Gwacheon City, Development Restricted Zone Exemption Area District Unit Plan Amendment Approved Conditionally

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Yu Je-sung] Gwacheon City announced that the urban management plan (district unit plan) decision and amendment for the development restricted zone exemption areas (10 districts including Dwit-gol, and Gail and Segok districts) was conditionally approved at the Urban Planning and Architecture Joint Committee meeting held on the 27th.

The amendment includes △30% increase in standard floor area ratio and permissible floor area ratio △relaxation of building floor numbers by one floor △partial relaxation of lot area standards, among other provisions. In particular, the floor area ratio relaxation is being pursued for the first time in approximately 20 years, which is significant in that it represents regulatory improvement reflecting the current circumstances of the development restricted zone exemption area.

Additionally, the district unit plan amendment is expected to increase land use efficiency within the development restricted zone exemption area and enable more flexible response to changing regional circumstances.

The city plans to reflect opinions presented during the review process, conduct re-announcement on certain changes including public contribution implementation guidelines, and issue the final announcement next month.
