Seodaemun-gu, First Autonomous District in Seoul to Establish 'Small-scale Housing Maintenance Project Integrated Deliberation Committee'

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seodaemun-gu (Mayor Seongheon Lee) announced on the 5th that it will establish and operate an Integrated Review Committee to support the rapid promotion of small-scale housing maintenance projects in the area.

‘Small-scale housing maintenance projects’ refer to autonomous housing maintenance projects, street housing maintenance projects, small-scale reconstruction projects, and small-scale redevelopment projects.

Although the Seoul Metropolitan Government has established an Integrated Review Committee for small-scale housing maintenance projects, Seodaemun-gu is the first among Seoul’s autonomous districts to operate one.

The operation of the Integrated Review Committee is based on Article 27 of the Special Act on the Maintenance of Vacant Houses and Small-scale Housing.

When designating or changing use districts or use zones, if construction is carried out up to or exceeding the legal maximum floor area ratio, it is subject to integrated review by the Seoul Metropolitan Government; in other cases, it is subject to integrated review by the autonomous district.

Previously, when promoting small-scale housing maintenance projects, if new or changed maintenance infrastructure such as roads or parks was required, it was cumbersome to undergo urban planning review followed by building review again.

However, with Seodaemun-gu’s pioneering operation of the Integrated Review Committee, it is expected that project promotion will proceed more swiftly.

The first integrated review is scheduled to be held on the 9th of this month at 2 p.m. in the Planning Situation Room on the 3rd floor of the district office, regarding a street housing maintenance project in Hong-eun-dong.

Mayor Seongheon Lee said, “We will spare no effort in providing active administrative support so that development projects within Seodaemun-gu can be promoted quickly, as in this case.”
