Offer below rateable value will be considered
AS IS WHERE IS Dwelling zoned Bus C.The business section of the District Plan contain the requirements for this zone.

Residential activity is permitted within the Business C zone however as per rule 5.9.15 it is restricted to first floor level & above.That way the primary purpose of individual sites is still encouraged to be for business activity by being on the ground floor & any residential component enjoys an acceptable minimum level of amenity. Given the nature of anticipated activities in the Business C zone,the effects that they may create (e.g noise, fumes etc) and the sensitivity of occupiers of residential accommodation, there is also a requirement that ventilation of bedroom is not reliant on opening windows.

Currently a single level building currently utilised as a residence,looks to be designed that way so it appears there is existing use rights for the residential activity. Purchasers should be aware that if they wish to continue the residential activity use but make changes to the dwelling such as increase the footprint of the building etc it may trigger the need for resource consent under the above rule.

In terms of commercial uses, 5.3.3 of the business section contains a zone description around what is in anticipated within this zone. The types of permitted activities are commercial, retail, residential activity (as discussed above), community activities (such as educational facilities, health professionals, churches, police/fire stations etc.), visitor accommodation and recreational activities. I would note that as the site adjoins a residential zone (other side of Princes Road), the following hours of operation will be applicable as per 5.9.13:

a) Where located on a site adjoining a Residential Zone, no activity, other than residential activities, visitor accommodation or emergency service emergency call outs shall operate outside the hours of 0700 to 2100 Monday to Friday and 0900 to 1700 Saturday, Sunday and public holidays.
