Like other municipal authorities, will you set a minimum limit for building houses?

In our standards, we were up to 90m2; But later arrangements have up to 60m2 or 37m2, and some have up to one parking space for three flats.

We have given permission to increase the height of buildings by stacking multiple lots as one more floor is allowed if two or three lots are piled up. And standard certificates are the same.

Which companies made this kind of profit?

For example, UrbanovaThe operator of La Rambla received height advantages for many of its buildings. But without spending a single sun, we got the improvement of the overall general environment.

Will your administration encourage the development of social housing?

We have many developments in Social Welfare Housing (VIS). We welcome this type of construction, but without affecting the quality of life we ​​have achieved in the district, the possibilities of the attention the municipality should give to its community.

For more than 40 years, San Borja has had large VIS buildings. We didn’t object VISWe are against the discomfort we may create with features such as VIS proposing.

What kind of features?

How to build 20 storey buildings where our urban plan specifies only five storeys. We have 33 sites, 573 houses, in a relatively small space.

We are here to protect the quality of life in our community. But even when I made a request to the Ministry of Housing, they ignored me.

What are your requests?

What we wanted was to happily do what the Constitutional Court has now amended. Now the law defines the responsibilities of municipalities, such as zoning, heights, determining where VIS should be done.

What percentage of your district would you allocate to social housing?

We already have 12.7% (territory sent to VIS development projects). We no longer have an obligation to do anything more about social housing. We feel there is a risk of impacting our community.

How many project licenses of this type do you currently have?

When we entered the administration, we found 18 social housing projects, some of which had 20 sites, while others were more comprehensible. We panicked and called the community and asked them to stand firm with us Ministry of Housing. We have received 13 more project licenses so far this year.

Are construction licenses revoked?

not yet. We are now reading the text of the Constitutional Court’s decision. Because the rights we must respect have been earned, but we must remain. There are two licenses we are looking at.

We have found lapses in the approval of the preliminary plans carried out by the Urban Reviewers. For example, we have 15 sites, of which only eight are allowed. Structural projects contain major errors that, under normal conditions, can lead to project cancellation.

Have you evaluated zoning changes?

No, because we have achieved a good growth. Development plans have already been drawn up. There may be some specific zoning changes based on specific needs.

The Deputy Minister of Housing announced that real estate companies will have to pay municipalities to develop VIS projects. What is your status?

Quite the opposite. We don’t want money coming in that way or for those purposes. We want to live well and this is not achieved by money alone.

What are you investing in the district?

We have taken many of them forward in the previous regime. Now we are planning to build two ovals to solve the traffic jam. At this time, after fixing some bike lane issues, we are mapping out the required space.

What will be the investment in this project?

We expect an investment of S/2.5 million for both. Additionally, we are relaunching this year’s redesign of four parks with a competition. This would represent S/30 million, excluding trees and other related costs.
