DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION: 16 O'RIORDAN STREET ALEXANDRIA 15170206 MAJOR DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENT SUB-COMMITTEE 17 JUNE 2014 ECONOMIC/SOCIAL/ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS 16. The application has been assessed under Section 79C of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, including consideration of the following matters: Commonwealth Legislation Civil Aviation (Buildings Control) Regulations 1988 17. The proposed building exceeds 15.24 metres in height and under the provisions of the Civil Aviation (Buildings Control) Regulations 1988 the building requires approval from Sydney Airport Corporation Limited (“SACL”). Separate advice from SACL to Council provides that for applications of this nature, a condition of consent should be imposed requiring the developer to obtain approval from SACL prior to the issue of a Construction Certificate. It is recommended that an appropriate condition is incorporated into the consent. Environmental Planning Instruments and DCPs State Environmental Planning Policy No 55—Remediation of Land (“SEPP 55”) 18. The aim of SEPP 55 is to reduce the risk of harm to human health or any other aspect of the environment arising from contaminated land through remediation. The land has been previously used for industrial purposes and there is potential for land and ground water contamination to have occurred. The application proposes a more sensitive land use for a commercial hotel purposes and Council must be satisfied that the site is capable of being made suitable for the proposed use. 19. A Preliminary Site Investigation (“PSI”) was submitted with the application which concludes that a Detailed Environmental Site Assessment (“DESA”) is required to be carried out. Council requested further investigation be undertaken given the risk of potential land and/or groundwater contamination. 20. A Sampling Analysis Quality Plan (“SAQP”) was undertaken, a draft Remediation Action Plan (“RAP”) prepared and an Interim Advice letter prepared by a NSW EPA Accredited Site Auditor submitted. 21. Council’s Health and Building Unit have assessed the information and subject to recommended conditions requiring the SAQP to be implemented, a final RAP prepared and reviewed by NSW EPA Accredited Site Auditor and Council prior to any excavations below the ground floor slab, the development is considered to meet the aims of SEPP 55. State Environmental Planning Policy No 64—Advertising and Signage (“SEPP 64”) 22. SEPP 64 does not strictly apply to the proposed wall sign as it is a sign that would generally fall within the exempt development provisions of State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008. Notwithstanding this, the proposed 1.4m x 1.4m sign at the entry to the hotel is considered to be compatible with the character of the area and would be generally consistent with the aims of SEPP 64. DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION: 16 O'RIORDAN STREET ALEXANDRIA 15170206 MAJOR DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENT SUB-COMMITTEE 17 JUNE 2014 State Environmental Planning Policy 70 Affordable Housing (Revised Schemes) (“SEPP 70”) 23. SEPP 70 relates to Section 94F of the EP&A Act and provides that where the consent authority is satisfied that the development meets certain criteria and a Local Environmental Plan authorises an affordable housing condition to be imposed, such a condition should be imposed so that mixed and balanced communities are created. 24. Clause 7.13 of Sydney LEP 2012 authorises that an affordable housing contribution may be levied for development in land in Green Square. 25. The development satisfies the criteria because Green Square is undergoing renewal as a result of rezoning and infrastructure investment, in which, the subject land has benefited from. 26. It is recommended that a condition imposing an affordable housing contribution to aid in the delivery of affordable housing in accordance with the principles in Schedule 2 of SEPP 70 is appropriate. State Environmental Planning Policy (Infrastructure) 2007 (“SEPPI”) 27. The application is subject to clause 45 of SEPPI as the development is likely to affect an electricity transmission or distribution network. The application was referred to Ausgrid who advised that an electricity substation will be required to be accommodated within the development. It is recommended that the standard Electricity Substation condition be incorporated into the consent. 28. The application is subject to clause 86 of SEPPI and requires concurrence as the development involves ground penetration within 25m (measured horizontally) of an underground rail corridor (Green Square to Mascot heavy rail line). The application was referred to RailCorp who requested further Geotechnical and Structural details be submitted. The information was submitted and concurrence granted by RailCorp subject to conditions on 12 May 2014. 