Remscheid: City plans to use the old parents' house for business!

The city of Remscheid is faced with a significant decision because an elderly lady refuses to sell her parents' home. Despite multiple inquiries from the city, she remains persistent and does not plan to give up her property. This has prompted the city administration to target the last residential building in the area of ​​the Mixsiepen industrial area. As the rga Commercial drives the driving force behind the requirement. The city council will decide on this matter in its meeting on April 10th.

The planned right of first refusal enables the city to buy the primary purchase of land in order to actively shape urban development. This special right of first refusal, in contrast to the general, can be used wider and must serve the "well -being of the general public". According to dejure.org , the right of first refusal includes various applications for certain properties, for example if land is required for public purposes or in the event of urban development.

The Mixsiepen industrial area

The Mixsiepen industrial area extends from Lenneper Straße 164 to the confluence with Bökerhöhe, whereby the western part is already being used commercially. The city administration pursues the goal of developing a coherent commercial area on the remaining commercial areas. This strategy is particularly important because commercially usable areas in Remscheid are rare and therefore there is a high need for suitable land.

The district council has already agreed to the plan, and further committees are planned in March, which will also deal with the topic. However, the special right of first refusal cannot be exercised if the property is sold to family members. In addition, it only applies to purchase contracts that are concluded after the statutes are announced.

legal foundations and deadlines

According to the requirements of the Building Code, the city can exercise its right of first refusal within two months. When exercising, the purposes of the property must be clearly named, as described in the legal provisions. For a comprehensive decision and to strengthen urban development, the city administration carefully checked the legal framework. In this way, the right of first refusal must always justify the well -being of the general public, in particular to cover the living requirements, as the BauGB specifies.

A purchase can escape the right of first refusal under certain circumstances, for example if the use of the property is clearly defined or structural defects that can be removed within a reasonable period. These details are crucial for the concrete implementation of the city's plans and the possibilities of action of the city administration within the ongoing procedure.
