Urban living housing eases construction area restrictions starting tomorrow

Starting tomorrow (21st), restrictions on the construction area of urban residential housing will be eased so that urban residential housing in the form of apartments composed of small and medium-sized equilibrium with high demand can be supplied.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said the revision of the Enforcement Decree of the Housing Act and the Enforcement Rules of the Housing Act will be implemented to expand the supply of urban living housing in small and medium-sized equilibrium areas of 85㎡ or less, which are in high demand, as a follow-up measure to the August 8 supply measures.

Until now, only urban living houses composed of households with a dedicated area of 60㎡ or less can be constructed with five floors or more, but the amendment removed the regulation on the construction area limit for small houses.

As a result, it will be possible to construct urban living housing in the form of apartments with five or more floors consisting of households with a dedicated area of 85㎡ or less for households with three to four people, and the existing name of "small house" will be newly classified as "apartment-type house."

In addition, in order to secure sufficient parking space, households with a dedicated area of 60㎡ or more and 85㎡ or less will be required to install at least one parking lot per household, as in general apartment houses.

In addition, if an apartment-type house includes more than 150 households with a dedicated area of more than 60㎡ and less than 85㎡, it is necessary to create community facilities such as senior citizens' centers like ordinary apartment houses.
