ITEM 2 (Continued) 3. Councillor Representations: Name of Councillor: Councillor Campbell Nature of the representation: Request by Councillor Campbell for referral to Committee. Date: 7 March 2008 Form of the representation (e.g. via email, meeting, phone call): email On behalf of: Resident (objector to the proposal). Any other persons (e.g. consultants) involved in or part of the representation: No. 4. Proposal Consent is sought for the erection of a Business Identification Sign to be located adjacent to the south-eastern corner of the site occupied by Optus. The 6.5m² sign has the appearance of a swing-like structure in that it consists of two diagonally opposed 6.0m long metal supports mounted on concrete plinths with approximately 24 steel cords stretched between the two supports. The internally illuminated acrylic words ‘Yes’ Optus are suspended on these cords to face in a south-easterly direction along Epping Road. The wording is illuminated by 12 volt light-emitting-diodes (LEDs) and is powered by 240 volts. The sign will have the following dimensions (refer plan 06210-S02(F) dated Jan 2007): Height Total (including support anchors) Lettering

6.0m 0.75m height per letter

Depth Total (including support anchors) Lettering

2.2m 0.1m

Length Total (including support anchors) Lettering

11m 4.2m

Four(4) flood lights are sited at regular intervals below the length of the signage structure to illuminate the sign from the ground. Lighting is to be diffused and will gradually alternate through white, blue and green filters. Barn doors are fixed to either side of each flood light to contain any light spillage from the sides and towards Epping Road. The immediate area surrounding the signage is to be landscaped to avoid casual access to the sign and flood lighting.

ITEM 2 (Continued) 5. Background On 7 August 2007 Council’s Public Facilities & Services Committee recommended, that ‘in principle’ support was given to the removal of the Eucalyptus tree which is located at the site of the proposed sign, subject to the subsequent approval of a development application for the sign (the current application).

6. Consultation – Internal and External Internal Referrals: None applicable. External Referrals: The application was referred to the Roads & Traffic Authority (RTA) who do not have any objection to the proposal subject to the sign not possessing: • Flashing lights; • Electronically changeable messages; • Animated display, moving parts or simulated movement; • Complex displays that hold a drivers attention beyond ‘glance appreciation’; • Displays resembling traffic signs or signals; and • A method and level of illumination that distracts or dazzles. The development does not contain any points raised above. However, Condition No. 16 has been applied which includes the above restrictions. 7. Submissions The proposal was notified in accordance with Development Control Plan 2006 - Part 2.1, Notification of Development Applications. The application was advertised on 5 March 2008. Notification of the proposal was from 5 March 2008 until 20 March 2008. Six (6) submissions were received in response to the notification. The issues raised in the submissions are as follows:

Page 6: dev 0308 060508 - City of Ryde · 2016. 2. 1. · Development Committee Agenda No. 3/08, dated 6 May 2008. ITEM 2 (Continued) Section 79C 'Matters for Consideration' Comments Section

Development Committee Agenda No. 3/08, dated 6 May 2008.

ITEM 2 (Continued) Scope of notification The submission claims that the scope of the notification was inadequate. The notification of this development was conducted in accordance with the requirements stipulated under the City of Ryde DCP 2006. Given the minor scale of the development and its distance from the residential area (93m to 99m) it was considered unnecessary to expand the scope of notification in this instance. This matter does not have any determining weight. Loss of amenity The submission claims that the location and lighting of the sign will have an adverse impact upon the adjacent residential area. Reference has been made to the “Avaya” sign located on the property at No. 2 Lyon Park Road. However, the development and the “Avaya” sign cannot be considered to be similar as the development consists of a ground-mounted sign with a diffused lighting system. A site inspection of the sign and of the nearest residential properties revealed that there will be negligible impact due to the distance (93m to 99m), the heavy screening of trees surrounding the residential property in question and the offset of the sign to the habitable room windows of that same residential property. This matter does not have any determining weight. Environmental sustainability The submission claims that the proposed 24-hour operation of the sign will result in energy wastage. A condition has been applied which requires that the sign be turned off at 11.00pm each night which will address this issue. Car parking The submission raises the car parking at the Optus campus as an issue. However, it is not made clear how this issue relates to the proposed sign and is not considered to have any determining weight on this application. Property values The submission claims that the installation of the submission could result in a decline of residential property values. The consideration of property values is not within the scope of the Environmental Planning & Assessment Act, 1979, the City of Ryde Planning Scheme Ordinance or the Ryde and, therefore, is not an assessment criteria. This matter does not have any determining weight.

