OCTOBER 2010 PAGE 1 OF 11

SECTION A: BACKGROUND

1. BACKGROUND Erf 1635 initially owned and developed by De Sedge Investments (Pty)Ltd. A copy of the original letter of approval and accompanying layout plan is attached as Annexure A. The property was subsequently sold to Circle Brokers (Property) Limited. Several of the properties within this approved development have not yet been transferred and the title deed of the mother erf (Erf 1635) is still applicable to these properties. One of the initial conditions of approval for the development of Erf 1635 was that the restrictive title deed conditions have to be removed from the title deed of Erf 1635. This was never done by the initial developer and it is now the intention of the new owners to apply for the removal of the applicable title deed restrictions. Erven 3862 and 3863 have never been transferred from Erf 1635, hence the title deed of Erf 1635 is also applicable to these properties. Erf 3863 is currently zoned as “municipal zone”, the reason for this being that the previous owner intended to perform a land swap with the former Sedgefield Municipality. The swap entailed the swapping Erf 3863 for Erf 1666 which is being used as a municipal storage facility. The municipality would then have relocated its municipal workshops to Erf 3863 (which would have been much closer to its work force). The proposed land swap wasn’t successful; however Erf 3863 was rezoned “municipal zone” to confirm the previous owner’s commitment to the land swap agreement. It is proposed to rezone both Erf 3863 from “municipal zone” to local business zone and Erf 3862 from “private open space zone” to “local business zone”, to allow the construction and operation of a neighbourhood shopping facility. 2. THE APPLICATION Marike Vreken Town and Regional Planners have been appointed by CIRCLE BROKERS (PROPERTY) LIMITED, (refer Annexure B Power of Attorney & Company resolution) to prepare and submit the required application documentation (refer Annexure C Application forms) for the following:

(i) The Removal of restrictive Title Deed conditions in the Title Deed of Erf 1635 Sedgefield, in terms of Section 3(6) of the Removal of Restrictions Act, 1967 (Act 84 of 1967);

(ii) The rezoning of Sedgefield Erf 3862 from “Private Open Space” zone to “Local Business” zone for the purpose of shopping centre in terms of Section 17 of the Land Use Planning Ordinance, 1985 (Ordinance 15 of 1985);

(iii) The rezoning of Sedgefield Erf 3863 from “Municipal Zone” to “Local Business” zone for the purpose of shopping centre in terms of Section 17 of the Land Use Planning Ordinance, 1985 (Ordinance 15 of 1985);



3. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION, SIZE AND OWNERSHIP A copy of the Title Deed of Sedgefield Remainder of Erf 1635 (Erven 3862 & 3863) containing the details outlined below is contained in Annexure D. A copy of the General Plan for Erf 1635 is attached as Annexure E. Title Deed Description: Remainder of Erf 1635 Sedgefield, in the Knysna Municipality,

Division of Knysna, Province of the Western Cape Property Owner: CIRCLE BROKERS (PROPERTY) LIMITED Nr 1996/002687/07 Property Size: Erf 3862: 764m² Erf 3863: 4146m² Bonds: No bond is registered. Title Deed Restrictions: Condition D(15): Save for the purpose of a boarding house

referred to in paragraph 13 hereof, this property shall not without the written consent of the transferors be used for other than residential and/or agricultural and/or horticultural purposes and all trading rights thereon shall be and are hereby reserved to the transferors.

Servitudes: No servitude is registered over the property.

SECTION B CONTEXTUAL INFORMANTS

4. LOCALITY (refer Plan 1) Sedgefield Erf 3862 and 3863 are located on the north-western corner of Melkhout Road and Oestervanger Road in Sedgefield, in the Zeegezicht area, near Smutsville. The Sedgefield CBD is located approximately 1,5km northwest of the application area and no other business uses (neighbourhood centres) are located from Cola Beach to the Sedgefield CBD. The Swartvlei Estuary is located to the south west of the property.



