Ponsonby Road Draft Masterplan

Draft Ponsonby Road Masterplan
July 2013
Waitemat Local Board

Auckland Council
FOREWORD
We are delighted to present the draft Ponsonby Road Masterplan for public consultation and feedback. The plan represents the work of a diverse group of people passionate about one of Aucklands most celebrated destination roads. It builds on previous work done and acknowledges the people who have travelled this route in the past, fought to save Ponsonbys heritage, slowed the traffic and been part of creating the hippest strip. The plan recognises the regional significance of Ponsonby Road and our responsibility to take a development approach that results in wider benefits to all Aucklanders. We want to make sure the Masterplan meets the needs and ambitions of the community now and in the future. Bringing together a working group to develop a draft masterplan has been a unique, collaborative process supported by the Waitemat Local Board. It has been done in partnership with Man Whenua and local representatives and was only possible with the voluntary contribution of a significant amount of time from the working group. We are grateful to all the participants for their commitment and good will. The vision we are putting forward in the draft is to develop Ponsonby Road as a vibrant, well connected place for people whilst protecting, enhancing and celebrating its unique heritage, reinforcing its role as a key entertainment and boutique shopping destination and improving the natural environment. It is clear that change is needed in order to achieve this vision and for Ponsonby Road to meet its full potential. Ponsonby Road must be developed as a place for people rather than just a through-road for traffic. There are a number of exciting opportunities presented in the draft that we are looking forward to discussing with the wider community. In particular: the redevelopment potential of the Council-owned site at 254 Ponsonby Road pocket park and shared space concepts for Rose Road, Pollen Street and St Marys Bay Road outside the Leys Institute new road layout options that could provide for a continuous pedestrian experience and Aucklands first Copenhagen style lanes for cyclists a public realm and civic space that protects and interprets all the many cultural and heritage layers that make up a unique destination. We encourage you to get involved and provide your feedback on all the proposals and concepts in the plan. The draft is just the starting point of the discussion as we embark on an extensive consultation process before looking to reach a final Masterplan. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the Masterplan so far. Waitemat Local Board

OF THE DRAFT MASTERPLAN

The vision, outcomes and framework for the Plan were agreed on by the working group, however, it was recognised by the participants that there are various ways to achieve the outcomes and this has been reflected in the inclusion of concept options for discussion. Hauraki The draft was endorsed by the Waitemat Local Board for community consultation at its business meeting on 9 July 2013. It is a draft plan intended to be fully discussed and debated by the wider community over a six week consultation period from 24 July to 4 September 2013. A public meeting, community engagement sessions, and publicity about the plan will be used to inform the public and community about the draft Ponsonby Road Masterplan within the feedback period.
A working group made up of Waitemat Local Board members, the Ponsonby Business Association, community organisations, stakeholders, and Mana Whenua representatives has developed the draft Ponsonby Road Masterplan through a series of workshops over the past five months.

THE STRATEGIC CONTEXT
The Auckland Plan

Aucklands vision is to become the worlds most liveable city. As the worlds most liveable city, Auckland will be a place that has cohesive resilient communities; a productive high-value economy; quality urban, rural and natural environments and a resilient transport system. The Auckland Plan outcomes recognise both Mori and multi-cultural qualities of the area by emphasising a Mori identity as Aucklands point of difference in the world and a culturally rich and creative Auckland. The Auckland region expects an additional one million people and 400,000 new households by 2040. The Auckland Plan is a strategic regional document that provides guidance on how this growth is to be managed without overlooking the attributes and qualities we value most about Auckland.
Waitemat Local Board Plan

The Waitemat Local Board Plan sets out a vision to foster and develop vibrant, connected and sustainable communities. The following six priorities have been set to facilitate achievement of this vision for the Waitemat area: respecting and enhancing the natural environment connected, healthy transport options a distinctive, high quality built environment that embraces its heritage places for people innovative economic hub strong, vibrant, engaged communities.
The Unitary Plan

The Unitary Plan will replace the district and regional plans of the former city, district and regional councils. Prepared under the Resource Management Act 1991, the Unitary Plan will be Councils main land-use planning document. Its objective, policies and rules will help implement the Auckland Plan. The draft Unitary Plan released on 15 March 2013 sets the regulatory framework for the draft Ponsonby Road Masterplan. The Ponsonby Road Masterplan outcomes are likely to influence zoning and land use in the draft Unitary Plan.
What does the Auckland Plan mean for Ponsonby Road?

The Auckland Plan Development Strategy identifies the expected level of change and growth across Auckland over the next 30 years, and where we can expect to see that change and growth occurring (see figure 2). A key focus of the Strategy is to achieve a compact city by focussing on existing urban areas. The Auckland Plan Development Strategy shows Ponsonby Road and its surrounds largely as a least change area with some pockets of significant change along Ponsonby Road and a larger area of significant change at the Great North Road end of Ponsonby Road. The Auckland Plan identifies Ponsonby as a Town Centre within Aucklands network of metropolitan, town, local and neighbourhood centres. As an identified Town Centre, it is envisaged that Ponsonby will in the future: continue to act as a local hub for the community providing a wide range of retail and business services and facilities, and community facilities continue to be multi-modal efficient provide for a range of residential living options, including mixed-use and higher-density options, while retaining its historic character
Long Term Plan (LTP)

