Article 79. Urban planning requirements for the use of land plots in settlements

Urban planning requirements for the use of land plots are determined by master plans of settlements, designs of detailed planning, plans and rules of development.

When providing land plots, local authorities inform legal entities and individuals on the urban planning requirements for the use of land plots.

When providing (selling) land plots to legal entities and individuals for development, local authorities may establish following urban planning requirements and encumbrances to land plots:

on preparation of the development plan in accordance with the architectural and planning assignment submitted by the territorial divisions of the specially authorized state body;

on landscaping of the common area adjacent to the development project site;

on meeting deadlines for the start and completion of construction of objects.

If the construction of the object is not completed within two years from the date of the start of construction or within the timeframe indicated in the urban planning documentation, the object is considered incomplete.

In case if new development leads to a decrease in the provision of the population of a given development area with appropriate services below the standards provided for by the urban planning norms and rules, land plots may be provided (sold) to legal entities and individuals under the condition of their participation in the construction of additional engineering, transport and social infrastructure facilities.

In the event of the transfer of rights to the land plot to another person, the requirements and encumbrances specified in part three of this article shall hold.

Parts three, four and five of this article do not apply to construction carried out on land plots provided (sold) for individual housing construction.

The documents certifying the right to a land plot must indicate:

territorial zone code established by the building rules;

functional purpose of the territorial zone within which the land plot is located;

the location of the land plot or its part within the boundaries of the protection zones of cultural heritage objects, protected areas and water protection zones, as well as within the boundaries of territories and settlements exposed to natural and man-made emergencies, and other territories, restrictions on the use of which are established by law;
