Chapter 32 - Urban Industrial Zone 32.4.1 General Assessment Criteria Any application for a Discretionary or Non-Complying Activity shall generally comply with the conditions for Permitted Activities. In addition they shall be considered in terms of the following assessment criteria. For some activities specific standards as specified also apply. 32.4.1.1 Matters the Subject of Assessment 32.4.1.1.1 Traffic Generation Any adverse effect on the capacity of the adjoining roading network, caused by the expected traffic generation of a proposal. 32.4.1.1.2 Parking In general a proposal should comply with the condition set out for Permitted Activities unless it is not appropriate to do so because of inherent site considerations or the nature of the activity itself. 32.4.1.1.3 Buildings These should be of a similar or complementary scale to that of other buildings within the area. Where buildings are not of a similar scale methods should be used to mitigate any adverse effect by increasing separation distances between the proposal and existing development and the provision of screening. 32.4.1.1.4 Residential Zone Interface Of concern is the protection and maintenance of amenity values of any adjoining Residential Zone interface. Any proposal must demonstrate that it will have minimal impact on this interface. 32.4.1.1.5 Infrastructural Constraints The site must be able to sustain the infrastructural servicing needs of the development. Where the existing infrastructure cannot sustain the new development, the proposal must demonstrate an ability to meet its own servicing needs. 32.4.1.1.6 Discharge to Air a) The suitability of the site for the proposed activity, with respect to the proximity of residences or public places; b) Any means of contaminant of any substance or material likely to cause airborne contaminants, and the adequacy of that means; c) Any proposals, and their likely effectiveness, for avoiding or containing any discharges of air contaminants; d) The likely intensity, duration and extent of any airborne contaminants that are expected from the processes to be used; and e) Any alternative processes that may be utilised which would reduce or avoid any airborne contaminants. 32.4.1.1.7 Public Safety Depending on the nature of the proposed activity, it must be demonstrated that any process or activity does not impinge on public safety. 32 - 17
