  • 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.
