The planning department in the plans for the new Münchner-Kindl-Bräu in Giesing insists on the change in the land use plan - which can take years. Now OB Dieter Reiter intervenes.
- A year passed at the planned Munich Kindl brewery due to the necessary preparations
- The project is viewed positively in the planning department - however, the land use plan must first be changed
- Now OB Dieter Reiter wants to speed up the planning
Update from February 14: Actually everyone agrees - the city council, the district committees, the residents: the new brewery of the Münchner-Kindl-Bräu , which is planned on the 4000 square meter site on the edge of the former Ami settlement in Giesing , should come.
However, the planning department insists on the change in the land use plan, which can drag on for years (see initial report). An absurdity, says restaurateur Dietrich Sailer , who wants to have the brewery built and has made a big stir to give the administration a leg up in this case.
The mayor has now intervened in the debate. "I find the idea of building a brewery and restaurant on the already sealed surface of a former gas station extremely charming," said Dieter Reiter (61, SPD). He had commissioned the planning department to "do everything to ensure that the project can be approved as quickly as possible."
The department responsible had recently announced that it would not be possible to speed up the procedure . Whether the brewery plans including the restaurant, hop garden and paddock can now be implemented earlier than planned? The OB is "confident that there will be a broad majority for this in the city council."
A decision about a building application for a brewery can drag on for years
First report from February 13:
Munich - Gastronomy Dietrich Sailer will have to wait another year and a half before his building application for a brewery with a restaurant, hop garden, bee meadow and paddock can be processed at all. It takes around 2.5 years - and thus longer than the development of a development plan - to change a land use plan in Munich , as the responsible member of the planning department, Uta Kirchhof, explained in the latest district committee (BA) Obergiesing.
"Why does a land use plan change take so long?"
One year has already passed at the planned Munich Kindl brewery due to the necessary preparations. At the end of March, the matter should now be submitted to the city council, then the change of the area of more than 4,000 square meters to the "special brewery" could be completed by summer 2021 in the best case. "Why does a land use plan change take so long?" Asked Joachim Lorenz (Greens), a former urban environmental officer. The plan sets goals and only binds the administration. Lorenz asked the city to obtain the permission of the government of Upper Bavaria in advance , but at least to prepare the building permit in parallel. After all, everyone wanted the brewery - the city council, the two Giesingen district committees and the residents. "It would be a positive development for the site, which is now completely sealed."
"There is no acceleration of the process"
Even in the planning department , the project is viewed positively , as the deputy chief of the local building commission, Thomas Rehn, admitted. Nevertheless: "There is no acceleration of the process." Everything will be processed properly . Uta Kirchhof justified the duration by overloading her department . So far, she had been responsible for changes to the usage plan together with one employee, only now had two more employees been added. As they would have to deal with a large number of procedures, priorities would have to be set. "How high is the public interest in such a small location with a brewery compared to other locations with many apartments or the school building program?"
Greens: City should not have tolerated the current use
Rehn denied that the construction of a car wash , which Gastronom Sailer has now considered as an alternative, could be implemented more quickly on the old gas station site. Even more: "In our view, there is no permit for the current use on the site." The inventory protection no longer applies because the petrol pumps have been abandoned . "A new petrol station would also need a land use plan change."
Then the city shouldn't have tolerated the current use or even had to prevent it, Lorenz wondered. However, the 1971 approval, which is available from Munich's Merkur, speaks of a “service station with washing and care halls” for “workshop, tire and lubrication service, interior cleaning and washing”. According to Sailer's lawyer Benno Ziegler, there is a right to expand the portfolio under the Building Act .
Even if a mistake should have happened in 1971, this would not automatically lead to the approval of a car wash, city planner Rehn contradicted in the district committee. In addition, the permit for the US gas station was not designed to be permanent at the time. Nothing can be found in the documents, however, of a deadline. The city should have anticipated that the Americans would withdraw from Munich 20 years later.
