3. Maritime passenger operations and facilities established after the date of plan notification

a.traffic and parking.

4. CMA structures or buildings and buildings on land

a.views and visual amenity.

1.Location, extent, design and materials used

a.Any marina development should be of a scale, design and materials and located so that it remedies or mitigates adverse effects on the coastal environment, particularly the following:

i.the natural character of the coastal environment

ii.effects on the recreational, visual and amenity values in the locality, including lighting effects

iii.public access to, along and within the CMA

iv.effects on the landscape elements and features

v.effects on cultural and historic heritage values in the locality

vi.noise effects including construction noise and ongoing operational noise, such as halyard slap

vii.effects on coastal processes including wave sheltering, downstream effects, sediment movement, erosion and deposits, littoral drift, and localised effects on water currents

viii.effects on significant surf-breaks

ix.the need for capital works and maintenance dredging within the marina and any approach/entrance channel, options for disposal, measures to address any contaminants in dredged material, and effects of dredging on water quality

x.effects on other users of the CMA including existing moorings and public boat ramps

xi.effects on navigation and safety and the need for any aids to navigation

xii.the provision of shore-based facilities including car and trailer parking, boat storage and maintenance areas, administration buildings, public toilets, boat racks, lockers, public access and esplanade reserves, landscaping and urban design treatment

xiii.consideration of any relevant council structure plans, concept plans, strategies, reserve management plans, designations or additional limitations that apply to the adjoining land.

2.Existing uses and activities

a.Buildings and activities should consider existing activities including marine related industries, other marina activities and/or adjoining residential/coastal activities. The scale of the proposed activity, the layout of buildings, and acoustic treatment, visual screening, security and landscaping will need to be carefully considered.

3.Traffic and parking

a.Refer to the Auckland-wide rules - Transport assessment criteria.

b.The proposal, including any additional vehicle movements, should not adversely affect the safe and efficient operation of the internal or adjacent road network, including the operation of public transport and the movement of pedestrians, cyclists and general traffic.

c.The provision of parking should ensure the amount of parking is adequate for the site and the proposal, and consider effects on alternative parking available in the area and access to the rapid and frequent service network.

4.Marine industry other than the maintenance and servicing of vessels, maritime passenger facilities

a.Measures should be taken to address reverse sensitivity effects on the surrounding marina zone activities.

b.The activity should be complementary to, and not limit the primary use of the site for marina purposes including the operation of marina activities, maritime passenger transport or other marine-related activities.

c.Adequate provision should be made for activities with a functional requirement for a coastal location.

d.The foreseeable future demand for space for activities with a functional requirement for a coastal location should be provided for without requiring further reclamation as a result of other activities being located within the zone.

e.Measures should be taken to enhance public access to the CMA.

f.Design should reflect the high visibility and coastal nature of the site.

g.The activity should avoid, remedy or mitigate adverse effects on the amenity of the locality arising from use of the facility, including by controlling noise and hours of operation.

h.Any generation of a need for parking or transport facilities should not be in conflict with the main marina use and should be integrated with public transport.

5.Intensification of berthage

a.Intensification of berthage within marina zones should be enabled where it will avoid, remedy or mitigate adverse effects on the coastal environment, and allow for more efficient use of the CMA.
