Jeonju City Resolves Residential Parking Shortage with 'Green Parking Project'

[Jeonju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Han-ho] Jeonju City announced on the 6th that it is accepting applications year-round for the ‘My Home Parking Green Parking Project,’ which provides partial support for parking lot construction costs to residents of detached houses and apartment residents struggling with a lack of parking spaces.

The support targets multi-family housing with 20 or more households that received project plan approval or building permits before December 17, 2013, under the Housing Construction Promotion Act and the Building Act, as well as detached houses in areas with severe alleyway parking difficulties.

In the case of multi-family housing, applications can be made by obtaining the consent of at least two-thirds of all residents for idle facilities such as ancillary facilities, sports facilities, children's playgrounds, and landscaping facilities within the complex, and receiving a use change permit from the building permit department.

In such cases, support of 500,000 KRW per parking space, up to 10,000,000 KRW for a maximum of 20 spaces, can be received.

Additionally, if a detached house owner demolishes fences or gates to install a parking lot, subsidies ranging from 1,500,000 KRW to 2,000,000 KRW are provided.

However, parking lot construction costs can only be supported once, and the parking lot must be maintained for three years after construction.

If the parking lot function is not maintained, such as by building fences or converting to other uses, the full construction cost will be reclaimed.

Applicants can visit or contact the Jeonju City Traffic Safety Division by phone for inquiries.

Previously, Jeonju City has been implementing the ‘My Home Parking Green Parking Project’ since 2009, helping create a total of 1,138 parking spaces up to last year.
