Further residential development is to be made possible to the west of Schloßstraße in Esting.
The Urban Development Committee agreed on this at its most recent meeting.
Olching - The administration had proposed to create building rights for empty properties in the Kreuzstrasse area by means of a so-called inclusion statute.
This means that the planned houses have to blend in with their surroundings.
An alternative would be a development plan for the area, in which the city can determine more detailed regulations for the builders.
However, this would result in “a lengthy planning process and high financial outlay”, as the building authority explained in the meeting's presentation.
Ingrid Jaschke (Greens) didn't think much of the inclusion statute: “You give up your planning sovereignty without need.” She feared that problematic developments could arise.
The Deputy Mayor Maximilian Gigl (CSU) then made the compromise proposal to issue an inclusion statute only for a plot in the north that is directly adjacent to the existing development and to draw up a development plan for the remaining large area.
Maria Hartl (CSU) wanted to regulate the southern area between Point- and Mayor-March-Weg with an inclusion statute.
“I can understand half of the concerns, but the citizens there have been waiting for years to do something for their children.” She feared that a development plan would take a long time.
Building authority chief Markus Brunnhuber pointed out that the effort for a development plan there was manageable.
Hartl nevertheless applied for the inclusion statute for the southern area, but was clearly overruled by the committee.
Ultimately, the urban development committee voted unanimously in favor of Gigl's proposal.