The Long Term Plan is Councils main budgetary tool that combines all Council and Council Controlled Organisation (CCO) funding across Auckland over a ten year period. Essentially, this plan is Auckland Councils to-do list. It implements the Auckland Plan, and includes projects and initiatives identified within the Local Board Plan. The draft Ponsonby Road Masterplan identifies projects, programmes and strategies for delivering the directions set out in the Auckland Plan, but which are also influenced by key local aspirations. These can be used to inform the Local Board Plan/Agreement and Councils yearly review of the Long Term Plan by way of the annual plan process.
THE LOCAL CONTEXT
Place
Ponsonby Road is located on the city fringe of Aucklands City Centre. The study area encompasses the 1.7km length of Ponsonby Road, which runs along a ridgeline in a northsouth direction from Jervois Road and Three Lamps at the northern end to Great North Road and Karangahape Road at the southern end.
such as Mackelvie Street, run off Ponsonby Road and provide an important supporting commercial role. Other streets, such as Lincoln and Norfolk Streets, are primarily residential in use. Western Park and Tole Reserve are the key open spaces within the study area. There are also some small public open spaces along Ponsonby Road (e.g. Anglesea Street) and adjacent to the residential areas (e.g. Brown Street Reserve). Larger open space areas beyond the study area include Grey Lynn Park, Victoria Park, Vermont Reserve and Harry Dansey Reserve. The Wynyard Quarter redevelopment of the Tank Farm will create more open space after 2023. Another key recreation space in the wider area is the Waitemat Harbour. The wider area is home to a number of schools, churches, and community facilities including Ponsonby Intermediate, Auckland Girls Grammar, the Leys Institute and Ponsonby Community Centre.
People
The Masterplan study area and surrounding suburbs is home to around 12,636 residents.1 This resident population is projected to grow to around 18,650 people by 2031.1 The resident population comprises a wide range of ethnicities including people of European, Mori, Pacific, Asian, Middle Eastern, Latin American and African decent. The Ponsonby area is home to a number of families as well as couples and single people, with just over 50 per cent of the households comprising families.1
Movement
Ponsonby Road is an important transport route providing for local connections between the western suburbs and the City Centre. Ponsonby Road is a district arterial road that typically carries traffic volumes of around 28,000 vehicles per day. The road forms a component of the Auckland Cycle Network, identified as a Cycle Connector within this network. Ponsonby Road is currently a major bus route within the Auckland Public Transport Network. It is a proposed component of the planned Frequent Transit Network (FTN), which would provide for frequent bus services along Ponsonby Road in the future. The corridor is part of the network that needs to provide for overdimension vehicles (e.g. house-moving trucks).
Heritage
Ponsonby Road has a history of pre-European use and association. The Te Rimutahi or Ponsonby ridgeline formed part of a traditional Mori transport route and walking track from Maungawhau (Mt Eden) and Te Uru Karaka (Newton Gully) to Ok and Te T, the two headland Paa sites at Pt Erin and St Marys Bay. The sites of significance to Mori within the wider area are illustrated in figure 3 and described in detail in the Mori Cultural Value report supporting this plan. The sites of significance to Mori that fall into the study area include: Waikuta - a stream which flowed down College Hill from which Mori collected kuta, a native reed used for weaving Tuna Mau - an autumn eeling camp, To Catch Eels, the stream that runs (now in pipes) through Western Park and formerly discharging into Waiatarau (Freemans Bay) Te Rimutahi - The Lone Rimu; a sacred Rimu tree was once located near the water reservoir near Artstation. Ponsonby Road also has a long history of European settlement and use, which is strongly evident in the streetscape. Historic heritage and character values in Ponsonby are recognised and managed through a number of existing and proposed tools, including scheduling in
Land Use
The study area is a key entertainment and shopping precinct serving both the local community and the wider Auckland Region. The Ponsonby/Jervois Road ridgeline provides for a mix of commercial, retail, entertainment, employment and residential activities. Commercial streets,

the District/Unitary Plan, and Historic Character Area Overlays (Business and Residential). Currently, the Ponsonby Road Masterplan study area is located within the Ponsonby Centre Plan, which includes a range of areaspecific controls, including pertaining to the protection and enhancement of historic heritage and character. Key historic heritage and character places and areas in Ponsonby are identified on Art, Culture & Heritage Actions on page 19. There is also a more recent history of Mori and Pacific use, occupation and association with Ponsonby. Attracted by low rents and close proximity to places of work, in the early 1950s, a national movement of Mori and Pacific Islanders into city centres began. Assisting newly arrived Mori and Pacific communities in Ponsonby was Betty Wark, who established and managed a number of hostels for youth and organised aid for larger community groups. In the 1970s, new central government policies on immigration saw the beginning of the dawn raids where Pacific Islanders were forcibly removed from their

homes, and ultimately, New Zealand, often based on racial profiling instead of immigration status. In response, the Polynesian Panther movement was founded in Ponsonby to raise the profile of Pacific people through political and community initiatives. The gentrification of Ponsonby began in the late 1970s when young families began to relocate to inner-city suburbs and restore the historic housing stock, driving rental prices up and leading to the displacement of many Mori and Pacific Islanders. The gentrification process was not without conflict, however despite local discontent, the transformation of the suburb was largely complete by the end of the 1980s. Key places associated with recent Mori and Pacific heritage include: Ngati Arohanui Trust St Johns Church (Centre for the Samoan Methodist Church in NZ) Ponsonby Community Centre Mori Community Centre (Freemans Bay).

