Milan, July 31 2021 – The City Council approved the provisions relating to the application of Regional Law 18/2019 concerning the recovery of existing ground floors.  

The rooms and rooms on the ground floor can be recovered for exclusively residential, tertiary or commercial use and the minimum heights are those envisaged by the health and hygiene regulations for the specific intended use of the rooms and rooms. For landscape protection, health and hygiene, soil protection and hydrogeological risk needs, the resolution identifies some situations in which legal provisions are not applied. 

The provision therefore excludes areas and properties falling into the following categories: porticoes, pedestrian tunnels or even partially open surfaces; spaces intended for parking, stopping and maneuvering vehicles; access spaces to buildings and properties and related appurtenances; rooms and premises subject to public use easements; rooms and rooms created for public or general interest; the properties included in the buffer zones of the hydrogeological network and in the buffer zones of the catchment wells for drinking water use; the spaces intended for waste disposal.  

Properties already subject to specific regulation of the Service Plan of the current PGT and spaces already subject to agreements with the Municipality of Milan are also excluded from the application of the law, since the reduction of the surfaces intended for services of public or general interest it would affect the collective interest linked to territorial endowments.  

The application of the regional regulation on the recovery of the ground floors is however excluded for the parts of the territory subject to reclamation operations, in the absence of environmental conformity to the proposed use. Among the other indications established by the resolution, the obligation to obtain authorization from the competent Administrations in the case of properties subject to protection restrictions and the non-transferability of ground floor surfaces recovered pursuant to Regional Law.
