Increased floor area ratio due to public open space creation
Expansion to 787 locations including Ssangmun-Myeonmok-Yeonsinnae
Simplification of floor area ratio system, ‘as of 2000’
In the future, when buildings are built in Seoul, if parks are created that the general public can use, the buildings will be able to be built taller. This is because the Seoul Metropolitan Government has decided to further increase the floor area ratio to 1.2 times (120%) when creating open space.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced the ‘Seoul City District Unit Plan Floor Area Ratio System Reform Plan’ on the 19th, containing these contents. A district unit planning area is an area designated by a city or provincial governor for the planned development of a specific area. There are 787 areas in Seoul, including Ssangmun in Dobong-gu, Myeonmok in Jungnang-gu, and Yeonsinnae in Eunpyeong-gu, accounting for 35% of Seoul’s total area, excluding green spaces, in planned areas.
According to the reform plan, the application of the upper floor area ratio for the creation of open space, which was only allowed in semi-industrial areas such as factories, will be expanded to all district-level planning areas. Open space refers to a space where a building owner has decided to provide part of his land to citizens for use in return for benefits such as an increase in floor area ratio. The upper floor area ratio is the highest floor area ratio applied at this time.
For example, if a park is installed while building a building in a semi-industrial area, the floor area ratio will increase up to 800% by receiving public notification incentives in addition to the Seoul city standard floor area ratio (600%). According to this revision, if parks are provided in all district-level planning areas in the future, the floor area ratio will increase from 800% to a maximum of 960%, which is 1.2 times more. This is because the added incentive through the creation of open space has increased to a maximum of 120%. The reform plan will be applied from future district unit plan decisions or changes.
In addition, it was decided to abolish the regulation on lowering the standard floor area ratio in district unit planning areas and unify it with the ordinance floor area ratio. The standard floor area ratio for distribution considering roads and infrastructure in the district unit plan is 100 to 300 percentage points lower than the Seoul city ordinance floor area ratio. By unifying this with the floor area ratio of the ordinance, it became possible to build taller buildings. Furthermore, if you introduce robot-friendly facilities that comply with city policies, you can receive incentives increased by up to 110%.
The floor area ratio system, which differed even in the same area depending on the time of change in use area, will also be integrated. In the district unit planning area, the allowable floor area ratio was 800% for commercial areas whose use areas were changed before 1991, while the allowable floor area ratio was applied at 630% for areas whose use areas were changed after 1991, causing confusion. The city simplifies the standard for change of use zone to 2000. Depending on the standard point adjustment, a floor area ratio increase of 100 to 300 percentage points will be applied to a total of 4.22 million ㎡ of land. An official from the Seoul Metropolitan Government said, “Most of the commercial areas where the floor area ratio is being raised according to the adjustment of the reference point for use areas are the Gangbuk and Gangseo areas.”
