The SPD wants to stop the current plans to develop the Kreuzlinger Feld.
Instead, the city should carry out an urban development measure for the area and thus secure planning sovereignty.
Germering
- The development of the Kreuzlinger Feld between Alfons-Baumannstrasse and the railway line is no longer a problem.
The building committee approved the zoning plan at the end of September and recommended it to the city council for adoption.
In contrast, the citizens' initiative Livable Germering has only recently taken a public position.
Above all, they require less dense development.
Now the SPD is stepping up.
Group spokesman Daniel Liebetruth requests in an application to the city council that the ongoing process be put on hold for at least one year.
This time should be used to check the feasibility of an urban development measure (SEM) for the area.
According to Liebetruth, this instrument would be suitable so that the city can decide for itself how the Kreuzlinger Feld is cultivated.
In his opinion, this is the only way to create sufficient affordable housing.
Creation of living space
According to the current plans, the investor must provide a certain number of apartments based on the social land use model (Sobon) on favorable terms.
According to Liebetruth, this will only create affordable living space in the short term.
Because of the massive creation of freely financed living space, a significant increase in rent levels is to be expected, since new apartments are expensive.
The SEM model is used by the state capital and has the advantage that the city itself then has the planning authority.
From Liebetruth's point of view, other planning points criticized by the SPD and the citizens' initiative could also be revised.
Among other things, he also lists the fact that the so-called circus meadow on Kreuzlinger Strasse is not part of the current planning.
The SPD fears that the owner can subsequently assert building rights without having to adhere to the rest of the planning.
City architect Jürgen Thum wants to check whether the idea of the SPD can actually lead to the desired result, namely the creation of affordable living space.
The city's lawyers are also involved.
Thum sees a major hurdle in the Kreuzlinger Feld in the fact that the city would have to buy the land and then build it itself.
Compared to the state capital, Germering does not have any housing associations.
Thum also points out that Munich only uses the model in exceptional cases.
