The current restricted width at the southern end of Gills Road, which is the main access road into the area, hinders any possible intensification from the notified PAUP. 1.15 We respect to Fairview Heights, Mr Peake considers that further analysis is required to determine whether the one lane bridge at the southern end of Fairview Avenue can accommodate increased traffic arising from intensification. Mr Peake considers that from a transport perspective, any further intensification of Fairview Heights is not appropriate at this time. 1.16 We are instructed that the Environment Court is currently considering the proposed Notice of Requirement to address the restricted capacity as the southern end of Fairview Avenue. The Notice of Requirement relates to Plan Change 32 to the Auckland Council District Plan (North Shore Section), where the Environment Court confirmed that intensification of this area should not occur until improvements (such as to an upgrade to Fairview Avenue and bridge, and the Medallion Drive extension) were implemented. 1.17 The Council considers that for the reasons set out in the rebuttal evidence of Mr Peake that its proposed zoning for Albany Heights and Fairview Heights is the most appropriate way to achieve the relevant objectives of the applicable zones in the PAUP as notified, and best gives effect to the RPS. Wairau Valley, Wairau – Submission by Wairau Property Owners Collective 31560772:631364 Page 5 Council position 1.18 Evidence on behalf of the Wairau Property Owners Collective proposes to rezone 160 ha of Light Industry zoned land to General Business. The Council's position is that Light Industry is the most appropriate zone for this area of land. Reasons 1.19 The Council supports Light Industry zone rather than General Business for the reasons set out in the planning rebuttal evidence of Mr Wyatt and the economic rebuttal evidence of Mr Nunns on behalf of the Auckland Council. 1.20 In summary the reasons include: (a) At 160 ha the area is more than twice the size of Albany Metropolitan Centre and rezoning is clearly contrary to the "centres plus" approach to managing commercial growth as set out in B3.1 of the RPS; (b) The cost benefit analysis undertaken on behalf of the submitters is insufficient from a section 32 perspective and a proposed rezoning of this magnitude requires a robust, evidence-based analysis of the potential effects; (c) The submitter has not provided transport evidence and Council’s previous evidence has identified traffic difficulties with Wairau Road; (d) Demand for industrial floorspace is expected to grow over the life of the life of the PAUP and the loss of such a substantial area would not enable a sufficient supply of industrial land; and (e) The Light Industry zoned area has a functional level of amenity and the General Business zone’s anticipated built form and 31560772:631364 Page 6 consent requirements is inappropriate relative to the types of existing activities in the area. Barry's Point Road – Submissions seeking rezoning from Light Industry to Mixed Use Council position 1.21 A range of submitters seek to rezone Light Industry zoned areas at Barry's Point Road to Mixed Use. The Council's position is that Light Industry zoning should be retained for the Barry's Point Road area, at least until structure planning occurs. Reasons 1.1 The Council considers that Light Industry zoning should be retained, at least until structure planning occurs, for the reasons set out in the rebuttal evidence of Mr Wyatt. In summary: (a) Structure planning will maximise the benefits and minimise the costs of rezoning; (b) Rezoning part of the area to Mixed Use may be appropriate due to extent of commercial activities which have established within the Barry’s Point Road Light Industry zoned area (the Economic Report will assist in determining the mix of activities in the area); (c) Amending the entire area to Mixed Use zone at this point in time will fail to capitalise on the opportunities presented nor minimise the effects of redevelopment; (d) The area has excellent accessibility to transport networks and is proximate to the Takapuna Metropolitan Centre; and (e) The Takapuna Strategic Framework identifies Barry’s Point Road as an area that needs further planning so as to capitalise on its undoubted potential. 31560772:631364 Page 7 Changes to Council position Raymond Terrace, Northcote – Submission by Simon Ayris (submission # 5560) Council position 1.2 Planning evidence from Angela Goodwin on behalf of Simon Aysis proposes to rezone the lots that have frontage to the southern side of Raymond Terrace from the notified Single House zone to Mixed Housing Suburban zone. In response to the submitter's evidence, the Council agrees that the relevant area should be zoned Mixed Housing Suburban. Reasons 1.3 The Council supports rezoning the lots that have frontage to the southern side of Raymond Terrace to Mixed Housing Suburban zone because the properties are generally unaffected by SEA overlay and there is little to distinguish these properties from the other MHS zoned properties on the north side of Raymond Terrace and Lydia Avenue. The adjoining properties to the north-east and the west have extensive areas of SEA overlay across them should remain as Single House zone for this reason. 1043-1047 Beach Road, Long Bay (Vaughn Park) – Submission by the General Trust Board of the Diocese of Auckland (submission # 4422-24) Council position 1.4 Planning evidence from Craig McGarr on behalf of the General Trust Board of the Diocese of Auckland proposes to rezone the Vaughn Park site from Single House to Mixed Housing Suburban. In response to the submitter's evidence, the Council agrees that the site should be zoned Mixed Housing Suburban. Reasons 31560772:631364 Page 8 1.5 The Council supports rezoning the site from Single House to Mixed Housing Suburban for the following reasons: (a) The Vaughn Park site is separated from the coastal edge by the Sir Peter Blake Marine Education centre and residential development to the north and east; (b) Beach Road separates the site from Long Bay Regional Park and the stream to the north-west; (c) The site is not identified as being subject to coastal inundation or flooding; and (d) The residential areas to the south and south-east are zoned Mixed Housing Suburban so the change in zone would not amount to a spot zoning or a departure from the planned urban form of the surrounding area. Corrections 1.6 The Council is proposing a single correction to the planning maps lodged with the primary evidence for the North geographic area.

TOPIC 081d – REZONING AND PRECINCTS (WEST) Introduction 1.1 The West Auckland sub-region is largely made up of the boundaries of the former Waitakere City Council. It incorporates the Whau, Waitakere Ranges, Henderson/Massey, and the Hobsonville/Whenuapai part of the Upper Harbour/Kaipatiki Local Board Areas. Devonport-Takapuna, Kaipatiki, and Upper Harbour Local Board Areas (except Hobsonville/Whenuapai), and the southern part of the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board Area.1 1.2 In the North Shore area, there have been 1702 submission points received on rezoning requests. These are broken down into the sub-areas as follows: (a) Glendene, Glen Eden and New Lynn – 538; (b) Henderson – 318; (c) Massey/Ranui/Non Rural Swanson – 466; (d) Northwest Waitakere, Hobsonville, West Harbour and Herald Island – 90; (e) Te Atatu -239; and (f) Waitakere Ranges Heritage Area – 51. Evidence to Be Called 1.3 The Council does not intend to call any witnesses for the West geographic area. Issues Arising From Submitter Evidence 20 and 26 Seaview Road, Piha – Submission by Preserve Piha Limited (submission # 2056-1) 1194 Huia Road, Huia – Submission by John and Pien Wise (submission # 4724-3) Council position 1.4 Planning evidence from Michael Campbell and Barry Kay on behalf of the submitters proposes to rezone the submitters' sites from the notified Rural 1 Statement of Evidence of Eryn Shields on behalf of Auckland Council dated 26 January 2016, West – Sub-Regional Overview, at para 7.2. Attach - Rezoning - 081d West - 8.3.16.docx Page 2 Conservation zone to Neighbourhood Centre zone. The Council's position is that the notified Rural Conservation zone should be retained for these properties. Reasons 1.5 Although the sites on their own are not high in the values the Rural Conservation zone seeks to recognise and protect, they are part of the wider Rural Conservation zone context and any effects of new activities on the sites should be carefully managed to achieve the Rural Conservation zone objectives and policies. 1.6 The properties are also subject to the Waitakere Ranges Coastal Settlements precinct, which is more enabling of a number of accommodation and commerce activities than provided for in the underlying Rural Conservation zone. 1.7 The application of the Rural Conservation zone is consistent with the approach for other sites occupied by commerce activities located within the Waitakere Ranges Heritage Area in that they have the same zoning as the surrounding land. 1.8 The Council's position is that the provisions of the Rural Conservation zone and the Waitakere Coastal Settlements precinct strike an appropriate balance between enabling certain accommodation and commercial activities, and managing effects on the values of the Rural Conservation zone objectives and policies seek to recognise and protect. 19 Church Street, Swanson – Submission by Addams Trust Company Limited (submission # 7019-2) Council position 1.9 The planning evidence from Lahiru Wijewardhana on behalf of Addams Trust Company Limited seeks to rezone 19 Church Street, Swanson from Rural Coastal zone to Mixed Housing Urban zone. The original submission was summarised as relating only to 19 Church Street (which is zoned Countryside Living in the notified PAUP), and that adjoining properties at Crows Road (which are zoned Rural Coastal zone in the notified PAUP), which the 31560772:631364 Page 3 submission also relates to, were not identified. The Council's position is that the Countryside Living zone should be retained for 19 Church Street and the Rural Coastal zone should be retained for the Crows Road properties. Reasons 1.10 The Council does not support rezoning 19 Church Street from Rural Coastal to Mixed Housing Urban as the site is outside the RUB boundary and an intensive residential zone on a site largely covered by the SEA overlay would conflict with the objectives and policies of the Swanson North precinct, which seek to manage subdivision in order to protect the rural and landscape character of the area. 1.11 The Council also does not support rezoning the land at Crows Road from Countryside Living to Mixed Housing Urban because rezoning to an intensive residential zone would be in conflict with the objectives and policies of the RPS. 1.12 In addition to being located outside of the RUB, the subject land is separated from the Single House and Mixed Housing Suburban zoning of the Swanson North township by a stream and by the Redwood Park Golf Club which is zoned Large Lot. It is the Council's position that the separation of the subject land from the township does not support a compact urban form and in this respect the proposed rezoning would be inconsistent with the objectives and policies of the RPS which seek a compact urban form. 1.13 Mr Wijewardhana's request for the rezoning of 19 Church Street and the Crows Road properties has been made on the grounds that the MHU zone is needed to generate funding for remediation of the land which he describes as being "likely to be highly contaminated" (by previous landowners) and is the subject of an order from the Environment Court to be remediated. However, the Council does not consider this to be appropriate grounds to warrant rezoning the land. 17-19 Fred Taylor Drive, Westgate – Submission by The National Trading Company (submission # 2632) Council position 31560772:631364 Page 4 1.14 The planning evidence from Vaughan Smith on behalf of The National Trading Company seeks to rezone 17-19 Fred Taylor Drive from Mixed Use zone to General Business zone. Mr Smith considers that the existence of the Pak'n Save supermarket on the site is strong grounds to rezone the site to General Business zone and that the supermarket activity is best provided for by the objectives and policies of the General Business zone. The Council's position is that the notified Mixed Use zoning should be retained for the site. Reasons 1.15 Supermarket activity is provided for in both zones' objectives and policies, and activity tables and is ultimately controlled by the Westgate precinct provisions. 1.16 The Council does not support rezoning of the site from Mixed Use to General Business because the Mixed Use zone provides more flexibility for future development of the site than the General Business zone. In particular, the Mixed Use zone provides for residential activities, which will broadly support the functioning of the Metropolitan Centre and preserve the future opportunity for a mix of business and residential activities to be established on the site. Pak'n Save and Bunnings, Westgate – Submission by IB and GA Midgley (submission # 4478-107, 108, 118) Council position 1.17 The planning evidence from David Haines on behalf of IB and GA Midgley seeks to rezone land at Westgate (underlying sub-precinct C) as follows: (a) Rezone land occupied by Bunnings from Mixed Use to General Business; and (b) Rezone land occupied by Pak'n Save from Mixed Use to Metropolitan Centre. 1.18 The Council's position is that the notified Mixed Use zoning should be retained for both sites. Reasons 31560772:631364 Page 5 1.19 The Council considers that the Mixed Use zone is the most appropriate zone for the Bunnings site because it provides more flexibility for future development of the site ant than General Business zone. In particular, the future opportunity for a mix of business and residential activities to be established on the site in the event that redevelopment does occur. 1.20 With respect to the Pak'n Save site, the Council does not consider that the Metropolitan Centre zoning requested by the submitter is an appropriate zone to apply to this site. The Metropolitan Centre zone is a significant deviation from the planned Westgate precinct and ignores the significant amount of planning and investigatory work that went into the development of the Westgate precinct. 1.21 The Mixed Use zoning forms sub-precinct C in the Westgate precinct and is intended to provide for urban growth that is comprehensively planned to integrate with, and support, the Metropolitan Centre, while ensuring that retail activities within sub-precincts B and C do not detract from the viability of the Metropolitan Centre in sub-precinct A. 1.22 The Council considers that the expansion of the Metropolitan Centre zone would provide direct competition to the Metropolitan Centre zone that has been planned in sub-precinct A and no evidence has been provided by the submitter evaluating how the expanded Metropolitan Centre might impact on the performance of the Westgate precinct as a whole. 1.23 In this context, it is the Council's position that retention of the Mixed Use zone which has been planned to integrate with and support the metropolitan town centre at sub-precinct A is appropriate. Sub-precincts D and F, Westgate – Submission by New Zealand Retail Property Group (submission # 5165) Council position 1.24 The planning evidence of Peter Reaburn on behalf of New Zealand Retail Property Group seeks to rezone land in the Westgate precinct as follows: (a) Rezone land in sub-precinct D in the vicinity of Rua Road from Terrace Housing and Apartment Buildings to General Business; and 31560772:631364 Page 6 (b) Rezone a 18.5 hectares of sub-precinct F from Light Industry to General Business. 