The tourist floors cannot be outside the Madrid center on the lower floors, low and first floors with an independent arrival
The plan is to organize tourist floors And to protect residential use in Madrid continues to take steps for the final approval. On Wednesday, the extraordinary urgent urbanization committee approved the plan, including many allegations submitted during the general information period. The main amendment Expand the restrictions imposed on residential buildings outside the center: In this, tourist floors can only be installed in the properties on the lower floors, low and first floors with independent arrival.
The goal is that they do not live with residential use with triple use because “what generates problems is that in the same building there are neighbors and tourists,” said the urban representative, Borja Karabanti. To date, according to the initial project, The housing of the dispersed tourist use (VUT) was allowed in areas abroad for the so -called historical center (APRE 00.01), the surface that occupies more central almonds, with an independent access to the property. The specific adjustment that can only be implemented if they meet this demand in the first plants, low floors and the lower floors of residential buildings. Yes, the commitment is preserved that VUTS in the center can only be in full buildings.
On Wednesday, which lasted only two minutes, the committee gave the green light to the proposal of the urban planning zone to approve the allegations submitted temporarily during the general information process to amend the 1997 urban planning plan with the intention of “protecting and improving housing use.” The socialist municipal group voted and more Madrid againstWhile the Popular Party moved forward with the voices of its absolute majority. Meanwhile, Vox kept the vote to join the unusual Salameen who will definitely approve the plan, scheduled for next Wednesday, May 21. The person in charge of the urban in PSOE in The Conntory, Antonio Geraldo, stressed that the plan is in his opinion.
The tourist floors plan divides Madrid by two when limiting this type of housing. On the one hand, it covers the sections of Centro, Chamberí, Salamanca, Retiro and part of Arganzuela, Moncloa and Chamartín, located in Aper 00.01 that the historical center is the “historical center”. On the other hand, there are areas that are located outside the M-30 and some areas inside the Circunvalación road: neighborhoods such as legazpi or Atocha (Arganzuela), many Chamartín, Moncloa-Aravaca neighborhoods, Tetunge, Stars and Dear. In April 00.01, tourist floors are not allowed to dispersed in residential buildings even if they are on the ground floor; And does not turn commercial buildings into VUT.
Residents of the areas that remain outside the most severe restrictions of the plan are residing on the demand for extending regulations to the entire city. The same is the request of opposition groups and even The year of TETUán, where a PP spokesman confirmed in the province that it will defend that it was included in the plan. Even the mayor of Madrid, Jose Luis Martinez-Blaida, opened the door to extend the list to other areas of the capital, where it was found “there are negative consequences.” However, finally Municipal government He did not attend requests to create unique legislation for all Madrid. Socialists criticize that, in practice, the new proposal will not mean a “major change” and that “the majority request to apply the same regulations to the entire city” has not been addressed.
In fact, during public information, there were 62 allegations of them Many claimed one application area. The city council in response to these requests admits that the increase in the number of places of tourism is produced on the city’s vicinity. but, It connects it to the process that continues from decentralization in tourism With the aim of “distribution in a more balanced way, using the city as a whole”, although it must be accompanied by “protection measures for the resident.”
The plan is not only to organize the city’s tourist use homes; It also intends to protect and restore residential use, above all, in the historical center, where there is saturation and pressure more due to the increase in tourism residency. Another goal is to protect trade in the middle and in the external region. For all these claims, regulations are considering other measures. In the historical center, The empty residential buildings will be rehabilitated and presented as a maximum of 15 -year tourist floors. After this term, the building will have a residential use forever. It cannot be present in the commercial streets and will have to protect (form index). It is, according to Conserory, a way to increase housing width through abandoned constructions.
To restore residential use in the center, the plan is considering urban tools Which facilitates the transformation of buildings. It is available to the owners’ advantages to convert high use (offices) in residential use with incentives such as increased construction so that the transformation can be profitable. Another measure is Allowing the transfer of private endowment buildings and indexing to my residential To allocate them to homes at reasonable or collective prices. They estimate that there are about 215 properties of these characteristics in the city center, such as monasteries, schools, or sports centers that no longer have enough demand in the environment in which it is located. It has been proven that the maximum annual lease income will not be able to exceed 30 % of the average family income in the neighborhood where the building is located. However, in some areas APR 00.01 such as Almagro, Ibiza, Jerónimos or Recoletos, rents will remain high due to the high population income.
Maintaining commercial activity
Another of the main lines of the plan exists Trade protection in the historical and surrounding center. For this, in API 00.01, it is not allowed to convert commercial buildings into tourist floors. Yes, buildings can be converted in homes provided that they are not found in commercial axes. At this stage, another amendment was made to allow VUT to be executed in the buildings that are not residing in the historical center. The text that was subject to general information was that it could be established at the highest plants and ban on the ground floor and the lower floors with the intention of protecting the commercial socket. Now, if the third building (offices) is at the levels of use A and B, which are the most residential areas within the Aper 00.01 as streets of lavapiés, malasaña or Chueca, there may be tourist floors. The document claims that “the prohibition of high use of housing on the ground floor can be excessive because commercial buildings are scarce.”
In the external area to April 00.01, commercial buildings are not allowed to be transferred to tourist homes On the roads created by the general urban planning plan as a triple. For example, Marcelo Ura, Bravo Morillo or General Ricardos; Avenida de interiías from its beginning to M-40, LUópez de Hoyos regions, Cartagena and Calle alcalá, or on Paseo de Extreadura from Alfonso CEA to the Segovia Bridge.
After the allegations of the existing plan, too The definition of the exclusive building and the conditions of using tourist floors was accurate. It is recognized that it can be implemented in any of the blocks that make up part of a group of buildings “Whenever they have independent and independent functional access.” That is, if there are several blocks in the building, the residence can be implemented in an exclusive building only in any of them fulfilling the specific conditions.
After the penultimate step of its treatment, the plan will take a vote and exchange in an extraordinary plenary session in the Palacio de Cibels on May 21. According to the temporary evaluation, The new plan will enter into force, almost, in August 2025, after obtaining approval Madrid community.