ITEM 2(Continued) Matters for Consideration Comment CompliantIn considering an application for consent for the display of an advertising sign, the Council must consider: • The effect of the sign on the amenity

of the locality, including the need to avoid visual disorder or clutter of signs;

• The effect of the sign on the built environment or the landscape;

• The need for the sign and the opportunities for adequately displaying it on the site;

• The advertising pattern and theme in the locality and the number of signs of the same type;

• The effect of the sign on existing advertising signs;

• The size and likely impact of the sign, having regard to the size of the premises on which it is to be displayed and the scale of surrounding buildings;

• The effect of the sign on the safety and security of premises and public areas; and

• The effect of the sign on the appearance, efficiency and safety of a road, railway, waterway or other public way, having particular regard to the sign’s colour, brightness and location.

These matters are discussed in the following tables. It has been identified that the development will introduce a new level of illumination into the area and, as such, it is considered appropriate to apply a condition of consent requiring that the lighting be turned off at 11.00pm each night.

Yes Subject to condition

ITEM 2 (Continued) Clause 93 – Macquarie Park Corridor This clause of the RPSO applies to all land within the Macquarie Park Corridor (MPC). The site is located within the MPC and, as such, it is a requirement of this clause that Council must not grant consent to development of land to which this clause applies unless it has considered whether the development complies with the Planning Principles and Objectives for the Corridor. The sign is considered satisfactory in terms of the overall Objectives of the MPC as it promotes the identification of commercial facilities within the area. e) Development Control Plans City of Ryde Development Control Plan 2006 (Part 9.1) This sign complies with the majority of Council’s requirements. The sign has been assessed against the design criteria prescribed under the DCP as indicated in the table below: Requirement Comment CompliantSign to be definable as either: Pylon Sign Business Directory Board Sign Directional Sign Flush Wall Sign Panel Sign Plinth Sign Real Estate Sign Temporary Sign

Development Committee Agenda No. 3/08, dated 6 May 2008.

ITEM 2 (Continued) Requirement Comment CompliantIllumination of the sign will be considered on its merits (ie location of the sign, proximity to a main road, hours of operation, preference for ‘up’ lighting).

The location of the sign is situated between 93m – 99m from the nearest residential area on the opposite side of Epping Road. An inspection revealed that the diffused level of lighting and its siting at ground level would result in minimal impact considering the above-mentioned distances. However, it is acknowledged that the white lettering will produce a brighter appearance than is currently evident. In this regard, a condition is recommended requiring the lighting to the sign be turned off at 11.00pm each night.

Yes Subject to condition

Pylon signs are not permitted where signs are capable of being placed on a building which is within 5.0m of a road frontage.

There are no buildings situated within 5.0m from the Paul Street North or Epping Road frontage.

ITEM 3 (Continued) 5. Background Development consent 817/04 was granted on 26 November 2004 for the erection of a 6 storey building and associated carparking. Development consent was granted on 14 December 2006 for a change of use of 289m2 of the ground floor from commercial use to retail use as well as the addition of 8 car parking spaces to accommodate the retail uses. The current development application was lodged on 3 April 2008. 6. Submissions Notification of the development application to adjoining owners and occupiers is not required in accordance with the public notification provisions of RDCP 2006. 7. Policy Implications Relevant Provisions of Environmental Planning Instruments etc: (a) Ryde Planning Scheme Ordinance

Zoning The subject site is zoned Business Special 3(g) under the provisions of the Ryde Planning Scheme Ordinance. A use that is permitted in this zone includes any purpose included in Schedule 12. Schedule 12 includes any purpose which is primarily intended to service: a) The daily convenience needs of employees of and visitors to the land and

may include shops, restaurants, professional or personal services, recreation facilities and the like; or

b) The needs of businesses and organisations within the vicinity of the land and may include business services, clubs, conference and meeting facilities and the like.

The proposed development is for the fitout and use of a cafe. This use will service the daily convenience of the employees of the building and surrounding area. This use is permissible in the zone.

Page 29: dev 0308 060508 - City of Ryde · 2016. 2. 1. · Development Committee Agenda No. 3/08, dated 6 May 2008. ITEM 2 (Continued) Section 79C 'Matters for Consideration' Comments Section

Development Committee Page 28

Development Committee Agenda No. 3/08, dated 6 May 2008.

ITEM 3 (Continued) Mandatory Requirements Clause 93 – How will the built form of development be controlled?

This clause of the Ordinance enunciates the matters contained within Part 10 of RPSO to be considered prior to the granting of consent.

