Miaoli's Sanyi Township urban plan approved, releasing land for development

A significant urban planning review for Sanyi Township in Miaoli County has been approved by the Ministry of the Interior's Urban Planning Committee. This decision marks a crucial step in revitalizing the area, which has long faced development constraints due to public facility land designations.

The approved plan will release approximately 1.1 hectares of land for residential and commercial development. This move is particularly aimed at addressing the chronic shortage of parking spaces that plagues Sanyi, especially during peak tourist seasons. The development is also expected to improve traffic flow within the township.

Miaoli County Magistrate Chung Tung-chin emphasized the county's commitment to "returning land to the people, activating land, and fostering community well-being." He stated that the long-term designation of public facility reserve land had restricted land utilization and infringed upon landowners' rights. The successful review of the Sanyi plan is seen as a realization of land justice, balancing urban development with citizens' property rights.

The plan involves revising 17 public facility reserve plots. Upon implementation, it will facilitate the acquisition of green spaces, plazas with parking, and roads through integrated development. Additionally, it will create new residential and commercial zones, providing vital space for local economic growth. The County's Department of Industrial Development is now working on revising the plans and conducting further public exhibitions before submitting them for final approval.
