Residential Environment Improvement Projects for Seryuri, Godeung, and Pyeongdong Districts Begin in Earnest

The residential environment improvement projects for districts including Seryuri and Pyeongdong in Gwonseon-gu and Godeung in Paldal-gu are expected to proceed in full scale following the conditional approval by the Gyeonggi Province Urban Planning and Architecture Committee.

According to Suwon City, at the Gyeonggi Province Urban Planning and Architecture Committee meeting held on the 1st, the designation of residential environment improvement districts for an area of approximately 744,320㎡ (225,156 pyeong) covering Seryuri, Godeung, and Pyeongdong was conditionally approved.

The conditional approval includes the following: For an area of approximately 229,840㎡ (69,526 pyeong) around Seryuri-dong 334-88 and approximately 361,540㎡ (109,365 pyeong) around Godeung-dong 94-1, the floor area ratio was adjusted downward from the legal limit of 230% to 210% or below.

Additionally, for approximately 152,940㎡ (46,264 pyeong) at Pyeongdong 35-6, urban infrastructure including roads, parks, and sewage systems are to be improved.

The city plans to designate and announce the residential environment improvement districts for these areas in December and will hold a resident briefing session in December.

A city official stated, “We will designate the business operator with the consent of two-thirds of landowners and building owners and one-half of tenants,” and projected that “the project will receive approval for implementation in the first half of next year, with compensation work to begin in the second half.”

In relation to this, the city established the '2010 Suwon City Urban Residential Environment Improvement Master Plan' on September 14th, confirming and announcing 25 areas designated for future improvement projects including redevelopment, reconstruction, and residential environment improvement projects.