1.25 The Council's position is that the notified PAUP zoning should be retained for both sites. Reasons 1.26 The Council remains of the view that the Terrace Housing and Apartment Buildings zoning near Rua Road is appropriate for the location and should be retained. This is because the THAB zoning is well positioned having regard to the PAUP zoning principles and achieves the objectives and policies of the RPS and the THAB zone – being near the town centre, near employment, having good access to transport, and being located near a large tract of open space. 1.27 The Council does not consider that the rezoning of land in sub-precinct F from Light Industry to General Business is appropriate. The area of zoning forms sub-precinct F in the Westgate precinct and is intended to be an integrated business and employment area focusing on land-extensive industrial activities. The Light Industry zoning is therefore important to the intention of the subprecinct and to the intention of the Westgate precinct as a whole. 1.28 The Council considers that the proposed additional 18.5 hectares area of General Business zone would have an impact on the viability of the metropolitan centre and no evidence analysing this impact has been presented by Mr Reaburn. Brigham Creek Park, Hobsonville – Submission by Brigham Creek Business Park (submission # 3429) Council position 1.29 The planning evidence of Alastair White on behalf of Brigham Creek Park seeks to remove the Hobsonville Corridor sub-precinct A1 from the underlying Light Industry zone and to rezone a 70m deep ribbon of the land fronting Hobsonville Road along the length of sub-precincts A1 from Light Industry to General Business. 31560772:631364 Page 7 1.30 The Council's position is that the notified Light Industry zone should be retained for the site. Reasons 1.31 The Council does not agree with Mr White's view that the Light Industry zone is an inappropriate zone to adjoin residential activity. The Light Industry zone anticipates industrial activities that do not generate objectionable odour, dust or noise emissions. Adverse effects from industrial activities must be managed within the zone and in relation to adjacent areas. This includes effects on the transport environment. 1.32 The proposed rezoning represents an unnecessary erosion of the Light Industry zone in this area and would set a precedent for future challenges to the Light Industry zone. It is the Council's position that the Light Industry zone in this location is appropriate and should be retained. Land bounded by Hobsonville Road, Trig Road, State Highway 16 and Upper Harbour Highway Hobsonville – Submission by CDL Land New Zealand Limited (submission # 3159) Council position 1.33 The planning evidence of John Childs on behalf of CDL Land New Zealand Limited (CDL) seeks to rezone the subject land (comprising 45 ha) from Future Urban zone to THAB zone. The subject land bounded by Hobsonville Road, Trig Road, State Highway 16 and Upper Harbour Highway (but excluding residentially zoned land in the block fronting Hobsonville Road and including 4-6 Hobsonville Road). 1.34 The submitter does not own the whole area proposed for rezoning and has not undertaken any consultation with the other land owners. 1.35 The Council's position is that the notified Future Urban zone should be retained for the subject land. Reasons 31560772:631364 Page 8 1.36 The planning evidence of Mr Childs suggests that a structure plan could be dispensed with in favour of relying on the subdivision provisions of the PAUP. The Council does not agree with Mr Childs' view that structure planning should be dispensed with. The Council considers that structure planning is necessary in order for relevant information to be considered to ensure that the area is developed in an integrated and coordinated manner and that it is aligned with the timely provision of infrastructure. 1.37 The appropriate level of information to inform rezoning of the subject land from Future Urban to a live zone is set out in the PAUP requirements for structure planning at Appendix 1.1. The supporting information provided by CDL lacks the necessary detail as required by Appendix 1.1 to appropriately inform the application of a live zone. 1.38 Given the lack of detailed supporting information, the lack of a structure plan or equivalent planning exercise and the lack of consultation with the land owners, it is the Council's position that the proposed rezoning is inappropriate and that the subject land should remain Future Urban zone. The Landing, Boundary Road, Hobsonville – Submission by Hobsonville Land Company (submission # 3859) Council position 1.39 The planning evidence of Matthew Lindenberg on behalf of Hobsonville Land Company seeks to rezone the site known as ‘The Landing’ on Boundary Road, Hobsonville from Future Urban zone to Mixed Use zone. With the exception of a comparison of PAUP zones and activity tables, no supporting evidence has been provided by the submitter. 1.40 The Council's position is that the notified Future Urban zone should be retained for the site. Reasons 1.41 The original submission is without supporting technical information and Mr Lindenberg’s evidence advises that a proposed plan change which includes a section 32 assessment and a range of detailed technical assessments could be made available to the Council if the Council considers this to be of 31560772:631364 Page 9 assistance in considering the request.2 The Council is of the view that the appropriate time to provide this information would have been as part of the original submission or as evidence in support of the submission. 1.42 The PAUP process for rezoning FU zone to a live zone is discussed above. In particular, the necessity of a structure plan accompanying the proposed rezoning prepared in accordance with Appendix 1.1 and with relevant supporting technical information. 1.43 In the absence of the detailed information that Mr Lindenberg has referred to in his evidence but has not provided, the Council is unable to make an informed assessment of the proposed rezoning from Future Urban zone to Mixed Use zone. Accordingly, the Council's position is that the Future Urban zone is appropriate and should be retained. Panuku Auckland Development Council position 1.44 The planning evidence of Vijay Lala on behalf of Panuku Development (a Council Controlled Organisation) originally requested the rezoning of 6 hectare site at the eastern end of Hobsonville Point from Mixed Housing Urban zone to Local Centre zone. 1.45 Council officers met with Mr Lala on 17 February 2016 to discuss the proposed Local Centre zone and whether it was an appropriate zone for this location. As a result of these discussions, the parties agreed that the Neighbourhood Centre zone would be more appropriate in this location, particularly as the local centre in this area does not align with the Auckland Plan hierarchy of centres (where a Local Centre is shown in the Hobsonville Road Corridor). 1.46 Having regard to the centres hierarchy outlined in the Auckland Plan and the objectives and policies of the Neighbourhood Centre zone, the Council's position is that the Neighbourhood Centre zone is appropriate for this location as it will provide employment and local commercial services at a neighbourhood scale. 2 Primary Statement of Evidence of Matthew Lindenberg on behalf of Hobsonville Land Company, dated 15 February 2016 at [12]. 31560772:631364 Page 10 Changes to Council Position 36 Dolbear Street, Titrangi – Submission by Joanne Sunde and Tim Rickards (submission # 3504) Council position 1.47 Evidence from Joanne Sunde proposes to rezone the site from the notified Single House zone to Mixed Housing Urban zone. In response to the submitters' evidence, the Council has changed its position and agrees that the site should be zoned Mixed Housing Urban. Reasons 1.48 The Council supports rezoning the site to Mixed Housing Urban because there are practicable engineering solutions that allow two houses/sites to be developed at 36 Dolbear Street as outlined by the submitter. Therefore, managing flooding risk at the site does not require maintenance of the Single House zone. Rezoning to Mixed Housing Urban zone will achieve the objectives of the Mixed Housing Urban zone and gives effect to the RPS. 64 Godley Road, Green Bay – Submission by The National Trading Company of New Zealand Limited (submission # 2632-265, FS2963) Council position 1.49 Planning evidence from Vaughan Smith on behalf of The National Trading Company of New Zealand Limited proposes to rezone the site from the notified Neighbourhood Centre zone to Local Centre zone. In response to the submitter's evidence, the Council has changed its position and agrees that the site should be zoned Local Centre. Reasons 1.50 The Council supports rezoning the sites from Neighbourhood Centre to Local Centre due to the function, role and context of the centre. As inferred by Mr Smith, the range of activities that occur in the Green Bay centre give it a wider role than described in the objectives and policies for the Neighbourhood Centre zone. The range of activities, including the presence of small scale 31560772:631364 Page 11 supermarkets, is more indicative of a Local Centre zone than a Neighbourhood Centre zone. The Council's position is therefore that rezoning to Local Centre is the most appropriate way to achieve the objectives of the Local Centre zone and gives effect to the RPS. 377 and 379 West Coast Road, Glen Eden – Submission by Peter Reid and Daniel Thomas (submission # 6834) Council position 1.51 Evidence from Mr Brown proposes to rezone the site from the notified Light Industry zone to Single House. In response to the submitter's evidence, the Council has changed its position and agrees that the site should be zoned Single House rather than Light Industry. Reasons 1.52 The Council supports rezoning the site from Light Industry zone to Single House zone due to a number of factors identified in Mr Brown's evidence. This includes that the properties are already used for residential purposes and adjoin existing areas of Single House zone. 54 Brigham Dreek Road (Lot 1 DP40934), Whenuapai – Submission by Anderson and O'Leary Limited (submission # 3590-1) Council position 1.53 Evidence from Jonathan Brendan Ryan on behalf of Anderson and O'Leary Limited proposes to rezone the site from the notified Future Urban zone to Light Industry zone. In response to the submitter's evidence, the Council has changed its position and agrees that the site should be zoned Light Industry rather than Future Urban. Reasons 1.54 The Council supports rezoning the site to Light Industry because the small isolated site of Future Urban zoning is likely to be an error. Light Industry zoning recognises that the site is associated with the ITM Pinepac Sawmill 31560772:631364 Page 12 and the site is contiguous with other Light Industry land to the east. Other adjacent land is zoned Mixed Housing Urban and Local Centre. Lot 2 DP 463057, Hobsonville Point – Submission by Hobsonville Land Company Limited (submission # 3859-60) Council position 1.55 Planning evidence from Giles Bramwell on behalf of Hobsonville Land Company Ltd proposes to rezone part of the site from the notified Open Space zone to Mixed Housing Urban. In response to the submitter's evidence, the Council has changed its position and agrees that the site should be zoned Mixed Housing Urban. Reasons 1.56 The Council supports rezoning part of the site from Open Space to Mixed Housing Urban to reflect the extent of open space that is shown in the Approved Comprehensive Development Plan for the Sunderland precinct at Hobsonville Point. 31560772:631364 ATTACHMENT: TOPIC 081e – REZONING AND PRECINCTS (CENTRAL) 1. The sub-region of Central Auckland (Central area) covers approximately 15,214 hectares, encompassing the Auckland Isthmus area under the former Auckland City Council boundaries and includes the Albert-Eden, Maungakiekie-Tamaki, Orakei, Puketapapa Local Board areas. The area also includes the southern portion of the Waitemata Local Board area, western portion of the Whau Local Board area and northern part of the MangereOtahuhu Local Board area. In summary, the area extends from Avondale to Point England (west to east) and Herne Bay to Hillsborough (north to south).1 2. In the Central area, there have been 8258 submission points received on rezoning requests. These are broken down into the sub-areas as follows: 3. (a) Western Isthmus – 2457; (b) Eastern Isthmus – 3985; (c) Southern Isthmus – 967; and (d) City Centre Fringe – 849. The submission points on the Central area are summarised in Attachment E of the evidence report of Joao Machado and Paulina Wythes on behalf of the Council for Central Auckland – Sub-regional Overview. Evidence to Be Called 4. The Council intends to call Stephen Brown as a landscape expert witness in relation to the Eastern Isthmus (Stonefields development).2 5. As previously addressed in these submissions, we record that a number of evidence reports were filed on the Council's behalf for this Topic on or after 26 January 2016, which reports have since been amended pursuant to the Council's Resolution of 24 February 2016 and subsequent advice to the Panel by memorandum dated 29 February 2016. The authors of those evidence reports will not be called in support of their Remaining Evidence. 