Article 54. Master plan of a settlement

A master plan of a settlement determines the design solutions for:

main areas of development of the territory of a settlement, taking into account the peculiarities of socio-economic development, natural and climatic conditions and the population forecasts;

zoning of territories and the sequence of their development;

measures to protect the territory of the settlement from the impact of natural and man-made emergencies, development of engineering, transport and social infrastructure;

the ratio of developed and undeveloped territory of the settlement;

territory of the reserve areas for the development of the settlement;

the boundaries of the settlement;

other design solutions for the development of the territory of the settlement.

A master plan of the city and the planning scheme of the suburban area can be developed as a single document on the basis of an agreement between the authorities of adjacent territories.

The development of master plans for medium and small settlements, as well as villages and auls, may be combined with the development of designs of detailed planning in a single document.

A master plan for a settlement, on the territory of which there are objects of cultural heritage, is developed taking into account the historical and architectural plan of the settlement and the protected area of cultural heritage objects.

A master plan of a settlement is developed for an estimated period of twenty to twenty-five years. A master plan of a settlement is valid until its full implementation or the approval of a new master plan.

In the absence of a master plan of a settlement or during the period of development of a new master plan, issues related to the allocation of land plots for current construction within the territory of the settlement shall be coordinated, based on the submission of the district (city) construction department, with the regional architectural and urban planning councils under the Ministry of Construction and Housing and Communal Services of the Republic of Karakalpakstan, the main construction departments of the regions, and the city of Tashkent.

During the development of a new master plan for a settlement, documents related to the land acquisition for the construction of public facilities are subject to additional agreement with the developers.
