The District Plan provides future direction on residential and business growth by identifying Growth Areas and proposes outcomes for the development of these areas. This will provide a guide to the development of Structure Plans, and will direct subdivision and development in these proposed growth areas.
The purpose of the Structure Plans will be to promote the efficient use of infrastructural resources. Structure Plans will also assist to avoid, remedy or mitigate the effects of the more intensive development on existing roading and utility services and the environment. Structure Plans will be undertaken on a catchment basis for the identified Growth Areas (e.g. drainage and visual catchments), and will give consideration to the effects of growth to the wider surrounding area and receiving environments.
How to Use this Chapter of the District Plan
This sub-Chapter has been developed to provide direction on the Outcomes Council is seeking in the future residential and business expansion of the identified Growth Areas. These Outcomes provide a framework for the development of future Structure Plans, which will be progressed as growth and demand dictates. The Structure Plans (as with the Mangawhai Structure Plan) will respond to each of the outcomes identified in this Chapter and establish key implementation steps to deliver the Structure Plan (it is anticipated that these will include District Plan Changes).
The Outcomes also provide a mechanism in the interim for the assessment of applications for subdivision and development, other than Permitted Activities, so as to achieve these purposes (e.g. to be addressed in Management Plans prepared for subdivision).
As with Chapter 3, there are no Rules in this Chapter. If you are doing a Plan Change or require a resource consent (e.g. an Integrated Development subdivision), Council will consider how your proposal contributes to the objectives and policies of Chapter 3 and more specifically, how the Outcomes identified for the growth area will be met. Applications for Subdivision or Land Use Consent are to show how these outcomes are achieved and if this can be demonstrated, Council will generally consider such activity (e.g. increased residential and business land uses) in the identified growth areas as appropriate. In addition, Conditions may be imposed on consents granted to give effect to the Outcomes.