1 2 Statement of Evidence of Joao Machado and Paulina Wythes on behalf of Auckland Council dated 26 January 2016, Central Auckland – Sub-Regional Overview, at paragraph 1.2. Mr Brown’s EIC on Central – Eastern Isthmus Rezoning (Landscape) is dated 29 January 2016. Page 2 Issues Arising from Submitter Evidence Requests to Rezone land from Light Industrial (LI) to Mixed Use (MU) 6. A number of submitter requests have been made seeking that land be rezoned from LI to MU (specific submitter requests will be discussed in further detail below). We are instructed that the Council is concerned that rezoning land from LI to MU would not provide certainty that industrial activities would be retained, which could potentially have an impact on the LI land supply needed by industrial and manufacturing sectors to support growth in the future. The Council considers that retention of LI zoned land meets the objectives of the RPS, in particular B2.3 (Development capacity and supply of land for urban development) as it ensures there will be sufficient land supply in the Central area to accommodate industrial type activities for business growth. The retention of the LI zoned land also meets objectives 1 and 3 under B3.1 (Commercial and industrial growth) of the RPS in that the role of centres as focal points for commercial and industrial business growth will be sustained while avoiding conflicts between incompatible land uses. 7. The Council also notes that its proposed revised zone provisions for the LI zone will provide for the continued use of existing commercial activities and allows change between some commercial uses. The LI zone also anticipates a range of supporting activities including food and drink, dairies and trade suppliers. It is therefore submitted that the presence of such commercial activities alone is not a justification for a change from LI to MU. 8. The specific areas where submitters have requested land be rezoned from LI to MU are as follows: (a) City Centre Fringe i. Sub area C6 – Kingsland and Morningside. A number of submitters have sought to rezone the land around the Morningside Train Station from LI to MU.3 In his EIC on behalf of Augusta, Nick Roberts contends that rezoning the subject land from LI to MU would more appropriately meet the objectives of the RPS and Part 2 of the RMA because the land is located within a “close walk” to 3 J Mead (4330-1), Tim Daniels (4600-5), Louis Mayo (4797-107), Stephen Davis (4832-85) and Generation Zero (5478-48) and the further submission of Augusta Capital Ltd (Augusta) (FS 3895) which specifically seeks to rezone its land at 11 McDonald Street, Morningside, from LI to MU, which is supported by the EIC of Nick Roberts on behalf of Augusta. Page 3 Morningside Train Station and proposed frequent bus services which will contribute to a quality compact city, and the land is not the most appropriate location for industrial activities.4 The Council notes that the subject land is part of a larger pocket of LI land situated north of Saint Lukes Town Centre and south of Morningside Town Centre. The LI zoned land area encompasses light industrial activities such as freight depots, warehousing and storage, light manufacturing and servicing, repair and maintenance services, storage and lockup facilities and wholesalers. The Council supports retention of the LI zone in this area, and considers that this zoning gives effect to the RPS, as discussed above. ii. Sub area C7 – Newton. A number of submitters have sought to rezone sites on Boston Road from LI to MU. 5 The Council has similar concerns with the proposed rezoning in this sub area as those discussed above in relation to sub area C6. The Council considers that it is important to retain LI land in this location of the City Centre Fringe to ensure sufficient land is allocated for LI activities to support future business and industrial growth of the city. The Council notes that there is a reasonably large area of land zoned MU along the railway corridor and around Newmarket Metropolitan Centre and Newton Town Centre to support growth and intensification providing a mix of residential and employment activities. iii. Sub area C8 – Parnell. A number of submitters have requested the change of zoning from LI to MU for sites along the Strand,6 and for sites fronting Augustus Terrace.7 The land along The Strand has traditionally been an industrial zone, but this has started to change to incorporating a variety of uses; automotive, car rental, trade supplies, retail, commercial and office. In the Council’s evidence report the proposed zoning change from LI to MU was not supported,8 and the submitters listed above have put in evidence to support their requests. 4 5 6 7 8 EIC of Nick Roberts on behalf of Augusta, at paragraph 2. Dilworth Trust Board (3477-18), Department of Corrections (6230-33) and Samson Corporation (primary submission 6247 and further submission 3350). Submissions 3477-19 (Dilworth Trust Board), 3563-1 (Matso Commercial Limited and JPGFT Limited), 4307-4 (The Strand Trust). Submissions 2016-5 (Parnell Business Association), and FS3875 (Cleethorpes Fifty Five Ltd). Joint Evidence Report on Submissions by Panjama Ampanthong and Hamish Scott on behalf of Auckland Council for Central – City Centre Fringe Rezoning dated 26 January 2016, Attachment C. Page 4 It is acknowledged that some LI areas have a mix of uses with some activities being commercial or office based. The land along The Strand has traditionally been an industrial zone, but this has started to change to incorporate a variety of uses; automotive, car rental, trade supplies, retail, commercial and office. However, the revised LI zone provisions proposed by the Council provides for the continued use of existing commercial activities and allows change between some commercial uses. We are therefore instructed that the Council does not consider that the presence of such commercial activities alone is justification for a change to MU and the requested zoning changes from LI to MU (b) Eastern Isthmus i. Sub area C19 – Stonefields and Panmure. In its submission point 6150, NCI Packaging (NZ) Ltd (NCI) seeks a change in zoning from LI to MU at its site at 80 Mount Wellington Highway. In her evidence on behalf of NCI, Helen Hamilton states that the land is no longer economically viable for LI uses.9 Ms Hamilton relies on the evidence of Mr Brett Smithies,10 to support this economic argument stating that the NCI manufacturing operations are one of only two manufacturing activities in the immediate area. Ms Hamilton also addresses the matter of the incorrect configuration of the land holdings as these have been renegotiated as a result of the AMETI project in this location.11 Consequently, a number of zones come into play when considering the rezoning of the land holdings. Despite this, the focus of the submission evidence is on the rezoning from LI to MU. The Council considers that the LI zone reflects the historically established activities on the site and capitalises on the locational attributes of the area, including the proximity to the Centre, to the surrounding MU zone and the RFN. It also presents a variety of employment and business opportunities desirable to an area which is currently growing. Furthermore, it is necessary to ensure sufficient supply of industrial land is retained in the Auckland region as a whole, as it is difficult to identify and establish new areas. We are therefore instructed that the Council does not support the request to rezone the subject site from LI to MU. 9 10 11 Evidence report of Helen Mary Hamilton on behalf of NCI dated 10 February 2016 at paras 3.2 to 3.4. Evidence report of Edgar Brett Smithies on behalf of NCI (Valuation and Property Evidence) dated 10 February 2016, and referred to at paras 3.2 to 3.4 of the evidence report of Ms Hamilton. EIC of Ms Hamilton at paras 2.9 to 2.11. Page 5 There is an outstanding issue in regards to this site. As stated above, the landholdings affecting this site have been reconfigured as part of the AMETI project. The Council GIS system does nto have the updated cadastral data and that’s something the Council team is working on. Once the data is available and the cadastral layout of the area is corrected, we anticipate being able to provide Council’s position on the full extent of zoning for the NCI Packaging site. (c) Southern Isthmus i. Sub area C15 – Penrose, Onehunga. The evidence of John Duthie on behalf of EJV investments opposes the retention of LI on Great South Road and seeks a rezoning to MU.12 Mr Duthie considers that the proposed LI zoning does not recognise the existing commercial activities on the sites.13 We are instructed that the Council continues to support the retention of LI zoning for the sites on Great South Road. This is because the LI zones supported for retention are existing LI areas and it is necessary to ensure sufficient supply, with new areas being more difficult to identify. It is acknowledged that this particular area has a mix of commercial or office based activities that are not provided for as permitted activities in the LI zone. However, the LI zone provides for the continued use of existing commercial activities and allows change between uses. This zone also anticipates a range of supporting activities including food and drink, dairies and trade suppliers. This area represents the ‘start’ of the wider LI zone in this area and should be preserved where possible to prevent incremental loss. ii. Sub area C15 – Penrose, Onehunga. The evidence of John Keith Radley on behalf of R M Lerner and J K Radley opposes the retention of LI zoning for the submitter’s property at 2 Walls Road and properties to the north on Great South Road (the same properties identified in EJV Investments submission discussed above). 14 This is due to the proposed LI zoning not recognising the existing office activity on 2 Walls Road. Mr Radley is seeking GB or MU zoning, which he considers more in keeping with the activities currently carried out on the surrounding land. The LI zones which the Council supports for retention are established LI areas, which it considers are necessary to ensure sufficient supply of industrial land, with 12 13 14 Statement of Evidence of John Duthie on Behalf Of Ejv Investments Limited (Planning) dated 10 February 2016. Ibid at paras 4.1 to 4.6. Statement of Evidence of John Keith Radley on Behalf of R M Lerner And J K Radley (Submitter 2436 and Further Submitter 2162), dated 10 February 2016. Page 6 new areas being more difficult to identify as LI. It is acknowledged that the site at 2 Walls Road is currently used for office activities. However, the revised LI zone provisions proposed by the Council provide for the continued use of existing commercial activities and allow change between some commercial uses. This zone also anticipates a range of supporting activities including food and drink, dairies and trade suppliers. The Council therefore considers that the current use of the site for office activities alone is not justification for a change to MU. iii. Sub area C15 – Penrose, Onehunga. The evidence of Gerard Thompson on behalf of Captain Springs Limited 2015 opposes the retention of LI on Captain Springs Road and Mays Road. 15 This is because the proposed LI zoning does not adequately reflect either the existing environment, the likely future use of this land, and is inappropriate in this location. In Mr Thompson’s view, the site and surrounding block should be rezoned to MU as this would more efficiently and effectively provide for both the existing and future land uses, and provide an appropriate transition of activity between the sensitive residential activity to the north and west, and the more intensive industrial activity to the south of the rail line. The Council acknowledges that this particular LI area has a mix of uses, including commercial, office and residential activities. However, the LI zone provides for the continued operation of existing commercial activities and allows change between uses. This zone also anticipates a range of supporting activities including food and drink, dairies and trade suppliers. The Council therefore considers that the presence of such commercial activities alone is not justification for a change to MU. The MU zone is typically located around centres and along sections of the rapid and frequent service network. This provides a transition in terms of scale and activity, between residential areas and the City Centre and Town Centre zones. In this instance, the subject properties are located more than 1km from the Onehunga TC and therefore the Council considers that the application of MU could enable commercial activity that could harm the function, role and amenity of centres. The Council is proposing to rezone a large area east of these sites from LI to HI, including the western side of Maurice Road and 2 – 10 Henderson Place. The Council considers that application of MU in this location could increase the number 15 Statement of Evidence of Gerard Francis Thompson on Behalf Of Captain Springs 2015 Limited (Further Submission #3784), dated 10 February 2016. Page 7 of sensitive residential activities in an area adjacent to LI and HI. The proposed MU zoning does not meet RPS objectives of 3.1.11a – non-industrial activity on LI land and 3.1.12 managing reverse sensitivity and therefore we are instructed that the Council supports the retention of the LI. zone iv. Sub area C21 – Ellerslie. In her evidence on behalf Wilkinson Road Limited Partnership, Stephanie Hantler supports the submitter’s request for the rezoning of Wilkinson Road Limited Partnership’s site for MU at 43 Wilkinson Road.16 While the Council acknowledges that resource consent has been granted for a multi-light commercial building, this can be implemented without the need to change the zone. As stated above, the revised LI zone provisions proposed by the Council provide for the continued use of existing commercial activities and allow change between some commercial uses. Furthermore, the Council considers that it is necessary to ensure sufficient supply of industrial land is retained as new areas are more difficult to identify. This area represents the ‘start’ of a larger and consolidated LI zone in this area and the Council considers that it should be preserved where possible to prevent incremental loss. The zone can also be adjacent to residential areas as the anticipated activities within this zone do not generate objectionable noise, odour, dust or emissions. The Council therefore considers that the presence of such commercial activities alone is not justification for a change to MU. Additionally, the MU zone is typically located around centres and along sections of the rapid and frequent service network. This provides a transition in terms of scale and activity, between residential areas and the Centre zones. This particular area is located away from Ellerslie Town Centre and is separated by residential and other LI activities. The Council considers that inappropriately located additional new MU areas could detract from the function, role and amenity of nearby centres and in doing so the success of the centres focussed approach in the RPS. v. Sub area C21 – Ellerslie. Mr A Fraser and Mr M Vinall for Kiwi Self-Storage support the rezoning of sites at Cawley Street including 40 & 80, Ellerslie from LI to MU. 16 Evidence report of Stephanie Hantler on behalf of Wilkinson Road Limited Partnership, dated 9 February 2016. Page 8 The Council acknowledges that some LI areas have a mix of uses with some activities being commercial or office based. However, the revised LI zone provisions proposed by the Council provide for the continued use of existing commercial activities and allow change between some commercial uses. This zone also anticipates a range of supporting activities including food and drink, dairies and trade suppliers. The zone can also be adjacent to residential areas as the anticipated activities within this zone do not generate objectionable noise, odour, dust or emissions. The Council therefore considers that the presence of such commercial activities alone is not justification for a change to MU. Furthermore, Council considers that it is necessary to ensure sufficient supply of industrial land is retained as new areas are more difficult to identify. This area also represents the ‘start’ of a larger and consolidated LI zone in this area and should be preserved where possible to prevent incremental loss. Additionally, the MU zone is typically located around centres and along sections of the rapid and frequent service network. This provides a transition in terms of scale and activity, between residential areas and the Centre zones. This particular area is located away from Ellerslie TC and is separated by a residential area. The Council considers that additional new MU areas could detract from the function, role and amenity of nearby centres and in doing so the success of the centres focussed approach in the RPS, and therefore does not support the requested zoning change to MU. vi. Sub area C21 – Ellerslie. Mr M Vinall for Cawley Street Investments supports Kiwi Self Storage’s and Cawley Investments request for MU zoning for sites on Cawley Street, Ellerslie. The Council