8.6 The relevant permitted activity conditions are those relating site coverage, maximum height of buildings, landscaping and screening, sites abutting residential activity areas, and General Rules compliance. 8.7 I note the proposal would have complied with the site coverage requirement (100%), landscaping and screening requirements for outdoor storage and service areas, side yard, rear yard, screening of outdoor storage and servicing areas, screening of car parking areas, servicing hours, and the maximum noise requirements contained within the General Rules Chapter. 8.8 The proposal would not have complied with the maximum height of buildings, landscaping and screening of car parks, number of car parks, and the design standards for parking contained within the General Rules Chapter. While noting these non-compliances, I do not consider the degree of non-compliance with these rules to be unacceptable. I consider that when balanced against the effects, objectives and policies, and the Part II assessment, the adverse effects will be acceptable. Other plans 8.9 I have given regard to the relevant national environmental standards; other regulations; national policy statements; New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement 2010; regional policy statement/proposed regional policy statement; or plan/proposed plan. 8.10 I do not consider that any of the above plans affect Council’s consideration of the proposal. Other matters 8.11 The site and circumstances within this proposal are considered to be sufficiently unique such that if the committee were to grant consent, that a precedent would not be set. 8.12 There are no other matters that need to be had regard to. 9.0 Part II of the Act 9.1 Part II sets out the purpose and principles of the Act (section 5); matters of national importance the consent authority must recognise and provide for when determining a resource consent (section 6); other matters the consent authority must have particular regard to (section 7); and provision for the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi (section 8). 9.2 The purpose of the Act as set out in section 5 is to promote “the sustainable management of natural and physical resources while managing the use, development,
and protection of natural and physical resources in a way, or at a rate, which enables people and communities to provide for their social, economic and cultural wellbeing and for their health and safety while… avoiding, remedying, or mitigating any adverse effects of activities on the environment.” 9.3 In determining the proposal against section 5 of the Act, I adopt the applicant’s assessment in section 3.4 of the application (pages 19-20). 9.4 As discussed in section 7 of this report, it is considered the proposal has positive effects. 9.5 Given the above factors, the proposal is considered that the proposal is consistent with section 5 of the Resource Management Act 1991. 9.6 Section 6 of the Act lists matters of national importance. I adopt the applicant’s assessment in section 3.4 on page 20 of the application. I add to this assessment that the proposal has been reviewed by Council’s Consultant Heritage Conservator Ian Bowman who supports the proposal. 9.7 Section 7 of the Act lists a number of other matters that Council shall have particular regard to when considering such an application. Under section 7 the following matters are considered applicable: (b) The efficient use and development of natural and physical resources: (c) The maintenance and enhancement of amenity values: (f) Maintenance and enhancement of the quality of the environment: It is considered that the proposal is not contrary to section 7 of the Act for the reasons discussed in the assessment of effects and discussed on page 20 of the application. 9.8 It is considered section 8 of the Act requires that the Council, in achieving the purpose of the Act, in managing the use, development and protection of the natural and physical environment, shall take into account the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi. It is considered the proposal is not contrary to section 8 of the Act. It is noted the subject site is not adjacent to any land subject to the Port Nicholson Block Settlement Act 2009 that would warrant notification of the application to the Port Nicholson Settlement Trust. However, the proposal was reviewed by the Wellington Tenths Trust who did not present any concerns with the development. 9.9 Overall I consider the proposed mixed use development at 350-352 Jackson Street and 43 Tory Street will be consistent with Part II of the Resource Management Act 1991.
