AUG-ARQUITECTOS, SLP has presented to the Zucaina City Council (Castellón) the Draft and the Initial Strategic Document of the Specific Modification No.2 of the Urban Land Delimitation Project (PDSU), accompanied by the landscape and economic documents linked to said instrument of planning.
Zucaina is a small town in the province of Castellón, located in a mountainous area and difficult to access, which is why it suffers from all the problems of the Rural system. It is, furthermore, one of the few municipalities in the Valencian Community that only has one PDSU, it appears to have a minimal and reduced planning capacity. The PDSU of Zucaina was approved by agreement of the Territorial Urban Planning Commission of Castellón on July 27, 1989 and was published in the Official Gazette of the Province on August 17 of the same year. Its non-adaptation to the current legal framework, as well as to current demands and expectations, is absolute.
The purpose of the Specific Modification is to reclassify a small area of industrial use, within the margins of the maximum growth calculated by the General Subdirectorate of Territorial and Landscape Planning and included in a report provided to the city council on November 4, 2020. According to the report, the reclassified land intended for use in economic activities must have a maximum surface area of 5,951 m².
In the Modification and in the environmental document that accompanies it, the different alternatives studied for the location of this small sector are studied and weighed, within the framework of a process that has been characterized by transparency and the active participation of neighbors and all agents involved.
The Specific Modification seeks to facilitate the implementation of small local industries that allow a stable population to take root and maintain in a town of very small dimensions, far from the main poles of economic attraction and affected by a serious process of depopulation. All of this, in coherence not only with the current legal framework, but also with the policies that the different Administrations are supposed to promote.