acknowledges that some LI areas have a mix of uses with some activities being commercial or office based. However, the revised LI zone provisions proposed by Council provide for the continued use of existing commercial activities and allow change between some commercial uses. This zone also anticipates a range of supporting activities including food and drink, dairies and trade suppliers. The zone can also be adjacent to residential areas as the anticipated activities within this zone do not generate objectionable noise, odour, dust or emissions. The Council therefore considers that the presence of such commercial activities alone is not justification for a change to MU. Page 9 Furthermore, Council considers that it is necessary to ensure sufficient supply of industrial land is retained as new areas are more difficult to identify. This area also represents the ‘start’ of a larger and consolidated LI zone in this area and should be preserved where possible to prevent incremental loss. Additionally, the MU zone is typically located around centres and along sections of the rapid and frequent service network. This provides a transition in terms of scale and activity, between residential areas and the Centre zones. This particular area is located away from Ellerslie TC and is separated by a residential area. The Council considers that additional new MU areas could detract from the function, role and amenity of nearby centres and in doing so the success of the centres focussed approach in the RPS, and therefore does not support the requested zoning change to MU. vii. Sub area C21 - Mr N Roberts and Mr Riley (Urban Design) for the Sultan Trust support the submitter’s request to rezone 2-4 Sultan Street and 15-17 Kalmia Street, Ellerslie from LI to MU due to the proximity of the sites to the TC and RFN. Mr Riley supports this with additional urban design evidence. It is noted that both Mr Roberts and Mr Riley acknowledge the proximity to Ellerslie Town Centre via the nearby pedestrian tunnel and overpass and agree that zoning is a balancing act. In re-examining these sites for potential MU as opposed to TC, the Council has revisited the sites and surrounding area and considers that the businesses are varied and are of the type that could be found in a LI area. The Council acknowledges that the Unitary Plan is a forward looking plan, however the retention of LI areas in close proximity to centres can also provide a variety of employment and business opportunities to meet the community’s needs arising from population growth. The retention of LI activities in these areas can also provide sustainable and ongoing economic development being close to major routes and rail connections as well as providing for the social, cultural and economic well-being of a community. As stated above, the Council considers that it is necessary to ensure sufficient supply of industrial land is retained as new areas are more difficult to identify. Incremental loss in general and of smaller light industry sites near centres may lead Page 10 to a supply issue in the future. We are therefore instructed that the Council does not support a change to MU and proposes retention of the notified LI zone. viii. Sub area C18 – Mt Wellington. In his evidence on behalf of Fulton Hogan Limited, Mr Tollemache seeks to amend the zoning of 4 Reliable Way and surrounding properties, from LI to HI.17 The Council acknowledges the context of the Fulton Hogan site, however, the LI zone also provides for existing activities that are located within the zone. Therefore the Council considers that the presence alone of such activities is not justification enough to rezone the area to HI; other factors including the proximity to existing residential areas needs to be considered. Furthermore, the Council considers that if the zone is amended to HI, over time this could encourage additional HI activities to the area that are less benign, which could cause sensitivity issues given the proximity to the surrounding residential development. We are therefore instructed that the Council does not support a change to HI and continues to support the retention of the notified LI zone. ix. Sub area C18 – Mt Wellington. In his evidence on behalf of AML Limited & Allied Concrete, Mr Tollemache supports the rezoning of 20 Leon-Leicester Avenue, Mount Wellington from LI to HI.18 The Council acknowledges the context of the site however, the LI zone also provides for existing activities that are located within the zone. Therefore the Council does not consider that the presence alone of such activities is justification enough to rezone the area to HI; other factors including the proximity to existing residential zones need to be considered. Furthermore, the Council considers that if the zone is amended to HI, over time this could encourage additional HI activities to the area that are less benign which could cause sensitivity issues given the proximity to the surrounding residential development. We are therefore instructed that the Council does not support a change to HI and continues to support retention of the notified LI zone. 17 18 Statement of Evidence of Mark Tollemache for Fulton Hogan Limited In Relation To Topic 081e Rezoning And Precincts (Geographical Areas), dated 10 February 2016. Statement of Evidence of Mark Tollemache for AML Limited & Allied Concrete Limited In Relation To Topic 081 Rezoning, dated 10 February 2016. Page 11 x. Sub area C18 – Mt Wellington. In her evidence report on behalf of the Salvation Army, Ms R Fraser-Smith supports the submitter’s request for a rezoning of 18 Allright Place, Mount Wellington from LI to MU. The site is on the edge and within a LI area and is adjacent to an area of THAB. The revised LI zone provisions proposed by the Council provide for the continued use of existing commercial activities and allow change between some commercial uses. This zone also anticipates a range of supporting activities including food and drink, dairies and trade suppliers. While it is acknowledged that there is some MU to the west of the site along Carbine Road, the Council considers that additional MU areas away from centres and the RFN are not appropriate. We are therefore instructed that the Council does not support the requested change to MU and proposes retention of the notified LI zone. Other Rezoning Requests 9. The Council has considered a number of submitter requests for zoning changes, which would have otherwise been addressed in rebuttal evidence from its witnesses. These requests are discussed below according to their sub area. (a) City Centre Fringe (i) Sub area C7 – Newton. The New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) – (1725-434) has sought to rezone 35 Grafton Road, Grafton from Strategic Transport Corridor (STC) to MU. The site is located outside the NZTA’s Designation 6736. This submission point was addressed by Sukhdeep Singh under Topic 080.19 Ms Singh supported the removal of the STC zone from 35 Grafton Road because it aligns with the primary zoning principle for the STC zone where the STC zone should not be applied to any land outside the NZTA and KiwiRail designations. Consequential to this rezoning, she suggested that the High Land Transport Route Noise overlay apply to the subject site and the appropriate zone for this site be determined under Topic 081 (Geographical Area). 19 Evidence Report of Sukhdeep Singh on behalf of Auckland Council for Topic 080, General – Special Purpose Strategic Transport Corridor Zone, dated 3 December 2015 at paras 10.17 to 10.19. Page 12 We are instructed that the Council considers it is appropriate to rezone 35 Grafton Road from STC to MU and to apply the High Land Transport Route Noise overlay on the site, given its close proximity to the City Centre and Hospital. It is noted that the adjacent land to the south is also zoned MU. The site has also recently been rezoned by Private Plan Change 58 under the Operative Auckland Council District Plan (Central Area Section) from the Transport Corridor Precinct to Business 4 under the Operative Isthmus District Plan. Both of these plan changes were approved by the Auckland Council and made operative on 13 January 2013. (b) Eastern Isthmus (i) Sub area C19 – Stonefields and Panmure. In its submission point 6069 relating to 1-37 Mount Wellington Highway, Bunnings Ltd (Bunnings) requested a rezoning of the subject site from MU to General Business (GB). In his evidence on behalf of Bunnings, Matthew Norwell states that the current manufacturing use of the site will be vacating and Bunnings Ltd will be establishing a new outlet on the site. 20 In light of this, Mr Norwell considers that the GB zone is more appropriate for the site.21 Mr Norwell points out that as the adjoining property to the south is zoned GB then this request would not result in a spot zone.22 We are instructed that the Council does not support the requested rezoning. The Council considers that the application of the GB zone is limited and tends to reflect the existing development on site. The Council considers that MU is a better fit in this location, having regard to the RFN, walking distance to centres and its supporting role for nearby centres. (ii) Sub area C19 – Stonefields and Panmure. In its submission point 656, Body Corporate 197887 requests the rezoning of 20-54 Mount Wellington Highway from GB to MU. In his evidence on behalf of Body Corporate 197887, David Haines considers that the current GB zone limits the potential development of the site given its location and with particular regard to the recent improvements in the transport network based around the nearby Panmure 20 21 22 Second statement of evidence of Matthew Norwell on behalf of Bunnings Ltd (Mt Wellington) dated 10 February 2016 at para 3.1. Ibid, para 4.2. Ibid, para 4.4. Page 13 TC.23 In addition, Mr Haines requests the application of a precinct over the site to ensure the existing Large Format Retail activities are properly recognised in the interim.24 As discussed above, the application of the GB zone throughout the region has been limited and generally reflects and enables the existing development of the site while protecting against any adverse effects of the LFR, which is the primary purpose of this zone. The Council considers that this is evident in this instance. The zone is surrounded by MU, which acts as a buffer between this development and the surrounding residential environment. We are therefore instructed that the Council does not support the requested rezoning of this site from GB to MU. With regard to the proposed precinct, the Council has assessed this proposal against the relevant criteria of the Merits Assessment for new precincts (based on the interim guidance of the Panel in their “Best Practice Approach for Precincts”).25 We are instructed by the Council that the precinct has failed to meet the relevant criteria, particularly on the grounds that it only represents a single purpose which is based on the underlying zone controls. The underlying zone and associated activities continue to be supported by the Council in this location. Mr Brown’s landscape evidence responds to a submission by Todd Property Group Limited (Todd Property) (submission 4909-38), which sought the application of Terrace Housing and Apartment Buildings (THAB) zoning to a strip of land at 80 Korere St, Stonefields. The site is between the existing Stonefields subdivision and the foot of Mt Wellington. Mr Brown accepts that an area or areas of reserve / open space are unlikely to be achieved across the subject land, and proposes instead that the land be rezoned Single House with a height limit of 8m. We note that the planning evidence of Neil Donnelly for Todd Property dated 10 February 2016 filed in response agrees that THAB zone is inappropriate and proposes MHS zone instead. We are instructed that the Council, relying on Mr Brown’s evidence, considers Single House zone to be appropriate. 23 24 25 Statement of Primary Evidence of David R Haines on behalf of Body Corporate 197887, dated 10 February 2016, at para 16. Ibid at paras 19-21 and Annexure 3. This guidance was relied upon by Mr Haines at para 34 of his EIC. Page 14 (iii) Sub area C22 – Glendowie. In her submitter evidence,26 Suzanne Weld seeks retention of the SH zone in ‘parts of the Glendowie and Wai o Taiki Bay area which run down to the estuary’. Ms Weld notes in her evidence that her original submission on this matter is not included in the primary evidence of Ms Lucas and Ms Papaconstantinou on behalf of the Council for Topic 081 – Central Rezoning – Eastern Isthmus. Ms Weld’s original submission was unfortunately not given a submission point number or addressed directly in the primary evidence report of Ms Lucas and Ms Papaconstantinou.27 We are instructed that the Council does not support the retention of the SH zone generally throughout the Wai o Taiki Bay area except where environmental constraints, such as flooding risk, exist on sites that would preclude rezoning to MHS. Where sites are not subject to any constraints, rezoning to MHS has been supported by the Council. The Council considers that the MHS zone is consistent with the zoning principles set out in John Duguid’s Statement of Primary Evidence (Topic 081 Rezoning), and therefore does not support the request to retain SH zoning in this area. (iv) Sub area C23 – St Heliers, Mission Bay and Kohimarama. In her further submission point FS2192 and supporting evidence,28 Ms Frances Battersby on behalf of the Frances Battersby Family Trust opposes a number of submissions which seek to either rezone the properties at 96 and 98 Allum Street from SH to MHS or seek to remove the SEA (SEA_T_6180) from these properties. Ms Battersby supports her position with evidence that she presented post hearing for Topic 023 (SEA and vegetation management).29 As a result of this evidence the Council has agreed to include an additional area of SEA for the abovementioned properties, consequently increasing the area to greater than 20% (the measure applied as a trigger for the rezoning principles). In its submission point 7094, Kohimarama Trust Limited requests that the SH zone for properties 110 – 126 Allum Street, 278 – 280 Kohimarama Road 26 27 28 29 Evidence report of Suzanne Weld for Topic 081 dated 11 February 2016. However, Ms Weld’s further submission, in opposition to the Tamaki Redevelopment company submission to rezone from SH to MHS in this area (#4854-10) was considered at Attachment C of the EIC of Ms Lucas and Ms Papaconstantinou. Evidence report of Frances Battersby on behalf of the Frances Battersby Family Trust dated 10 February 2016. As discussed in the legal submissions for the Frances Battersby Family Trust for Topic 023, dated 10 August 2016. Page 15 and the southern portion of 19 Pamela Place be rezoned to MHS and that reference to the SEA be removed for these properties and for 92 – 108 Allum Road. The properties between 92 – 128 Allum Street and 280 – 310 Kohimarama Road, Mission Bay had a notified zone of SH (278 Kohimarama Road was notified as MHS). They were subject to the Historic Character overlay (proposed to be revised from Special Character overlay). This has since been retracted from these properties as the result of a review of this overlay through Topic 079 (Special Character and Pre-1944 Mapping). The properties are also subject to the SEA – SEA_T_6180 to varying degrees. In accordance with the Council’s zoning principles, where an SEA affects more than 20% of the property then the property is to be zoned SH. Based on the advice of Council’s Biodiversity experts in terms of the SEA coverage it was advised that the SH zone should remain over the properties 110 – 126 Allum Street and 280 Kohimarama Road and be applied to 278 Kohimarama Road. The remaining properties were considered to have sufficient land area unaffected by the SEA and therefore could be rezoned MHS. With specific regard to the properties at 96 and 98 Allum Street - on their own these properties constitute a spot zone if zoned SH while retaining MHS zone over some other properties along Allum Street as addressed in the Council’s primary evidence for Topic 081e.. Consequently, the Council considers that keeping the proposed zone of MHS (as outlined in Council’s primary evidence) is appropriate in this case and that the criteria and controls applied through the SEA overlay will manage the effects of any future development of these sites. For the reasons discussed above, we are instructed that the Council does not support the requests to rezone the properties at 110-126 Allum Street, 278-280 Kohimarama Road or the southern portion of 19 Pamela Place, Mission Bay. Page 16 (c) Western Isthmus (i) Sub area C14 - Lynfield, Blockhouse Bay and Hillsborough. The evidence of David Wren on behalf of Peng Chen (FS3898) opposes the retention of the notified SH zone at 22 Martin Avenue and the application of the Pre-1944 BDC on this property. 