They would be mini-apartments, like those that are in demand in Weilheim: an investor would like to create 33 apartments in a new building on Schützenstrasse.
But this is “too massive” for the city – especially in view of the traffic situation.
Weilheim
- A four-story new building on the long-unused property at Schützenstrasse 13, directly on the railway embankment: The Weilheim city council's building committee would have no objection to the building itself.
Three years ago, the committee approved a similarly sized plan for the area where there was previously a carpentry warehouse.
At that time there was talk of a 42 meter long and almost 12 meter high apartment building with 13 residential and two commercial units, accessible from the south via Giesingerstrasse.
According to the city building authority, a building permit is available for this.
City planning department warns: “We are creating traffic chaos”
The property now has a new owner.
And he - according to reports an investor from Petersdorf - has now submitted a new plan via “advance drawing of a building application”.
The dimensions of the new building therefore remain the same.
But this will now house 33 apartments (eleven of them handicapped accessible) as well as two small commercial units.
Most of the required car parking spaces are provided as so-called double parking spaces in an underground car park.

“The cubature is fine,” said building authority employee Stefan Kirchmayer, commenting on the new design at the most recent building committee meeting;
this corresponds to the already approved planning.
But the use of the building would be “significantly more massive”.
This requires more parking spaces - although in reality duplex parking spaces are "reluctantly accepted" by users - and there would be more traffic in the "narrow" Giesingerstrasse.
“From our point of view, we are creating traffic chaos,” says Kirchmayer.
BfW spokeswoman calls the proposed stores a “joke”
Brigitte Holeczek also saw it that way.
She stands by the size of the building, “and we also need apartments in Weilheim,” said the BfW spokeswoman.
But these should not be created in purely apartment buildings.
33 pieces, which is “too massive in one place”.
Holeczek also called the planned stores measuring 21 and 27 square meters a “joke”.
This is “already designed so that there can be more apartments”.
CSU representative complains: Necessary number of parking spaces “added in” with duplex parkers
The apartments didn't bother him, noted Klaus Gast on behalf of the CSU, "but the parking situation just doesn't work here."
With duplex parkers, the necessary number is “added in,” says Gast, “but that doesn’t work in practice.”

Alfred Honisch found the city building authority's remark that “it wasn't suitable for traffic reasons” to be a novelty, and a positive one at that.
“This has been put in place from the right place,” praised the Green representative – and added that in the past “this was not always seen this way with other new building projects”.

A development plan is now to be drawn up
Since there is no development plan for the property in question, the development options currently depend on the buildings in the area.
The committee said that the new project could only be prevented through land-use planning and the issuance of a change ban.
The committee unanimously rejected the submitted request.
At the same time, it was unanimously voted to draw up a development plan for the application property and the area adjacent to the west.
Before the city council decides, they want to communicate the rejection to the building applicant and talk to them.
