Medicine against Zurich einzonung stop is found

"After much wrangling, the adoption of a successful compromise unanimously", according to the building Committee of the Kantonsrats today is Friday. This is good news for all the city planners and potential home buyers. Because recently the Federal government for the whole of the Canton of Zurich had imposed a einzonung stop.

May value to compensate for A - and Aufzonungen decide what was in Zurich to date. This requires only surprised, but to a lot of money. The municipalities want to skim off naturally as much as possible, in order to cover their costs for the additional infrastructure, such as roads closures to the new settlements.

government wanted to only Minimum

The income goes into a cantonal compensation Fund to compensate the municipalities for Auszonungen and measures of the space planning of Canton, regions and municipalities supported.

In the case of On - and Zoning (local value-added compensation) to enjoy the communities great freedom: you can request a levy of up to 40 percent on the order of 100'000 Swiss francs reduced value. This set of 0 to 40 percent allow the municipalities, in their very different needs individually perceive, the Commission writes in its communication.

The municipalities regulate the balance in its building and zoning regulations. The income is to remain, contrary to the submission of the government of the municipalities. "In the sense of a simplification of the survey" is to define the municipalities in the areas of 1200 to 2000 square meters.
