In order to secure more building land for young families or for senior-friendly living, the municipality of Iffeldorf is improving its building land model.
She wants to have access to more square meters in the future when a private property becomes building land.
Iffeldorf - Many municipalities have models with which they secure a part of private land when it is converted into lucrative building plots.
In Penzberg, for example, the so-called SoBon regulation, abbreviated for social land use, has existed since 2017: If a private builder wants to build apartments and if a development plan is necessary, he must either offer a part of the property there from a certain size or sell it to the Selling the city, which then creates socially supported housing there itself.
This model is implemented, for example, on Daserweg in Penzberg.
Other municipalities such as Penzberg have introduced the SoBon regulation
"SoBon has been around in Iffeldorf for a very long time," said Mayor Hans Lang (SPD). In fact, there has been a building land model in Iffeldorf for around 30 years. The latest version is from 2011. Now the Osterseengemeinde is working on further developing the model. Because of the strong settlement pressure in the Munich metropolitan area, the municipality of Iffeldorf is dependent on sufficient building land for young families and - due to increasing demand - also for senior-friendly housing, according to the preamble of the model. The aim is to avoid people who cannot afford affordable apartments because of the high real estate and rental prices in the area, being forced to move away. Likewise, it is said, the community endeavors to secure the identity of the place and the growing social cohesion.
Municipality of Iffeldorf deletes the passage about its own use
According to Lang, a key point in the further development of the Iffeldorfer building land model is the deletion of a passage about personal use.
The mayor explains this using a calculation example: If a 1,500 square meter plot of land was previously converted into building land, the owner could previously deduct 500 square meters as his own use.
The remaining 1000 square meters were shared between the owner and the municipality.
More precisely: The municipality was able to acquire half of the 1,000 square meters.
This advance deduction for personal use is now to be omitted in the new version of the building land model.
That means: In the calculation example, the municipality would have access to half of the 1500 square meters, i.e. 750 square meters.
"As a municipality, we have to siphon off significantly more"
“As a municipality, we have to skim off significantly more,” argues Lang.
This is a reaction to the immense price increases.
If the new regulation had already applied to the new building district on Rathausweg - there were five property owners with the right to advance deductions - the proportion for the local model would have been twice as large, he explains.
As reported, around a third of the plots on Rathausweg were available as local residents' models.
According to the new building land variant, the municipality could in future purchase half of the property for an expert building expectation price and then, after deducting the development areas, sell it on to locals for the construction of a single-family house.
Another possibility, according to Lang, would be for the congregation to build it itself.
There was approval in the most recent meeting of the municipal council. "50 to 50 is a fair division," said Isolde Künstler (SPD). You have to create opportunities for locals. "The costs have risen so massively that some can no longer keep up." Georg Goldhofer (CSU) described the proposal as a fair settlement. This will put you in a good position for the next few years. The new model is not yet in force. The decision is to be made at the September meeting.
