The Alzira City Council has approved the Delimitation of Territorial Impact Minimization Zones document, a key tool to organize 2,745 homes built irregularly on non-developable land.

This technical and legal document will serve as a basis for regularizing the situation of homes built outside the urban planning regulations in the municipality, provided they were fully completed before August 20, 2014, according to regional legislation. The aim is to address the issue of constructions lacking basic services or located in areas with environmental or safety risks.
The approval took place during a plenary session on May 27. The document, based on the 'Guiding Manual for Territorial Impact Minimization' from the Generalitat, identifies buildings eligible for minimization procedures.
The study, drafted by architect José Vicente Gregori Ferrer, estimates a total of 2,745 homes on non-developable land. Of these, 481 are distributed in 22 clusters that can be addressed through a collective procedure via a Special Plan for Territorial Regularization and Minimization (PEMIT). Isolated buildings can individually apply for a Declaration of Individualized Situation (DSI).
Alzira is among the Valencian municipalities with the most significant issues regarding residential buildings on non-developable land. The document, which is not a planning instrument, will support municipal departments in processing future plans and neighborhood applications.
The Councilor for Finance, Contracting, and Urbanism, Andrés Gomis, highlighted that the document provides information and tools for property owners to understand their home's status and the procedures they can initiate. He emphasized that it establishes "clear and coherent criteria" for the entire municipality, avoiding "arbitrariness" and facilitating administrative work.
Gomis added that this represents a "step forward" in better understanding the local reality, providing legal certainty, reducing territorial impacts, and offering solutions to real problems affecting many families, an issue that has accumulated over decades.
