Agüimes City Council Approves Provisional Land Use Ordinance in Arinaga

Overview

The Agüimes city council has taken a significant step toward urban development by approving a provisional municipal ordinance for land in the industrial sector of Arinaga. This move focuses on the area bounded by Martinete, Yunque, and Cincel streets, aiming to regulate future land use and construction in the P3-Norte industrial zone.

Public Consultation Process

Following the council's approval on January 26, 2026, a 30-day public consultation period has begun. During this time, residents, businesses, and other stakeholders can review the technical documents and official files related to the ordinance. This process ensures transparency and gives the public a chance to provide feedback before finalizing the regulation.

The public notice is published across multiple channels, including:

• The Official Gazette of the Canary Islands
• Local newspapers
• The town hall’s website
• Physical offices

This approach underscores the municipality's commitment to inclusive planning.

Significance of the Move

"Despite this being a procedural step that does not finalize the ordinance, the move is crucial for shaping local development."

This step demonstrates the town’s efforts to balance industrial growth with community input. It aims to ensure that new projects align with urban planning policies and environmental considerations—an essential aspect for residents and businesses eagerly awaiting clear guidelines on land use in this fast-growing zone.
