The residential purpose is proposed with a maximum size of 6,285 m2, while the commercial purpose is proposed with a maximum size of 1300 m2. The proposal aims to maintain the current commercial space. A common meeting place is proposed to the north of the plan area, covering 424.78 m2. The meeting place will not be public but collectively owned. Parking spaces are located on the ground floor and east of the building. The outdoor areas for residences are mainly located west of the new development. Comments on the proposal must be submitted by April 24.