29. The application is subject to clause 100 of SEPPI as the new driveway cross over is located on a classified road (O’Riordan Street). The application was referred to the RMS who granted its concurrence on 23 December 2013. 30. The application is subject to clause 101 of SEPPI, as the site has a frontage to a classified road. Certain matters relating to access, emissions and noise are required to be considered. Council is satisfied that the safety, efficiency and ongoing operation of O’Riordan Street will not be adversely affected for the following reasons: (a) vehicular access cannot be provided from another road other than the classified road. The driveway is located 164 metres from the nearest signalised intersection; (b) subject to appropriate conditions, it is unlikely that dust emissions during construction will affect the road network; (c) the four car spaces and generated volumes of traffic from the development will not unreasonably impact on the local road network; and DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION: 16 O'RIORDAN STREET ALEXANDRIA 15170206 MAJOR DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENT SUB-COMMITTEE (d) 17 JUNE 2014 an Acoustic Report was submitted and recommends structural design measures to achieve the relevant indoor noise criterion. It is recommended that the recommendations of the acoustic report form part of the consent conditions. Sydney Local Environmental Plan 2012 (“SLEP 2012”) 31. The site is located within the B5 Business development zone. The proposed development provides temporary or short-term accommodation on a commercial basis and is characterised as ‘hotel and motel accommodation’, which is permissible with consent. 32. The new access driveway is located within the SP2 Infrastructure zone. The driveway is characterised as ‘roads’ which are permissible with consent. 33. The relevant B5 zoning objectives seek to establish a zone used for predominately business and warehouse uses that are close to and support the viability of centres, create employment opportunities and activate street frontages. The development is capable of achieving the zone objectives in that the development provides for a commercial hotel that is close to the future Green Square Town Centre, will support that future centre and provides an appropriate relationship with the public domain at ground level. 34. The relevant matters to be considered under SLEP 2012 for the proposed development are outlined below. PROVISION COMPLIES COMMENT Part 4 Principal Development Standards 4.3 Yes Height of Buildings A maximum building height of 40 metres is permitted.

Yes The site is not a heritage item or located within a heritage conservation area. Preservation of trees or vegetation 5.10 Heritage conservation Part 6 Local Provisions—Height and Floor Space 6.21 Yes Design Excellence The building has been designed to draw on the industrial context and conceptual form of ‘stacked’ shipping containers which will be visually interesting in the existing streetscape. Detail of the applied finishes and proposed construction methodology (to prevent drainage streaking on the walls) was provided during the assessment process. Overall, the development is capable of meeting the objectives of this provision and performs when tested against the matters to be considered under this provision. Part 7 Local Provisions—General 7.1 – 7.9 Yes Car parking ancillary to other development A maximum of 25 car spaces are permitted to service the hotel or motel accommodation use. A total of 3 are proposed and complies with the maximum standard. It is noted that a single service space is also proposed (taking the total to 4 spaces), however, under the relevant definitions these spaces are not included when calculating the maximum development standard for parking. 7.13 Yes The site is located in Green Square and subject to an affordable housing contribution, which has been included as a consent condition. Yes The site is located within a Class 5 Acid Sulphate Soil (“ASS”) zone and is approximately 23m from a Class 3 zone. Considering that the land is not located in low lying coastal areas where ASS were typically formed further investigation is not considered necessary. Affordable housing 7.14 Acid Sulphate Soils DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION: 16 O'RIORDAN STREET ALEXANDRIA 15170206 MAJOR DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENT SUB-COMMITTEE PROVISION 7.15 COMPLIES COMMENT Yes A site specific flood analysis was prepared which identifies the 1 in 100 year levels and PMF levels. A design statement and merits based approach was prepared to justify the car park and hotel lobby levels. Council’s Public Domain Unit has advised that the design levels are consistent with Council’s Flood Planning policies. Yes The land is not identified as being in an area sensitive to aircraft noise and the building does not penetrate aircraft operation space. Yes The subject application seeks to demolish all buildings and redevelop the land and satisfies this provision.

