8 32.5 Landscaping for the Aviation Commercial Zone and Rural Industrial A zone: The following rules shall apply: a) Walls and solid fences may only be erected on the internal boundary where yards are required. Fences shall not be erected on any boundary where landscaping is required. b) Where security fencing is required, visually and water permeable type fencing to be provided e.g chain link fencing. c) Boundaries adjacent to or within the airport shall require no landscaping. However, if landscaping is introduced, it shall not interfere with aircraft utilising Gisborne Airport. d) The height restrictions imposed by the existence of the APOA and the Airport Height Control Surface Area shall over ride any landscaping requirements of this section. e) Landscaping shall be required to be of a permeable design in areas of F4 Flood Hazard, which enables flood waters to flow without causing undue build up of water on adjoining properties and in accordance with Type 1A, 4A and 5A planting options as appropriate ( refer to Table Four). Where any conflict exists between rules in Appendix 32 and Chapter 5 Natural Hazards, the rules in Chapter 5 shall take precedence. f) No landscaped area may be used for the parking, loading or turning of vehicles except that every site may have two two-way vehicular crossings over the landscaped area, in accordance with rules in section 15.3 of the Plan. g) Liquid waste from any storage, handling or washdown area associated with any industrial activity shall be collected in sumps or areas constructed on site, so that the liquid waste does not cause or contribute to the contamination of any water or soil unless authorised to do so by a discharge consent as required by the Discharges Plan h) Landscaping shall be provided in accordance with Table Four below, provided that in circumstances where more than one type of landscape provision could apply to a site, the type with the lowest number shall prevail: Last Updated 22 April 2013 Appendix 32-8

9 32.6 Assessment Criteria for Resource consent Resource consents not in compliance with general rules for landscaping shall be assessed in respect their ability to achieve the outcomes specified below: Landscape provisions should achieve the following outcomes: 1. Provide screening to prospective buildings both from adjoining state highways or streets as well as boundaries between the newly formed zone with other zones. Differing treatments are possible for different façade types: Type 1 (Non permeable) State highway frontages to be completely screened with dense planting; Type 1A (Permeable) State highway frontages within F4 Flood Hazard Overlay providing a mix of dense screening and open area for flood water to pass Type 2 (Non permeable) For length of building along any road or adjacent to rural zone (excluding those covered by Type 1 or 3) to be screened with dense planting Type 3 (Non permeable) For length of building façade along road or rural zone, where facade is less than 30 metres and has significant architectural detailing. Tall partial screening Type 4 (Non permeable) any road where building length no more than 30 metres and not closer than 20 metres to boundary; suited to parking areas. Low partial screening Type 4A (Permeable) Partial screen of car park area vegetation providing a mix of dense partial screening and open area for flood water to pass. Type 5 (Non permeable) Any road where buildings closer than 20 metres; suited to truck manoeuvring bay and yard storage areas; Screening of yard storage areas, heavy traffic movements and headlight glare; Type 5A (Permeable) Any road where buildings closer than 20 metres; suited to truck manoeuvring bay and yard storage areas; partial screening of yard storage areas, heavy traffic movements and headlight glare. 2. Provide complete screening of backyards and outdoor storage areas of industrial sites which can become unsightly; 3. Plantings should complement rather than contrast with existing vegetated road frontages; 4. Fences (including security) required by developments to be erected internally with landscape plantings facing the roads. 5. To protect the safe and efficient operation of Gisborne airport by ensuring that landscaping is designed not to interfere with airport and aircraft operations including the use of navigation and communication devices Refer to graphic representations on following pages.
