Suwon City Changes Gyeonggi Broadcasting Site from 'Neighborhood Commercial Facility' to 'Broadcasting and Telecommunications Facility'

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Suwon City announced on the 3rd that it will change the permitted use of the Gyeonggi Broadcasting site (961-17, Yeongdeungpo-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu) from 'neighborhood commercial facility land' to 'broadcasting and telecommunications facility land'.

The city will hold a public notice for comments and inspection of the 'Yeongdeungpo District Unit Plan Decision (Amendment)' from the 6th to the 20th.

Related documents can be inspected at the City's Urban Planning Division, and opinions can be submitted.

The site is owned by Gyeonggi Broadcasting and was originally designated as broadcasting and telecommunications facility land under the Yeongdeungpo District Unit Plan. In 2013, the permitted use was relaxed to allow for Class 1 and 2 neighborhood living, business, commercial, and sports facilities, and was changed to neighborhood commercial facility land.

Following Gyeonggi Broadcasting's application for business closure (on the 16th of last month), the site is being changed back to broadcasting and telecommunications facility land.

A city official said, "While we relaxed permitted uses for efficient operation of the broadcasting and telecommunications facility, if broadcasting operations are not conducted due to the closure, it would not align with the intent of the relaxed permitted use. Therefore, we are restoring the site back to broadcasting and telecommunications facility land."