The relevant matters to be considered under SDCP 2012 for the proposed development are outlined below. DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION: 16 O'RIORDAN STREET ALEXANDRIA 15170206 MAJOR DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENT SUB-COMMITTEE 17 JUNE 2014 2. Locality Statements – Green Square (2.5.4 East Alexandria) The subject site is located in East Alexandria neighbourhood in the Green Square Locality. East Alexandria is identified as a future thriving, evolving industrial neighbourhood with taller, commercial buildings towards the Green Square Town Centre. Future development in the eastern part of the neighbourhood, where the subject site is located, is planned for higher density commercial and businesses to support the function of the Green Square Town Centre as the planned major centre for the southern part of the City. Specifically, O’Riordan Street is nominated as requiring widened footpaths and public domain improvements including awnings and trees. The proposal is for hotel accommodation which is classified as commercial premises. The use is consistent with the desired uses envisaged for the area and in time, and will be able to benefit from the future Planned Major Centre. The development addresses the need for public domain upgrades by proposing to dedicate and embellish a 2.4m wide front setback for footpath widening. The proposed building complies with the built form controls and adopts a scale and expression that represents a higher density and building form that is consistent with future vision of the area. For these reasons, the development is considered to be consistent with the desired future character principles for the locality. 3. General Provisions Development Control 3.1 Public Domain Elements Complies Yes Comment Streets, lanes and footpaths The proposal will result in an improved public domain outcome adjacent to the site. The public domain will be increased from 3.5m wide to 6m wide and accommodate a footpath, awning and street trees in accordance with Council standards to improve the pedestrian amenity. Yes Pedestrian and bike network A shared bicycle path is planned for O’Riordan Street and the proposal will not affect the delivery of this infrastructure. 3.2 Defining the Public Domain Yes Improving the public domain Sun access and views to the public domain will not be adversely affected as a result of the development. DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION: 16 O'RIORDAN STREET ALEXANDRIA 15170206 MAJOR DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENT SUB-COMMITTEE 17 JUNE 2014 3. General Provisions Development Control Complies Yes Comment Addressing the street and public domain The proposed building has an appropriate interface with the public domain in that: Yes • The ground floor lobby is the same level as the footpath. • The car parking areas at ground level are not discernible from the street as they are screened by the lobby. • The proposed materials and finishes are of a suitable quality and will not result in an unreasonable level of solar glare when viewed from the public domain. Active frontages The site is identified as requiring an active frontage. The proposal addresses the control by providing double storey transparent glazing to the lobby frontage and a fixed awning to define the building entry. The control discourages driveways, services and fire escapes along active frontages, however, there is no alternative location for these elements on this site. It is considered that visual impact of these elements has been minimised by limiting the driveway width and concealing and recessing the roller shutter, hydrant booster and fire escape door. Yes Footpath awnings The site is not identified as requiring a footpath awning. Two awnings are proposed, one at 5.5m high along the entire frontage and a localised awning above the entry to the hotel lobby 3.2m above footpath level. The awnings define the entry and provide some weather protection and are considered acceptable. 3.3 Design Excellence and Competitive Design Processes Yes The development does not trigger the requirement for a Competitive Design Process to be undertaken. 3.4 Hierarchy of Centres, City South Yes The site is within the Green Square Town Centre Primary Trade Area and the development does not propose retail floor area. DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION: 16 O'RIORDAN STREET ALEXANDRIA 15170206 MAJOR DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENT SUB-COMMITTEE 17 JUNE 2014 3. General Provisions Development Control 3.5 Urban Ecology 3.6 Ecologically Sustainable Development Complies Comment Yes The proposal will not affect the urban ecology and additional street trees will be accommodated within the widened public domain. Capable Energy and water efficiency in non-residential developments Each hotel room has access to light and air, however the development mainly relies on active heating and cooling which is generally acceptable for hotel accommodation. The main corridor on each level has access to light and air and aids in reducing reliance on active heating and cooling for circulation areas. It is recommended that conditions are incorporated into the consent to ensure that all new water fittings and fixtures such as showerheads, water tap outlets, urinals and toilet cisterns, are the highest Water Efficiency Labelling Scheme (WELS) star rating available at the time of the development. 3.7 Water and Flood Management Yes Site specific flood study A site specific flood analysis was prepared which identifies the 1 in 100 year levels and PMF levels. A design statement and merits based approach was prepared to justify the car park and hotel lobby levels. Council’s Public Domain Unit has advised that the design levels are consistent with Council’s Flood Planning policies. Capable Drainage and stormwater management Stormwater disposal and drainage from the development can be provided in accordance with Council’s standard requirements, subject to consent conditions. 3.8 Subdivision, Strata Subdivision and Consolidation Yes The application seeks development consent for land subdivision through the excising of land for dedication to Council for footpath widening purposes. The land dedication is the subject of a Planning Agreement between Council and the developer and it is recommended that a condition requiring the dedication in accordance with the terms of the Planning Agreement is incorporated into the consent. 