Schlieren launches complete revision of building and zoning regulations
The city council of Schlieren is requesting a loan of 1,063,000 francs from the municipal parliament for a comprehensive revision of the building and zoning regulations. The goal is to improve the quality of life and work while increasing the city's attractiveness to businesses.
The Schlieren City Council will apply to the municipal parliament for approval of a credit of CHF 1,063,000 for the upcoming overall revision of the building and zoning regulations (BZO), according to the city council news.
The aim of the overall revision is to ensure a high quality of life and work in Schlieren through tailor-made legal foundations, according to the press release. It is also intended to further promote the attractiveness of the location for companies in order to attract new investment. The last comprehensive revision of the BZO of the city of Schlieren was carried out in 1996.
Schlieren has undergone a rapid urban transformation over the past two decades, which has not only shaped the cityscape, but has also significantly influenced the dynamics and priorities of urban development, according to the city council resolution. As the population continues to grow, the demands on the use of limited space will also increase. Further expansion of the settlement area is virtually impossible. The increasing scarcity of space therefore requires denser development throughout the city.
The City Council emphasizes that Schlieren is not only an attractive place to live, but also an important business location. In particular, an innovative biotechnology and healthtech cluster has established itself in recent years. The overall revision of the building and zoning regulations offers the opportunity to further strengthen this potential.
