  • 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.

  • Public consultation on the Lucerne agglomeration programme

    Public consultation on the Lucerne agglomeration programme

    The fifth generation of the Lucerne agglomeration programme (AP LU 5G) includes the towns of Sursee and Sempach for the first time, as well as several new municipalities such as Meierskappel and Neuenkirch. This expansion of the perimeter emphasises the increasing importance of regional cooperation in the sustainable development of settlement and transport structures. The focus of AP LU 5G is on coordinating transport development with settlement planning in order to optimally meet the challenges of growth and mobility in the region.

    Key projects through station and bypass
    The key projects of the LU 5G AP are the Lucerne through station and the A2 Lucerne motorway bypass. These major projects financed by the federal government form the backbone of long-term transport planning in the Lucerne region. In addition, accompanying measures and projects are planned by the canton and municipalities, such as the expansion of parking facilities and the creation of continuous bus lanes, in order to further improve the efficiency and flexibility of the transport system.

    Investments in overall transport and walking and cycling
    The LU 5G AP plans extensive investments in transport and settlement development. Overall transport, including important transport hubs such as the expansion of Ebikon railway station, will receive CHF 216 million in funding up to 2031. Pedestrian and bicycle traffic, with measures to optimise the cantonal bicycle network and improve local recreation, will also be given high priority. Projects in this area will be supported with a total of CHF 129 million.

    Public participation and future steps
    Public participation offers municipalities, experts and interested members of the public the opportunity to play an active role in shaping the AP LU 5G. The comments and suggestions, which can be submitted until 1 October 2024, will be incorporated into the revision and finalisation of the programme. An information event will be held in Rothenburg on 2 September 2024 to explain the draft and the planned measures in detail. Registrations are possible until 28 August 2024.

    The programme will be reviewed and adjusted once the public consultation has been completed. Adoption by the government is planned for 2025, before the AP LU 5G is submitted to the federal government for review.
