The development south of Bahnhofallee in Weilheim will soon be significantly denser.
The city council has already approved two larger new buildings on the corner property on Münchener Strasse, and a development plan is now being drawn up.
Weilheim
- For a few seconds, the mood in the construction committee of the Weilheim city council became a bit wistful. "I still remember the allotment gardens there and that there were chickens running around", said 3rd Mayor Alfred Honisch (Greens), when a building request was submitted for the garden of the large apartment building on the corner of Münchener Strasse and Bahnhofallee, whose apartments once served railroad employees were reserved. "But what use is the whining and nostalgia?", Honisch quickly came back to the present: Certainly, redensification is possible and sensible on this area - all committee members agreed on that.
Even city building authority employee Stefan Kirchmayer spoke of a “classic for redensification”: the property mentioned is large and “currently very cautiously built on in terms of height”.
Which is why nothing speaks against two additional buildings, including an underground car park, as envisaged in the building request: a three-story residential building in the southwest garden area and a three-story building with mixed residential and commercial use in the northwest of the property, facing Bahnhofallee.
For the latter, the client submitted two variants: either as a single building or - even more densely - as a border development to the neighboring property.
The property: a "classic for redensification"
In terms of urban planning, both are “conceivable”, the city building authority said, including a border development - especially since there are “similar plans” for the neighboring area with the post office building (which is no longer owned by the post office, as was emphasized). In order not to "surrender the sovereignty of urban development", the administration urgently recommended drawing up a development plan and in it "bindingly stipulate suitable specifications for urban development compatible redensification".
That is why the topic ended up in the city council after the building committee meeting.
In its November meeting, the latter unanimously and without discussion declared its general agreement with “additional development and moderate redensification” in this area.
It was also decided unanimously to draw up a development plan that would also include the immediate neighboring properties.
"That calls out that a reasonable development should be made for the entire area," emphasized CSU representative Klaus Gast.
Horst Martin (SPD) had suggested to the building committee that, in the course of the land-use planning, "an avenue planting corresponding to the street name" along the north side of the property should also be examined.