3.9 Heritage Yes The site is not a heritage item or located within a heritage conservation area. DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION: 16 O'RIORDAN STREET ALEXANDRIA 15170206 MAJOR DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENT SUB-COMMITTEE 17 JUNE 2014 3. General Provisions Development Control Complies Comment 3.10 Significant Architectural Building Types Yes The existing warehouse buildings are not identified as a Significant Architectural Building. 3.11 Transport and Parking Yes Managing transport demand A Traffic Impact Assessment was submitted with the application which concludes that the generated volumes of traffic will not unreasonably impact on the local road network. Yes Bike parking and associated facilities A total of 8 bicycle parking spaces and adequate facilities are proposed. Yes Vehicle Parking A total of 4 car parking spaces are proposed and complies with the parking rates in the SLEP 2012. Yes Service vehicle parking A service space is proposed and is acceptable. No Passenger pick up and set down areas The control requires 2 car spaces plus 1 bus/coach space per 100 rooms. It is considered appropriate to allocate 1 of the on-site spaces as a pick up/set down space. A bus set down area within the site is unfeasible. The street adjacent to the site can be used as a pick up/set down space, however, is only available during off peak traffic periods due to a clearway operating on both sides of O’Riordan St between 6am and 10am and 3pm and 7pm weekdays. As such, it is recommended that a condition stipulate that bus/coach pick up/set down cannot occur during these periods. Given the parking constraints on the site, it is recommended that the development actively promote use of public transport. It is recommended that a Green Travel Plan is developed and incorporated into the site overall plan of management. Yes Accessible parking An accessible visitor space is provided. DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION: 16 O'RIORDAN STREET ALEXANDRIA 15170206 MAJOR DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENT SUB-COMMITTEE 17 JUNE 2014 3. General Provisions Development Control Complies Yes Comment Vehicle access and footpaths The proposed driveway crosses the footpath at grade, the entry and exit from the site is in a forward direction and the driveway width is generally 3.6m wide. Yes Design and location of waste collection points and loading Areas Waste is proposed to be collected at grade and off street within the parking area and a turn table is proposed to allow safe collection and circulation for collection trucks. Yes Parking area design The proposed car parking area is capable for being well lit, screened from the public domain and capable of being naturally ventilated through the void. 3.12 Accessible Design Yes Equitable access to the building is provided from the allotment boundary at the main points of entry and from the accessible car parking space to the lobby and hotel rooms. An accessible WC in the lobby and 6 accessible hotel rooms are provided in the development. 3.13 Social and Environmental Responsibilities Yes Promote safety through design of buildings The building design is considered to sufficiently address the relevant considerations as the hotel foyer is located to maximise casual surveillance of the street and is clearly visible from the street. The pedestrian route from the car parking spaces to lift lobby has also been designed to be as direct as possible. A Plan of Management has been prepared indicating that the front doors will be locked from 9pm with access only permitted through a key card and security cameras are to be installed within the circulation spaces on all levels. DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION: 16 O'RIORDAN STREET ALEXANDRIA 15170206 MAJOR DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENT SUB-COMMITTEE 17 JUNE 2014 3. General Provisions Development Control 3.14 Waste Complies Yes Comment Waste management plans The waste management process within the development can be provided in accordance with the City of Sydney Policy for Waste Minimisation in New Developments 2005 subject to recommended conditions. 3.15 Late Night Trading Management N/A It is proposed to operate the hotel 24 hours a day 7 days a week, which is standard for a use of this nature. The control does not apply to the proposal as hotel accommodation is not classified as a Category A or Category B premises. As per the application, the hotel does not contain a food or drink premises and does not intend on operating as a licensed premises. Notwithstanding this, operation of a premises providing hotel accommodation on a 24 hour basis is acceptable as the site is within a business zone and will not unreasonably impact on the amenity and safety of the neighbourhood. 3.16 Signage and Advertising Yes One business identification sign is proposed on the wall next to the entry to the hotel foyer. The sign is proposed to be 1.4m by 1.4m and externally illuminated by down lights between 6am and 10pm. The sign is compatible with the scale of the building and generally consistent with the controls. DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION: 16 O'RIORDAN STREET ALEXANDRIA 15170206 MAJOR DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENT SUB-COMMITTEE 17 JUNE 2014 4. Development Types 4.2 Residential Flat, Commercial and Mixed Use Developments Development Control 4.2.1 Building height Complies Yes Comment Height in storeys and street frontage height in storeys The maximum height in storeys permitted is 11 storeys. The development proposes 8 storeys and complies with the control. No street frontage height control exists for the site, therefore, assessment is based on the street frontage height of adjacent buildings or buildings in the vicinity of the site. The proposed 8 storey street frontage height is inconsistent with the adjoining single storey warehouses. The proposal is considered appropriate given that it is the first building to redevelop in the block and it complies with setback and height controls. Floor to ceiling heights for commercial and retail buildings The control requires a minimum 3.6m floor to ceiling height for commercial premises on the ground floor. The hotel foyer has a 5m floor to ceiling height and the back of house is 2.7m floor to ceiling height. The rooms on the levels above adopt a 3.1m floor to floor height which enables delivery of a 2.7m floor to ceiling height and is considered to offer a good level of amenity for hotel rooms. 4.2.2 Building setbacks Yes A 2.4m front setback control applies to O’Riordan Street and a 2.4m setback is provided. Building setbacks for this site are also provided in the Green Square part of SDCP 2012 (Section 5). Considering the controls in Section 5 take precedence over those in Section 4, please refer to discussion under 5.2.10 of SDCP 2012 and Issues section later in this report.