PONSONBY ROAD MASTERPLAN FRAMEWORK
Land Use
Ponsonby Road is a key employment, entertainment, shopping and residential area serving both the local community and the wider Auckland Region. The approach to land use in the Masterplan is to strengthen the role of Ponsonby Road as a Town Centre within Aucklands network of metropolitan, town, local and neighbourhood centres.
Natural Environment and Open Space

Ponsonby Road is a key urban open space for the Ponsonby Community. The Masterplan seeks to improve the quality of the environment along Ponsonby Road while also providing opportunities for pedestrians to pause, sit and enjoy the surroundings and views back to the CBD and Waitkere Ranges.
Opportunities at 254 Ponsonby Road Arts, Culture and Heritage

Ponsonby Road has a rich heritage and it is a special place for many cultures and communities of people. There are different character nodes along the length of Ponsonby Road. The Masterplan focuses on the opportunities to protect and interpret the unique culture and heritage at each of the identified character nodes of Ponsonby Road. The site at 254 Ponsonby Road presents an opportunity for a redevelopment that will enhance Ponsonby Road. Several different design principles have emerged as being important components of the redevelopment of this site. The Masterplan presents design approaches that show different ways these principles can be given priority within the redevelopment of the site.
Transport and Movement

Ponsonby Road is an important transport route providing for local connections between the western suburbs and the City Centre. Ponsonby Road is a district arterial road that typically carries traffic volumes of around 28,000 vehicles per day. The Masterplan seeks to create a streetscape that results in an improved pedestrian environment, dedicated cycle lanes and slower and less vehicular traffic along Ponsonby Road.
Implementing the Masterplan

Implementation of the Ponsonby Road Masterplan will be achieved through the support of a range of key moves and stakeholders. Statutory and non-statutory tools will be used to help deliver the outcomes, actions, and projects outlined in this Masterplan.

LAND USE
Ponsonby Road is a key employment, entertainment, shopping and residential area serving both the local community and the wider Auckland Region. The approach to land use in the Masterplan is to strengthen the role of Ponsonby Road as a Town Centre within Aucklands network of metropolitan, town, local and neighbourhood centres. restrict new vehicle crossings along Ponsonby Road, creating a safer environment for pedestrians and cyclists provide for opportunities for people to live, work and play in the area and enhance the vibrancy of Ponsonby Road.
OUTCOME 1 Reinforce the role of Ponsonby as a key entertainment and boutique-shopping destination, whilst providing for a variety of housing types and a wide range of employment opportunities
What actions will support achieving this outcome?
1.1 Apply the Town Centre zone with the Key Retail Overlay to the sites on the eastern side of Ponsonby Road between Franklin Road and Pember Reeves Street Under the operative Auckland Council District Plan (Isthmus Section) the area along the eastern side of Ponsonby Road between Franklin Road and Russell Street is zoned Residential 1. The draft Unitary Plan framework retains a Single House zone with a Residential Character overlay over the Residential 1 zone. There has been support through consultation with the Working Group to apply the Town Centre Zone and the Key Retail overlay across this section of Ponsonby Road. This is to enable a wider range of employment, retail and residential activities to establish on a permitted basis and to ensure that new developments define and activate the streetscape. As this section of Ponsonby Road is subject to a Character Overlay (Residential), if the underlying zoning does change to Town Centre then this section of Ponsonby Road should also be investigated for inclusion in the Character Overlay (Business). 1.2 Apply the Town Centre zone with the Key Retail Overlay to the sites on the Northern side of Jervois Road between St Marys Road and Dedwood Street The northern side of Jervois Road between St Marys Road and Dedwood Street has also been excluded from the Town Centre zone. The Mixed Use zone, which has been applied to these sites, has very similar provisions to the Town Centre zone. However, it does not require active uses such as cafs or retail outlets on the ground floor.
Town Centre
Under the draft Unitary Plan, the Town Centre zone has been applied for most of the length of Ponsonby Road. The Town Centre zone provides for a wide range of activities including commercial, leisure, tourist, cultural, community and civic services. Residential use is permitted in this zone however, active uses such as cafes and retail outlets must be provided on the ground floor. It is proposed that Ponsonby Road will also be subject to a Business Historic Character Overlay, which enables buildings up to 12.5m high. It is proposed that new developments subject in this zone will require resource consent to ensure that the design is of a high standard and enhances the quality of the centres streets and public realm. Where the Town Centre zone has been applied to Ponsonby Road, a Key Retail overlay also applies. Key retail streets are the focal points of pedestrian activity within the centre and developments fronting these streets are expected to reinforce this function. Sites that are covered by this overlay will be subject to a new suite of rules that restrict residential use at street level, require buildings to adjoin the street for the entire length of the site, and require minimum glazing heights.
Key Benefits
The application of a consistent Town Centre zone with the Key Retail overlay along the length of Ponsonby Road will: activate the ground floor street frontages of buildings, creating a vibrant streetscape that reinforces the role of Ponsonby Road as a key entertainment and boutique shopping destination and provide for passive surveillance of the street, improving safety for pedestrians provide for a range of employment opportunities and housing choices along Ponsonby Road ensure that new developments define the street edge by requiring buildings to adjoin the street

ARTS, CULTURE AND HERITAGE

Ponsonby Road has a rich heritage and it is a special place for many cultures and communities of people. There are different character nodes along the length of Ponsonby Road. The Masterplan focuses on the opportunities to protect and interpret the unique culture and heritage at each of the identified character nodes of Ponsonby Road. Much of the Ponsonby Road Masterplan study area is also subject to the pre-1944 demolition control proposed to be introduced through the draft Unitary Plan. This control is a proposed management tool under the draft Unitary Plan that is applied to parts of Auckland with a concentration of pre-1944 developments that are not currently identified as Historic Character Areas. Any proposed demolition of a pre-1944 place within this overlay will trigger the requirement for resource consent. It is noted that this is a proposed mechanism that may change through the statutory Unitary Plan process. In the parts of the study area where a Historic Character area does not apply, the pre-1944 demolition overlay applies.
Draft Unitary Plan Heritage Protection

