Public announcement

Urban land-use planning for the town of Idar-Oberstein, Idar district;

Development plan I-28 "Vollmersbachtal II (center)" - 1st amendment;

Resolution on the preparation of the draft in accordance with Section 1 (3) and Section 2 (1) of the German Building Code (BauGB) and public participation in accordance with Section 3 (2) BauGB - draft open to the public

At its meeting on 11.12.2024, the city council of the city of Idar-Oberstein resolved to initiate the procedure for the 1st amendment to the development plan I-28 "Vollmersbachtal II (Mitte)" in accordance with Section 2 (1) BauGB.

In the course of the coronavirus pandemic, BioNTech was granted temporary approval for an office location in the form of container use on the municipal fairground on Vollmersbachstrasse. However, an extension for a further year can only be promised if the building planning law for the site is amended accordingly. However, as the site is not permanently required by the project developer, the office location is to be secured as a "research and development" special area until June 2030 at the latest. Following this, the area in question is to be returned to municipal use as a fairground in accordance with the provisions of development plan I-28 "Vollmersbachtal II (Mitte)" from 1985.

The planning area is centrally located between the two city centers of Idar and Oberstein and the districts of Göttschied and Regulshausen. The area to be planned for securing the office location includes part of the fairground in Vollmersbachstraße (parcel 47/61 from parcel 33 in the Idar-Oberstein district). It is wholly owned by the city of Idar-Oberstein. The development plan is not intended to change this ownership structure.

The scope of application covers an area of approx. 3,500 square meters and can be seen on the map below.

The development plan will be drawn up using the accelerated procedure in accordance with Section 13a in conjunction with Section 13 BauGB. § 13 BauGB.

The land use plan of the city of Idar-Oberstein shows the plan area as an area for public use with the purpose of "buildings and facilities serving cultural purposes". The preparation of the development plan is therefore not developed in part from the land use plan in accordance with Section 8 (2) BauGB. In this case, the land use plan can be adjusted by means of a correction in accordance with Section 13a (2) no. 2 BauGB; it should also be noted that, in accordance with the intended regulation, the representation of an area for public use will be applicable again from 01.07.2030.

In accordance with Sections 13a, 13 and 3 (2) BauGB, in the version published on November 3, 2017 (BGBl. p. 3634), which was last amended by Article 3 of the Act of December 20, 2023 (BGBl. 2023 I No. 394), public notice is hereby given that the draft development plan, consisting of the plan drawing and the text section together with the explanatory memorandum, will be published during the following period
