A big step in the fight against the high price of apartments in Kfar Saba: The
Housing Authority rejected the claims of the neighboring moshavs and approved the 'Kiryat HaTza'arim' plan in the northeast of the city - to establish a new residential neighborhood that includes 4,140 housing units at a reduced price and long-term rental housing.
As part of dealing with the housing crisis in Israel, it decided The Municipality of Kfar Saba to promote the "Kiryat Ha'Tsa'arim" program in the northeast of the city, (Tamil 1088) together with the Israel Lands Authority.
This is a new residential neighborhood that is expected to include approximately 3,300 units, 427 student dormitories and approximately 400 units of sheltered housing, along with an area of approximately 80,000 square meters for employment and commerce.
As part of the program, the municipality committed to emphasize affordable housing for young couples at a reduced price, apartments that will be used for long-term rent, all while maintaining the green areas, establishing a green urban promenade, preserving the Osishkin forest, and more.
In addition, a solution to the problem of traffic jams in the city?
Along with increasing the supply of apartments in the northeast of Kfar Saba, unprecedented moves are being planned in the field of transportation that will provide a solution to the congestion on the city's roads.
As part of the plan, road 541 will be widened - an important move, since it is one of the most important latitudinal axes in southern Sharon, linking the national longitudinal axes - road 2, Ayalon routes and road 4. In addition, road 5504 will be paved to the eastern industrial zone - which will help relieve traffic jams at the entrance to the city.
The leading Rehovot and Ben Yehuda roads in the city will be significantly expanded and the new road 5503 will also be connected to the Tschernihovski axis.
Also, the plan includes the development of a bicycle path network, which will be part of the master plan for the city's bicycle paths.
The Mayor of Kfar Saba, Rafi Sa'ar:
"Important news for the young people of Kfar Saba, and the residents of the housing improvers. I congratulate the members of the committee who chose to do historical justice. We were able to bring a real plan to fight housing prices in the city."
Attorney Dodo Kuchman, Secretary General of the Agricultural Union,
In response to the OTML's decision to reject the objections of the moshav Tsovit: "This is a puzzling and disconnected decision."
The claims of the neighboring seats were rejected
The plan, submitted to public objections in December 2021, created resentment among the South Sharon Regional Council and Moshav Tzufit, which are located near the city of Kfar Saba.
In the objection they submitted to TML during the objections phase, the council and the moshav claimed that the plan applies mostly to agricultural areas that are in their territory and harm their livelihood.
The committee was presented with the recommendations of the report of the researcher Adib Nakash, who examined the objections submitted to the plan by the South Sharon and Zofit regional councils.
According to the committee, "the plan offers a diverse building mix, is based on a textured and mixed-use urban grid, and fits in close to the Kaplan Forest, which is a green urban lung."
The committee was impressed that "an effort will be made to reduce as much as possible the damage to the valuable open spaces, by reducing the area of the plan from the east, In the area of the ecological transition, as well as to maintain a buffer between the building proposed in the plan and between the nearby Moshav Scout."
Accordingly, it decided to adopt the subcommittee's recommendation and approve the plan, subject to technical corrections under the guidance of the committee's planner, including greater flexibility in the management of runoff reservoirs and spot improvements in the internal road system.

The mayor of Kfar Saba, Rafi Sa'ar, welcomed the committee's decision and said
: "This is important news for the young people of Kfar Saba, and the housing developers living in the city. Kfar Saba is the only city in Sharon that promotes a construction program for young couples. The 'Kan Beiti' program includes the marketing of apartments at a reduced price , the allocation of apartments for long-term rental and the renewal of the Yoseftal neighborhood. Today, together with the professional teams at the municipality, we took a big step towards the completion of the planning and the start of implementation."
Sa'ar added further and said: "I congratulate the members of the committee who chose to do historical justice. I pledge that the plan will preserve the green lungs and provide transportation solutions even for those who opposed it. After decades of planning drought, we were able to bring a real plan to fight housing prices in the city. This is good news In the coming years, we will see a real fight against the high cost of housing in the city and the economic effects of the program. Along with increasing the supply of housing, we will work to fully and quickly implement the transportation solutions for the 'Kan Beiti' program in the east and north of the city. We do not intend to watch from the sidelines while the young families collapse under the burden Rising housing prices. We will do everything to keep the young families here in Kfar Saba."
Reactions of those who oppose the Hotmail decision
According to Dodo Kuchman, Secretary General of the Rural Union Agricultural Movement:
"This is a plan that would have been better if it had not come into the world.
The spills in open areas in general and agricultural land in particular will cause irreparable damage to the citizens of the country.
Instead of promoting the removal of overcrowded construction and the utilization of areas within the city, they prefer to damage more agricultural areas."
According to him, "the damage to agriculture and food security is already reflected in the central area where the open areas and farmers are disappearing.
It is up to the new government to calculate a new course and guarantee housing for future generations while maintaining a balance that will guarantee future generations not only housing but also quality of life and quality of the environment."
Head of the South Sharon Regional Council, Osherat Gani Gonen:
"It is absurd that the mayor of Kfar Saba presents as "historical justice" the move to eliminate a settlement that has been producing Israeli agriculture for 90 years, to run over the greenery around Kfar Saba, to create transportation and infrastructure chaos and all this under the guise of affordable housing.
We recognize the need to provide an answer to the national housing crisis and have engaged in this many times in the past at a painful price.
The decision regarding the Tsofit TML means another step in the elimination of the rural area in the center of the country, through a plan that is not balanced and proportional. It would be appropriate for the municipality of Kapas to work to promote urban renewal and the expansion of its territory.
As someone who is deeply familiar with the city's plans, the KPS has the possibility and the ability to build thousands of housing units that are not at the expense of the last remaining green and agricultural areas in the area. This is hard news that the HTML has chosen to harm the green health of the entire environment, of our neighbors in the city and in the village.
We will continue to fight with all our might to preserve the rural space for future generations."
