Proposal Summary
(continued):
17 JUNE 2014
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.
The application should not be determined by Council
until the Planning Agreement is exhibited for 28 days
and any submissions considered.
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.
Summary Recommendation:
It is recommended that delegation be given to the
Chief Executive Officer to determine the application
upon completion of the Planning Agreement process.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS/S94 CONTRIBUTION
Affordable Housing Contributions
54.
The development is subject to the affordable housing contribution under clause
7.13 of SLEP 2012. The contribution is calculated based on:
(a)
55.
$50.05 per square metre of the total non-residential floor area (3864sqm).
The contribution equates to $193,393.20 which is payable to NSW Planning and
Infrastructure prior to issue of a Construction Certificate.
Section 94 Development Contributions
56.
The development is subject to development contributions under City of Sydney
Development Contributions Plan 2006 (“the plan”). The contribution is calculated
based on the development’s net increase in population (in this instance increase in
visitor population and workforce population).
57.
Part 4.15 of the plan provides the method for calculating the Non-Private Dwelling
(Visitor Orientated) Occupancy Rate for the purposes of the Section 94 calculation.
The proposed occupancy rate is based on:
(a)
Total potential occupancy = 100 (rooms) x 1.75 (persons per room) = 175
occupancy;
DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION: 16 O'RIORDAN STREET ALEXANDRIA

MAJOR DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENT
SUB-COMMITTEE
17 JUNE 2014
(b)
Actual average occupancy rate = 75% (over 5 year period); and
(c)
Average actual total occupancy rate = 175 x 75% = 131 residents of a
Non-Private Dwelling.
58.
The Employee Density for Visitor Accommodation as per the industry/statistical
standards in Figure 4.9 of the plan is 1.37 employees per room equating to a total
of 73 employees generated by the proposal. A credit is available for the 4 existing
employees (as per last approved use application D/2008/2031).
59.
Based on the net increase in the visitor and workforce populations, a contribution
of $1,257,956.56, is payable to the Council prior to issue of the Construction
Certificate.
RELEVANT LEGISLATION
60.
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.