Within the study area, 24 places have protected heritage status and there are a number of protected trees. The places with protected heritage status will be included in the draft Unitary Plans Schedule of Historic Heritage Places. Scheduling is a higher level of regulatory control that manages change to places by restricting activities that may cause adverse effects on heritage, such as demolition, relocation and some alterations. A Historic Character (business) Overlay has been applied to much of Ponsonby Road under the draft Unitary Plan. In the Auckland Council District Plan (Isthmus Section), the same area was managed with a Centre Plan, which included provisions for heritage and historic character. The Historic Character Area Overlay has a series of objectives, policies and rules aimed at the protection and enhancement of the streetscape of Aucklands traditional town centres. This overlay identifies character-defining places and character-supporting places that have additional controls on their alteration and redevelopment. Within the Masterplan area, there are also a few areas subject to the Isthmus A overlay (former Residential 1 zone). In general, these areas are found behind the Ponsonby and Jervois Road-fronting properties. However, there are small areas of Isthmus A fronting thoroughfares such as Ponsonby Road, Jervois Road, College Hill, St Marys Road and Hopetoun Street. The Isthmus A overlay is a residential character overlay that seeks to identify, protect and enhance the physical attributes and streetscape values of Aucklands historic residential neighbourhoods. Controls in these areas relate to building coverage, setbacks, height, alterations and demolition.
Key Benefits
All existing scheduled places have had their extent of place defined and identified on a map in the draft Unitary Plan. The extent of place shows the entire geographic area in which heritage values manifest. Mapping the extent of place will provide clarity to land-owners and will also better define the heritage values of each place. The Unitary Plan framework provides stronger controls for scheduled places. The substantial demolition of a Category A place is a prohibited activity, and the demolition of a Category B place is a non-complying activity. Stronger controls will help ensure that heritage places continue to contribute to the sense of place of Ponsonby Road into the future. The draft Unitary Plan provides a consistent framework for the protection and enhancement of Historic Character Areas (Business). Under the proposed Unitary Plan, all business historic character areas are managed in the same way, guided by a Historic Character Statement which identifies the heritage and character values present in each area. The Historic Character Area Overlay will help to ensure that the historic streetscape values of Ponsonby Road will be managed and adapted appropriately.

2.1 Investigate the extension of the Business Historic Character overlay on the eastern side of Ponsonby Road between Pember Reeves Street and Franklin Road 2.2 Investigate the scheduling of the former Tuna Mau stream in Western Park in the Unitary Plan as a Mori Heritage site 2.3 Investigate opportunities to interpret the historic heritage on Ponsonby Road 2.4 Three Lamps - Develop a gateway element design to be located at Jervois Road intersection and for the College Road approach to recognise Three Lamps as the main village Three Lamps was seen historically as a key centre. This historical identity of Three Lamps can be interpreted through a gateway design. 2.5 Develop a public art/visual solution to be located on College Hill that recognises and tells the story of Waikuta
The Waikuta Stream flowed down College Hill discharging into the bay. Kuta is a native reed used for weaving that grew in the waters around Waiatarau (Freemans Bay). Consultation with Mana Whenua has indicated that there is a desire for this story to be told through a public artwork or visual solution at the top of College Hill. 2.6 Name the area of St Marys Road outside the Leys Institute Library Waikuta One of the concepts in this Masterplan is to incorporate a shared space outside the former post office and Leys Institute on St Marys Road. This shared space is at the head of the Waikuta stream that once flowed down College Hill. Consultation with Mana Whenua has indicated a desire to see the name of this stream brought alive through using this as the name for the proposed shared space. 2.7 Franklin Road Junction - Develop a public art/visual gallery solution to be located at the top of Franklin Road Franklin Road has a historic (and current) entry and exit role to Ponsonby Road. The sense of arrival and exit could be highlighted by a public art/visual identity solution at the junction facing Franklin Road. 2.8 Vandaleur Road (Three Lamps to Franklin Road) Interpret Ponsonby Roads more recent history role as a home to distinctive urban populations through a public artwork expressing a shared, social, collective, community heritage and future
Segment 3
Three Lamps to Franklin Road was once known as Vandaleur Road. This segment of Ponsonby Road is less defined and has the least developed sense of hub. An artwork that interprets Ponsonby Roads more recent history could energise this segment of Ponsonby Road.