Development Types 4.2 Residential Flat, Commercial and Mixed Use Developments Development Control 4.2.3 Amenity Complies N/A Comment Internal solar access and cross ventilation There is no minimum requirement for solar access or cross ventilation to hotel rooms. In any event each room has window or opening with access to daylight and ventilation. Yes Overshadowing to adjoining properties The proposal will cause overshadowing throughout the day to the adjoining sites to the south. As these developments are industrial in nature and the zone does not permit any residential accommodation there is no overshadowing to dwellings. N/A Internal common areas The common corridors have a minimum width of 1.5m – 1.8m and part of the corridor on every level has access to daylight and natural ventilation. N/A Balconies and Outlook The rooms that address O’Riordan Street have a Juliette balcony with an outlook over the neighbourhood. Yes Acoustic privacy An Acoustic Assessment was submitted with the application which assesses the external traffic noise and inter-tenancy impacts on the future occupants. Acoustic measures including insulation and glazing construction specifications for the building have been recommended to comply with the internal noise criteria identified in the SEPPI and SDCP 2012 control. There are no sensitive residential dwellings in proximity of the site. It is recommended that the recommendations of the acoustic report form part of the consent conditions. 4.2.4 Fine grain, architectural diversity and articulation Yes The building is 15 metres wide and has a single architectural character with contemporary aesthetic. The car parking spaces are sleeved by the hotel lobby and not visible from the street.

Council’s Public Domain Unit has advised that the design levels are consistent with Council’s Flood Planning policies. 5.2.8 Highly Visible Sites Yes The site is not identified as a Highly Visible Site. 5.2.9 Building Design Yes The development generally performs against the controls in this section for the following reasons: • • • • • • The buildings are aligned to the new site boundary and street, consistent with the control, to define and frame the street edge and provide clear delineation between the public and private domain. It is unlikely that the building will affect significant views to the City skyline from surrounding properties. The development includes the provision of new footpaths to enhance the quality of the streetscape and improve pedestrian amenity The primary building material is rendered and painted (white) masonry and transparent glazing with applied secondary finishes including timber veneer and sandstone. Fixed aluminium horizontal louvers are also introduced into the front facade and to the majority of the windows to the hotel rooms are at the rear for privacy reasons. The hotel foyer entrance is clearly defined by double storey scale glazing and a fixed awning. The vehicular entry is contained to a single driveway which is separated from the foyer entry to minimise pedestrian and vehicle conflict.

The Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and Civil Aviation (Buildings Control) Regulations 1988. CONCLUSION 61. The proposed development is consistent with the core development standards and zone objectives contained in SLEP 2012. The development will provide a fully commercial development in the Business Development zone, and in time, will be able to benefit from the future major centre, Green Square Town Centre. 62. The proposed building complies with the built form controls and adopts a scale and expression that represents a higher density and form that is consistent with the future vision for the area. Internally, the building provides a sufficient level of amenity to the hotel rooms, consistent with the controls and objectives contained in SDCP 2012. 63. The proposal seeks to maximise the permitted floor space on the land by providing community infrastructure on and around the site. The application was accompanied by a public benefit offer for land dedication, embellishment of that land for a widened footpath and a monetary contribution to be allocated toward infrastructure within Green Square Town Centre. A draft Planning Agreement has been prepared to secure the provision of the community infrastructure and the terms are currently being finalised and it is expected to be placed on public exhibition in the near future 64. For this reason, the recommendation is for Council to consider the merits of the proposal and delegate the decision to determine the development application to the Chief Executive Officer upon completion of the Planning Agreement process.