30 This is due to the site's location and ability to provide for increased residential intensities close to a railway station. Mr Wren supports the change of zone from notified SH to MHS zone at 22 Martin Avenue.31 This further submission is requesting an out of scope change as the property subject to this evidence (22 Martin Avenue, Mount Albert) does not align with the properties mentioned in the original submissions of Peng Chen (8393712, 839-4308 and 839-4309). We are instructed that the change sought to rezone 22 Martin Avenue to MHS zone is not supported by the Council as this site is affected by the Pre-1944 BDC and the outcomes the Pre-1944 BDC seeks to achieve align with the objectives of the SH zone. 32 The Council supports the retention of the notified SH zone to ensure that spot zoning does not occur and the integrity of Margaret Avenue and Chatham Avenue is maintained through the consistent application of the SH zone over the block (Margaret Avenue, Chatham Avenue, Martin Avenue and Parkdale Road). (ii) Sub area C14 - Lynfield, Blockhouse Bay and Hillsborough. The evidence of Peter Reaburn33 and Chris Solleder34 on behalf of RSSB NZ Limited (5501) support the proposed change of notified SH to MHS zone at 78 and 80 Olsen Ave, Hillsborough in the Evidence Report of Gurvinderpal Singh, Stephen Craig Van Kampen, Vanita Ranchhod, Cosette Mia Saville, and Tim Jeevanraj Solomon on behalf of Auckland Council for Topic 081e – Central Area Rezoning – Western Isthmus.35 30 31 32 33 34 35 Statement of Primary Evidence of Edward David Wren On Behalf Of Peng Chen, dated 10 February 2016. Ibid at paras 8-9. As discussed in the evidence report of Deborah Olivia Rowe nn Behalf Of Auckland Council for Topic 080 (Planning - Pre-1944 Overlay Zoning Principles), dated 3 December 2015. Statement of Evidence of Peter Dean Reaburn on Behalf Of RSSB NZ Limited, 78- 80 Olsen Avenue and 66 And 68 Melrose Road, dated 10 February 2016. Statement of Evidence of Chris Anthony Solleder (Engineering) on Behalf of RSSB NZ Limited, 78-80 Olsen Avenue and 66 And 68 Melrose Road, dated 10 February 2016. At Attachment C. Page 17 However, Mr Reaburn opposes the retention of the notified SH zone at 66 and 68 Melrose Road, Mount Roskill.36 Mr Reaburn seeks a zone change at 66 and 68 Melrose Road from notified SH to MHS zone. Mr Solleder considers that the construction of an additional stormwater trunk line has reduced the flooding risks over the 66 and 68 Melrose Road properties and supports a zone change to MHS.37 Jon Rix from Tonkin and Taylor on behalf of Auckland Council’s Stormwater Unit has reviewed the engineering report prepared by Mr Solleder and confirms that the new stormwater trunk line that passes through the subject property, constructed to alleviate flooding on Olsen Avenue does not alleviate the 1% AEP flooding risks at 66 and 68 Melrose Road. The new stormwater pipe does not reduce the predicted extent or level of the 1% AEP flood event. Instead, the new pipe reduces flood risk in more frequently occurring storm events. The flood mapping on Council’s GIS reflects the 1% AEP flood risk present on the site. The properties at 66 and 68 Melrose Road are affected by flooding constraints and therefore we are instructed that the Council does not support the proposed the zone change from SH to MHS. (iii) Sub area C13 – Royal Oak. The evidence of Vaughan Smith on behalf of The Warehouse Limited (2748, FS2880) opposes the proposed rezoning from notified THAB zone to MU zone at 677, 677A and 679 Mt Albert Road, Royal Oak in the Evidence Report of Mr Singh, Mr Van Kampen, Ms Ranchhod, Ms Saville, and Mr Solomon on behalf of the Council and seeks a zone change to GB.38 These sites are currently used as a secondary access way to large format retail activities on 100 Pah Road, Royal Oak. The sites are located on the Mount Albert Road RFN in close walking distance to the Royal Oak Town Centre, adjacent to MU and THAB zoned properties. The Council’s approach to rezoning takes into account the long term goals of the RPS which include providing for commercial growth that contributes 36 37 38 EIC of Mr Reaburn for RSSB NZ at para 3.2. EIC of Mr Solleder for RSSB NZ at paras 2.2 to 3.1. Statement of Evidence of Vaughan Smith on behalf of The Warehouse Limited (Submitter Number 2748, Further Submitter No. 2878) Rezoning – 100 Pah Road and 677, 677A and 679 Mt Albert Road, Royal Oak, dated 11 February 2016 at para 41. Page 18 positively to amenity and achieves a compact and efficient urban form focused within a hierarchy of centres and identified growth corridors. The Council considers that the proposed MU zoning provides for the most appropriate future development potential to support the functioning of the Royal Oak TC, allowing for a transition zone between the TC to the east and the THAB zone to the west, and encouraging the creation of active street interface along a prominent and well pedestrianized part of the Mount Albert Road RFN. We are therefore instructed that the Council does not support the requested rezoning to GB, and considers that the existing use of the sites as an access way to The Warehouse will continue to be provided for through existing resource consents. (iv) Sub area C10 - Epsom, Mount Eden and Eden South. The evidence of Vern Warren on behalf of The Warehouse Limited (2748, FS2880) opposes the retention of the notified SH zone at 16 Rocklands Ave, Balmoral and seeks a change of zone to LC.39 The Council considers that rezoning to LC would provide greater scope for development than was provided for by Plan Change 209 in the Auckland Council District Plan – Isthmus Section (Isthmus District Plan). This Plan Change resulted in the rezoning of the site from Residential 6A to Business 2 in the Isthmus District Plan with additional restrictive controls limiting the type of development on the site. The Council considers that LC zoning could result in significant adverse effects on the residential amenity of Rocklands Ave, beyond the adverse effects which the Plan Change sought to control. The proposed comprehensive development of the site at 16 Rocklands Ave, Balmoral is still able to be undertaken through the approved resource consents (R/LUC/2013/3990 and R/REG/2013/4253). In addition, the site is affected by the HC overlay. The outcomes of the HC are generally aligned with the objectives of the SH zone. We are therefore instructed that the Council does not support the requested rezoning from notified SH to LC zone at 16 Rocklands Ave. 39 Primary Statement of Evidence of Vern Warren on behalf of The Warehouse Limited (Submitter Number 2748), dated 11 February 2016 at paras 35 to 38. Page 19 (v) Sub area C11 - Stoddard Rd, Sandringham Rd Extension and Mount Roskill. Gerard Thompson, on behalf of Kiwi Income Property Trust Limited and Kiwi Property Holdings Limited (5253), considers that LC zoning for the May Road end of Stoddard Road and the Richardson Road/Stoddard Road intersection is more appropriate than the notified PAUP zoning of GB and TC; the MU zoning for the section of land along Stoddard Road between Richardson Road and Sandringham Road Extension is more appropriate than the notified PAUP zoning of TC; and the GB zoning for 112 Stoddard Road, Mount Roskill is more appropriate than the notified PAUP zoning of TC.40 Mr Thompson considers that the notified TC zoning for the centre at the section of land along Stoddard Road between Richardson Road and Sandringham Road Extension and the notified GB zoning for the May Road/Stoddard Road end is inappropriate.41 His view is that the LC zone for both ends of Stoddard Road, with a combination of MU, GB and LI zones in between, is more appropriate.42 Vaughan Smith, on behalf of The National Trading Company of New Zealand Limited (NTC) (2632, FS2963) agrees with the planning analysis and recommendations stated by Mr Thompson, which are supported by NTC’s submission and evidence.43 Michael Fisher, Bobby Shen and John Mackay, on behalf of The New Zealand Institute of Architects Inc., Urban Design Forum and Generation Zero (5277, FS3235, 5280, 5478, FS2558), expressed concern at the size and extent of the notified Stoddard Road TC, MU and GB zones.44 Mr Shen is of the view that it is unnecessary to create a business/retail zone longer than Ponsonby Road and more than twice as wide at Stoddard Road. 40 41 42 43 44 Planning Statement of Evidence of Gerard Thompson on Behalf Of Kiwi Income Property Trust Limited And Kiwi Property Holdings Limited (#5253/79-80), Topic 081e – Rezoning And Precincts (Geographical Areas), Stoddard Road Rezoning, dated 10 February 2016.

Statement of Expert Evidence of Michael Fisher, Bobby Shen, John Mackay Topic 080 and O81 - Zoning and Precincts, 081e CENTRAL (Western Isthmus) and 081e CENTRAL (Southern Isthmus) on behalf of the New Zealand Institute of Architects, dated 10 February 2016, at para 9.7. Page 20 53 May Road contains a New World supermarket. 20-22 Stoddard Road contains the Warehouse, as well as a number of other business and retail activities including banks and some chain store food outlets. We are instructed that the Council does not support the request to change to the LC zone because it does not meet RPS 3.1 Policy 4 and 6 (criteria for a new Local Centre) and will undermine the future development of the notified Stoddard Road TC which is located 550m north of this site. The subject site is set up as large format retail with a mix of small and large scaled retail activities. It has poor street interface and is dominated by a car-oriented environment. We are instructed that the Council does not support the potential future development available at this site if zoned to LC zone and considers that the form and function of the proposed LC zone for this site is not consistent with Policy 3.1.4 of the PAUP. In addition, the Council considers that the location of the proposed LC zone change is not consistent with Policy 3.1.6(b) and will undermine the sustainable distribution of centres in the PAUP. The proposed LC is located too close to the existing Stoddard Road TC. The change to LC will create adverse effects, both individually and cumulatively with the Stoddard Road TC, on the distribution, function, role and amenity of the TC, beyond those effects ordinarily associated with trade effects or trade competition. We are instructed that the Council supports the retention of the notified GB zone at 53 May Road and 20-22 Stoddard Road, Mount Roskill. The retail activities provided on the site are appropriately located and identified as part of the GB zone. The PAUP’s zoning of these sites as GB reflects business activities that may be less appropriate for, or are not able to locate in centres, while ensuring activities within the zone do not diminish the function, role and amenity of the Stoddard Road TC. The section of land (both sides) along Stoddard Road between Richardson Road and Sandringham Road Extension contains a number of small and large scale retail and commercial activities, residential properties and community facilities. Page 21 We are instructed that the Council does not support the request to change the notified TC zone to a mix of LC, MU and GB zones. The area is identified as a TC under the Auckland Plan and RPS Centres Hierarchy. It is a focal point for community interaction and contains a diverse range of activities which are distinctive to this centre. The area is very visible and accessible, especially to the new SH20 connection currently under construction. There is a significant amount of growth potential and redevelopment opportunities (both commercial and residential) in the area. The Council considers that a down-zone to a LC zone or a mix of zones will not provide the sufficient space and opportunity for commercial and residential growth in this area. The application of the notified TC zone recognises and provides additional redevelopment potential in the area that is anticipated long-term for this area. (d) Southern Isthmus (i) Sub area C18 – Mt Wellington. Mr C Moriarty for Summerset Group Holdings Limited supports the rezoning of 2, 4, 6, 8 & 10 Harrison Road, Mount Wellington from MHU to MU.45 Mr Moriarty considers the proposed zone of MHU for 8 Harrison Road to be a spot zone and that MU would reflect the density and scale with the use being provided for in the MU zone. The Council’s proposed zoning of the subject site to MHU is set out in the Evidence Report of Ms Stainwright, Mr Wilson and Mr Eccles for Topic 081e Central Rezoning – Southern Isthmus. The site at 8 Harrison Road is approximately 38,000m2, and located opposite an area of MHU. As such, the Council does not consider the provision of the proposed MHU zone to be a spot zone. The MU zone is typically located around centres and along sections of the rapid and frequent service network. This provides a transition in terms of scale and activity, between residential areas and the Centre zones. This particular area is located away from Ellerslie Town Centre and as such any substantial new MU area could detract from the function, role and amenity of nearby centres and in doing so the success of the centres focussed approach in the RPS. 45 Statement Of Primary Evidence Of Craig Barry Moriarty for Summerset Group, dated 18 February 2016. Page 22 The map in the Primary Evidence of Ms Stainwright, Mr Wilson and Mr Eccles,46 shows the proposed change as in scope where it should be an out of scope change. This is a result of proposing an alternative zone to that requested by submitters. This proposed change was presented in the EIC of Mr Philip Brown in Topic 080d Retirement villages. We are instructed that the Council does not support the change to MU and continues to support proposed zone of MHU for 8 Harrison Road and support the retention of LI for the remaining sites. Housing New Zealand Submissions 10. As discussed above, there is a significant divergence in the approach to zoning principles taken by HNZ and the approach taken by the Council. To assist the Panel, the key differences in the rezoning position of the Council and HNZ for the Central area (by topic area and sub area) are set out below. City Centre Fringe Ponsonby / Herne Bay / St Marys Bay/ Freemans Bay [ C2 ] 11. HNZ has only shown on its “Principles Map” attached to its planners' evidence in chief how Ponsonby would be impacted47 – the actual extent of to where HNZ’s rezoning evidence applies is not clear. While further detail has been provided for areas surrounding HNZ landholdings in Grey Lynn and Freemans Bay in particular, it is difficult to see to where the ‘scope for change’ according to HNZ extends. 