TRANSPORT AND MOVEMENT

The Ponsonby Road corridor is around 1.7km in length with a width range of around 27m (boundary to boundary). Ponsonby Road intersects with 31 side streets. Ponsonby Road provides for a large volume of local and through traffic, on average 28,000 vehicles per day. Much of the traffic using Ponsonby Road in peak hours is travelling between the western suburbs and the City Centre. A proportion of traffic is also heading to Hobson Street to access State Highway 1 (SH1) southbound or Curran Street or Wellington Street to access SH1 northbound. The speed limit along the whole length of Ponsonby Road is 40km/h. The implementation of this speed limit was justified by the high pedestrian activity in the commercial areas and observations that the operating traffic speed was already low. The Auckland Cycle Network Plan 2030 has designated Ponsonby Road as a cycle connector. It is also currently a major bus route and forms part of the Regional Public Transport Network with planned frequent bus services being on the Frequent Transit Network - FTN. The bus volumes do not currently justify dedicated bus lanes but this would be revisited if services increase in the future. Auckland Transport is currently developing a residential parking policy based on the research from the St Marys Bay resident parking zone trial. Consultation on the policy is planned for October. If approved, Freemans Bay will be the next suburb to be considered for resident parking zone restrictions. A residential parking zone in the streets adjacent to Ponsonby Road will reduce the amount of all-day parking, freeing up parking for residents and short term visitors. The Working Group has indicated a strong preference for a streetscape that results in an improved pedestrian environment, dedicated cycle lanes, and slower and less vehicular traffic along Ponsonby Road. 3.2 Confirm principles with the community for the allocation of space to different modes of transport from Three Lamps to Franklin Road 3.3 Confirm principles with the community for the allocation of space to different modes of transport from Franklin Road to Great North Road The Working Group has identified different design principles that could be important components of any future upgrade to the Ponsonby Road corridor. -- Pedestrian Amenity and Safety: allocating space in the corridor for pedestrians to cross the road safely away from the formal pedestrian crossings -- Threshold Treatments: continuous footpaths across side streets (raised tables), which give priority to pedestrians -- Carparking: allocating space in the corridor for carparking to service businesses -- Cyclist Safety: allocating space in the corridor to cyclists so that they can travel safely -- Copenhagen Lanes: a Copenhagen lane arrangement consists of a raised surface for cyclists rather than just painted lane. Copenhagen cycle lanes can go between the parked cars and footpath where appropriate to protect cyclists from the moving traffic. There are three segments of the Ponsonby Road corridor with different traffic issues. Accordingly, each segment warrants a different design approach. -- Three Lamps: this segment has one-way southbound vehicle traffic (northbound traffic is diverted around Redmond Street). This arrangement reduces legibility and causes complexities for bus operations. Three concepts are put forward to improve legibility and the public realm in this segment. -- Three Lamps to Franklin Road: this segment has two northbound and southbound traffic lanes. There is an opportunity to continue the single southbound lane. Two concepts are put forward to illustrate different ways space could be allocated in this segment. -- Franklin Road to Great North Road: this segment has two northbound and southbound traffic lanes. Three concepts are put forward to illustrate different ways space could be allocated in this segment.

Three Lamps
Three Lamps is a southbound one-way segment of Ponsonby Road. The speed limit is 40km/h. Northbound traffic is diverted around Redmond Street. This arrangement reduces legibility to users of this section of Ponsonby Road and causes complexities for bus operations within this area, with bus stops not closely aligned. There are 36 on street carparks in Three Lamps, with angled parking on the eastern side of the street and parallel parking on the western side of the street. Three Lamps is one of the best serviced areas along Ponsonby Road in terms of parking as there are three Council carparks (Redmond Street, Pompalier Terrace and Margaret Street). There are currently no dedicated cycle lanes in Three Lamps. The following concepts are examples that illustrate different ways that the legibility of Three Lamps could be improved. Segment 1
One-way for both Ponsonby Road and Redmond Street
Concept A - Introduce cycle lanes at Three Lamps

This concept illustrates how a northbound cycle facility could be incorporated into the current configuration of Three Lamps. Cycling could be provided in one direction either with a contra flow cycle lane or in two directions through a two-way Copenhagen lane on the western side of Ponsonby Road. Advantages: dedicated cycle lanes no decrease in on-street carparking the raised Copenhagen lanes encourage lower vehicular speeds than painted cycle lanes Disadvantages: one-way southbound traffic lane reduces legibility within the urban environment conterflow cycle lanes may feel unsafe for cyclists contraflow cycle lanes may create confusion for pedestrians crossing the road

This concept illustrates how the legibility of Three Lamps could be improved for the users of Three Lamps through introducing a northbound traffic lane along Ponsonby Road and keeping Redmond Street one way. This concept would require a signalised intersection at Redmond Street and Ponsonby Road to provide for safe traffic operations and pedestrian crossings. Advantages: two-waying of Ponsonby Road (through Three Lamps) increases legibility of the urban environment no decrease in on-street carparking increase in the width of footpath on the eastern side of Ponsonby Road Disadvantages: no dedicated cycle lanes possible conflicts in manoeuvring space Segment 1
Concept C - Two-way Ponsonby Road with cycle lanes and parallel parking on both sides of Ponsonby Road
This concept illustrates how the legibility of Three Lamps could be improved for the users by introducing a northbound traffic lane along Ponsonby Road and keeping Redmond Street one way. This concept would require a signalised intersection at Redmond Street and Ponsonby Road to provide for safe traffic operations and pedestrian crossings. This concept also illustrates how dedicated cycle lanes can be incorporated if the angled parking on the eastern side of Ponsonby Road is converted to parallel parking.

Three Lamps to Franklin Road

The Ponsonby Road corridor from Three Lamps to Franklin Road currently has two northbound and two southbound traffic lanes. There is a flush median and on-street carparking on each side of the corridor. As the southbound traffic utilising this segment of the road is not as heavy as on other parts of the corridor, there is an opportunity to continue the single lane from Three Lamps further to Franklin Road before where it becomes two lanes. The following concepts are examples that illustrate different ways that space within the Three Lamps to Franklin Road segment of the Ponsonby Road corridor can be allocated to accommodate and prioritise different modes of traffic.

