Therefore, the intent of the Sport and Recreation Zone for providing for sporting needs will not be compromised by the proposed development. Further, the proposal will not compromise existing clubhouse or supporting facilities associated with the IGC. The proposal therefore does not compromise the overall outcomes of the Sport and Recreation Zone”.
