Valencia's Urban Planning Commission has approved reopening the public information period for the San Miguel de los Reyes Special Plan after incorporating neighborhood objections.

The Special Plan for San Miguel de los Reyes in Valencia has entered a second public exhibition period. The City Council's Urban Planning Commission made this decision due to substantial modifications introduced following neighborhood objections received during the first phase. These changes, which do not significantly affect the environment according to the Local Government Board, require a new citizen review of the document.
Key changes include the removal of a planned fifteen-story residential tower in the northern part of the area and an increase in the protected housing reserve to 31% of the total buildable area. This measure doubles the initial provision, bringing the number of protected housing units to around 200 out of a total of 575 planned.
Urban Planning Councilor Juan Giner highlighted that the resulting plan is "more balanced, with fewer heights, more protected housing, more green space, and an environment befitting the Monastery." The plan's reformulation considered 22 objections from individuals and associations, as well as reports from municipal services and regional and state administrations.
The new proposal eliminates the fifteen-story building in the north, redistributing its buildable area into six and seven-story constructions to reduce the landscape impact. In the same northern area, residential buildings have been removed due to flood risk and replaced by a parking lot.
The document maintains the sports reserve for an eleven-a-side football field north of Ronda Nord, responding to a long-standing neighborhood demand and facilitating pedestrian access. The parking lot initially planned south of the monastery is relocated to create a new green space adjacent to the monument, enhancing its visual protection.
Access to the Monastery will be transformed into a pedestrian axis, with the extension of Avenida de la Constitución reserved for pedestrians and traffic diverted. The southern area will include more green spaces, a new health facility, and a green zone adjacent to the Alquería de Albors, reinforcing the protection of this Local Relevance Asset.
The plan, which governs an area of 136,136 m² and anticipates 575 homes (200 of them protected), with an estimated investment of 86 million euros, will continue its processing until final approval.
