Yongin City Solicits Residents' Input on Designation of Public-Supported Private Rental Housing Supply Promotion District in Pogok-eup

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park Noh-hoon] Yongin City announced on the 25th that it will accept public comments in conjunction with the disclosure of documents regarding the designation of the 'Yongin Pogok Public-Supported Private Rental Housing Supply Promotion District' in the Maseong and Youngmun-ri areas of Pogok-eup.

The designation of the supply promotion district follows a proposal by the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport for a public-supported private rental housing project to supply approximately 3,800 units on 456,738㎡ in the Maseong and Youngmun-ri areas of Pogok-eup, Cheoein-gu.

Detailed information and floor plans of the project site can be viewed at the comprehensive civil affairs consultation counter on the first floor of City Hall and at the Pogok-eup Office.

The public disclosure and opinion collection period runs from today through March 18 of next month. Residents may submit their opinions in writing, by mail, or by fax to the City's Urban Policy Division.

The city plans to complete the designation of the supply promotion district by the end of this year, following consultation with relevant agencies after collecting residents' input.

The Yongin Pogok Public-Supported Private Rental Housing project will supply more than 50 percent of all housing units as private rental housing to promote residential stability for non-homeowners and actual occupants, while the remainder will be supplied as public rental housing (20%) and for-sale housing (30%), providing diverse housing options.

Meanwhile, public-supported private rental housing supply promotion districts can be designated by city and provincial governors or the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, pursuant to the 'Special Act on Private Rental Housing,' when it is necessary to construct and supply public-supported private rental housing to ensure residential stability for the public.
