Naju City in Jeollanam-do will hold resident briefing sessions on the designation of growth management plan zones and the establishment of plans from the 19th of this month to the 4th of next month.

According to the city on the 15th, the growth management plan is a plan to solve the problem of indiscriminate development caused by the coexistence of conflicting buildings such as residential and factories, and to prevent reckless urban development.

The core is to induce planned development to improve living conditions and promote industrial agglomeration.

The city will hold briefing sessions for residents and landowners of the eup, myeon, and dong where the planned management areas are located, starting with Geumcheon and Sanpo myeon on the 19th, until the 4th of next month.

The briefing schedule is as follows: Bonghwang myeon and Nampyeong eup on the 20th, Dado myeon and Seji myeon on the 21st, Bannam myeon and Wanggok myeon on the 22nd, Gongsan myeon and Donggang myeon on the 25th, Munpyeong myeon and Dasim myeon on the 28th, and Geumnam dong, Yeonggang dong, Yeongsan dong, Ichang dong, and Noan myeon in order on the 29th.

According to the revision of the Enforcement Decree of the Act on the Planning and Use of National Land, factories and manufacturing businesses can only be located in planned management areas where growth management plans have been established.

Also, among the 58.0㎢ of planned management areas in the jurisdiction, about 35.9㎢ excluding district unit planning zones and natural settlement zones will be designated separately by type to prevent indiscriminate mixing of housing and factories.

The types of growth management plan zones are classified into ‘residential type’ for creating a pleasant residential environment centered on densely populated residential areas, ‘industrial type’ for organizing and inducing industrial functions and agglomeration, and ‘complex type’ for mixed building areas or undeveloped areas.

If construction activities comply with the growth management plans presented by Naju City, including recommended building uses and building forms by type, the building coverage ratio can be increased from the existing 40% up to 50%, and the floor area ratio can also be relaxed from the existing 100% up to 125%.

The city expects that the establishment of this growth management plan will have a significant effect on improving living conditions by spatially separating residential and industrial facilities, and improving the corporate environment through systematic management of industrial facilities.

A city official said, “We will do our best to allow the establishment of factories within the planned management areas without damaging the existing residential environment.”

Meanwhile, the designation of growth management plan zones and the establishment of plans are expected to be completed between May and June after administrative procedures such as holding resident briefing sessions, hearing opinions from the city council, and consulting related organizations.