Council must take into consideration: • The planning principles as set out in Schedule 18; • The objectives as set out in Schedule 18; • The objectives and development standards for floor space ratio as set out in

clause 96; • The objectives and development standards for building height as set out in

clause 97; • The objectives and development standards for off street car parking as set

out in clause 98.

These matters are discussed below.

Planning Principle Comment Environmental Principles To strongly define the public domain and active street frontages in the areas surrounding the proposed railway stations, by close alignment of buildings to the street edge and selection of appropriate street-front uses.

The ground floor of the approved building has been designed to encourage the active street frontages. The provision of a café on the ground floor will reinforce this principle.

To encourage the creation of common spaces within private developments that promote social interaction.

The café is likely to service the daily needs of employees and visitors to the site. This will promote the opportunity for social interaction.

Clause 94 – Objectives for the Macquarie Park Corridor The objectives for the Macquarie Park Corridor as identified in Clause 94 are as follows:

(a) To promote Macquarie Park Corridor as a premium location for globally

competitive businesses with strong links to the university and research institutions and an enhanced sense of identity; and

Page 30: dev 0308 060508 - City of Ryde · 2016. 2. 1. · Development Committee Agenda No. 3/08, dated 6 May 2008. ITEM 2 (Continued) Section 79C 'Matters for Consideration' Comments Section

Development Committee Page 29

Development Committee Agenda No. 3/08, dated 6 May 2008.

ITEM 3 (Continued)

(b) To implement the State Government’s strategic objectives of integrating land use and transport, reducing car dependency and creating opportunities for employment in areas supported by public transport; and

(c) To guide the quality of future development in the Corridor; and (d) To ensure that the Corridor is characterised by a high quality, well designed

and safe environment that reflects the natural setting, with three accessible and vibrant railway station areas providing focal points; and

(e) To ensure that residential and business areas are better integrated and an improved lifestyle is created for all those who live, work and study in the area.

This development represents the establishment of a use on the ground floor of part of the approved building. For this reason some of the objectives for the Macquarie Park corridor are not applicable to the development. The café usage will contribute to the building having an active street frontage as well as contributing to the character of the Macquarie Park corridor. The development is not inconsistent with the above objectives. Clause 96 - Floor Space Ratios

As this development application is for the establishment of a use within the building there will be no changes to the floor space ratio of the building.

Clause 97- Height of Buildings The height of the building will not be changed as a result of this development application.

Clause 98 – Car Parking Restrictions This clause of the Ordinance states the off-street parking requirements for commercial and industrial development on land within Macquarie Park Corridor must not exceed the rate shown within Macquarie Park Corridor – Parking Restrictions” deposited in the office of the Council.

No reference is made to retail uses or cafes. To determine the appropriate car parking for the cafe, it is necessary to refer to DCP 2006. The DCP requires that where a change of use is proposed, the difference in the number of car parking spaces between the approved use and the proposed use if the proposed use generates a greater number of car parking is required to be provided.

Page 31: dev 0308 060508 - City of Ryde · 2016. 2. 1. · Development Committee Agenda No. 3/08, dated 6 May 2008. ITEM 2 (Continued) Section 79C 'Matters for Consideration' Comments Section

Development Committee Page 30

Development Committee Agenda No. 3/08, dated 6 May 2008.

ITEM 3 (Continued) The approved use was retail which requires 1 space per 25m2 of floor area accessible to the public. A retail use would generate the need for 3 car parking spaces. A restaurant or café would generate the need for 1 car parking space per 5m2 of dining area which is equivalent to 3 car parking spaces. As the café will generate the same number of car parking spaces as the retail use, no additional car parking is required to be provided on the site. Clause 102 Retail activities in Zone No 3(g) Business Special (Employment)

This clause states that retail activities carried out on any 3(g) zoned land must be located on the ground floor level and must not exceed 2000m2. The development has a floor area of 106m2 and complies with this requirement.

(b) Relevant SEPPs There are no relevant State Environmental Planning Policies that would affect the proposed section 96 application. (c) Relevant REPs There are no relevant Regional Environmental Plans that would affect the proposed Section 96 application. (d) Any draft LEPs Draft Macquarie Park Corridor DCP No 55 The draft DCP was publicly exhibited on 15 February 2008. The DCP is designed to provide further built form controls and urban design guidelines for the Corridor. As this development application is for the establishment of a café and the associated fitout of the café, most of the controls in the draft DCP are not applicable to the proposed development. The only applicable control is waste management. All applications are required to provide a waste management plan that specifies the type of wastes to be produced and the proposed arrangements for ongoing waste management and collection and disposal. This has been submitted and is in accordance with the Council’s requirements.

