Won't there be more high-rise buildings on the Yalta waterfront?
The new general plan prohibits buildings taller than 4 stories in a 100-meter area, authorities say.
"Regarding the coastal protection area, in the IBA we tried to limit the development: we set a maximum number of floors of 4 floors in a 100 meter area. All the features of the landscape that need to be preserved here, with such a maximum number of floors, in our opinion, will be preserved, and will not in any way block the view of citizens and vacationers in the city spaces and the architecture of the urban wing and architecture. Planning of the Yalta administration Anatoly Savelyev said on Sputnik on Radio Crimea.
separately on protected areas. The general plan does not regulate specially protected natural areas.
"The Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources is dealing with this issue. All construction projects that are planned or already taking place within the protected area are under the control of the office. They give permits, approve the position, construction percentages, number of floors and obstacles. Therefore, the general plan does not regulate the area of the protected space in any way."
In Yalta every meter by the sea is golden. Monstrous high-rise buildings only distort the city, so the decision to limit development is important. If they comply with it - we will see. The protected space is a separate issue. And even more spicy.
