 <\/p>\n

Article 2<\/p>\n

Purpose and subject matter of the studies of the Programs for the determination of Building Coefficient Reception Zones (Z.Y.S.)
\nThe determination of Building Coefficient Reception Zones (Z.Y.S.) of Article 72 of Law 4495\/2017 is necessary in order to enable the safe operation of the Building Coefficient Transfer institution as a means of compensation for owners whose properties fall under the cases of Article 70 of Law 4495\/2017.<\/p>\n

Z.Y.S. studies are specialized urban planning studies, which may be carried out independently of Local or Special Urban Planning Studies (LUP \u2013 SUP) of Articles 7 and 8 of Law 4447\/2016, when there are special reasons or problems that need to be addressed through expedited procedures, such as:<\/p>\n

The existence of a large number of properties offering a building coefficient under Article 70 of Law 4495\/2017, which are mainly located in protected areas.
\nThe existence of a large number of Building Coefficient Transfer Titles under Article 68 of Law 4495\/2017 that cannot be utilized due to a lack of host properties with building coefficients under Article 71 of the same law.
\nThe procedure and content of the provisions of Article 72 of Law 4495\/2017, as well as Decision No. 72508\/ 1890\/29.7.2021 of the Deputy Minister of Environment and Energy “Technical Specifications for studies to determine Building Coefficient Reception Zones (Z.Y.S. \u2013 Article 72 of Law 4495\/2017)” (B’3544).<\/p>\n

Provided that these studies are carried out independently of the TPS or EPS studies, their proposed provisions may be incorporated into the TPS or EPS being prepared for the respective reference area and shall be institutionalized together with the issuance of the presidential decree (PD) approving the TPS or EPS. The determination of ZYS may be institutionalized following a relevant study and independently, with the issuance of the presidential decree of Article 72 of Law 4495\/2017, the provisions of which are then mandatorily incorporated into the TPS or EPS being prepared for the respective reference area.<\/p>\n

Article 3<\/p>\n
