Background to Auckland Regional Policy Statement: Proposed Private Change 14 - Extension to the Metropolitan Urban Limits, Takanini Structure Plan Area 6A and 6B
Pursuant to the First Schedule, Clause 25 (2) (b) of the Resource Management Act 1991, the Auckland Regional Council has resolved to accept and notify in whole the request by Papakura District Council to extend the Metropolitan Urban Limits to Takanini Structure Plan Area 6A and 6B. The MUL extension will provide additional urban capacity for industrial/business related development (41.4ha); residential development (5ha) and reserve areas (4.7ha) within Takanini. Proposed ARPS Private Change 14 will involve an amendment to Map Series 1: Sheet 20 of the Auckland Regional Policy Statement.
Submitters are advised that the movement of the Metropolitan Urban Limit does not in itself allow urbanisation to occur. The Papakura District Plan will also need to be changed so that this land can be rezoned for industrial/business/residential purposes. Papakura District Council is therefore also proposing a change to their District Plan (PDC Operative District Plan Change 15). For further details on this change please contact Papakura District Council on 09 295 1300 or visit their website http://www.papakura.govt.nz/.
Proposed Auckland Regional Plan: Air, Land and Water Proposed Variation 3: Extension to the Urban Air Quality Management Areas and Industrial Air Quality Management Areas, Takanini Structure Plan Area 6A and 6B
Area 6A and 6B of the Takanini Structure Plan are currently within Rural Air Quality Management Areas under the PARP: ALW. In the event that the MUL extension is confirmed, a variation will be required to this Plan so that two different air quality management areas (urban and industrial) can be applied to this site. These different air quality management areas reflect the proposed land use mix and district plan zoning. Proposed Variation 3 to the PARP: ALW has therefore been prepared to reflect the proposed extension to the MUL.
Proposed Variation 3 to the PARP: ALW will involve an amendment to Map Series 1 - Map 40 and Map Series 1A - Maps 89, 90 of the Proposed Auckland Regional Plan: Air, Land and Water.
