Quo vadis, Freising? Answers to the development are to be provided by a new land use plan. The process for this has now been set in motion by the planning committee.
Freising – The city of Freising has an integrated urban development concept, a mobility concept, a noise action plan, various local development plans, a densification study, a climate adaptation concept (KLAPS 50) and the urban development plan STEP 2030. And, of course, the city has a land use plan. However, it dates back to 1998 and is completely outdated in many areas after 25 years. Now the planning committee has given the go-ahead for the establishment of a new FNP - a project that "still involves many procedural steps" and will therefore take quite some time, according to Lord Mayor Tobias Eschenbacher.
The base explains: What are the goals for the new plan?
Jonas Bellingrodt from the city planning department showed the city councillors why, on what basis and with what goals they are now starting to draw up a new land use plan, which will then represent the central basis for further urban development. The current FNP dates back to 1998 and has undergone repeated changes in some areas over the past quarter of a century. In addition, the framework conditions have changed significantly over the past 25 years. Just two keywords: 3. Runway and climate change.
(By the way: Everything from the region is now also available in our regular Freising newsletter.)
According to Mayor Eschenbacher, the basis for the new land use plan was primarily the Urban Development Plan 2030, but also numerous other concepts and plans that dealt with the future of the city. According to Bellingrodt, the requirements for a new FNP are the review of building site representations, the review of environmental protection concerns, the consideration of the paradigm shift between internal development and external development, and the incorporation of international, national and city-specific climate protection targets.
Minimizing conflicts and remedying undesirable developments
For Freising in particular, this means that the new FNP is intended to minimise conflicts of use between commercial and residential, to activate inner-city areas for residential and commercial use, to remedy undesirable developments, to adapt the urban structure to future natural hazards, to preserve, secure and network open spaces, to strengthen the city centre, to establish land use and recreational use concepts in the Moos or to integrate the mobility concept. According to Bellingrodt, this includes a sustainable population development, attractive districts with an appropriate building density, the safeguarding of commercial enterprises and jobs, retail development and supply close to home as well as sustainable mobility, as well as the introduction of the new digital standard in urban land use planning.
Special Topic 3rd Runway: Major Impact on Urban Development
And as if these were not enough tasks that the new land use plan has to fulfil, there is also the special topic of the 3rd runway. With its day and night protection areas, with its noise protection zones, the runway, which has been approved and approved by the court, has a major impact on urban development, according to the mayor. City Director Gerhard Koch added that this would be "an exciting topic" in view of the unclear situation regarding the runway. But we're not there yet. The preparation of a new land use plan is a long and lengthy process, which the planning committee has now unanimously initiated.