12. HNZ’s application of MHU in Kelmarna Ave and Moira Street is based on walking distance to Herne Bay LC, park and school. The Council’s position is predominantly MHS and SH zones in these same areas. HNZ is applying MHU extensively over areas identified with Pre-1944 BDC overlays, where the Council is proposing to retain SH zone. 13. HNZ properties around Anglesea and Hepburn Streets, Freemans Bay, are subject to the HC overlay. It is submitted that HNZ’s application of THAB has no regard for the HC overlay. Its proposed zoning is based on the location of Ponsonby TC and RFN in relation to the HNZ properties and surrounding areas. 46 47 Page 144, Map ‘Central C18, Mount Wellington – Revised Zones’. Joint Statement of Primary Evidence of Amelia Linzey and Matthew Lindenberg on behalf of HNZ for Topic 081, dated 19 February 2016, Attachment B. Page 23 Grey Lynn / Westmere [ C3 ]: 14. HNZ’s positon seeks extensively wider application of MHU and THAB zoning than that proposed by the Council. Properties in Grey Lynn and Westmere, including the area surrounding the West Lynn shops, are extensively identified with HC or Pre-1944 BDC overlays. 15. In accordance with HNZ’s principle that overlays should not impact on zoning,48 HNZ’s application of MHU or THAB does not take into consideration the Pre-1944 BDC around West Lynn LC. 16. The Council notes that HNZ has applied the MHU zone beyond 800m from the Grey Lynn and Westmere LCs, thus appearing to be ‘stretching’ the application of its principles in this area causing further divergence from the Council’s position. 17. HNZ properties around Great North Road in Grey Lynn are subject to flooding and sloping topography. In accordance with its principles, HNZ ignores these constraints and its application of THAB and MU zones is primarily based on their principles regarding walking distance to LC and RFN. Kingsland / Morningside [ C6 ]: 18. HNZ’s application of THAB on Saint Lukes Road is based on the location of its properties close to TC and RFN. In this same area, the Council’s position is predominantly MHU and MHS zones as notified zones, and there is some in-scope rezoning to MHU south of Saint Lukes Road. Eastern Isthmus Remuera/ Meadowbank/ Saint Johns [ C25 ]: 19. In the area around Meadowbank train station, HNZ’s position applies MHU extending further from the RFN (train station and on Meadowbank Road), whereas the Council’s position rezones to MHU approx. 250m from the station through in-scope changes responding to submissions. This aligns with the Council’s principles and the submissions 48 As discussed in the joint statement of evidence of Ms Linzey and Mr Lindenberg on behalf of HNZ for Topic 080, and referred to at para 33 of their joint statement of evidence for Topic 081. Page 24 that requested intensification within proximity of the station. HNZ (and some of the submitters in this area) seek to extend MHU further than that which the Council is proposing. 20. The Council's position is that areas subject to the HC overlay should be SH. HNZ does not take into consideration the HC overlay over these sites and proposes MHU as it aligns with the HNZ locational zoning principles regarding proximity to the RFN. 21. HNZ has extensive application of MHU throughout the whole area beyond the rezoning principle criteria. Following the Council's Resolution of the Council on 24 February 2016 (Resolution), its position has spot zones of MHU. 22. In the area of Coates Ave and Kepa Road, it appears as if no consideration is given by HNZ to overlays (pre-1944 BDC). However, HNZ’s position broadly reflects the Council's principles in regards to proximity to RFN on Coates Ave and Kepa Road. Mission Bay / Kohimarama / Saint Heliers [ C23 ]: 23. HNZ seeks MHU zoning along Kohimarama Road, Godden Crescent, and Atkin Ave in line with its principles in relation to proximity to the RFN. For the most part however, the zoning proposed in much of the Mission Bay, Kohimarama, Saint Heliers, and Glendowie areas appears to be more in line with the Council’s principles than HNZ’s principles. Applying the HNZ principles would result in significantly more THAB and MHU zoning in these areas, as can be seen on the HNZ “principles map” filed with their planners' evidence in chief. Glendowie [ C22 ]: 24. The Council’s position following its Resolution has resulted in spot zones of MHU in Crossfield Rd, Cranbrook Place and Riddell Rd, with a mix of MHS and SH elsewhere. HNZ’s position generally reflects the Council’s primary report as noted in respect of Mission Bay / Kohimarama / Saint Heliers above. Stonefields/ Panmure/Glen Innes and Point England [ C19 and C20 ]: 25. The major differences are that HNZ applies additional MHU in the north around Leybourne Circle and Castledine Crescent (which the Council proposes to zone as MHS) and additional THAB east of the Panmure TC along Matapan Road towards Dunkirk. HNZ has Page 25 proposed intensification in this area based around it being a Special Housing Area and as part of the regeneration area led by Tamaki Redevelopment Company . Western Isthmus Epsom/ Sandringham / Saint Lukes / Mt Eden [ C10 ]: 26. Only parts of the south and east of this area are included in the HNZ maps. HNZ appears to retain the THAB zoning proposed by the Council around Dominion Road and around the Sandringham Rd LC and St Lukes TC with minimal expansion. 27. HNZ has generally proposed MHU zoning to the rest of its properties due to their proximity to FNs, replacing MHS and SH zonings as proposed in the Council’s evidence which were due to heritage and flooding. Stoddard Road, Sandringham Rd Extension and Mt Roskill [ C11 ]: 28. HNZ’s position seeks significantly greater application of THAB, replacing MHU, MHS and SH being the Council’s position (following the Resolution) around Stoddard Road TC. This is primarily to the north of the TC where there are flooding issues. HNZ proposes that MHU be applied to all other HNZ areas, whereas the Council’s position is to retain predominantly MHS zone. Much of this area is within the HSA overlay. Three Kings [ C12 ]: 29. HNZ seeks greater application of THAB around Three Kings TC, particularly to the West and South. Notably this includes areas along the western ridge of the quarry. HNZ seeks that all other areas are generally zoned MHU. The difference between the Council’s position (following the Resolution) and HNZ is more pronounced to the west of the Quarry where the Council’s position on zoning is primarily SH and MHS. 30. HNZ and the Council both appear to support a SH zoning to the north of the Three Kings maunga so as to not impact views of the maunga. This contradicts the MHU zoning it has proposed elsewhere around the maunga and its own principles. Page 26 Royal Oak [ C13 ] 31. HNZ has largely kept the Council’s zonings in this sub area, except for expansion of THAB over Council’s MHS zoned areas to the south-east of the Royal Oak TC. Point Chevalier / Waterview [ C4 ]: 32. HNZ seeks an expanded THAB zoning around the Point Chevalier Town Centre to align with its principle of having THAB zoning within 400 metres from a Town Centre. The proposed MHU zoning is substantially expanded (it does not acknowledge pre-1944 BDC and flooding overlays) around THAB areas, Meola Rd. 33. HNZ has not applied its principles to the full extent down the northern end of Pt Chevalier Rd, instead keeping largely to the Council position (which has not changed following the Resolution). 34. In Waterview, HNZ has largely supported the Council position (which has not changed following the Resolution), however HNZ has slightly extended the application of the MHU zone. Mt Albert [ C5 ]: 35. HNZ seeks an expanded THAB zoning around the Mt Albert TC and sites close to the Stoddard Rd TC, disregarding heritage overlays. It also seeks a large expansion of MHU covering the large majority of HNZ properties in the area. Avondale / New Windsor /Blockhouse Bay [ W15 ]: 36. The only difference is that the Council’s position (following the Resolution) proposes that some properties along Wingate St and Great North Rd be zoned MHU, whereas HNZ has proposed zoning this area as THAB due to its proximity to the Avondale TC. Avondale / Rosebank Road [ W14 ]: 37. In the Avondale/ Rosebank residential areas north & north-east of Ash Street and Great North Road, the areas proposed to be zoned as THAB are generally the same in the HNZ and the Council positions. However, HNZ proposes a much wider application of MHU than Page 27 the Council, covering most of this residential area. The extent of MHU zoning applied by HNZ is in some cases inconsistent with its own principles regarding proximity to a Town Centre (beyond 800m) and/or frequent transport network (beyond 250m). 38. The proposed HNZ rezoning takes no account of some significant flooding constraints in this area. The Council’s position is to zone areas with significant flooding contraints as SH. 39. Coastal areas that are constrained by good pedestrian accessibility (given cul-de-sac roading design) to Town Centre and/or public transport have been proposed to be rezoned to MHS by HNZ, whereas the Council position (following the Resolution) has been to zone as SH. Avondale Town Centre & nearby residential areas to the north 40. HNZ generally proposes a similar application of the TC and MU zones as the Council, but HNZ proposes a much wider application of the THAB & MHU zones north of the Town Centre as it does not take into account Pre-1944 & identified historic character areas where the Council has proposed zoning MHS or SH. Southern Isthmus Penrose /Onehunga [C15]: 41. In these areas, HNZ has not considered overlays and has proposed up-zoning, in particular, a wider application of THAB & MHU, and increased use of higher densities further away from Onehunga Town Centre. One Tree Hill/Oranga [C16]: 42. In this area, HNZ has sought a wider application of MHU, than proposed by the Council, and it has not considered overlays. Mount Wellington [C18]: 43. HNZ seeks a wider extent of MHU be applied due to interpretation of its proximity principles and definition of a ‘Frequent Network (FN)’ as opposed to a Rapid and Frequent Transit Page 28 Network (RFN), and a wider application of THAB & MHU in general including in Parry Road, Walters Road and surrounds. Otahuhu [S8]: 44. HNZ has not considered overlays or reverse sensitivity due to the proximity to Heavy Industry areas and has proposed up-zoning in those areas. It has also proposed a wider application for MHU and gone beyond its own principles in some areas including Princes Street East. Changes in Position 45. Following consideration of submitter evidence we have been instructed that the Council has changed its position in relation to certain rezoning proposals, which are set out below according the relevant geographical sub area. City Centre Fringe Sub area C8 – Parnell Rezoning of land around Parnell Station 46. In their submisstions, the Parnell Business Association (Parnell Inc.) (2016-6) and KiwiRail (4336-153) have requested a change of zone from Strategic Transport Corridor (STC) to MU. These submissions refer to the site located between the railway line and Cheshire Street, currently zoned STC, and described as Lot 1 DP 477135. The zoning of the land is shown in Figure 1 below. Page 29 Figure 1: Zoning of Land around Parnell Station 47 The subject site is no longer owned by KiwiRail, having been sold to Summerset Holdings Ltd (Summerset), although still covered by the designations ID 6300, and 6301 (Newmarket Branch Railway Line and North Auckland Railway Line). Summerset have inherited the submission point by KiwiRail and presented their evidence through the Topic 080 evidence exchange. The submitter and the Council had agreed to address the submitter’s evidence through the Topic 081 hearing track, but inadvertently did not address the submissions in primary evidence for Topic 081. 48. The subject site falls away steeply, continuing the slope from Parnell Road, located along the ridgeline, down to the railway line that runs along the border of the Domain. The site narrows to the south to around 20m in depth. The site is bordered to the north and east by the MU zone, and to the west by the railway line, while zones to the south include SH, MHS, and THAB. The MU zone would allow for a range of development supporting the Parnell Town Centre and aligned with the railway station. Page 30 49. We are instructed that the Council supports rezoning the site from STC to MU with the application of the City Centre Fringe Office controls. No additional height is either sought or suggested for the site, and as such the default height of 18m (proposed to be revised from 16.5m through Topic 051-054 evidence) applies. Parnell Cathedral 50. Submissions 2016-7 and 4422-9, by the Parnell Business Association and The General Trust Board of the Diocese of Auckland (GTB) respectively, have both sought a zone change for 446 Parnell Road, 8 Cathedral Place, 9 St Stephens Ave and 1a Brighton, Parnell (the Parnell Cathedral site). The relevant zoning of the subject site is set out below at Figure 2. The Parnell Business Association seeks to rezone the land to MU while the GTB seek THAB. In his statement of evidence on behalf of GTB, Craig McGarr contends that the THAB zone is appropriate for the subject property.49 51. As stated by Ms Mein in her evidence for Topic 079, the Holy Trinity Cathedral and its site are a significant landmark in Parnell, marking one end of Parnell village at the southern and highest point of Parnell Rise.50 In recognition of the importance of the Anglican diocese and this location in the historic development of Parnell, Ms Mein proposed retention of the Historic Character overlay but replacement of the Isthmus A residential historic character area with the Parnell business historic character area.51 The site in question forms part of an important transition from the commercial core of Parnell Rise and the surrounding residential development, being closely aligned with Parnell village, yet containing historic residential dwellings and located adjacent to the residential neighbourhood. We are instructed by the Council that application of the THAB zone is compatible with the Parnell Business Historic Character overlay area. 52. It is also important to note the implication of the height in relation to boundary rule in considering this change. When the THAB zone borders a lower intensity residential zone the building line is a 45 degree line 2.5m above the property boundary. The properties to the east and south site do lie significantly lower than the Cathedral site. 53. We are instructed that the Council agrees with Ms Mein that the application of the Historic Character overlay Parnell business area together with an underlying THAB zone are more 49 50 51 Statement of Evidence of Craig McGarr for GTB in relation to Topics 079 and 081, dated 18 December 2015 at paras 3.22 and 3.23.

