Preliminary Draft of Zoning Plan No. B-Lo 03 F.1 “Lobeda-Süd LS 2, 1st Amendment and Addendum” in the Neulobeda district
Early Public Notification in Accordance with Section 3(1) of the German Building Code (BauGB)
On January 22, 2020, the City Council of Jena resolved in a public meeting to amend or expand the “Lobeda-Süd LS 2” zoning plan in the areas shown in color on the site plan.
This involves a largely flat area in the northern part of the planning area, where mitigation and compensation measures have been designated to date, as well as a parcel of land bordering it to the east that is currently used as agricultural meadowland.
The goal of the plan is to develop the existing land reserves for commercial use, while ensuring priority is given to the establishment of manufacturing businesses.
The plan aligns with the current status of the update to the Land Use Plan (FNP). In the draft FNP, which was made available for public review in 2025, the areas designated for development are shown as commercial zones.
