According to the recommendation, the site is to be disposed for medium-density mixed-use development with a requirement for a component of any future development on the site to become affordable or GAP housing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was further recommended that any gain or loss incurred by the municipality in respect of the transfer of the asset be included in the municipality\u2019s adjustment budget. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe site is undeveloped, currently zoned General Residential (Subzone 4), which permits higher forms of residential densification and certain non-residential uses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The property can be utilised more effectively by disposing it to the private sector for development in line with the land-use rights assigned to this property,\u201d Diamond added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the 33 objectors was the then councillor Sakkie Pretorius, now retired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The concerns of the objectors are summarised as follows in the report: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The sale of the property would deprive surrounding residents of an open space and pond (the duck pond), currently being used extensively for recreational purposes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The development of the property would exacerbate traffic congestion in the area and place further demands on the surrounding road network.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>One objector had previously been part of a consortium involved in negotiations with the City to purchase the property in order to develop a hotel. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Negotiations had been terminated with them, as they had failed to provide a guarantee to the satisfaction of the City. The objector was demanding the City to grant him a right of first refusal on the sale.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In response, the City\u2019s property management department stated the following: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Since the establishment of townships, it has always been the City\u2019s intention to develop the property in terms of its current zoning. The Plattekloof neighbourhood has an abundance of open space and natural areas, and \u201cthe duck pond\u201d is actually on the neighbouring Erf 20908, which is zoned public open space; residents will therefore still have access to the pond and 25\u2009000 square metres of surrounding open space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Traffic Services Department conducted a site inspection of the area and recommended that a Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) be conducted due to the large size of the erf. However, such a TIA will only be required once a site development plan has been submitted by the future owner of the property.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The City obtained a legal opinion at the time of the termination of negotiations with the \u201chotel consortium\u201d \u2013 it was determined that there were no grounds for the consortium being entitled to a right of first refusal on the sale of the property.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In a second legal opinion obtained in 2016, the City was advised that there was no basis for the claim. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDevelopers will only be able to bid for the property once the City of Cape Town releases the property to the market via an auction or tender process,\u201d Diamond said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you think the land should be sold?
