17 Wissenschaftstag 200717 Kommentierter Gesetzesentwurf Framework Draft: Law on Denationalization of Urban Construction Land Note: The following Framework Draft Law on Denationalization reflects statutory language based on the models for denationalization developed and agreed upon with the Working Group. It does not claim to be an exhaustive Draft Law as further elaborations on specific details will be required. The present Framework Draft Law is intended to serve as a facilitating basis for such discussions. General Provisions Article 1. (Subject Matter) This Law shall regulate the denationalization of urban construction land, as defined by law, which has been seized on the basis of, as a result of, or in connection with enforcement of the legal regulations on nationalization, sequestration, confiscation, expropriation and other enactments with the same effect, that had been promulgated and enforced since 9 March 1945, without full and prompt compensation, and which, at the time of entry into force of this Law is owned by the state or social property. The formulation “[…] seized on the basis of, as a result of, or in connection with enforcement of the legal regulations […]” is intended to cover all acts of seizure by state authorities, whether directly based on the regulations mentioned in Article 5 or seizures undertaken in connection with nationalization. However, more specific language could be introduced to further clarify the scope. Article 2. (General Principles & Obligations) In seeking to rectify the consequences of nationalization and as a measure to re-institute private ownership in accordance with international human rights standards and the need to strengthen legal certainty (rule of law) in property relations as well as strengthening sustainable economic development, denationalization shall be based on the following principles: ……………..

20 Wissenschaftstag 200720 Component 4: Reform of land use planning and zoning provisions Component-Leader: Arthur Kanonier Österreichische MitarbieterInnen: Karim Gies (Universität Salzburg) Thomas Dillinger (TU Wien) Gerhard Schimak (TU Wien) Organisation: 12 Workshops in Belgrad

21 Wissenschaftstag 200721 Key aspects of the reform Actual planning system for spatial planning activities Clearly arranged structure of land use planning and a framework for spatial development activities - Regulations and land use activities should take into account EU- regulations and goals (e.g. sustainable development) - All building activities should be in conformity with land use planning and zoning provisions - Disconnection of land use planning and ownership  Spatial planning programs as legal basis for inexpensive and short building permits

22 Wissenschaftstag 200722 Goals for a reform Improved acceptance of legally binding planning regulations - Understandable and transparent decision making process - Fair process with possibilities to participate Hierarchical Planning System - Limited number of plans on national, regional and local level - Subordination of planning activities on lower levels (top down approach) - Intensive participation of subordinated affected persons and institutions (bottom up approach) Legal and transparent land use framework for land owners Specified goals and principles for land use planning

23 Wissenschaftstag 200723 Key aspects of the reform Updating and renewal of goals and principles in spatial planning Supervisory authority’s approval of local spatial plans Programs instead of plans National planning without preliminary activities on municipal level Strengthening of regional planning Simplification of local spatial plans - reform / reorganization of land use planning Definition of (individual) utilisation categories General criterias for zoning Inclusion of greenland Separation of land use and questions of ownership Clear legal effects of building land (e.g duty of the municipalities to develop building land with infrastructure, building obligation)

26 Wissenschaftstag 200726 Planning Procedure From a legal point of view („rule of law“) it is basically required to structure the procedure of the planning process clearly. The distribution of tasks between the authorities, planners and other participants (private parties, other authorities and interest groups) must be determined legally as far as possible. As spatial planning is carried out by different planning authorities on different levels (national, regional, local) even partially with different goals (general, sectoral), planning procedures must fulfil horizontal as well as vertical functions in cooperation and coordination.
