Chapter 13 - Open Space/ Recreation Potential adverse effects include noise resulting from recreational activity and the social activity of clubrooms and their hours of operation; glare, particularly from flood lighting; attraction of increased numbers of people and vehicles into an area; the impacts of building scale or shading of adjoining properties; and damage to vegetation including trees, waterways or sensitive habitats upon development. The Plan therefore, includes standards to minimise adverse effects on amenity values, recognising that maintenance and enhancement of these values is an important part of managing the natural and physical resources of an area. 13.4 Methods of Implementation Zoning The Plan identifies on the planning maps the following open space zones: • Conservation; • District Recreation; and • Local Recreation. Rules Plan rules permit appropriate activities based on the conservation, amenity, recreation, or landscape value associated with the particular reserve or type of reserve, subject to performance standards where these are necessary. Performance Performance standards address matters which ensure that Standards open space is used and developed in a manner which is compatible with the amenities of adjoining residential areas. Matters include noise, car parking, building setback and discharge standards. Other Legislation Management plans prepared under the Conservation and Reserves Acts have been used as the basis for Permitted Activities in the three open space zones. (Resource Management and Regulatory Department) will participate in the preparation and planning of relevant reserve management plans under the Conservation and Reserves Acts, in pursuit of achieving the objectives of this (and other relevant) section(s) of this Plan. Other Methods Preparation of a Reserves Management Strategy. Negotiation of leases and licences with individual organisations and businesses to manage and maintain facilities. Facilitating public participation in design, development and management of recreational facilities. The methods provide for the policies above and enable relevant authorities to administer open space activities as set out in management plans. 13 - 5
