2. Project Motivation

• Mixed Use : • 40% Affordable Housing, 40% Open Market Residential ,

20% Commercial, retail opportunities & social services• Minimise residents commuting to work

• Affordable housing :• Provides key workers a hand up not a hand out !

• Social Housing Institute (SHI) to manage rental stock –

excellent record in rental collections (>90%) & eviction of

non-paying tenants; run workshops with new tenants;

codes of conduct strictly applied

• Likely Rollout Scenario:• First residents to take up occupation from 2020 onwards.

Development in phases, over 5-7 years

• Higher Densities:

• Provides a business case for public transport• Supports the case for new services (improved

infrastructure, trains, police presence , health care,

education)


2. Project MotivationHigher Densities cont.

IGC

• Traffic and Odin Road Extension

• A particular concern of residents

• Road reserve was reserved in 1994 – a dual carriage way

reservation originally

• The Conradie Development Concept design for Odin Road

includes a single carriage way

• Options to effectively restrict heavy duty vehicles after the

extension are being developed

• Project team willing to support residents in engaging with the City

on the matter further

• More detail below

6. Key Issues Safety & Security

IGC

Current undeveloped Site Risks:

Land invasions

Degradation of state land

Negative environment

lending itself to more crime

Developer will provide a Safety &

Security Management Plan for

approval and monitoring.

The safety and security of our communities is important - more

people may place a strain on existing resources

Manned & electronic

surveillance. Controlled

community precinct (not

gated)

Cohesive Security

Engagement:

- SAPS/ MEC

- Local security firms

- CPF

- Neighbourhood

Watch

MEC Community Safety

& SAPS have engaged

with a view to

establishing a police

station within the

Gateway precinct


6. Key IssuesTraffic & Transport

Existing road networks throughout the metro are constrained, which is why

resources are being dedicated to the improvement of the network & public

transport services

• The Development Framework requires reduced private vehicle parking in

favour of public transport (1, 900 bays vs 2, 700 bays)

• No private parking will be allocated to residential or other uses & available

parking will be leased and or shared (paid) only.

• Road use constraints to be considered by CCT re: heavy duty vehicle

usage & minor roads closures preventing rat-running

• NMT (non-motorised transport) upgrades within and external to the

development are mandatory, linking the development with local rail

stations and business nodes

• Upgrade of local intersections (additional lanes & signalization) on Forest

Drive Ext & extension of Odin Drive up to Voortrekker road will improve local

area network constraints.


6. Key IssuesTraffic & Transport

IGC

Interim bus feeder services

& future MyCiti rollout

Forest Drive & Odin Rd

Extensions for phase 1

PRASA & Metrorail upgrades to

rail stations including Mutual &

Thornton stations, coinciding

with new train set delivery

PRASA confirms that the first

new train sets are expected to

be rolled-out by 2018/19,

prioritizing the Central Line

from Khayelitsha / Mitchells

Plain to Cape Town that stops

at Mutual Station

TCT are planning wider area

network upgrades [Jan Smuts and Jakes Gerwel Drive,

Viking Way and Sipres/Odin Rd

intersections by 2020/21]


6. Key Issues Densification

IGC

Density of the proposed development exceeds densities of neighbouring

areas with valid reason

• Cape Town is one of the most inefficient cities in the world spatially and

in terms of optimised use of utilities such as roads and service

infrastructure per capita (increases tax payer burden)

• It is the policy of CCT to encourage densification but in particular in

those corridors that are well-served by fixed-route, regular & reliable

public transport such as the Metrorail, MyCiti and Golden Arrow services

• The Conradie site falls within the confluence of both CCT primary Transit

Oriented Development (TOD) corridors being the Voortrekker Rd and

Southern Corridor (Klipfontein and Govan Mbeki Rds) and include the

Mutual and Thornton rail stations within an 800m proximity of the site.

• Studies have proven that development densities not exceeding 75 d.u

per hectare do not render public transport systems economically

sustainable (increase tax payer burden)

5. Concept Overview & ImpactDevelopment Impact Assessments

IGC

Type Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3

Water

• Tie into existing water supply on Odin, Thor or Forest Drive Extension

depending on location of Phase

Visual

• Impact determined as medium for cemeteries and surrounding areas

and limited for other areas (which do not face site)

• Sympathetic design, retention of trees and implementation of mitigation

Annexure: Odin/Aerodrome Road Extension

IGC

The City of Cape identified the Aerodrome Road Extension as a future north-south network link

between Viking Way and the proposed Frans Conradie Road Extension in the mid-1990’s.



IGC

3 conceptual alternative alignments were investigated by GIBB in 2007 as

part of the proposed Central Park Development of the Conradie site.

Primary constraint:

grave locations

Future development

constraint: dividing

the Wingfield site



IGC

• Conceptual Alignment Option 3 was

approved by the City and the link is

contained as a Class 3 arterial route

on the current Public Right of Way

Road Network Map, dated August

2013.

• A road reserve was not registered.

• The Class 4 route traversing the

Conradie site between Odin Road

Extension and Forest Drive Extension

is also included in the network map.

Odin/Aerodrome Rd

Class 3

Conradie link:

Class 4



IGC

• GIBB undertook a revision of the 2007 conceptual design.

• The draft report has been submitted to the City.

• The conceptual cross-section along the cemeteries is shown below