Page 31 enabling than the notified Isthmus A combined with SH zone, providing for an array of development opportunities whilst still recognising and providing for the historic character values of the site. 446 Parnell Road, 8 Cathedral Place, 9 St Stephens Ave and 1a Brighton Figure 2: Parnell Cathedral site, Parnell Eastern Isthmus Sub area C25 – Remuera, Meadowbank and St Johns 81 Ngapuhi Road, Remuera 54. In his submission point 1501-1 and supporting evidence,52 Phillip Dexter requested that the property at 81 Ngapuhi Road be rezoned from SH to MHS as he believes the property is not subject to any greater flood constraint than other properties in the area zoned MHS or already redeveloped as multi dwelling sites. 52 Evidence report of Philip Dexter dated 10 February 2016. Page 32 55. In their primary report on behalf of the Auckland Council, 53 Ms Lucas and Ms Papaconstantinou did not support a rezoning to MHS as the properties were subject to the flooding constraint. This has since been reviewed and the constraint has been removed from 81 Ngapuhi Road, as well as from 77, 77A, 79 and 79A Ngapuhi Road, which were also subject to the flooding constraint. 56. We are instructed that the Council now considers that a rezoning of 81 Ngapuhi Road from SH to MHS is appropriate. The remaining properties referred to remain SH zoned sites as there are no submissions seeking the rezoning of those properties. Western Isthmus Sub area C13 – Royal Oak 100 Pah Road, Royal Oak 57. The evidence of Vaughan Smith on behalf of The Warehouse Limited (2748-9; FS2880) opposes the retention of the notified LI zone at 100 Pah Road, Royal Oak and seeks a zone change to GB.54 58. The site reflects and includes large format retail such as The Warehouse, Warehouse Stationary, and ancillary businesses that align with the objectives of the GB zone. The LI zone anticipates industrial activities such as manufacturing, production, logistics, storage, transport and distribution activities that is not consistent with the site. The Council therefore considers that rezoning the site to GB will not adversely affect the function, role and amenity of the Royal Oak TC, and accordingly supports the proposed rezoning from notified LI to GB zone at 100 Pah Road. Corrections 59. The Council has identified a number of errors and anomalies in relation to the Central area: 53 Joint evidence report on submissions By Lee-Ann Mary Lucas and Anna Papaconstantinou on behalf of Auckland Council for Topic 081 – Central Rezoning: Eastern Isthmus dated 26 January 2016, at Attachment C.

(b) relate to areas where there has been no change in zoning from the notified PAUP but which have been incorrectly identified as ‘areas of change’ on planning maps in the primary evidence reports. 60. The proposed corrections are set out at in the two attachments below. !

Orakei (C24) Eastern Isthmus 60A Kupe Street MHS MHU One property at the rear of the site with access off Kupe Street was not zoned MHU in the notified PAUP. MHU is the most appropriate zone for the site as it is not subject to any environmental constraints and is located in close proximity to the RFN and NC on Kepa Road. Rezoning to MHU is supported in keeping with the zoning of the adjacent 60B and 60C Kupe Street. This is an out of scope change. Remuera (C25) Eastern Isthmus 109 Portland Road, Remuera SH In scope MHS The site was subject to a submission to rezone from SH to MHS – which was supported. Site is situated in a row of sites that were rezoned ‘out of scope’ and consequently was rezoned to SH when maps were amended to reflect Governing Body decision 24 Feb. It should maintain its MHS zoning and be shown as an ‘in scope’ change. Stonefields (C19) Eastern Isthmus 80 Korere Street POS In scope - SH 80 Korere Street is subject to a submission to rezone from POS to THAB (4909-38) and the change at the site should be marked as in scope SH. Onehunga (C15) Southern Isthmus 73 Trafalgar Street MHS Yes A change from MHS to MHU is supported in the Primary Report, but the map change was not reflected in planning maps in Attachment E of the Primary report. Page 2 Submission 5716-2831 makes a submission on this siter. Propose to rezone the driveway to ensure consistent zoning with the rest of the site. The application of MHU is the most appropriate way of achieving the zone objectives and gives effect to the RPS. Sylvia Park, Mount Wellington South (C17) Southern Isthmus Road Reserve DP 19468 Great South Road/Penrose Road Penrose LI Road A change to road is supported in Attachment C of the Primary Evidence but the planning map, page 142. Map ‘Central C17, Sylvia Park, Mount Wellington South – Revised Zones’ in the same report shows the PAUP zone of LI, not road. Mount Wellington (C18) Southern Isthmus 8 Harrison Road, Mt Wellington LI MHU The map in the Primary Evidence of Ms Stainwright, Mr Wilson and Mr Eccles, page 144, Map ‘Central C18, Mount Wellington – Revised Zones’ shows the proposed change as in scope where it should be an out of scope change. This is a result of proposing an alternative zone to that requested by submitters. This proposed change was presented in the EIC of Mr Philip Brown in Topic 080d Retirement villages. Ellerslie (C21) Southern Isthmus 30, 32, MHS MHU A change from MHS to MHU is supported. The Primary Rezoning Evidence lists sites as affected properties and inferred zoning would be amended to MHU but was not reflected in the maps. 32A, 32B, 36, 36A, 36B, 36C, 38-40 Morrin Street Submission point 5696-56 makes a submission on this site. The area is adjacent to higher density areas and close to transport networks. The rezoning to MHU allows further intensification and this is the most appropriate way to achieve the objectives of this zone and gives effect to the RPS. Page 3 Pt Chevalier (C4) Western Isthmus 8 Premier Ave, Pt Chevalier MHU/MU split zone MU The site had a split zone of MHU and MU in the notified PAUP. Corrected in Primary report and listed in Attachment F (Out of scope changes). Support the change of notified MHU to MU zone. The property was notified with split zones of MHU and MU. The site is located on and adjacent to a RFN and part of the commercial business corridor along Great North Road leading up to Pt Chevalier TC. The full site is proposed to rezone and retain MU zone. Balmoral (C10) Western Isthmus Three sites between 2 Halston Rd and 652-660 Dominion Rd, Mt Eden MHU LC Support out of scope change of notified MHS to LC zone for strip of three sites between 2 Halston Road and 652-660 Dominion Road, Mount Eden. The properties are part of the LC zoned sites located on Dominion Road. The strip is a driveway that services the LC sites and at the back of the properties. Propose change to LC zone to reflect local context. The rezoning is the most appropriate way to achieve the objectives of the LC zone and gives effect to the RPS. Sandringham (C10) Western Isthmus 18 Arabi Street, Sandringham SH/MHU SH The site was notified with split zones of SH and MHS. Whole site to be rezoned SH as it is under HC overlay. The site is affected by the HC and rezoning to SH zone is proposed because the outcomes the HC seeks to achieve generally align with the objectives of the SH zone and rezoning gives effect to the RPS. Mt Roskill (C11) Western Isthmus Road frontage on 124 Stoddard Rd, Mt Roskill TC Road (not a zone) A portion of the road has been zoned TC in front of 124 Stoddard Road property. Remove TC zone on road. Mt Roskill (C11) Western Isthmus Road frontage on 210 Richardson Rd. TC Road (not a zone) A portion of the road has been zoned TC in front of 210 Stoddard Road property. Remove TC zone on road. Page 4 Mt Roskill (C11) Western Isthmus 1370, 1372, 1374, 1376, 1378 Dominion Road STC MHS Consequential amendment identified from Topic 080 Strategic Transport Corridor (STC) report by Sukhdeep Singh relating to submission #1725-435. The submission point seeks to “rezone 1370-1378 Dominion Road, Mount Roskill from STC to MHS”. In her report, Ms Singh is supporting the requested change and proposing the removal of the STC zone and applying the MHS zone as proposed under the Primary Report. The change was not made to maps submitted part of the Western Isthmus Primary Report Evidence. Correct identification of change in scope on maps as stated in Primary Report. Three Kings (C12) Western Isthmus 898 Mt Eden Road, Three Kings THAB N/A Access driveway lot to 898A Mt Eden Road was rezoned to THAB and shown as out of scope, but is part of adjoining sites of 898 and 898A Mt Eden Road that is shown in scope and rezoned to THAB. Driveway to be shown in scope. Royal Oak (C12) Western Isthmus 221c St Andrews Road SH/MHS SH Support out of scope change of notified MHS to SH zone for part of site at 211C St Andrews Road, Epsom. The property has a split zone of SH and MHS zone and is subject to the HC overlay. The site is affected by the HC and rezoning to SH zone is proposed because the outcomes the HC seeks to achieve generally align with the objectives of the SH zone and rezoning gives effect to the RPS. Three Kings (C12) Western Isthmus 2 Queensway, Three Kings SH/MHS split zone MHS Support out of scope change of notified SH to MHS zone for part of the site at 2 Queensway, Three Kings. The property has a split zone of SH and MHS zone and is subject to the HC overlay. However, Council’s Heritage team confirm that there is a mapping anomaly and there are no heritage features on the site. Support change to MHS zone to align with surrounding residential properties. The rezoning is the most appropriate way to achieve the objectives of the MHS zone and gives effect to Page 5 the RPS. Avondale (W14) Western Isthmus 6a Oregon Ave, Avondale MHS SH Change zone from MHS to SH zone. The change is "in scope" with Submission 5716-2801.

Evidence to Be Called 1.3 The Council intends to call the following witnesses: (a) Melean Absolum (landscape – Future Urban zoning of land in North East Pukekohe); (b) Robert Hillier (geotechnical – Future Urban zoning of land in North East Pukekohe); 1 (c) Jeremy Wyatt (planning – business zoning at Ormiston); (d) Natalie Hampson (economics – land at Ormiston); and (e) Natalie Hampson (economics – Hingaia Local Centre).

