Objectives
of zone
-
to provide for the housing needs of the community whitin a low density
residential environment

to day needs of residents
-
to retain the single dwelling of character of the environmentally sensitive
residential areas of Mosman.
-
To maintain the general dominance of landscape ove build form, particularly on
harbour foreshores.
-
To ensure that sites are of sufficient size to provide for buildings, vehicular
and pedestrian access, landscaping and retention of natural topographical
features.
- To ensure that development is of a height and
scale that complements the desire future character.

Maximum
height
|
|
Maximum
of two storeys. Council may allow an additional storey in attic roof space of
existing and new buildings, or in the foundation space of existing buildings,
provided that the building height and bulk is of an appropriate form and
scale.
Council
may consider consistent pitched roof forms to extend beyond max building
height.
|
Max
height = 8.5m
Max
wall height = 7.2m.

|
Floor
space ratio
|
The
floor space ratio of buildings on a site is the ratio of the gross floor area
of all buildings within the site to the site area.
|
Maximum floor space ratio if the site
area is greater than 700 square metres—0.5:1 for
700 square metres and 0.4:1 for the
remaining area.
|
Site
area = 713sqm
FSR
= (700x0.5) + (13x0.4) = 355.2sqm.

Setbacks
to boundaries
|
Setbacks
define the overall footprint of a building and the outer extremities of that
building in relation to the front, side and rear boundaries.
Appropriate
street setbacks controls can contribute to the public domain by enhancing the
streetscape character and continuity of street facades.
|
|
Minimum
side boundary setback of:
900mm
if single storey (<3.6m wall height) or
1.5m
if two storey (up to 7.2m wall height)
|

|
Fencing
|
Fences
play a major role in deteminnig the appearance of developments and their
contribution towards the streetscape.
|
Front
fences, and side fences forward of the building line, must have max height of
1.2m above footpath level.
|
Max
height of 1.2m, under special circumstances may exceed up to 1.8m.
|
Clause
5.2, Fences and Walls (RDCP)
|
Landscaping
|
Landscaping
plays an important role in integrating new development into a streetscape, improving
the level of amenity, improving local habitat for flora and fauna.
|
For
site areas between 500-900sqm, the following formula must be applied (resulting
in a percentage of site area).
LA%
= 30+[(SA-500)]/20
Where
SA = site area = 713sqm.
|
LA
= 30+[(713-500)/20]
Minimum
landscaped area as percentage of the site = LA = 40.65%

Notes:
View sharing
(Clause 4.3, View Sharing (RDCP))
- - Public views and vistas must
be protected and maintained where possible – where available from the street,
should be preserved by use of open style fencing and carports.
- - New development should be
designed to minimise view loss to adjoining and adjacent properties while still
providing opportunities for views from the development itself.
- - Trees with light open foliage
and canopy are preferred (which do not obstruct views but do contribute to the
wooded landscape of Mosman. Species such as Leyland Cypress (Leighton Green)
and its cultivars should not be planted)