ITEM 3 (Continued) (e) Any DCP

City of Ryde Development Control Plan 2006: Part 9.2 – Access for People with Disabilities The proposal does not change any existing access arrangements. The premises have existing arrangements for disabled access.

8. Likely impacts of the Development

The proposed development does not involve any extensions to the existing building. Accordingly there will be no further impacts on the amenity of the locality. As the use of the building is permitted in the zoning and is compatible with the other surrounding uses, there will be no adverse impact on either the built or the natural environment. The proposal does not involve any increase to the extent of car parking to be provided on the site in respect to the original development consent. The hours of operation will be 7.00am to 6.00pm Mondays to Fridays with extended trading until 11.00pm on Thursdays and 8.00am to 4.00pm on Saturdays. The development is unlikely to affect the amenity of any residential properties.

9. Suitability of the site for the development

The site is not classified as a heritage item or subject to any natural constraints such as flooding or subsidence. In this regard, the proposal is considered to be suitable for the site in terms of the impact on both the existing natural and built environments.

10. The Public Interest

The proposal is not considered to adversely impact upon the interest of the public.

11. Management Plan Linkages Relationship to Key Outcome Areas People This matter has no direct relationship to this key outcome area.

4 385-395 VICTORIA ROAD, GLADESVILLE. LOT: 101 DP: 749090. Section 96 Application to amend Development Consent to extend the operating hours of the drive-through at McDonald's to 24 hours 7 days a week. LDA 702/2006.

INTERVIEW 5.15PM Report prepared by: Senior Town Planner Report approved by: Manager Assessment Report dated: 7 April 2008. File No. LDA06/702

The assessment contained in this report is a summary of the matters deemed relevant to this development proposal and matters contained in the Department of Planning's Guide to Section 79C – Potential Matters for Consideration. 1. Report Summary

Applicant: Richmond & Ross P/L. Owner: McDonald’s Australia Limited. Date lodged: 7 November 2007.

This report considers a proposal to extend the hours of operation to 24 hour 7 days trading of the drive through at McDonald’s restaurant. No change of hours is proposed for the eat in dining. The application has been submitted under the provisions of Section 96 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and it satisfies the required provisions of this Act. There are no other planning policies that are applicable to the development. The development generated a significant number of submissions during the notification period. A total of 13 submissions, 57 pro forma letters and a petition containing 5 signatures were received. All of these submissions objected to the extension of hours primarily due to the adverse impacts this would have on the amenity of the locality. As part of the Section 96 application, the applicant submitted an acoustic report which demonstrated that the extension of hours was likely to achieve acceptable noise levels. This report however failed to consider alternative noise sources such as persons loitering in the car park which could generate unsociable noises and increased traffic using Eltham Street which would also contribute to increased noise and impact on the amenity of the locality. The applicant failed to provide any information to Council to demonstrate how the alternative noise sources could be managed. As these alternative noise sources may result in unacceptable residential amenity, the Section 96 application is recommended for refusal.

Development Committee Agenda No. 3/08, dated 6 May 2008.

ITEM 4 (Continued) Reason for Referral to Development Committee: Requested by Councillor O’Donnell and the number of submissions received. Public Submissions: 13 submissions, 57 pro forma letters and a petition containing 5 signatures were received objecting to the development. 2. Site (Refer to attached map.)

Address :385-395 Victoria Road GLADESVILLE Site Area : 2,855m2

Frontage 70.41 metres Depth 40 metres (average).

Topography and Vegetation : The subject site gently falls from north to south towards Victoria Road. The subject site is provided with minimal landscaping and existing vegetation is limited to some small trees at the front of the site. Existing Buildings : The site has been used as a McDonalds restaurant since 1975. The original building has recently been demolished and a new building has recently been constructed. Planning Controls Zoning :Industrial Light - Restricted Other : Section 96 of the Environmental Planning and

Assessment Act, 1979. 3. Councillor Representations: Councillor O’Donnell has requested that the matter be referred to a Development Committee meeting. 4. Proposal Consent is sought under Section 96 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act to amend condition 3 of Development Consent 702/06. This consent was for the demolition of McDonald’s building and the construction of a new McDonald’s with a drive-through facility and associated signage. Condition 3 stated the following:

Development Committee Page 50

Development Committee Agenda No. 3/08, dated 6 May 2008.

ITEM 4 (Continued) 3. Hours of Operation. The hours of operation being confined to:

- Sunday to Thursday; 5.00am to 12 midnight. - Friday to Saturday; 24 hours trading between 5am Friday and 12 midnight Sunday.