5. CURRENT LAND USE AND ZONING 5.1. Land Use (refer Plan 2) The application property is largely vacant however Erf 3864; which is adjacent to Erf 3863 is currently being used for business purposes. 5.2. Zoning Erf 3862 is zoned “private open space zone” and Erf 3863 is zoned,”municipal zone”. 6. SURROUNDING LAND USE AND CHARACTER OF THE AREA (refer Plan 2) The application area is situated in an area that is used for predominantly low density, single residential, single residential and business (see figure 1), group housing and education (see figure 2). This area can be seen as the highest populated area in Sedgefield, due to the density of the dwellings in the area. Furthermore, this area services lower income settlements such as Smutsville and Sizamele that are located close to the property in question. Figure 1 below illustrates an example of the limited commercial opportunities in the area; whereas figure 2 shows there are existing social activity which needs to be provided for.

FIGURE 1: EXAMPLE OF ONE OF TWO INFORMAL BUSINESSES IN THE

AREA

FIGURE 2: SEDGEFIELD PRIMARY



7. SITE CHARACTERISTICS The figures below show the site characteristics of the application area:

FIGURE 3: MODERATE SLOPE AS ILLUSTRATED IN GOOGLE EARTH

The application area has a very moderate slope and consists of some vegetation. However Erf 3862 and 3863 can be seen as brownfield site as they are largely vacant.

FIG 4: VIEW OF ERF 3863 FROM THE SOUTH

FIG 5: VIEW OF ERF 3863 FROM THE EAST

The application area is bordered by one street boundary namely, Melkhout Road. As mentioned before, the land is largely vacant and does not have any sensitive vegetation, as the soil is sandy and has been used by the local community as a dumping ground. Furthermore, there are no existing structures on either Erf 3862 of 3863.



8. EXISTING POLICY FRAMEWORKS 8.1 Knysna SDF Nov 2008 According to the Knysna SDF 2008, the Sedgefield Spatial Development Framework indicates that Erf 3862 and Erf 3863 are situated within the urban edge of Sedgefield. The Knysna SDF 2008 also indicates that Erf 3862 and Erf 3863 are located within a designated local node in Sedgefield. The Knysna SDF 2008 also talks about deepening the commercial activity at away from the N2 at the primary CBD. Thus if one promotes development within a residential area and away from the CBD, one creates a new commercial node, which can lure buyers and new commercial activity away from the N2. Furthermore the Knsyna SDF 2008, propose that these local nodes should have a distinct community facilities and services focus, with small scale commercial components.

FIGURE 6: EXTRACT FROM KNYSNA SDF 2008 (SEDGEFIELD AREA)

Given the fact that the application area is located in an area that is considered to be suitable for business uses and the fact that the proposal will integrate business uses, the proposal could be regarded as being consistent with this Knysna SDF.

Erven 3862 & 3863



8.2 Sedgefield CBD Enhancement Project – Draft June 2007 The CBD Enhancement Project Draft June 2007, identified Erven 3862, 3863 and 3864 as a potential area for nodal development (see figure 7). This document suggests the following:

• High density development should be promoted. • High density mixed use development. With commercial and residential component. • Social housing provision, R100 000 up to R300 000.

Given the fact that the application area is located in an area that is considered to be suitable for mixed-use development and the fact that the proposal will integrate business uses, the proposal could be regarded as being consistent with this CBD Enhancement Project Draft June 2007.

FIGURE 7: EXTRACT FROM THE SEDGEFIELD CBD ENHANCEMENT STUDY

9. EXISTING SERVICES INFRASTRUCTURE The application area is located within the existing urban fabric and will therefore not have any significant impact on the existing services infrastructure.



SECTION C: DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL

10. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL It is proposed that Erf 3862 and Erf 3863 will be rezoned from “private open space” zone and “municipal zone” to local business zone. The purpose of this is to allow the construction of a mixed use local business node. The proposed facility will have a commercial component on the ground floor and have a residential component in the form of flats on the first floor. In total the structure will be two storeys. This proposed mixed use facility will be located within on Erf 3863 and access and parking will largely be managed on Erf 3862.

