    Schlieren involves population in overall revision of building and zoning regulations

    The city of Schlieren is working on the overall revision of its building and zoning regulations (BZO), which will determine how the urban area is to be further developed. The previous BZO dates back to 1996, which means that a revision is now necessary, according to a press release. The population is to be actively involved in the overall revision, for which a series of events is also planned.

    The first of two neighbourhood walks will take place on 23 August under the motto “green oases”. The walk on 3 September will then be entitled “Experience building culture”. On 1 October, the city of Schlieren will hold an information event and workshops as a future workshop, before the official online participation takes place between 2 October and 7 November, “where feedback can be incorporated directly into the process”, according to the city of Schlieren. Two neighbourhood dialogues will follow on 22 November and 27 November, as well as the public consultation, planned for the end of the year. In future, the city will provide further information on the overall revision at zukunft-schlieren.ch.

  • Dietikon presents new building and zoning regulations

    Dietikon presents new building and zoning regulations

    The building and zoning regulations of the town of Dietikon are undergoing a complete revision. On 31 October 2024, the town presented the overall revision to the population. The BZO regulates what, where and how can be built in Dietikon in the future. According to a press release, the draft revision is open to the public until 23 December. During this period, all interested parties are invited to submit written comments and suggestions, according to the city’s press release.

    The municipal building and zoning regulations date back to 1987, and Dietikon’s binding municipal structure plan was approved in autumn 2022. This and requirements such as the new planning and building law of the canton of Zurich were the impetus for the revision.

    With this overall revision of the BZO, the city is creating the strategic and building law framework for the renewal and further development of the current settlement structure, according to the city’s press release. Increasing the building density and thus changing the settlement structure in the outer residential neighbourhoods will be avoided in order to protect the green and uniform structures. Instead, the focus is on the development of central areas that are accessible by public transport, such as the city centre or the city boulevard.

    According to the city, the desired development should not simply offer more space for residents and employees, but also contribute to a higher quality of settlement. There are various specifications for private open and recreational spaces as well as measures to promote biodiversity and improve the urban climate.

  • Schlieren launches complete revision of building and zoning regulations

    Schlieren launches complete revision of building and zoning regulations

    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.