It is proposed to extend the operating hours of the drive through to 24 hours 7 days a week. The trading hours for the eat in dining would be consistent with the existing approval. 5. Background In December 1994, development consent 76/94 was issued for the enlargement of the existing McDonalds restaurant. As part of this consent, 24 hour trading on Fridays and Saturdays was approved. A deferred commencement development consent was granted on 20 February 2007 for the demolition of McDonald’s building and the construction of a new McDonald’s with a drive-through facility and associated signage. The deferred commencement condition required any necessary approval to be obtained from City of Ryde under Section 138 of the Roads Act 1993 (including the written concurrence of the Roads and Traffic Authority under Section 138(2) of the Roads Act. The consent became operable on 18 May 2007. For the purposes of this section 96 application, condition 3 is relevant. This condition states the following: 3. Hours of Operation. The hours of operation being confined to:

- Sunday to Thursday; 5.00am to 12 midnight. - Friday to Saturday; 24 hours trading between 5am Friday and 12 midnight Sunday.

A Section 96 application was approved on 27 June 2007 for alterations to the building façade and terrace pergolas to create a contemporary appearance. A further section 96 application was approved on 3 July 2007 to amend the wording of condition 73. This condition required a traffic management plan to be approved by the RTA prior to the issue of a Construction Certificate. The condition was amended to require the traffic management plan to be approved prior to the commencement of work rather than prior to the issue of the Construction Certificate.

ITEM 4 (Continued) The current Section 96 application was submitted on 7 November 2007. Following the notification period, a letter was sent to the applicant on 15 January 2008. The applicant was advised that the extension of hours is likely to result in the following adverse impacts on the amenity of the locality:

Increased traffic using Eltham Street resulting in more noise and safety issues; Increased litter; Youth hanging around the restaurant in their cars possibly resulting in anti-social

behaviour and increased noise. Based on the information currently submitted with the Section 96 application and the issues raised in the public submissions, the applicant was advised that Council’s Officers would be unlikely to support the Section 96 application due to the adverse impacts raised by the residents. Accordingly, it was suggested that the Section 96 application be withdrawn. No response was received from the applicant. 6. Submissions The proposal was advertised and notified in accordance with Development Control Plan 2006 - Part 2.1, Notification of Development Applications. The application was advertised on 21 November 2007. Notification of the proposal was from 14 November 2007 until 6 December 2007. During this time, Council received a total of 13 submissions, 57 pro forma letters and a petition containing 5 signatures all objecting to the proposed extension of hours. The issues raised in the submissions were;

Increased noise will affect the amenity of the adjoining residential area. This increased noise will be due to extra traffic using the drive-through, as well as people hanging around the restaurant.

As part of the section 96 application, an acoustic report was submitted that demonstrates that noise from the operation of mechanical plant and noise from customers and vehicles can be controlled to satisfy the recommended goals. The recommendations of this report have been supported by Council’s Environmental Health Officer. The acoustic report however fails to consider alternative noise sources which could include people hanging around the restaurant. The applicant failed to provide any additional information to demonstrate how these noises would be managed. It is possible that these alternative noise sources could affect the amenity of the locality.

ITEM 4 (Continued)

Additional traffic in Eltham Street and Westminster Road as traffic wishing to go towards Ryde have to make a left turn into Westminster Road, left into Eltham Street, left again into Monash Road to access Victoria Road.

This matter was originally considered during the assessment of the original development application. As the subject site is mid-block and there is no access into the site for west-bound traffic on Victoria Road, the only legal way to access the site is to turn right at Westminster Road, left at Eltham Street and left again at Monash and Victoria Roads. These roads are able to accommodate the traffic movements likely to be generated by the extension of hours. The applicant’s acoustic report however has failed to give any consideration to the noise as a result of this likely increased traffic and its likely impact on the amenity of the locality.

Concerned about not being notified of this change earlier. These hours should have been detailed in the original proposal.

The applicant has applied for the extension of hours under the provisions of Section 96 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act. This section allows the applicant to request an amendment to their development consent. To ensure that previous objectors and neighbours are aware of the amendment, the Act also requires any modification to be notified in accordance with Council’s requirements and any issues raised in the submissions to be taken into account.

Increased litter and rubbish in adjoining streets. It is unfair that it is left up to Council and residents to clean up.

The issue of litter and rubbish was detailed in the previous report. As previously detailed, the OHS obligations on McDonalds prevents staff walking to Eltham Road and litter patrols are confined to the immediate area adjoining the site. The Waste Management Strategy as submitted with the Development application proposes that the litter patrols be confined to the areas immediately adjoining the site along Victoria Road.

