The civic initiative, Chance for Center, has raised concerns regarding development plans within the Center municipality, specifically pointing to the proposed detailed urbanistic plan (DUP) for the Barutana area. According to the group, the inclusion of this DUP on the agenda of the Center Municipality Council suggests a potential deviation from established urban guidelines. The core concern centers on the assertion that the proposed plan’s parameters may exceed those established by the General City Plan, potentially resulting in the creation of a new, vulnerable erosion zone within the urban area.
This apprehension is supported by existing municipal documentation. The municipality’s own Energy and Climate Plan has previously designated the Barutana site as an area susceptible to erosion. This plan recommends that the land be utilized for establishing high-quality forestation rather than the construction of residential buildings.
Furthermore, the project program that served as the basis for developing the DUP reportedly contains language indicating that protection and rescue measures for this specific area are considered a “mandatory measure.”
The initiative emphasizes that the potential for development in this area must be weighed against its environmental fragility. The community group argues that prioritizing conservation and ecological stability—as suggested by the municipal climate plans—should take precedence over development that could compromise the structural integrity of the urban center. The discussion highlights a critical need for alignment between ambitious urban development goals and the long-term environmental chance of the area, urging the municipality to adopt sustainable planning practices.
