The normal requirement for this type of development is 6 parking spaces per 100m2

This zoning requires 10 parking spaces per 100m2 – abnormally high

PERIOD TO GET ZONING

TIME TO RE-ZONE

• To get this zoning took from 1999 – 2006• Rezoning for other will again take about 6 years and lots

of determination

In the time it originally took to get the rights to use the land the buildings on the land were nearly completely destroyed by fire and vagrants invaded the property so much so that it became dangerous for residents in the area.

Rezoning again for other usesThis means that any person or group that want to change the zoning will require a lot a patience and the finances to pull if off

• Various individuals and groups have, over the last 14 years, attempted to take over the development of the land for various different proposals like cultural gardens but nobody has so far been successful.

• This, due to a lack of sustainable funding and sustainable project proposals