Increased vandalism to residential properties. It is unlikely that there would be increased vandalism to the residential properties as a result of this section 96 application. The section 96 proposed to extend the hours of operation of the drive through only. This application is unlikely to generate pedestrian traffic in the locality.

The acoustic report has failed to give any consideration to non typical noises such as people loitering in the car park, loud cars, truck deliveries and pick ups.

Agreed. The applicant has also failed to provide any additional information to address such alternative noise sources.

Development Committee Agenda No. 3/08, dated 6 May 2008.

ITEM 4 (Continued)

The recommendations in the acoustic report remain untested. Agreed. The development consent has included conditions requiring all of the recommendations in the acoustic report to be included in the consent as well as a condition that may require the applicant to provide an acoustic report it required by Council demonstrating compliance with the acoustic report. This report is likely to be required only if Council receives complaints about the operation of the premises.

Increased pedestrian traffic and associated noise from patrons exiting and entering the property.

The proposal is to extend the hours of operation for the drive-through only. No extension of hours is proposed for the eat in dining. As such, this is unlikely to result in increased pedestrian traffic or noise from patrons exiting or entering the property.

Groups will loiter in the car park and their cars will generate unsociable noise and disturbances for the neighbours. The car park should be closed from 11pm to 6am.

Due to the layout of the car park it would be difficult to close the car park and still obtain access to the drive through. This however may be an issue that could be considered as part of a noise management solution.

Noise from garbage collection. This occurs between 1am and 4am and impacts on sleep. As the acoustic report failed to consider this impact or noise from supply trucks, it cannot be relied upon.

The garbage collection will not be changed as a result of the section 96 application. For this reason, it is not considered a relevant matter for the section 96 application.

There must be respite from noise activity generated by commercial neighbours. Council does not have a policy in respect to hours of operation of commercial premises adjacent to residential areas. The hours of operation are generally determined by the nature of the development and the management solutions to ensure that the amenity of the residential area will not be adversely affected by noise from the commercial premises.

This application is contrary to maintaining our good community. The community does not need permanent access to fast food.

This is not a relevant matter under section 79C of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979.

Other fast food outlets do not have 24 hour trading. Why should McDonalds be treated differently or is it Council’s intention to permit other outlets to trade 24 hours a day?

As McDonalds have applied for 24 trading as part of a section 96 application, Council has no alternative but to assess the application.

ITEM 4 (Continued)

Increased cooking smells. As part of the original consent, the new restaurant will be fitted with new modern exhaust equipment to replace the previous ageing exhaust system. Council’s Environmental Health Officer has provided conditions relating to the installation of the mechanical ventilation, specifically kitchen exhaust vents should be no less than 6 metres from the boundary of any neighbouring property and discharged in a vertical direction at a minimum velocity of 5 metres per second. This should ensure that cooking smells should not affect the amenity of the locality.

Concerned about employees who will work the 24 hour roster. If teenagers are employed they will also be attending school in the day and working the night shift. Who will be responsible for the welfare and safety of those people working the night shift.

McDonalds would be responsible for the welfare and safety of staff while on the McDonalds property. The issue of whether teenagers will be working on the night shift and then attending school during the day is not a matter that is relevant for Council.

Eltham Street is inadequately illuminated in several areas so it cannot sustain the increased traffic.

In respect of the original application, Council’s Traffic Engineer raised no objections on traffic or parking grounds. The street is adequate to accommodate the increased traffic flow.

Speeding drivers cause a safety problem. This concern was raised in respect of traffic using Eltham Street and Westminster Road. The issue of speeding traffic is a matter for NSW Police rather than Council. 7. Policy Implications Relevant Provisions of Environmental Planning Instruments etc: Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979. (a) Section 96 – Modification of Consents

Page 56: dev 0308 060508 - City of Ryde · 2016. 2. 1. · Development Committee Agenda No. 3/08, dated 6 May 2008. ITEM 2 (Continued) Section 79C 'Matters for Consideration' Comments Section

Development Committee Page 55

Development Committee Agenda No. 3/08, dated 6 May 2008.

ITEM 4 (Continued) In accordance with Section 96(2), Council may consider a modification of development consent provided: • The proposed development is substantially the same as the approved

development; • Council has consulted any relevant authority in respect of the modification of

any condition imposed as a requirement of that authority’s concurrence; and • The application for modification has been notified in accordance with the

regulations and Council has considered any submissions regarding the proposed modification.