11. REMOVAL OF TITLE DEED RESTRICTIONS The Title Deed of Erf 1635 Sedgefield contains a restrictive condition that prevents the proposed rezoning and construction of a neighbourhood shopping facility. Application is therefore made in terms of Section 2 of the Removal of Restrictions Act 84 of 1967 to remove Condition D(15) from this title deed. This condition reads: Condition D(15): Save for the purpose of a boarding house referred to in paragraph 13

hereof, this property shall not without the written consent of the transferors be used for other than residential and/or agricultural and/or horticultural purposes and all trading rights thereon shall be and are hereby reserved to the transferors.

In order to allow the proposed subdivision, the abovementioned condition has to be removed from the Title Deed. It should however be noted that the approval given to the previous owner on 22 October 1996, condition 10 stated the following, “That the proposed title deed be adapted in such a manner that it makes provision for business premises because the lay-out plan only provides for one business stand”. It can clearly be seen that the local authority has already shown their concern that a business element has to be introduced in the community and that this restriction in the title deed is an issue (refer Annexure A).

According to Section 2 of the Removal of Restrictions Act 84 of 1967, an application for removal of title deed restrictions must be motivated on the basis that the removal of the restriction will benefit the township, community as well as the neighbourhood. The establishment of a mixed-use commercial centre near Smutsville is favourable for township of Smutsville, as well as the greater Sedgefield. As described in section A (6), there are limited



commercial opportunities available for the immediate community. Introducing a mixed-use commercial facility in the Smutsville area is also beneficial for the community as it helps to increase density and bring commercial opportunities and benefits, within walking distance from the residential properties in the neighbourhood. The proposed mixed-use commercial centre is also desirable for the neighbourhood wherein it is located, as business opportunities are brought closer to the community and creates new job opportunities within walking distance from existing residential areas. The integration of working and living environments is a strategic town planning principle that promotes sustainable development and that is advocated in the recently approved WCPSDF. Planning and development should address the separation of work place and residences in urban areas. The proposed rezoning will promote the integration of living environments and workplaces, and will bring economic activities closer to residential areas. It should also be noted that the existing school is in close proximity to the proposed mixed-use commercial centre, which as a result will create a strong node which will benefit the community, both social and economically. Lastly it should also be taken into account that there has been previous support from the Sedgefield Rate Payers Association, in terms of promoting a commercial node at this specific location. The Sedgefield Rate Payers Association had voiced their concerns of a commercial development on the Western entrance of town in 2006 and made the following proposal, “This proposed shopping centre will not be accessible to residents of Smutville/Sisamile not to older residents without cars”. It can clearly be seen that the credibility of the site has been identified by member of the community as well as the need for a commercial centre in this community. 12. REZONING As mentioned in Paragraph 1 of section A 1 of the report, it is intended to use both Erven 3862 and 3863 for commercial purposes. In order to do so, it is proposed to rezone; Erf 3862 which is “private open space” zone and Erf 3863 which is “municipal zone”, to “local business” zone. There are no existing structures on either property, as the site is vacant. It is proposed to build a mixed-use shopping centre. The proposed facility will have a commercial component on the ground floor and have a residential component in the form of flats on the first floor. In total the structure will be two storeys high. This proposed mixed use facility will be located on Erf 3863 and a large amount of parking will be managed on Erf 3862. The total floor area of this structure will be 2100m². The site will obtain driveway access and egress directly off Melkhout Road. According to the Knysna Spatial Development Framework 2008, the application area is situated within a designated local business node. Rezoning of the Erven 3862 &3863 to “local business” would thus be appropriate as it would comply with the surrounding functions. The provision of at least 50 parking bays is shown on the Site Development Plan (Plan 4). It is therefore clear that more than ample parking exists on the site, as only 43 parking bays are required.



