* Provided that a maximum width of 9.0 m is permitted where the crossing needs to
accommodate the tracking path of large heavy vehicles
Minimum vehicle crossing widths to the State highway network may be greater than those
above. All access to the State highway network requires the approval of the New Zealand
Transport Agency under the Government Roading Powers Act 1989. Applicants are
advised to contact the New Zealand Transport Agency's Auckland Office.
The gradient of the access must not be steeper than specified in Table 16.

Note
For curved ramps and driveways, the gradient is measured along the inside radius (refer to
Figure 6).
2.
To avoid the underside of the car striking the ground, as illustrated in Figure 7,
access with a change in gradient exceeding 1 in 8 (greater than 12.5 per cent
change) at the summit or a 1 in 6.7 (15 per cent change) at a sag must include
transition sections to achieve adequate ground clearance, refer to Figure 8.
Typically, a transition section requires a minimum length of 2m.
3.
All vehicle access must be designed so that where the access adjoins the road there
is sufficient space on-site for a platform so that vehicles can stop safely and check
for pedestrians and other vehicles prior to exiting. This is illustrated in Figure 9. The
platform must have a maximum gradient no steeper than 1 in 20 (5 per cent) and a
minimum length of 4m for residential activities and 6m for all other activities.

Note
The gradient change is determined by subtracting one gradient from the adjacent gradient, both
expressed as percentages if this is greater than a 12.5 per cent change, then a gradient
transition will be required.

in Table 17 to correct for gradient.
1.
Sites subject to sightlines for level crossings are identified on the planning maps by
the Auckland- wide restrictions, Infrastructure overlay - Level crossings with
sightline controls. Level crossings with sightline controls are controlled by Stop or
Give Way signs, rather than by alarms and/or barrier arms. If alarms and/or barrier
arms are subsequently installed at these locations, the rules below cease to apply.

signs
ii.
the approach sight triangles are calculated by reference to Figure 11. For a single
set of railway tracks, the sight triangles are defined by a triangle taken 30m from the
outside rail and 320m along the railway track. For each additional set of tracks, 25m
is added to the 320m along the railway track.

Assessment criteria
When considering an application for a restricted discretionary activity for a proposal listed below,
the council will consider the whether the proposal meets the criteria listed below.
The council will consider the relevant assessment criteria below for the restricted discretionary
development control infringements listed above;
1A.
a.
the effects on the function and the safe and efficient operation of the
transport network including pedestrian movement, particularly at peak traffic
times.
b.

a.
the effects additional land used for of the parking on the will not
undermine efficient use of land and the growth and intensification provided
for in the Unitary Plan in the following zones and locations: City Centre,

the applicant has demonstrated that the extent to which the demand for
the additional parking cannot be adequately addressed by management of
existing or permitted parking. Depending on number of additional parking
spaces proposed, the number of employees, and the location of the site,
this may need to be supported by a detailed travel plan outlining
measures and commitments for the activity or activities on-site will to
minimise the need for private vehicle use and make efficient use of any
parking provided.
2.
the amount of parking proposed is sufficient for the proposal having regard
due to:
i.
ii.
the availability and accessibility of the site by public transport serving the
site
iii.
the measures and commitments outlined in a detailed travel plan for the
site which will reduce the need for vehicle use to a level where parking
demands can be satisfactorily addressed through efficient use of the
proposed parking.

d.
the extent to which whether the parking requirements of the proposal will be
met by entering into a shared parking arrangement with another site in the
immediate vicinity that has available parking spaces which are not required at
the same time as the proposed activity. For example, the proposed activity
operates outside of normal business hours and the activity on the other site
only operates during normal business hours. In such a situation, the council
will require a legal agreement between the applicant and owner and occupiers
of the site confirming the arrangement.

if a character overlay applies to the site, the extent to which the provision of a
minimum carparking requirement would detrimentally affect the character and
features of the area or site identified by the overlay.
3.
Infringing the development controls for cycle parking and end-of-trip facilities
a.
sufficient provision is made for cyclists and active modes and changes
in demand for such facilities can be accommodated if the operation or
use changes over time, having regard to:
i.
the nature of the operation and the likely demand for long and short-term
cycle parking and end-of-trip facilities
iA.
the extent to which the cycle parking facilities are designed and located
to match the needs of the intended users.
iB.
the extent to which adequate alternative, safe and secure cycle parking
and end of trip facilities (such as showers and lockers), that meet the
needs of the intended users, are available in a nearby location that is
readily accessible.
iC.
ii.
the availability of adequate public cycle parking for short-stay use in the
vicinity. The council must have a reasonable expectation that the public
cycle parking will continue to be available.

the provision made for cyclists and active modes is practicable and
adequate given site limitations and layout, arrangement of buildings
and activities, users and operational requirements.
