138 Union Street - LUC-2016-129 - construct a 3 storey building

Resource consent is sought to establish a new three storey mixed commercial/residential building to replace the existing single storey commercial building.  The commercial use at ground floor will cater for the existing Café and Dairy as well as ground floor access for two apartments above. Each apartment provides first and second floor level living around a central stairwell.  Service courtyards are proposed at ground level for the café/dairy and elevated outdoor amenity spaces are proposed at second floor level for the apartments.  New verandahs are proposed at ground floor level to replace the continuous verandah at the corner of Union Street East and Forth Street.  A common bike storage area is proposed at ground floor level as no on-site car parking is provided. The proposed footprint of the development occupies 97% of the site area.

The site is zoned Residential 3.

The proposal is assessed as a non-complying activity under the Dunedin City District Plan.

The Proposed 2GP was notified on 26 September 2015, and some 2GP rules have immediate legal effect.  In this instance, there are no relevant 2GP rules to consider.
