Core Planning Reasoning
The proposed development is considered to be in accordance with the 'A' zoning objective of the area, respects the existing pattern of development, and would not seriously injure the residential or visual amenities of the area or create a traffic hazard.
Decision Maker's Conclusion

- The use of a previously permitted vehicular access point will not result in an intensification of traffic that would constitute a safety hazard.
