Winston Peters accused of 'race-baiting' attack on Chinese air crew

Image
New Zealand First leader Winston Peters is being accused of "race-baiting" over an attack on Chinese airline crew moving into a former special housing area that was designed to help solve Auckland's housing crisis . In a statement headed " Mt Albert state housing land now in Chinese hands", Peters said some of the former Housing NZ land at 98-130 Haverstock Rd in Sandringham "went to China Southern Airlines people from China and not to ease the housing shortage for Auckland residents". He attached a photo showing a banner in front of a house saying in Chinese and English: "Warmly welcome the leadership from Aviation Services Department to China Southern Airlines Crew Apartment in Auckland, New Zealand." The property was given Special Housing Area status in May 2014, with a requirement 10 per cent of homes must be "affordable. These areas were disestablished when the new Auckland Unitary Plan came into force last Septe...

Los Alamos bungalow resort hotel killed by county's ag buffer, developer says | Local News

One of the developers who wanted to build a multimillion- dollar bungalow - style resort hotel in Los Alamos said the project has been killed by the agricultural buffer required by the Santa Barbara County Planning and Development Department. Thomas and Matthew Ryan hoped to construct a hotel consisting of 44 bungalows and a main reception and registration building on a 2.1- acre site located at the west end of Bell Street behind the Welcome to Los Alamos sign . Thomas Ryan said he wasn’t building the hotel as a moneymaking project but as a business he and Matthew could retire to that would improve the community and economy of Los Alamos. When it was introduced to the community at a Los Alamos Planning Advisory Committee meeting , the reaction was generally favorable, although residents wanted a few changes and requests the Ryans were willing to meet, including giving residents a “membership” allowing them to use the pool and related facilities for free. But Thomas Ryan said the...

Plano residents give input to planning commission | News

Red was not the color of choice Tuesday night at Plano Elementary School . The crimson hue was the color of the sticker representing multi - family residential development in an exercise City- County Planning Commission Executive Director Ben Peterson cooked up to help the 60 or so residents of the Plano community at a public meeting to give input into the future of the Plano Road corridor . Longtime Plano resident Tim Denton summed up the feelings of many in the crowd when he stood up mid-meeting and proclaimed: “I’m adamantly opposed to any multi-family developments in the Plano area.” Denton’s pronouncement prompted the type of raucous applause you might expect from fans at a Hilltopper football game . It was obvious during Peterson’s presentation and the stickers-on-a-map exercise that followed that the locals were seeing red at the very mention of apartment complexes or any other type of high- density development along the Plano Road corridor from Scottsville Road to Ky. 24...

200+ unit condominium development in Kalamazoo requires rezoning

KALAMAZOO, MI -- Walden Woods condominiums could expand by 200 units in the Arcadia neighborhood . In order to complete the project, the city of Kalamazoo will need to rezone 10.1-acres at 565 S. Drake to a residential, single-dwelling district. Thursday, the Planning Commission recommended the City Commission approve rezone the land, which will contain 40-60 owner- occupied units . The wooded and undeveloped property was formerly part of a Drake's Pond Apartments project approved by the City Commission in 1987. A total of 497 units in 35 buildings was constructed on 36 acres of land, but the owners of the apartment complex sold the remaining property to American Village Development II , LLC. American Village Development built the Walden Woods condominium project to the east of the property. An expansion of the condominiums requires the portion of land bought from Drake's Pond Apartments to be rezoned.  In total, AVD plans to build 215-230 units. Jack Gesmundo, an AVD ...

(Photo: Chris Caldwell / The Spectrum & Daily News) Buy Photo Suspended high above St. George’s urban center,  hiding in plain sight atop a mesa, is some of highest-value real estate in one of the county’s fastest-growing cities. For the better part of seven years, it mostly lay empty. The “ Ridgetop Complex ,” as it has formally been known since 2011 when the city relocated its airport, stretches for more than a mile north-to-south, carrying 155 acres of developable flat land with unencumbered viewscapes along the land that once carried the runway. Once pegged for pricey cliffside homes , schools, shops and all the trappings of a premium mixed-use neighborhood, it has instead been limited in recent years to the occasional hobby race , concert or other event that requires a large open space . It’s sometimes used by law...

Media playback is unsupported on your device Media caption What has been achieved in 30 years of redevelopment in Cardiff Bay? Future development of Cardiff Bay needs a more coordinated approach to ensure its success, the man behind its reinvention 30 years ago has said. Lord Crickhowell has hailed the overall regeneration of the former derelict docklands as a major success. But he is fiercely opposed to the latest plans to redevelop land for flats, including a 24-story building. Three decades after he sparked plans for one of the biggest overhauls the city has seen, what has been achieved? Image caption Cardiff Bay waterfront in 1977 - derelict before regeneration Once the epicentre of Wales' booming coal and export industries, by the 1980s, Cardiff Bay had become an abandoned wasteland of derelict docks and mudflats. A victim of a dramatic fall in trade following World War Two and competition from other ports saw its decline and a plan was put in place to bring it back to lif...
