Two Proposed Plan Changes to the District Plan
Two plan changes are proposed - one to provide for additional residential allotments at Ocean Ridge Comprehensive Living Zone, and another correct anomolies throughout the plan, so as to give greater clarity and to give certainty to applicants and for Council’s officers in processing consents.
In accordance with the Clause 5 of the First Schedule of the Resource Management Act 1991, the Kaikoura District Council advises that it has prepared the following plan changes to the Kaikoura District Plan:
Plan Change 1 –Ocean Ridge Comprehensive Living Zone
The purpose of this plan change is to rezone the 8.09ha of Rural land to Ocean Ridge Comprehensive Living Zone and to amend the Outline Development Plan of the Ocean Ridge Comprehensive Living Zone.
Aspects of the Plan Change includes:
• An additional 56 residential allotments.
• Expansion of the land zoned for Mixed Use Area and modification of the activities permitted to allow for “Personal Care” including facilities such as a day spa, hairdressers, gyms, dentists or doctors offices.
• Changing the threshold limit for providing access to Green Lane. Currently the Plan requires that access be formed when the 140th residential allotment is created. This is now being change to only require that access to Green Lane be created at the time of subdivision of areas E, F or G.
• Rezoning of 8.09ha (Lot 1 DP 362623 – CT 328923) of rural land to a low density residential area within Ocean Ridge Comprehensive Living Zone.
The plan change was initially promoted by RD Hughes Holding Limited, the owner of the land to which the plan change relates, and has since been formally adopted by the Kaikoura District Council.
