The issue of distributed rooftop photovoltaic power generation and illegal construction warrants in-depth discussion.
1. What is the maximum size allowed for a rural community comprehensive service center, and are there any specific standards?
Some provinces have documents outlining requirements, but these are not formal standards.
This is considered a technical service building and is subject to regulations on the construction of public buildings. It requires review and management by the Development and Reform Commission, the Finance Bureau, and the General Office Affairs Bureau. The specific scale and construction details are determined by the project approval document.
2. Under which category of land use and sea use classification does the land for hazardous chemical parking lots fall? Is it considered social parking land under transportation facilities? In chemical industrial parks, hazardous chemical parking lots only park empty hazardous material transport vehicles. They are considered supporting facilities of the chemical industrial park.
It should be categorized as industrial land, Class III warehousing, or other transportation facilities under transportation facilities.
During the planning phase, it's impossible to confirm what type of vehicles will be parked. From this perspective, our planning only involves layout, and this actually involves the project level (hazardous chemicals).
Once the project is confirmed as hazardous chemical vehicle parking, choosing a social parking lot within the urban area may not be suitable, as surrounding safety requirements must also be considered.
Such supporting parking lots must be consistent with the purpose of the project they support. They cannot be used independently like social parking lots, and they also have the special attribute of hazardous chemicals.
The definition of social parking lots explicitly excludes parking lots and garages built as supporting facilities for other construction land.
Since the tanks no longer contain chemicals, how can it be considered warehousing and logistics land? It lacks storage function. It should be considered a socially managed parking lot requiring special control.
From a purely planning perspective, using social parking lot code 120803 is acceptable. From a safety control perspective, using Class III warehousing and logistics land code 110103 is more appropriate.
3. How are photovoltaic panels regulated? A complaint was filed regarding a 3.8-meter-high installation affecting neighbor's ventilation and lighting, located on the 8th floor.
A certain area requires a height limit of 2.2 meters or less, and the Development and Reform Commission has standard atlases.
Regulations vary across different areas. Generally, urban management departments handle these issues, not planning departments.
Exemption documents can be issued, but with conditions; heights under 2.2 meters are eligible for exemption.
The management of distributed rooftop photovoltaic systems is severely lacking. Industry authorities only manage registration and grid connection rules, while installation and illegal construction issues are overlooked. Urban management departments handle these matters reactively. The extent of the conflict lies in the installation volume within the municipal area and public supervision, largely depending on local regulations on legal buildings and building adjacency. This is a typical example of fragmented government power.
There must be cities that have done well; we welcome everyone to provide relevant information. Height limits, standard atlases, regulations, technical specifications, and planning permit exemptions are all welcome!
4. A construction project planning permit was issued in 1999, but construction only began in 2005. Was the planning permit still valid in 2005? The construction project planning permit at that time did not specify an expiration date.
It's not necessary to specify it on the permit; provincial regulations clearly stipulate this.
The construction permit was invalid in 2005, making the construction illegal.
5. A township requires a certificate stating that no construction permit is needed for river dredging, slope protection, household access, and rural road paving projects (roads less than 6 meters wide). What are the relevant regulations?
In this situation, only relevant articles from the Planning Law and provincial regulations can be cited.
Within urban and town planning areas, construction units or individuals must apply to the urban or county people's government's urban and rural planning authority or the town people's government designated by the provincial, autonomous region, or municipality directly under the Central Government for a construction project planning permit for the construction of buildings, structures, roads, pipelines, and other projects.
