The draft of the relevant resolution has already been prepared and will be considered by the Bishkek City Council.
According to the information from the document's explanatory note, the changes are made to align the local regulatory act with the updated version of the Land Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, as well as to improve the procedure for purchasing land plots.
The document proposes amendments to the resolution of the city council dated January 14, 2020, No. 139, regarding the procedure for purchasing land for the construction of apartment buildings.
According to the draft, new mechanisms are introduced. In particular, the presence of a pledge agreement will become a mandatory condition for the purchase of the land plot. An alternative is also provided: the transfer of 10% of residential premises in the constructed buildings to municipal ownership.
Additionally, the draft proposes to approve the methodology for calculating the purchase price of land and to optimize interaction between various agencies when considering applications for purchase, excluding excessive procedures in cases where urban planning conclusions are not needed.
It is expected that the proposed changes will improve the transparency of the purchasing process, reduce the time for processing applications, increase revenues to the city budget, and replenish the municipal housing fund.
The document also includes new standard forms of contracts, including for the sale and appraisal.
The adoption of this project will not lead to additional expenses from the local budget. In accordance with the law "On Normative Legal Acts of the Kyrgyz Republic," the document will be submitted for public discussion.