The first consideration is that the development is to be substantially the same as the approved development. In determining if a development application is substantially the same as the approved development, the question is whether such changes result in it being able to be said that the modified development is essentially or materially the same as the approved development. This requires a comparison between the development as currently approved and the development as proposed to be modified. The result of the comparison must be a finding that the modified development is essentially or materially the same as the approved development. The proposed development will not change the appearance of the proposed development. The only modification is in respect to the hours of operation for the drive through. In this respect, the development is considered to be substantially the same development as that which was originally approved. As part of this Section 96 application, Council was not required to consult with any relevant authority. The section 96 application was notified in accordance with Council’s requirements for a 14 day period from 14 November 2007 to 6 December 2007. During this time, 13 submissions, 57 pro forma letters and a petition containing 5 signatures were received. All of these submissions objected to the proposed extension of hours. The issues raised in these submissions have been addressed in greater detail under the heading Public Submissions. The key issue was in respect to the increased hours resulting in adverse impacts on the amenity of the locality. These issues have all been addressed in greater detail under the heading of Public Submissions.

ITEM 4 (Continued) Section 96(3) of the Act requires Council to consider those matters referred to in Section 79C(1) of the Act that are of relevance to the development the subject of the application. (b) Ryde Planning Scheme Ordinance

Zoning The site is zoned 4(b2) Industrial Light – Restricted under the provisions of the Ryde Planning Scheme Ordinance. The amendment to the development is permissible with the consent of Council. Mandatory Requirements There are no mandatory requirements that would affect the proposed section 96 application.

(c) Relevant SEPPs There are no relevant State Environmental Planning Policies that would affect the proposed section 96 application. (d) Relevant REPs There are no relevant Regional Environmental Plans that would affect the proposed section 96 application. (e) Any draft LEPs There are no relevant draft Local Environmental Plans that would affect the proposed section 96 application. (f) Any DCP (e.g. dwelling house, villa) There is no relevant DCP that would affect the proposed section 96 application. 8. Likely impacts of the Development During the notification period the majority of submissions raised concerns that the operations of the old McDonalds building adversely affected the residential amenity of the locality and in all likelihood, any extension of hours would further impact on the residential amenity.

Development Committee Agenda No. 3/08, dated 6 May 2008.

ITEM 4 (Continued) As part of the original development application the applicant sought a variation to the existing hours of operation. This variation proposed that the restaurants trading hours during the week be extended by 1 hour in the morning from 6.00am to 5.00am and for an additional hour in the evening from 11.00pm to midnight. The development also proposed to retain the 24 hour trading on Fridays and Saturdays. This extension of hours was approved as the development proposed to incorporate the following acoustic measures:

The drive-through facility will be covered within an acoustic tunnel. The rear boundary fence will be replaced with a 2 to 3 metre high acoustic barrier

wall. The management of the premises remains unchanged. Loading dock / corral area relocated to front of the site away from residential

properties. Total replacement of all mechanical services (air conditioning and exhaust

system) with modern high-quality equipment. The previous assessment report concluded that provided that these measures were implemented, Council could be satisfied that there would be minimal noise impacts caused to the adjoining residents as a consequence of the extended trading hours. The current Section 96 application proposes to extend the trading hours for the drive-through facility only to allow for 24 hour 7 days trading. The trading hours for the eat in dining would be consistent with the existing Council approval. The acoustic report submitted with the section 96 application has demonstrated that noise from the operation of mechanical plant and noise from customers and vehicles can be controlled to satisfy the recommended goals. The recommendations of this report have also been supported by the Council’s Environmental Health Officer. Concerns are raised however that the acoustic report has not addressed all possible noise sources that could affect the amenity of the residential area. These alternative noise sources include:

Persons loitering in the car park which could generate unsociable noises and disturbances for the neighbours.

Increase traffic using Eltham Street which contributes to more noise. The applicant was advised by Council’s Officers on 15 January 2008 of the issues raised in the submissions and that as the amenity of the locality was likely to be adversely affected, it was unlikely that this Section 96 could be supported by Council’s Officers. Despite this letter the applicant failed to provide any information to Council to demonstrate how the alternative noise sources could be managed.

ITEM 4 (Continued) The Land and Environment Court have issued a planning principle in respect to the assessment of an extension or intensification of a use which may have an adverse impact on residential amenity. Planning principles are a chain of reasoning aimed at reaching or a list of appropriate matters to be considered in making a planning decision. While planning principles are stated in general terms, they may be applied to particular cases to promote consistency. In this particular application, the planning principle established in Randall Pty Ltd v Leichhardt Council was as follows: Principles for the assessment of an extension or intensification of a use which may have an adverse impact on residential amenity, such as a hotel, are:

First, is the impact of the operation of an existing use on residential amenity acceptable? If the answer is no, then an extension or intensification, would be unacceptable unless there is no overall increase in impact or there are measures proposed which would mitigate the existing impact.