Concept A - Retain on-street carparking along both sides of Ponsonby Road

This concept incorporates a raised median with regular level sections to accommodate people crossing with prams and in wheelchairs. There is the opportunity to continue the single traffic lane further towards Franklin Road before it becomes two lanes. There is kerbside parking along both sides of the street and a dedicated northbound cycle lane. There is an aspiration from the Working Group for the northbound cycle lane to be in a Copenhagen lane arrangement. Advantages: raised medium provides pedestrians with a safe refuge when crossing the road away from a formal pedestrian crossing on-street carparking along each side of the corridor dedicated north bound cycle lane

Franklin Road to Great North Road

The Ponsonby Road corridor from Franklin Road to Great North Road currently has two northbound and two southbound traffic lanes. There is a flush median and on street carparking on each side of the corridor. As this section of the Ponsonby Road corridor typically carries traffic volumes of around 28,000 vehicles per day, four lanes of traffic are required to cater for vehicle movements between Franklin Road and Great North Road. The following concepts are examples that illustrate different ways in which space within the Franklin Road to Great North Road segment of the Ponsonby Road corridor can be allocated to accommodate and prioritise the transport design principles. Existing
Concept A - Allocating space in the corridor for wider raised medians to allow pedestrians to cross Ponsonby Road more safely
Consultation to date with the working group has indicated that pedestrians like to be able to cross Ponsonby Road at any point, and not be confined to formal pedestrian crossings. Concept 1 responds to this preference through incorporating a 2.2m wide raised median with regular level sections to accommodate people crossing with prams and in wheelchairs. There is kerbside parking along the western side of the street and a dedicated cycle lane down the southbound side of the corridor next to the kerb. Advantages: the raised median provides pedestrians with a safe refuge when crossing the road away from a formal pedestrian crossing dedicated southbound cycle lane located next to the kerb to reduce the conflict with opening doors of parked cars

Concept B - Dedicated cycle lanes in both directions along Ponsonby Road

Concept 2 incorporates dedicated cycle lanes along both sides of the corridor. The southbound cycle lane is next to the kerb, to reduce the risks from cyclists swerving into traffic or being knocked off by opening car doors. The northbound cycling lane could consist of a cycle lane between the kerbside carparking and the traffic lane or as a Copenhagen arrangement. Advantages: dedicated cycle lanes on each side of the corridor locating the cycle lane next to the kerb will reduce the risks from cyclists swerving into traffic or being knocked off by opening car doors Disdvantages: reduced carparking only a very narrow median for pedestrians to utilise when crossing and will not accommodate prams
Concept C - Carparking and cycle lanes on each side of Ponsonby Road

Concept 3 incorporates four lanes of traffic through a clearway arrangement. During the peak traffic times, the southbound kerbside parking will act as the fourth traffic lane and for the rest of the day it will be available for carparking. There will be dedicated cycle lanes down both sides of the corridor. The northbound cycling lane could consist of a cycle lane between the kerbside carparking and the traffic lane or as a Copenhagen arrangement. The southbound cycle lane will be next to the kerbside parking during off peak times, and at peak times it will move to the kerbside. This will be reflected in the road markings. This concept incorporates a narrower level median for pedestrians to utilise when crossing. Advantages: dedicated cycle lanes on each side of the corridor carparking provided on each side of the corridor Disadvantages:

NATURAL ENVIRONMENT AND OPEN SPACE

This section focuses on the desired natural environment and open space outcomes for Ponsonby Road and what it will take to achieve those outcomes. The deciduous exotic plane trees of the Ponsonby area drop their leaves in autumn and winter. Whilst this has benefits for allowing additional sunlight through to the street in the colder months, it puts stress on storm water infrastructure increasing the chance of surface flooding and adding significant costs due to street and drain cleaning. Like most of the inner city, the Ponsonby Road area no longer has viable fresh water springs and streams. The remnant of the Tuna Mau stream can still be seen today during heavy rains though it is mostly piped now all the way to the Waitemat Harbour. Consultation with Mana Whenua representatives has favored streetscape design that promotes biodiversity and increases the quality of runoff water into the Waitemat. Mori have a cultural duty to protect the realm of Tane the God of Forests that is expressed through the principle of kaitiakitanga. For urban Iwi native trees and vegetation are markers of identity.
Ponsonbys Open Space

Ponsonby Road is a key urban open space for the Ponsonby Community. The Working Group has expressed concern over the current environment of this streetscape for people who use Ponsonby Road. In particular, the footpath quality and lack of opportunities for pedestrians to pause, sit and enjoy the surroundings and views back to the CBD and Waitkere Ranges.
Ponsonbys Natural Environment

Ponsonby Road is a busy main street. It is currently dotted with London Plane trees as well as other native and exotic trees. There are mature trees on some of the properties which front Ponsonby Road that provide amenity to the urban realm of Ponsonby Road. Some notable examples include the Pohutukawa trees at All Saints Church at 284 Ponsonby Road.

