Gwacheon City Approves 4th Amendment to Gwacheon Juam District Master Plan…Lays Foundation for Creating Flower Distribution Center

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Yu Je-sung] Gwacheon City announced on the 30th that the 4th amendment to the district plan for the 'Gwacheon Juam Public-Support Private Rental Supply Promotion District (hereafter, Gwacheon Juam District)' has been finally approved.

This amendment approval was pursued to enable efficient land utilization and development reflecting regional characteristics within Gwacheon Juam District. In particular, it is significant in that during the 'Mayor Shin Gye-yong's New-Year Institutional Visit' conducted in early this year, suggestions raised by residents including the Flower Growers Association were actively reviewed by the city and reflected in the district plan through consultations with relevant agencies.

The city improved the supply and development conditions of self-sufficient facility sites for creating a flower distribution center within the promotion district to support the continuous development of the flower industry, a major regional industry in Gwacheon, and stable financial resettlement of farming households.

According to this district plan amendment, the self-sufficient facility site where the flower distribution center will be located has undergone the following changes: △The land supply method has been changed from the existing competitive bidding (successful bid price) method to an appraised value supply method recommended by the head of the local government; △The floor limit has been raised from the existing 15 stories to a maximum of 25 stories. Additionally, △with the addition of officetel-permitted uses, the utilization of the site and project implementation conditions are expected to improve.

The city stated that through this amendment approval, it has made land use planning within Juam District more rational and has laid the groundwork for strengthening self-sufficient functions.
