In the future city center, not only should car traffic be restricted, but parking spaces should also be saved.


In the future city center, not only should car traffic be restricted, but parking spaces should also be saved.

Puchheim - The city council's development committee has now spoken out in favor of a parking space key, according to which only one parking space per apartment generally has to be allocated.

So far there have been two if the living space is over 80 square meters.

In return, 1.25 bicycle parking spaces per room will have to be provided in the future; so far, exactly one was enough.

With this regulation one does not expect a car-free center, but more alternative means of transport.

City center Puchheim: Car sharing station

The reason for the innovation is the special location.

The train station is very close by, almost all buses run here, and there is also a car-sharing station.

The administration argued that there was no need for a car to go shopping or to attend events.

In addition, living could become cheaper if large, expensive underground garages or parking spaces that take up a lot of space were no longer needed to the same extent as before.

It is hoped that future residents will do without a vehicle and will mainly travel by bike, on foot or by public transport.

The Greens saw it similarly.

To plan for the future means to take into account the changed mobility behavior of an “urban population”, said Manfred Sengl.

In Munich you can see how the car has become superfluous, especially for young people.

Michaela von Hagen (FW), on the other hand, was skeptical: Probably very few new tenants would move to the center of Puchheim in the future to enjoy cycling.

But because they found an apartment at all.

City center Puchheim: New living space

It is almost certain that new living space will be created.

The plans for two apartment buildings with a total of 17 apartments on the previously undeveloped property next to the youth center are practically finished.

Since the new center is to become an “urban area”, lower noise protection requirements also apply.

In the future, the young people will be allowed to romp around on their multi-purpose space for longer than just the one hour a day that an immission report calculated as the maximum annoyance for residents in a normal core area.

And surprisingly, it could also be built opposite the town hall, in the previous rectory garden.

The church is said to have indicated that a small residential area would also be possible and desirable here, even if only in some future.

As two parish council members mentioned as guests in the committee, such ideas are by no means undisputed on site.

The fact that there are no clear statements from the ordinariate enraged Max Keil from the ubp.

“As a city councilor and a Catholic Christian” he feels kidding when no more than a “brittle letter” arrives in Puchheim from those in charge: “We can't deal with each other like that.” The city now has a smaller house on the church property for the central development plan close to the Green Market and a three-storey block building on Poststrasse.

Now you have to wait for comments on this draft, said Mayor Norbert Seidl (SPD).

For the rest of the city center, which extends from the town hall to the east end of the Kennedy meadow, no more major discussions were necessary.

The center of the center remains the “Bildungshof” with the three new buildings for the library, music school and adult education center.

The committee unanimously approved the modified concept.
