Municipalities once again reminded to intensify efforts to develop area planning documents

Today, a videoconference meeting on provision of municipalities of the Republic with area planning and zoning documents took place in the Ministry of Construction, Architecture and Housing of the Republic of Tatarstan under the chairmanship of Deputy Minister and Chief Architect of Tatarstan V.N.Kudryashev. All the municipalities of Tatarstan participated therein.

As of today, the Republic is completing the preparation of area planning documents for the municipalities.

9 area planning schemes for the municipalities of the Republic of Tatarstan (Zelenodolsky, Almetyevsky, Nizhnekamsky, Laishevsky, Spassky, Bugulminsky, Mendeleyevsky, Verkhneuslonsky and Zainsky areas) have been approved

28 area planning draft schemes are being approved, and 6 area planning schemes are being developed.  

In spring of 2012 776 Executive Committees of the areas of the Republic decided to start developing general layouts.

V.N.Kudryashev noted that, first of all, the municipalities themselves must be interested in the subject. As from December 31, 2012, the land acquisition for the public use and the land transfer from one category into another will be prohibited in the absence of area planning documents. Land plots owned by the state or a municipality will also be prohibited to be granted for construction. As from 31/12/2012, building licensing will be prohibited in the absence of land use and development rules.

Moreover, the availability of approved area planning and zoning documents directly influences the possibility of municipalities to participate in federal and republican programs.
