Siheung City to Hold Public Inspection of Urban and Residential Environment Improvement Master Plan Amendment

Introduction of Residential Living Area Plan
Reorganization of Floor Area Ratio Incentive System

Siheung City in Gyeonggi Province announced that it will conduct a public inspection of the proposed amendment to the '2030 Siheung City Urban and Residential Environment Improvement Master Plan' from November 25 to December 9.

The Urban and Residential Environment Improvement Master Plan is a higher-level plan for redevelopment and reconstruction projects. It sets the criteria for designating maintenance areas and determines the direction of improvement, while also presenting the basic principles and development guidelines for such projects.

The city explained that the key feature of this amendment is that it reflects the changed conditions for maintenance projects and supplements the system so that, if certain requirements such as the degree of aging are met and residents desire it, maintenance projects can be promoted.

The core of the plan includes the introduction of a 'Residential Living Area Plan' and the reorganization of the 'Floor Area Ratio Incentive System.' The city expects that, by allowing for the application of diverse incentives tailored to local conditions and circumstances during project implementation, the profitability of projects and the expansion of local infrastructure can be improved.

To help residents understand the plan and collect their opinions, the city will hold a resident briefing session at Siheung ABC Happy Learning Town on December 1. After reviewing the opinions submitted during the public inspection period, the city will revise the amendment as needed, consult with relevant departments, seek the opinion of the city council, and undergo a review by the Urban Planning Committee, with the final confirmation and announcement planned for the first half of next year.

Siheung Mayor Lim Byeongtaek stated, "This amendment is an important step toward establishing a demand-responsive maintenance project system that can flexibly respond to changes in urban conditions," adding, "We will incorporate residents' opinions and work together to bring new vitality to the original downtown area."
