Candelaria Town Hall Approves Changes to Urban Plan
Overview
The Candelaria town hall has approved a series of small but significant changes to its General Urban Plan during a session held in late November 2025. These modifications aim to update zoning rules across several rural and urban areas, facilitating residential development and correcting planning errors.
Key Changes
- Redefining land boundaries for rural settlements such as Los Ăiganos and La Jurada.
- Adjusting street layouts to improve connectivity.
- Granting regulatory clarity for parcels along Calle El Balo and Calle La Piterita.
- Removing restrictions on building types and intensities in certain zones, allowing for more flexible urban growth.
Significant Corrections
- Clarifying property ownership for land designated as religious use, transitioning these from public to private ownership to rectify previous planning errors.
- Updating rules for the Campo de FĂștbol de Igeste de Candelaria, shifting its focus from a sports facility to a recreational area.
Additional Regulations
- Streamlining regulations on street design, building aesthetics, and signage, aiming to unify the districtâs visual identity.
Public Consultation and Suspensions
The town hall has announced a one-month public consultation phase and suspends the issuance of new construction permits during this period to prevent unauthorized developments.
Impact
These adjustments will shape Candelariaâs urban infrastructure and real estate landscape over the coming years, impacting residents, developers, and local authorities alike.
