Notice of Legislative Amendment to Subordinate Laws of the National Land Planning Act... Until August 31

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo In-ho] The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport will announce a 40-day legislative notice starting from the 22nd for the amendment of the 'Subordinate Legislation of the National Land Planning Act,' mainly focusing on the rationalization and improvement of location regulations.

According to the amendment, revisions to subordinate legislation reflecting urban sector regulatory innovation measures for post-COVID-19 response and expansion of an inclusive foundation have been incorporated. It also includes rationalization of location regulations to prevent indiscriminate development in non-urban areas and improvements to deficiencies in system operations.

Regarding the improvement and rationalization of location regulations, regulations on the location of living logistics facilities in response to the non-face-to-face economy will be improved. In response to the spread of the non-face-to-face economy due to the COVID-19 pandemic, to address the increase in online consumption and living logistics from an urban planning perspective, the installation of parcel collection and delivery facilities as convenience facilities in public offices, etc., will be permitted.

The location of hydrogen charging stations within urban planning facilities will also be expanded. To promote the spread of hydrogen vehicles and user convenience, the urban planning facilities where hydrogen charging stations can be located will be expanded from four facilities including public offices to seven additional facilities such as sports facilities, which have high citizen usage and allow for complex land use.

Indiscriminate development in planned management areas will also be prevented. To improve the problem of indiscriminate development caused by the proliferation of individually located factories and manufacturing plants in non-urban areas, the location of factories and manufacturing plants will be permitted in planned management areas only if local governments have established growth management plans. The application period will include a grace period of more than three years, considering the time required to establish the growth management plan.

A provision for minor changes to the minimum location regulation district plan has also been newly established. When changing the minimum location regulation district plan, grounds for minor changes that can omit formal procedures such as review by the urban planning committee will be prepared to simplify the process.

The criteria for permitting the location of rest restaurants and similar establishments within catchment areas in planned management areas will be clarified. To improve unclear points in the application of criteria permitting rest restaurants and similar establishments within catchment areas in planned management areas, it will be defined as the case where 10 or more natural villages are "all formed within the catchment area."

The separation distance standards between residential areas and accommodation facilities will also be clarified as "each part of the building."
