Volume One 12. Urban Environments [D] Policy 12.8.5 – Allow for commercial and residential activity on industrially-zoned land adjoining Boyce Street, Nelson Street and Middle Renwick Road in Springlands, as identified in Appendix 20. The land to which this policy applies has historically been zoned and used for industrial activities. However, recently the land has been increasingly utilised for commercial and other purposes. While industrial activity can and is expected to continue here, the policy creates an opportunity for commercial and residential activities to be located on this industrially zoned land. This will result in improved integration of land use with the Business 2 Zone in Springlands and the existing commercial and residential activities on Boyce Street, Nelson Street and Middle Renwick Road. A move toward mixed use of the land is expected to improve the amenity of the area over time, an important outcome given that these roads are also a significant entry point for Blenheim and its town centre. Methods of implementation The methods listed below, which address Issues 12B, are to be implemented by the Council unless otherwise specified. [D] 12.M.5 Zoning A range of zones for business and industrial activities are provided, within which a variety of activities may occur. The Business 1 Zone is located in the centre of Marlborough’s main towns (Blenheim, Renwick, Picton and Havelock). Blenheim’s Business 1 Zone incorporates the inner shopping areas of Market and Queen Streets and extends to include the immediately surrounding business areas. Picton’s Business 1 Zone includes a small area closely related to the main foreshore and marina areas nearby. Renwick and Havelock’s town centres are located on either side of High Street and State Highway 6 respectively and provide commercial goods and services for the local community as well as the surrounding communities and travellers on the highway. The Business 2 Zone encompasses suburban areas outside the Business 1 Zone in the surrounding residential areas. In Blenheim, these include business areas such as large supermarket-based centres at Redwoodtown and Springlands, as well as smaller areas of business activity such as those at Moran Street, Alana Place and Budge Street. In Picton the Business 2 Zone includes smaller pockets of business activity located within residential environments as well as core business areas located in the towns of Ward, Seddon, Wairau Valley and Rai Valley. The Business 3 Zone has been applied to two sites within Blenheim to accommodate large format retail operations: the Westwood Development site at the western entrance to Blenheim and the Mitre 10 site on Alabama Road. The Industrial 1 Zone has been applied to areas in Blenheim, Picton and Seddon and provides for a range of light service industries. This zone is often located between the central business area and the more sensitive residential zones. This proximity requires careful management to secure the proper future functioning of industrial land while protecting the environmental quality of residential areas. The Industrial 2 Zone is only located in close proximity to Blenheim. The zone has been applied to existing activities at Burleigh and Redwood Streets and the Alabama Road corner within the town boundary and, outside of Blenheim, at the CMP Marlborough site, Riverlands and the Cloudy Bay Industrial Park boundaries. Provision is made in appropriate locations within this Zone for the co-location of industrial activity that generates large volumes of trade waste. 12 – 23