Attach - Rezoning - 081f South - 8.3.16.docxAttach - Rezoning - 081f South - 8.3.16.docx Page 2 ISSUES ARISING FROM SUBMITTER EVIDENCE 79 Ormiston Road, Flat Bush – Submitter: Ormiston Centre Ltd (formally Firmount Trust) (#3091) Council position 1.4 The planning evidence by Mr Yu for Ormiston Centre Ltd seeks General Business zoning for the property at 79 Ormiston Road, Flat Bush. The Council's position is that the notified Light Industry zoning should be retained for the property. Reasons 1.5 The property is zoned Business 5 under the Auckland District Plan (Manukau Section), however an equivalent zone is not provided for in the PAUP. The options available within the PAUP framework are therefore to retain the Light Industry zone, rezone to Mixed Use or General Business (as requested by submitters on adjacent properties), or apply a Precinct that applies the same rules as the Business 5 zone. 1.6 Mr Yu suggests that rezoning to General Business would enable 122,500m2 of commercial and industrial floorspace. In this regard, the wider effects of the allowable retail development that would be enabled by the General Business zone have the potential to impact the viability of the existing centre network, and the nearby Botany Town Centre in particular. These impacts are generally discussed in Ms Hampson's rebuttal evidence2 and the rebuttal evidence of Mr Wyatt. 1.7 The Council's position is that the benefits of retaining the Light Industry zone have not been adequately accounted for by M Yu, and that the loss of Light Industry zoned land in the Highbrook-East Tamaki industrial hub would have a range of potentially significant adverse effects.3 Given the size of the property, the Council's position is that a comprehensive redevelopment would be best achieved through the resource consent or plan change process. 2 3 Rebuttal evidence of Natalie Hampson on behalf of Auckland Council in relation to 79 Ormiston Road, Flat Bush (economics), dated 3 March 2016 at [4.1] – [4.4]. Rebuttal evidence of Natalie Hampson on behalf of Auckland Council in relation to 79 Ormiston Road, Flat Bush (economics), dated 3 March 2016 at [4.3(e)]. 31560772:631364 Page 3 246 Great South Road and 1-7 Mcannalley Street, Manurewa – Submitter: MD Holdings Limited (#1030-1, 1030-2) Council position 1.8 The planning evidence of Mr Childs for MD Holdings Limited seeks Mixed Use zoning for the properties at 246 Great South Road and 1-7 Mcannalley Street, Manurewa. The Council's position is that the notified Neighbourhood Centre zoning should be retained for these properties. Reasons 1.9 The properties are not located adjacent to the Manurewa Town Centre, and the Council's position is that the notified zoning is appropriate because sufficient intensification has already been provided for in areas directly surrounding the Centre. Furthermore, Mixed Use zoning in this location would not provide an appropriate transition of intensification and building height moving away from the Centre. Therefore, the notified zoning is the most appropriate way to achieve the objectives of the Neighbourhood Centre zone, and gives effect to the RPS including the centres strategy/hierarchy. 425 Clarks Beach Road, Waiau Pa – Submitter: Orepunga Farms Limited (#2196) Council position 1.10 The planning evidence of Mr Warren for Orepunga Farms Limited seeks Rural and Coastal Settlement zoning for the property at 425 Clarks Beach Road, Waiau Pa. The Council's position is that the notified Mixed Rural zoning should be retained for the property. Reasons 1.11 The Council's position is that the zoning change sought by the submitter is not appropriate as it will not achieve RPS B2.1 as the property is not located in close proximity to any centres or urban facilities. Furthermore, the proposal will not 31560772:631364 Page 4 achieve RPS B2.5, which for rural and coastal towns and villages, seeks to contain growth within the existing extent of unserviced settlements. 27 Linwood Road, Karaka – Submitter: The Pakuranga Hunt Incorporated (#3099) Council position 1.12 The planning evidence of Mr Putt for the Pakuranga Hunt Incorporated seeks Rural and Coastal Settlement zoning for the property at 27 Linwood Road, Karaka. The Council's position is that the notified Rural Coastal zoning should be retained for the property. Reasons 1.13 Given the property is located immediately adjacent to the coast and in line with Mr Brown's landscape evidence-in-chief for Topic 081a,4 the Council's position is that Rural Coastal zoning is appropriate to: 1.14 (a) maintain the natural character of the coastal edge; (b) provide a natural buffer to coastal erosion; and (c) contribute to visual amenity values. The property is also located on prime soil,5 which is a further reason for the Rural Coastal zoning being retained. 4 5 Evidence-in-chief of Stephen Brown on behalf of Auckland Council (Landscape) dated 29 January 2016 at [196] - [199]. Topic 081a evidence-in-chief of Fiona Curran-Cournane on behalf of Auckland Council (Land and Soil Science), dated 26 January 2016. 31560772:631364 Page 5 3 Maraetai Coast Road, Maraetai – Submitter: The Marion Ross Memorial Trust Board (#7124-34), 76 Maraetai School Road, Maraetai – Submitter: Maraetai Land Development Limited (#5371-2) and Waiho Block, Maraetai – Submitter: Whitford Forest Holdings Company (#3693) Council position 1.15 The planning evidence of Mr Hay, Mr P Brown and Mr Pearce for the respective submitters seeks: (a) an extension of the Single House zone over part of the property at 3 Maraetai Coast Road instead of Rural Coastal and Mixed Rural zoning as notified; (b) Coutryside Living zoning over the property at 76 Maraetai School Road instead of Mixed Rural zoning as notified; and (c) Future Urban zoning over the northern end of the Waiho Block instead of Mixed Rural zoning as notifed. 1.16 The Council's position is that the notified zoning of these properties should be retained. Reasons 1.17 On the basis of Mr Brown's landscape evidence the Council considers that the notified zoning is necessary to avoid future suburban development from undermining the existing character of the area, which encompasses elevated hill country (made up of bush, forest and pasture) extending from Maraetai towards the Clevedon Scenic Reserve.6 1.18 The Council's position is that retention of the Mixed Rural and Rural Coastal zoning over these properties is the most appropriate way to achieve the objectives of these zones and gives effect to the RPS. 6 Topic 081a rebuttal evidence of Stephen Brown on behalf of Auckland Council (Landscape) at [86] [94]. 31560772:631364 Page 6 Brookby – Submitter: The Maskell Trust (#5164-1) Council position 1.19 The planning evidence of Mr Comer for The Maskell Trust seeks Countryside Living zoning for various properties in Brookby, totalling an area of approximately 1,250ha. The Council's position is that the notified Mixed Rural zoning should be retained for these Brookby properties. Reasons 1.20 On the basis of Mr Brown's landscape evidence the Council considers that the notified zoning is necessary to ensure that the fundamentally rural character of the Brookby area is not compromised.7 Mr Brown considers the area to be one of Auckland's most distinctive landscapes, displaying an exceptionally high level of amenity, which could be eroded by the effects that would accompany the change to residential intensity under the Countryside Living zone. 1.21 Mr Comer acknowledges that the Brookby area is made up of prime land, but that rural production is constrained in the area. Nevertheless, as indicated in the evidence of Ms Curran-Cournane, 8 Countryside Living zoning would effectively curtail any further rural production in the area. 1.22 The Council's position is that retention of the Mixed Rural zoning over the various properties in Brookby is the most appropriate way to achieve the objectives of the Mixed Rural zone and gives effect to the RPS. Clevedon-Kawakawa Road, McNicol Road and Otau Mountain Road – Submitter: Netherlea Holdings Limited (#2415-1, 2415-4), Roscommon Properties Limited (#2551-1) and Stratford Properties Limited (2367-1) Council position 1.23 The planning evidence of Mr Grace seeks Countryside Living zoning over the respective submitters' land in Clevedon, totalling an area of approximately 342ha 7 8 Topic 081a rebuttal evidence of Stephen Brown on behalf of Auckland Council (Landscape) at [95] [100]. Topic 081a evidence-in-chief of Fiona Curran-Cournane on behalf of Auckland Council (Land and Soil Science), dated 26 January 2016 at [7.1] - [7.2]. 31560772:631364 Page 7 along Clevedon Kawakawa Road (east of Clevedon) and near McNichol and Otau Mountain Roads – extending north-east to south-east of Clevedon village. The Council's position is that the notified Rural Coastal and Rural Production zoning should be retained for these Clevedon properties. Reasons 1.24 On the basis of Mr Brown's landscape evidence the Council considers that the notified zoning is appropriate to achieve the retention of demarcation between town and country in the area.9 Mr Brown considers that Countryside Living zoning would have a profound effect on the character and qualities of both Clevedon and the Wairoa River.10 1.25 Mr Grace suggests that the land having limited productive capability is a further reason for the requested zoning. Given the land is predominantly prime land, and because RPS B8.3 Policy 6(b) directs Countryside Living zones to avoid areas of elite and prime land, the Council's position is that Countryside Living zoning is not appropriate. Moreover, as indicated in the evidence of Ms Curran-Cournane, 11 Countryside Living zoning would effectively curtail any further rural production in the area. 1.26 The Council's position is that retention of the Rural Coastal and Rural Production zones over these properties at Clevedon is the most appropriate way to achieve the objectives and the respective zones and gives effect to the RPS.

Topic 081a rebuttal evidence of Stephen Brown on behalf of Auckland Council (Landscape) at [110]. Topic 081a evidence-in-chief of Fiona Curran-Cournane on behalf of Auckland Council (Land and Soil Science), dated 26 January 2016 at [7.1] - [7.2]. 31560772:631364 Page 8 1.27 Planning evidence from Michael Foster 12 and Daniel Shaw 13 on behalf of the submitters proposes to rezone the submitters' sites from the notified Light Industry zone to Mixed Use zone. In response to the submitters' planning evidence, the Council has changed its position and agrees is that the Mixed Use zoning sought by the submitters is the most appropriate zone under the PAUP. Reasons 1.28 The Council supports rezoning the sites from Light Industry to Mixed Use for the following reasons: (a) It will recognise the existing function of the site and provide flexibility for future redevelopment; (b) The site has good access to Te Irirangi Drive and Ormiston Road and will be served by the Rapid and Frequent Transport Network; (c) The site is located in proximity to Botany Junction Local Centre and will not detract from the Local Centre because it has already been developed; (d) The established uses (business and residential) are mixed use in nature; and (e) It is the most appropriate way to achieve the objectives of the Mixed Use zone and gives effect to the RPS. The Bishop’s Estate, Bishop’s Dunn, Croke and Browne Places, Flat Bush – Submission by Home Base Botany Limited (submission # 5676) Council position 1.29 Planning evidence from Ian McManus14 on behalf of the Home Base Botany Limited proposes to rezone parts of the site from Light Industry to General Business or Mixed Use. In response to the submitter's evidence, the Council has changed its position and agrees that a part change from Light Industry to General Business is 12 Paragraphs 4.1 and 4.5. Paragraphs 23, 28, 34 and 85-122. 14 Paragraphs 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5. 13 31560772:631364 Page 9 appropriate. The Council also proposes an out of scope change from Light Industry to Neighbourhood Centre zone. Reasons 1.30 The Council supports rezoning parts of the site along Bishop Dunn Place and Bishop Browne Place from Light Industry to General Business for the following reasons: (a) It will recognise the existing function of the site and provide flexibility for future redevelopment; and (b) It will not adversely affect the function, role and amenity of adjacent centres as the area is already fully developed. 1.31 The Council supports out of scope changes to parts of the site fronting Te Irirangi Drive from Light Industry to Neighbourhood Centre for the following reasons: (a) This site is adjacent to a school and on a main arterial road; (b) The site functions as a Neighbourhood Centre with small-scale retail and commercial units. 1.32 Rezoning to Neighbourhood Centre is the most appropriate way to achieve the objectives and policies of the Neighbourhood Centre zone in that the site provides small-scale commercial activities to meet the convenience needs of passers-by. 1.33 The remaining properties along Bishop Dunn Place and Bishop Croke Place are proposed to remain Light Industry as the area is Light Industry in nature and includes a large format Mitre 10 store (provided for in the zone) and a mix of warehousing and associated office. Other consented activities can rely on existing use rights to continue. 31560772:631364 Page 10 2038 Great South Rd, Bombay, Bombay – Submission by Atlas Concrete Limited (submission # 3700-48) Council position 1.34 Planning evidence from David Haines 15 on behalf of Atlas Concrete Limited proposes to rezone the site from the notified Rural Production zone to Neighbourhood Centre zone. In response to the submitter's evidence, the Council has changed its position and agrees that Neighbourhood Centre zoning is the most appropriate zone under the PAUP. Reasons 1.35 The Council supports rezoning the site from Rural Production to Neighbourhood Centre for the reasons set out in Mr Haines' evidence. These reasons include: (a) Approved resource consents for the site mean the split site zoning is no longer appropriate; and (b) Rural production or rural industry activities are unlikely to occur in the southern part of the site because the approved resource consents allocate that part of the site for wastewater and stormwater treatment and disposal to support development in the northern part of the site. 1.36 This matter is further discussed in Todd Webb’s Topic 081 Auckland Council rebuttal evidence on the Bombay 1 Precinct. 173, 177 and 179 Great South Road, Takanini – Submission by Bunnings Limited (submission # 6096-77) Council position 1.37 Planning evidence from Mr Norwell on behalf of Bunnings Ltd proposes to rezone part of the site from the notified Mixed Housing Suburban zone to Light Industry zone. In response to the submitter's planning evidence, the Council has changed 15 Paragraphs 38-39. 31560772:631364 Page 11 its position and agrees that the site should be zoned entirely Light Industry rather than Light Industry with part Mixed Housing Suburban. Reasons 1.38 The Council supports rezoning the entire site to Light Industry because a Bunnings Warehouse has been established on the site which is a permitted activity in the Light Industry zone. This means that the Mixed Housing Suburban portion of the site will not be used for residential development in the near future. Resource consent conditions for the Bunnings Warehouse require the land to be amalgamated into a single site. The resource consent conditions also mean that retention of the Mixed Housing Suburban zone is not required to provide an amenity buffer for the adjoining residential areas. Parts of Lot 2 DP 208817 and Lot 1 DP 192491 covered by sub-precinct B of the Grahams Beach precinct, Awhitu Council position 1.39 The notified zones are Mixed Rural and Rural Coastal Settlement. The Council considers that the parts of Lot 2 DP 208817 and Lot 1 DP 192491 covered by subprecinct B of the Grahams Beach precinct should be rezoned to Countryside Living zone. Reasons 1.40 The Grahams Beach precinct provides for large-lot subdivision over sub-precinct B. The current zoning of Rural Coastal Settlement would require a resource consent for any new dwelling. The Council considers that this is not appropriate for this precinct area, which is an extension of the Grahams Beach coastal settlement. Countryside Living provides for large lots, and provides for dwellings as a permitted activity. Corrections 1.41 The Council is proposing a number of corrections to the planning maps lodged with the primary evidence for the South geographic area. These corrections have been 31560772:631364 Page 12 made to the hearings version of the Council's planning maps and are outlined in Attachment [X]. 31560772:631364 ! SUB$ REGION+ TOPIC+AREA+ South!
