Netanyahu: The powers of local committees will be expanded, and they will be able to approve plans to strengthen buildings without a building permit

Eric Mirowski, globes.co.il

This is what the mechanism will look like to replace TAMA 38 : The Planning and Building Law is being amended to allow local planning and building committees to approve, as well as urban planning plans, old building projects, or demolition and construction of new ones; The new law will also allow local committees to include in the new programs a mix of uses and infrastructure improvements; And finally: In cases where the alternative mechanism for the TAMA is activated, the approval of the IAI will also constitute a building permit. This is the result of the decision of the Holocaust Committee (Subcommittee on Principal Planning Issues of the National Planning and Building Council), chaired by the Director of Planning Administration, Dalit Silber, at its meeting on Tuesday.

In general, the committee reiterated the outline set at a meeting held two weeks ago, at the Office of the Minister of Housing and Construction, Yifat Shasha-Biton, which included all the parties involved in the urban renewal and TAMA 38: Planning Administration, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Construction and Housing, Headquarters The Justice and the Urban Renewal Authority. At that meeting, it was stated that the Tama 38 would end on October 1, 2022, and that during those three years, the governmental bodies would formulate an alternative mechanism for the Tama, which would not be a new plan, but a series of regulatory changes, that would transform local committees. For planning and building for the body that will handle building reinforcement projects in contrast to the current situation, in which the GDPR It is a national outline plan, for which local committees are responsible only for issuing building permits.

The Netherlands, too, was convinced that the current plan did not achieve the main purpose for which it was established - the strengthening of earthquake structures. According to the data presented to the committee, it appears that the CPI is hardly implemented in the risk zones. The CPA has not achieved its goals in terms of planning either - it allows only residential permits, without responding to the infrastructure and public needs of the resident. In addition, giving a specific permit to the individual building, without planning vision at the complex level, can thwart urban renewal throughout the complex.

Bologna rebutted the Planning Administration's insights and determined that the proper outline for the promotion of buildings and urban regeneration was through detailed plans that would include, as far as possible, entire areas within a general urban regeneration plan that would apply to all local planning space. To submit a general plan for urban renewal and to establish the mechanism for its implementation, the Commission recommends an outline according to which the provisions of the GDPR will continue to apply until October 1, 2022. In addition, a transitional directive stating that an application for a permit submitted to the local committee up to this date will continue to apply Today.

At the same time, a legislative amendment would be given, which would give authority to a local committee, to approve a detailed plan, in plots in which structures requiring reinforcement (such as granted before January 1980, similar to TAMA 38) were demolished and rebuilt.

As part of the new outline, the law will give the local committee authority to approve municipal renewal programs involving commercial and public uses, to the extent prescribed by law. It will also consolidate plots, expand roads and public areas, something that cannot be done today.

The new legislation will also include a new mechanism that will shorten schedules, whereby there will be overlap between the approval of the plan and the granting of a building permit, so that the need to apply for a building permit in addition to the plan - will remain.

And finally: The committee was convinced that the imposition of levies should be considered for such projects (both in the reinforcement route and the demolition route), but as in a three-week meeting, planning officials are wary of fixing rivets on levy rates.
