16 FENDALTON/WAIMAIRI COMMUNITY BOARD STRENGTHENING COMMUNITIES FUND 2015/16 KEY LOCAL PROJECTS Contact Contact Details General Manager responsible: Officer responsible: Director, Office of the Chief Executive Community Governance Manager, Community Governance and Support Unit Author Maryanne Lomax, Community Development Adviser Y PURPOSE AND ORIGIN OF REPORT 1.1 The purpose of this report is for the Fendalton/Waimairi Community Board to consider whether they wish to nominate any Key Local Projects to the Metropolitan Strengthening Communities Fund for 2015/ EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2.1 In a public excluded workshop, held on 15 June 2015, the Fendalton/Waimairi Community Board considered the issue of Key Local Projects for 2015/ As a result of that workshop, this report is to formally resolve that the Fendalton/Waimairi Community Board nominates the following project to be considered for funding as a Key Local Project from the 2015/16 Metropolitan Strengthening Communities Fund. Attached is a decision matrix that provides information on this project (Attachment 1). Name of Group Name of Project Amount The Elmwood Club Sports Hub Development $17, Also attached is a list of all applications received for the 2015/16 Fendalton/Waimairi Strengthening Communities Fund (Attachment 2). 3. BACKGROUND 3.1 In October 2007, the Council adopted the Strengthening Communities Fund operational procedures, which included the process for nominating Key Local Organisations (KLOs), subsequently renamed Key Local Projects (KLPs). 3.2 Each Community Board may nominate Key Local Projects in its area that are put forward to the Metropolitan Funding Committee for consideration for funding. 3.3 The process for considering Key Local Projects is as follows: Community Boards nominate and priorities their KLPs and make a recommendation to the Metropolitan Funding Committee The Metropolitan Funding Committee makes decisions on Board recommended Key Local Projects Successful KLPs are allocated funding from the Metropolitan Strengthening Communities Fund Unsuccessful KLPs are returned to the Community Board for consideration from their local Strengthening Communities Fund or Discretionary Response Fund. 3.4 Community Boards are advised that where candidates for Key Local Project funding consideration are successful in receiving funding from the Metropolitan Funding Committee, then there can be no further funding call on the Board for that project.

17 Cont'd 3.5 This is also the case, where a successful candidate is funded to a lower level than has been recommended by the Board. This reflects the 'funding constraints' criteria agreed by Council in Appendix F of the 4 October 2007 report which states that Groups receiving funding at a Metropolitan level may only receive local level funding if the project is specifically local and no portion of it has been funded at the Metropolitan level". 4. COMMENT 4.1 Staff recommendations for Key Local Projects are based on whether the project meets the following criteria: The organisation undertaking the project has a proven track record with the Council in providing a high quality level of service Significantly contributes towards the Council's Funding Outcomes and Priorities Demonstrates leadership and innovation Demonstrates best-practice and collaborations. 4.2 The Metropolitan Funding Committee will make Key Local Project decisions based on affordability and the following priorities: Strengthening Communities Strategy Principles and Goals Funding outcomes and priorities as set out in Strengthening Communities Strategy Alignment to local Community Board objectives Projects deliver benefits to the city outside of the local Board area Key community issues contemplated under Goal 2 of the Strengthening Communities Strategy. 4.3 There is no set budget allocation for the KLPs, however any funding contribution towards the nominated KLPs reduces the amount of funding available to meet the requests submitted by the general applicants who have applied to the Metropolitan Strengthening Communities Fund. 4.4 Successful Key Local Projects for the Fendalton/Waimairi Community Board over the past three years are: Name of Group Year Name of Project Amount The Elmwood Club 2014/15 Sports Hub Development $20,000 The Elmwood Club 2013/14 Sports Hub Development $20, FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS 5.1 The Council's Draft Long Term Plan includes $7.2 million for the 2015/16 Strengthening Communities Programme, including funding for the Metropolitan Strengthening Communities Fund which incorporates funding for the Key Local Projects. However, this is subject to the final determination of the Long Term Plan. 6. STAFF RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Fendalton/Waimairi Community Board: 6.1 Resolve to nominate The Elmwood Club as a Key Local Project to be considered for funding from the 2015/16 Metropolitan Strengthening Communities Fund and recommend that the Council makes a grant of $17,500 to the Elmwood Club for their Sports Hub Development project.

25 Particular Provision submitted on Chapter P4 utility cabinets as part of any utility. 2. For telecommunications cabinets other than at (1) the maximum floor area shall be 1.4m2 and the maximum height shall be 1.8m. Topic Nature of submission Reason for submission Utilities oppose The Board considers that utilities cabinets, and in particular telecommunication s cabinets may have adverse effects on residential amenity and streetscape. Given this, the Board considers that all new utilities cabinets within any residential zone should be assessed as a restricted discretionary activity, with the matters of discretion being matters 1,2 and 3 of 11.4 Assessment Matters Utilities. Relief Sought Amend the provision to read: 1. The utility cabinets is located underground: or 2. For telecommunications cabinets other than at (1) the maximum floor area shall be 1.4m 2 and the maximum height shall be 1.8m. 3. For utility cabinets other than at (1) or (2) - the maximum floor area shall be 6m 2 and the maximum height shall be 1.8m (measured from ground level or the top of a concrete plinth if there is one). 4. The utility cabinet is located in any residential zone Permitted activities - Communications facilities P1 Freestanding communications utilities 1. Freestanding communications utilities shall not be located in an: a) the Suburban Residential Conservation zone. Utilities oppose As above Amend the provision to read: Freestanding communications utilities 1. Freestanding communications utilities shall not be located in an: a) any residential zone including the Suburban Residential Conservation zone.