OUTCOME 4 Contribute to the achievement of regionwide improvements to the natural environment

4.1 Adopting a streetscape design that incorporates best practise low impact stormwater/ run off water treatment techniques 4.2 Adopting a streetscape design that promotes biodiversity 4.3 Confirm the tree planting principles for Ponsonby Road with the community The following principles have been developed in consultation with the Working Group and Mana Whenua representatives to guide future tree planting along Ponsonby Road in the future: -- Corridor: the footpath should allow for the maintenance and/or establishment of suitable sized specimen trees at regular intervals along its length -- Nodes: new open spaces and micro spaces should ensure provision of adequate space for successful establishment of suitably sized specimen trees -- Criteria: indigenous tree species shall be used in preference to exotic species unless they dont meet the Tree Selection Criteria. 4.4 Confirm the tree selection criteria for Ponsonby Road with the community
The following tree selection criteria (in order of importance) have been developed in consultation with the Working Group and Mana Whenua representatives to guide future tree planting along Ponsonby Road in the future: -- robust street performer (tolerant of urban conditions - drought, poor soils, pollution, exposure etc) -- suitable scale and form for the street -- potential for structural damage to kerbs, surfaces and buildings -- maintenance of views of heritage buildings (e.g. open or columnar form, or deciduous) -- ability to have clear single trunk -- aesthetics (attractive form, foliage, flower or seasonal interest) -- longevity -- suitable growth rate -- degree of maintenance requirements -- heritage connections -- winter solar access -- habitat values.

5.1 Provide micro open spaces on and close to Ponsonby Road for people to sit and enjoy the views from the ridgeline 5.2 Improve the appearance of the Watercare Reservoir from Ponsonby Road The Watercare Reservoir is an important component of the water supply infrastructure in central Auckland, however, visually it detracts from the Ponsonby Road streetscape. In recent years, temporary murals have improved the visual appearance of the reservoir. The close proximity of the reservoir to Artstation and Ponsonby Roads long association with the art community are inspiration to improve the external appearance of the reservoir. b) Street Art These two concepts show how the appearance of the reservoir could be improved through street art or as an outdoor exhibition space for Artstation.

There has been a strong desire through the consultation with the Working Group and Mana Whenua representatives that the approach to the design of streetscape furniture should reflect the different identities of Ponsonby Road.
OUTCOME 6 Develop Ponsonby Road as a vibrant street that balances the needs of users
6.1 High quality footpaths with a paving design that reflects the heritage and identity of Ponsonby Road The following concepts provide examples that illustrate how the footpaths could be improved, and reflect the heritage and identity of Ponsonby Road.
Concept A
This paving concept has been influenced by the local heritage. The feature paving design reflects the architecture and rich Polynesian history of the area, combining a stylised interpretation of Polynesian designs with tile patterns from Victorian and Edwardian period buildings. The kerbing proposed is the traditional style of hand cut basalt. Kerbside parking areas incorporate tree planting pits in rain gardens with permeable pavers to assist in the management of stormwater.
Concept A
Concept B
This paving concept has been influenced by the local heritage. The feature paving design reflects the architecture and the rich Polynesian history of the area, combining a Polynesian motif with tile patterns from Victorian period buildings. The kerbing proposed is the traditional style of hand cut basalt. Kerbside parking areas incorporate tree planting pits in rain gardens with permeable pavers to assist in the management of stormwater. The permeable pavers are made from McCullums Chip concrete, which was used extensively in the past for the distinctive red footpaths, which were once found throughout the area.
Concept B
OPPORTUNITIES AT 254 PONSONBY ROAD

The Ponsonby area is characterised by a high urban density of residences, which have a low provision of private open space. Ponsonby has neighbourhood reserves, which are primarily at the rear of properties with limited street frontage. The reserves provide green, pleasant spaces for the community and typically hold a playground. The close proximity of residential neighbours limits their potential for events and community gatherings. A study looking at the provision of open space in Ponsonby in 2000 recommended that a civic space should be created close to Pember Reeves Street that was urbane in character to provide a meeting place and a rest spot adjacent to the activity to the street. In 2006, Council purchased the site at 254 Ponsonby Road to provide an urban square in the heart of the Ponsonby business area for community gathering and events. The purchase of this site was to be off-set by a sensible development of the rear portion of the site. The site is 2,347m2 and comprises a split in zoning with a business zone applying to the Eastern portion of the site fronting Ponsonby Road and the Residential 1 zone applying to the Western portion of the site. The proposed zoning under the Unitary Plan (March Draft) follows this pattern with the Eastern Portion of the site fronting Ponsonby Road to be included in the Town Centre zone and the western portion of the site is proposed to be Single House zone.
Key Benefits
The site at 254 Ponsonby Road provides a number of key advantages for the development of a civic square including: two street frontages with good exposure on Ponsonby Road the site is of a reasonably flat contour it is currently occupied by one large building that does not have heritage significance.
OUTCOME 7 Reinforce the role of Ponsonby as a key entertainment and boutique-shopping destination, whilst providing for a variety of housing types and a wide range of employment opportunities
What actions will support achieving this Outcome?
7.1 Confirm design principles with the community for the redevelopment of the site at 254 Ponsonby Road Through the consultation with the Working Group, several different design principles have emerged as being important components of the redevelopment of this site. -- Open Space: developing the site so that it incorporates space for the community to gather and recreate -- Active Edges: developing the site so that the public open space is defined by active uses such as cafes and retail outlets
-- Retail Continuity: developing the site so that it does not create gaps in the continuity of retail that reduce the viability of Ponsonby Road -- Safety: developing the site so that it limits opportunity for crime through maximising passive surveillance -- Cost to council: developing the site in a way that generates revenue that can be used to offset the cost of developing the community open space -- Public Art: developing the site so that there are opportunities to incorporate public art in the design of open space. The following design approaches show different ways that these principles can be prioritised in the development of this site.
DESIGN APPROACH 1 Redeveloping the site in a way that brings activity and natural surveillance to Ponsonby Road, whilst providing a meeting place and a rest spot adjacent to the street that are urban in character
The following concepts provide examples that illustrate this design approach.
Concept A - Intimate urban square

