The floor area ratio of the housing development project near the station was raised from 500% to 700%
“The supply will be larger than the previous plan”
Expert “We need to leave it to the private sector and provide administrative support to increase rental housing”
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the Seoul Metropolitan Government decided to review the private development plan for Dongja-dong. This is because there is strong opposition from the owners for unilaterally designating the district as a public housing district, and the operating standards of the station area development project model, which is the basic framework of the private development plan, have recently increased to a maximum of 700% and the operating standards have been changed, such as easing the non-residential ratio in semi-residential areas. .
According to the Residents’ Countermeasure Committee in Dongja-dong, Seoul Station on the 13th, during a meeting with the Seoul Metropolitan Government on the 12th, the city of Seoul proposed to submit a new private redevelopment project to the Countermeasures Committee. The operating standards for the station area development project, which are the basic framework of the private project plan, have been changed.
An official from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport explained, “Recently, the city of Seoul proposed to review a project proposal that applied the changed management standards for housing near station areas.”
The standard for long-term Jeonse housing construction in the station area was relaxed last month from ‘500% or less’ to a maximum of ‘700% or less’ for the floor area ratio of quasi-residential areas. In the past, the 500% floor area ratio was applied as a lump sum, but in the future, it will be applied differently depending on the status of the station area. The proportion of non-residential areas in semi-residential areas was also adjusted. This will increase the supply of housing.
This is a standard that was not applied when the Resident Countermeasures Committee submitted a proposal. After reviewing the private development proposal submitted at the time, the Seoul Metropolitan Government made a judgment of ‘unsuitable’ because the supply of pre-sale and rental housing was calculated at the maximum. However, if this standard is applied, the supply amount suggested through the existing private development plan can be sufficiently secured, and more supply is possible.
The residents’ countermeasure committee explains that it can come up with a private development plan that is sufficiently feasible. A spokesperson for the task force said, “The private development proposal submitted earlier had an aspect of calculating the maximum amount of supply, but applying the revised standard will make it possible to supply more than the previous proposal.”
This development plan is expected to be prepared by applying different floor area ratios for each area. In order to receive the maximum floor area ratio of 700%, it must be located within 250m of the platform boundary, because some areas are out of the way. Accordingly, the plan of the committee is to apply 700% of the area within the 250m range and apply 500% of the existing eye patch to the rest of the design.
Experts explain that it is appropriate to proceed with the residents’ own development for the rapid progress of the project.
Seo Jin-hyeong, co-representative of the Fair Housing Forum (Professor at Kyungin Women’s University), said, “It is inappropriate to proceed with public projects by activating land expropriation rights in the city center. Increasing the ratio of public rental housing as much as possible is a way to speed up the project and promote housing stability for residents of jjokbang villages.”
Song Seung-hyeon, head of city and economy, also said, “It is not a new city, and the public’s intention to develop directly in the core area in the city center will only increase resistance. can be known,” he said.
“Rather, we should encourage the private sector to speed up the business and increase the number of rental housing as much as possible,” he said.