Second, if the answer is yes, is the impact of the proposed extension or intensification still acceptable.

In respect to the planning principle established in Randall Pty Ltd v Leichhardt Council, in all likelihood the approved hours of operation are likely to result in acceptable residential amenity. Consideration must now be given to whether the extension of hours will still result in acceptable residential amenity. Although the acoustic report has demonstrated that the extension of hours to allow for a 24 hour 7 day drive through is also likely to achieve acceptable noise levels, it has failed to address noise from alternative sources. Noises from these alternative sources could result in unacceptable residential amenity. As the applicant has failed to provide adequate information with this section 96 application it is recommended for refusal. 9. Suitability of the site for the development As the site is located adjacent to residential properties the applicant must demonstrate that the increase in trading hours will not adversely impact on the residential amenity of the adjacent properties. The applicant has not provided adequate information to demonstrate that this can be achieved. For this reason the site is unsuitable for the 24 hour trading.

ITEM 4 (Continued) 10. The Public Interest The applicant has failed to provide adequate information as part of the Section 96 application. For this reason, the Section 96 application is not considered to be in the public interest. 11. Management Plan Linkages Relationship to Key Outcome Areas People The assessment of this development application meets the key outcomes for People (set out on pages 32-33 of the Management Plan 2007-2010): • A City that plans for people by identifying their diverse needs and involving them

in decision making to improve their quality of life. Comment: The local community were notified of the proposed Section 96 application and the issues raised by the community have been taken into consideration in the assessment of this Section 96 application. Assets This matter has no direct relationship to this key outcome area. Environment This matter has no direct relationship to this key outcome area. Governance The assessment of this development application meets the key outcomes for Governance (set out on pages 39-41 of the Management Plan 2007-2010): • Improved communication with the community and increased awareness and

understanding of Council’s decisions by the community. • Members of the community are engaged through involvement in democratic

decision making and the promotion of active citizenship. • Incorporation of best practice approaches in the delivery of services to the

community. • A safe and harmonious working environment with skilled and motivated staff who

embrace the organisation's vision and values. • Compliance with all legislative requirements and statutory obligations.

ITEM 4 (Continued) Comment: The Section 96 application was notified to adjoining land owners and advertised in the press for 14 days in accordance with the statutory requirements of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act. During this time numerous submissions, pro-forma letters and a petition were received objecting to the development application. 12. Consultation – Internal and External Internal Referrals: Environmental Health Officer: The following comments were provided in respect to the Section 96 application: An assessment has been made by Atkins Acoustics and Assoc. Pty Ltd with respect to allowed noise levels during the proposed after hours of operation. An inspection of the possible sources of ‘offensive sound’ from the site has been carried out accompanied by James Milward, Development Manager, Construction for McDonald’s Australia Limited. An acoustic barrier/tunnel has been constructed adjacent to the nearest affected property and seems to be quite effective and is similar to another McDonald’s site in Cremorne. The other possible source of noise – the speaker for orders is a further distance from the nearest affected property is a further distance and will be well shielded by the concrete walls of the adjoining premises. Any deficiencies that are not recognised at this point in time will be further accessed should these shortcomings be identified. RECOMMENDATION: That the Manager Environmental Assessment be advised the proposal will be satisfactory subject to the following conditions. External Referrals NSW Police: No issue with the proposed amendment to increase the drive-through operating hours.

ITEM 4 (Continued) 13. Critical Dates There are no critical dates or deadlines to be met. 14. Financial Impact Adoption of the option(s) outlined in this report will have no financial impact. 15. Conclusion: The acoustic report submitted with the Section 96 application has failed to address any alternative noise sources. These alternative noise sources such as persons loitering in the car park as well as increased traffic noise on the surrounding residential streets could result in the amenity of the area being adversely affected. As the applicant has failed to address the management of these alternative noise sources it is recommended that the development application be refused. RECOMMENDATION: (a) That Local Development Application No. 702/2006 at 385-395 Victoria Road

GLADESVILLE being LOT: 101 DP: 749090 be refused for the following reasons;

1. The proposed extension of trading hours is likely to result in the amenity of the adjoining residential area being adversely affected.

2. Inadequate information has been submitted to demonstrate that the

extension of trading hours will not result in any adverse impacts on the amenity of the adjoining residential area.

3. The development is not considered to be in the public interest.

(b) That the persons who made submissions be advised of Council's decision. Report prepared by: Sandra Bailey Senior Town Planner Report approved by: Liz Coad Manager Assessment Environment & Planning
