Ho Chi Minh City has introduced new regulations to address issues related to mixed-use land and new residential construction.
|
The new regulations focus on areas designated as mixed-use land with multiple functions, including residential, commercial, public facilities, and green spaces. In cases where the specific locations and functions of each land type have not been determined in the 1/2000 master plan, the People’s Committees of the districts, Thu Duc City, and Ho Chi Minh City are responsible for reviewing and proposing adjustments to the 1/2000 plan or initiating the development, appraisal, and approval of detailed 1/500 plans for these areas. This process will help identify specific residential land plots, providing a basis for land-use conversion, granting construction permits, and allowing for land division.
This development marks a significant change, as the city previously did not allow land division for this type of mixed-use and new construction land.
Prior to the issuance of Decision 100, which outlined the conditions for land division, consolidation, and minimum area requirements for different land types in Ho Chi Minh City, effective October 31, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment affirmed that there would be no distinction between residential land in new residential areas and mixed-use areas. Additionally, the requirement for a 1/2000 master plan was eliminated.
Residential land that meets the conditions for access, connectivity to transportation networks, infrastructure, and minimum area requirements is now eligible for land division. The Department is committed to advising the City’s People’s Committee on the issuance of documents guiding land-related regulations, including those on land division, to ensure uniform implementation across localities and protect the rights of citizens to divide their land.
For other types of land where the specific locations and functions have been determined, and the land is zoned for residential use, the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City has directed that any conversion to residential use must comply with relevant planning regulations and be adjacent to existing or newly constructed roads that have been approved and accepted. The land conversion must also align with previously approved planning schemes.
The process for converting land use will follow the provisions of the 2024 Land Law and the regulations of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment. The area of land to be converted will be determined based on the actual needs of each household and individual.
