14 projects approved under density guideline


THE Penang Municipal Council (MPPP) has approved 14 projects under the 87 units per 0.404ha guideline since it came into effect in June, 2010.

State Local Government and Traffic Management Committee chairman Chow Kon Yeow said stringent measures had however been imposed on developers to build the increased density units.

"The guideline is not applicable in established housing areas, World Heritage Site, the area from Tanjung Bungah Hotel to Mar Vista, along Gurney Drive, the bordering areas of Air Putih constituency and Air Itam constituency and re-zoning area.

"The floor area for the guideline is also capped at about 1,400sq ft per unit and MPPP has also imposed a price control for 25% of the units," he said in a press conference at the City Hall in Esplanade yesterday. `

Of the 25%, Chow said developers would have to sell 5% of the units at RM200,000 per unit, 15% at RM300,000 per unit and 5% at RM400,000 per unit.

He said if a developer wished to build under the new guideline, the company would have to build an additional 30% low-cost or low medium-cost units in the same district.

"Developers will also have to submit a traffic impact assessment (TIA) report for the respective projects," he said.

Chow added that currently 109.26ha of land on Penang island was available for the building of units under the new guideline.

He said this worked out to 8,100 units at 30 units per 0.404ha and under the new guideline, 23,490 units could be built.

Council president Datuk Patahiyah Ismail, who was also present, said there would be no capped floor plan size if developers chose to build 30 units per 0.404ha.

"With the 87 units per 0.404ha guideline, we can in a way curb super condos and the issue of expensive prices," she said.

In recent news reports, many Penangites questioned the need for the guideline as they were concerned that higher density may lead to social and environmental problems for the existing residents.

The 14 projects which have been approved are in Jalan C.Y. Choy,

Jalan Macalister, Jalan Seang Teik, Lorong Perak, Sungai Ara, Bukit Gambier (two projects), Lembah Permai, Jalan Jelutong (two projects), Jalan Paya Terubong, Jalan Perak, Jalan Tanjung Tokong and Jalan Pantai Jerejak.

CHINAPRESS 261112 ON 87 UNITS PER ACRE DENSITY

每英畝87單位房屋密度政策 4類別範圍區沒牽涉

 (檳城25日訊)檳州地方政府委員會主席曹觀友宣布,世遺區、遊客區、低密度住宅區、用途轉換地段等地區,不受"每英畝87單位房屋密度"政策影響。

 丹絨武雅海灘酒店至Mar Vista一帶、遊客區如新關仔角、阿逸布爹及亞依淡州選區的分界線一帶不受影響,后者接近升旗山及極樂寺等旅遊景點。

 此外,涉及轉換用途的土地,如農業用途轉為房屋用途后,不能申請提升密度至每英畝87單位。

 從2010年6月28日執行至今,共有14項房屋計劃在此政策下獲批准,另有17項申請在審核中。

 曹觀友說,"每英畝87單位房屋密度"政策只適用于,原本密度為每英畝30單位的中等密度住宅區。

讓購屋者有各選擇

 他今早在檳島市政廳召開記者會時,這么說。在場者包括檳市局主席拿督巴達雅、代秘書邱寶益、建築部主任尤端祥及發展規劃部主任羅斯蘭等。

 他說,符合"每英畝87單位房屋密度"政策的房屋計劃,受限最高興建面積為12萬2000平方尺。

 "上述政策旨在鼓勵興建更多可負擔房屋、讓不同需求購屋者有各種選擇,及讓發展商在興建房屋時能平衡,不只專注在豪華公寓。"

 他說,在每英畝87單位密度政策下的房屋計劃中,25%單位價格受控制,每單位最高售價為40萬令吉(5%單位)、30萬令吉(15%單位)及20萬令吉(5%單位)。

 有關房屋計劃也必須負責在同一個縣興建30%廉價屋或中廉價屋、興建社區基本設施及泊車位,及交通影響評估報告獲批准。

巴達雅:拜吉路高樓計劃 沒呈策劃書不獲批

巴達雅說,早前引起爭議的拜吉路高樓計劃沒提呈策劃書,因此並未被批准。

 她說,發展商不能申請,將已成形(established)的住宅區提高密度至每英畝87單位。

 前年7月,發展商在未獲市政局批准下拆除位于拜吉路的許心美豪宅地段,該地段被指將興建高密度高樓計劃,引起當地居民反對。

 曹觀友也說,自1994年5月1日開始,中廉價屋計劃的密度可達每英畝120單位,其中一例為五條路斯里紹佳娜組屋。

 他說,就算是在前朝時期,每英畝60單位的房屋計劃,也可申請增加30%,但當時沒引起太多爭議。

檳島20年內增逾萬房屋

曹觀友說,在"每英畝87單位房屋密度"的政策下,未來20年內,270英畝檳島中等密度住宅區將增加最多1萬5360個房屋單位。

 "若以原有每英畝30單位計算,上述地段將興建最多8100單位,若申請提高密度至每英畝87單位,將可興建最多2萬3490單位,意味著增加1萬5360個房屋單位,或每年增加768單位。"

 受上述政策影響的270英畝地段,佔檳島土地0.37%,該政策也沒限制可申請提高密度至87單位的土地的最低面積。

 "若該土地為0.5英畝,就可興建43單位,以此類推。"

 曹觀友說,早在上述政策推行前,已有可提高密度至每英畝60單位,甚至100單位(包括土著額外允許單位)的先例。