This concept creates an intimate urban square on the eastern portion of the site fronting Ponsonby Road to act as a focal point for the community on the corridor. There is a commercial development to the rear of the square. The western portion of the site subject to the residential zoning will be developed as terraced houses in keeping with the residential use of ONeil Street. This will require a change in zoning of this section of the site from Single House zone to Terraces and Apartment zone. Advantages: activate the square by incorporating retail activities and cafs on the ground floor retail activities are setback at a viable distance from Ponsonby Road the upper floors of the commercial development will provide passive surveillance of the public space and streetscape the mixed use redevelopment will generate a high gain to council that can be invested into the development of open space an opportunity for a small scale artwork e.g. feature paving Disadvantages: a small open space (around 372m) with little amenity as a public open space will not provide for a variety of open space uses will not provide for a childrens play space
3D BLOCK MODEL
Concept B - Combined urban and green space LEGEND Avondale Racecourse This concept creates an L-shape open space on the eastern Retail shops portion of the site fronting Ponsonby Road and ONeil Commercial Street. A glazed kiosk that contains a caf will define the Residential corner of Ponsonby Road and ONeil Street. The rear Greenportion public open space western subject to the residential zoning will be developed as three terraced Paved public open space houses in keeping with the residential use of ONeil Street. This will require a change Servicing area in zoning of this section of the site from Single House zone Existing buildings to Terraces and Apartment zone.
Advantages: activate the square by incorporating retail activities and cafs on the ground floor of the commercial development address the continuity of retail along Ponsonby Road through the incorporation of the glazed kiosk the upper floors of the commercial development and the glazed kiosk will provide passive surveillance of the public space and streetscape the mixed use redevelopment will generate a moderate gain to council that can be invested into the development of open space opportunities to incorporate artwork in the open space and glazed building design opportunities to incorporate a small scale childrens play space create an urban space along Ponsonby Road and a green open space on ONeil Street a flexible open space which can offer a variety of uses Disadvantages: a medium sized open space (around 606m) the glazed building on the corner may obscure surveillance of the open space from Ponsonby Road
DESIGN APPROACH 2 Redeveloping the site in a way that achieves a community gathering space on Ponsonby Road which can be utilised for community events
The following concept illustrates this design approach.
Concept C - Open space with residential only

The concept consists of a focal community gathering space on Ponsonby Road which can be utilised for community events and provide an informal leisure space. The rear Western portion of the site will be developed as three terraced houses in keeping with the residential use of ONeil Street. This will require a change in zoning of this section of the site from Single House zone to Terraces and Apartment zone Advantages: a larger open space that can be utlised for a variety of open space use and can provide for events (around 1077m) the residential development to the south may provide some passive surveillance of the public space this development will generate a moderate cost to council provide a variety of opportunities to incorporate artwork provide space for a small scale childrens play space
Disadvantages: the open space will not be defined by active retail edges the open space will result in a setback that disrupts the continuity of retail activities along Ponsonby Road

Concept D Maximised open space

Servicing area The concept consists of an open space that can be utilised Existing buildings for community recreation, community events and as an informal leisure space on Ponsonby Road.
Paved public open space
Advantages: a large open space that can be utilised for events and a variety of open space activities and casual recreation (around 2347m) provide a variety of opportunities to incorporate artwork provide space for a small scale childrens play space Disadvantages: the open space will not be defined by active retail edges the open space will result in a setback that disrupts the continuity of retail along Ponsonby Road the long rectangular open space will have limited passive surveillance from the surrounding properties the costs of developing the site as complete open space cannot be offset by residential or commercial development. Therefore this design approach will require additional funding which it will have to compete with other unbudgeted actions within this Masterplan and will generate a high cost to council
IMPLEMENTING THE MASTERPLAN

Implementation of the Ponsonby Road Masterplan will be achieved through the support of a range of key moves, tools (outlined below) and stakeholders. In particular, the statutory and non-statutory tools described below will be used to help deliver the outcomes, actions, and projects outlined in this Masterplan. The Ponsonby Road Masterplan identifies a 30-year vision for Ponsonby Road. Actions to achieve the Masterplan vision are set out in Appendix A: Implementation Strategy. This is an indicative draft outlining possible actions. The final implementation strategy will set out short, medium and long-term actions. In addition to this, more immediate quick wins will be identified. These actions provide a starting point for change along Ponsonby Road. They are generally considered to be low risk/low cost proposals that could be implemented quickly and provide recognisable benefits.
Long-Term Plan and Annual Plan

The Long-Term Plan (LTP) is Councils main budgetary tool that combines all Council and Council Controlled Organisation (CCO) funding across Auckland over a tenyear period. This Masterplan will inform the LTP review cycle as well as identifying unfunded projects that may bid for funding priority in the next LTP. This Masterplan will also inform the Council and Waitemat Local Boards Annual Plan review process.
Local Board Plans

The Waitemat Local Board Plan provides community level vision and the priorities and projects for the Waitemat Local Board area. The Waitemat Local Board Plan has played a key role in helping to define this Masterplans priorities, projects and community aspirations. Local Board Plans are reviewed every three years and future plans will in turn be informed by this Masterplan. If desired, spatial features and projects outlined in this Masterplan can be included in future local board plans.
The Unitary Plan

The Unitary Plan will replace the district and regional plans of the former city, district and regional councils. Prepared under the Resource Management Act 1991. The Unitary Plan will be the Councils main land-use planning document. Minor amendments to the zoning framework for Ponsonby Road are suggested in order to achieve the Masterplan vision.