SECTION D: MOTIVATION

13. MOTIVATION The Land Use Planning Ordinance, 1985 (Ordinance 15 of 1985) states in Section 36 that the reasons for refusing an application may only be considered on the basis of the “lack of desirability” of the proposed land use. The following points must be taken into consideration when evaluating the desirability of this application: 13.1 Desirability of the development proposal

According the rezoning application form of Knysna Municipality as well as Provincial guidelines, the following aspects have to be considered when the desirability of an application is considered:

(i) Physical characteristics of the site: - the application concluded that application area

contain no physical characteristics that could prevent the implementation of the development proposal.

(ii) Existing spatial planning policies applicable to the area: - Section B (8) of the report concluded that this development application is consistent with the approved statutory spatial policy framework for the area, as well as the CBD Enhancement Project Draft June 2007 document and the Knysna SDF.

(iii) Character of the surrounding area: - The application area is located within a local

node consisting of an education facility and informal small businesses. The application area is located to the west of the Smutsville and Sizamile neighbourhood, an area that is characterised by high density residential components; hence it is ideally located for the proposed commercial and residential development without having any negative impact on the characteristics of the Smutsville and Sizamile neighbourhood. It should further be noted that the Knysna Council has recently approved a rezoning application to develop middle income residential apartments on Erf 4939 to the southwest of the application area. It is therefore clear that this area displays the characteristics of a higher intensity local node.

(iv) The potential of the property: - Erven 3862 and 3863 are located adjacent to the

neighbourhoods of Smutsville and Sizamile, which is one of the areas with the highest residential densities. Hence the proposed local neighbourhood shopping centre will primarily service these high density residential areas.

(v) The location and accessibility of the property: - The site is located within an existing

residential neighbourhood as mentioned before. The high density of residents results in the majority of shoppers being pedestrian. Thus reducing the need of motor



vehicles, however there is amble amount of parking and access is available. Access to the site is made from Melkhout Road.

(vi) Provision of services: - The application area is located within the existing urban fabric

and since ample parking can be provided on the application area, the proposal will not have any significant impact on the existing services infrastructure.

(vii) Provision of community facilities and open space: - The application area is walking

distance from lower income areas; hence the residents of these neighbourhoods will not have to depend on public or private transport to access this centre.

It is concluded that the development proposal meets the desirability criteria and it can therefore be regarded as “desirable”. 13.2 Densification It is a well-known fact that densification results in more cost effective service provision. Therefore the proposed mixed-use development will result in the optimal utilisation of exiting services capacity in this area. The Provincial Spatial Development Framework (PSDF) promotes higher residential densities in urban areas in order to relieve development pressures on the urban fringe areas. This proposal is therefore consistent with the goals of the PSDF. 13.3.1 No impact on existing land use rights Given the fact that the proposed new properties are consistent with the ruling property sizes in the area, and the fact that the proposed property has been identified for mixed-use development in the past, the proposed removal of title deed restriction and rezoning will have no impact whatsoever on any existing land use rights. 14. CONCLUSION In light of this motivation, it is clear from the foregoing report that the application for:

(i) The Removal of restrictive Title Deed conditions in the Title Deed of Erf 3863 Sedgefield, in terms of Section 3(6) of the Removal of Restrictions Act, 1967 (Act 84 of 1967);

(ii) The rezoning of Sedgefield Erf 3862 from “Private Open Space” zone to “Local Business” zone for the purpose of shopping centre in terms of Section 17 of the Land Use Planning Ordinance, 1985 (Ordinance 15 of 1985);



(iii) The rezoning of Sedgefield Erf 3863 from “Municipal Zone” to “Local Business” zone for the purpose of shopping centre in terms of Section 17 of the Land Use Planning Ordinance, 1985 (Ordinance 15 of 1985);

is desirable and it is recommended that the application for the proposed removal of restrictions and subdivision be supported by the relevant authorities and expeditiously approved.