26 Particular Provision submitted on Topic Nature of submission Reason for submission Relief Sought Chapter 17 Rural Zone General support for rules Quarrying general support The Board generally supports the addition of rules in the rural zones of the RDP which specifically control quarrying and its effects on the receiving environment. Specifically, the Board acknowledges and supports the approach of the RDP to assessing all aspects associated with quarrying, as opposed to the approach in the ODP in which the requirement for consent was (principally) triggered when earthworks and traffic rules were breached. Generally retain the rules, subject to specific relief sought below RD2 Ancillary aggregatesprocessing activity after 30 April 2018 Rural Quarry Zone support The Board acknowledges that many of the higher end effects associated with quarrying, (i.e. dust and noise), are generated from the processing of aggregate. Accordingly, the Board supports the approach in the RDP to require and assessment of effects when aggregate is not won on site, as the additional processing of aggregate could potentially far exceed the volume of aggregate anticipated to be quarried and processed within the zone. The quarry zone anticipates that the land covered by the zone will return to a rural use at the cessation of quarrying and the addition of this rule will avoid the extension of permitted processing activities beyond that which could be reasonably expected. The rule will always enable the rehabilitation of land covered by the RQP for a permitted rural activity as originally anticipated by the zone objectives. Retain as notified

27 Particular Provision submitted on D3/ D3 Quarrying activity located 250m or more from a residential zone boundary. Any application arising from this rule that is more than 250m but less than 500m from a residential zone boundary shall be publicly notified Topic Nature of submission Reason for submission Quarrying oppose The Board acknowledges the introduction of a buffer zone to control the effects of quarrying within proximity of residential areas, however considers that 250 metres is not sufficient distance to provide for the effective management and mitigation of the associated adverse effects to an extent that these would be minor. The Victorian Environmental Protection Agency (1990) recommends a buffer distance of metres for industrial sources of dust, odour and other nuisance emissions, based on good pollution control technologies. Where the industry has poor controls, the EPA recommends a larger buffer distance. The Board considers that given the unstandardised controls to the effects of quarrying in New Zealand, a precautionary approach should be taken for any application to quarrying in close proximity of residential activities. Given this, any quarrying activity should be required to demonstrate that any avoidance, mitigation and management of effects with the 500m buffer distance will result in only minor effects. Subsequently, the application of a discretionary activity should only apply to quarrying at a distance greater than 500m. Non-complying activity status should apply to any quarrying activity within 500m of any residential activity to provide for an extensive assessment of effects. Additionally, the Board considers that this buffer distance should be extended to include the Specific Purpose Schools zone as a sensitive activity which would be adversely affected by quarrying activities to the same extent as residential activities. Relief Sought That the rule be amended as follows: Quarrying activity located m or more from a residential zone boundary or specific purpose school zone boundary. As a consequence of the above, the second part of D3 with regards to notification is obsolete, and is addressed in the proposed amendment to D4.

28 Particular Provision submitted on NC2 Quarrying activity located less than 250m from a Residential Zone boundary. Any application arising from this rule shall be publicly notified Topic Nature of submission Reason for submission Relief Sought oppose Reasons as per above. That the rule be amended as follows: Quarrying activity located less than m from a Residential Zone boundary or specific purpose school zone boundary. Any application arising from this rule shall be publicly notified NC2 Any Quarrying activity that involves any excavation to a depth less than one metre from the seasonal high water table. Any application arising from this rule shall be publicly notified / Residential unit, including additions and alterations to existing unit less than 250m from the boundary of a legally established quarrying activity Support The Board supports this rule in its entirety - both in terms of the matter being controlled and the express requirement for notification consents breaching the rule. The Board considers that the notification of any activity which may have adverse effects on the ground water table should be publically notified. Any effects on the water table are likely to be experienced across the district. Quarrying As per the reasons stated under D3/ D3 above, the development of any residential activity within proximity of any quarry should be extended to 500m to avoid reverse sensitivity effects. Retain as notified Residential unit, including additions and alterations to existing unit less than 250m 500m from the boundary of a legally established quarrying activity

29 Particular Provision submitted on Prohibited Activities New Residential activities and Minor residential units on any site in existence as at 2 May 2015 with a minimum net site area of 1ha or less. Topic Rural Fringe Nature of submission support Reason for submission The Board supports the strong approach taken in the DRP toward maintaining a rural working environment for productive land within the Christchurch District and the consolidation of urban form and rural settlements. The Board acknowledges the use of the term avoid in Policy 5 and considers that the proposed prohibited activity status provides clear direction around the meaning of that term as it is applied in the policy.
