Redevelopment cooperatives and improvement committees in Gwangmyeong's Cheolsan and Haan housing districts in Gyeonggi Province are opposing the city's request to add public rental housing after projects had been planned around other floor-area-ratio incentives. The Cheolsan-Haan Reconstruction Alliance submitted a statement on the 23rd calling for the request's immediate withdrawal and is collecting owners' signatures for a joint petition. The city sent official notices on the 19th to reconstruction associations and designated developers across the area, although earlier material placed the notice on the 21st. The alliance says the March 2024 improvement plan did not include rental housing and that owners had already accepted about 14.8% in land donations: roughly 8% when the area was upzoned from a Class 2 general residential area to a Class 3 general residential area, plus 6.8% linked to applying the maximum floor area ratio. The projects were structured to reach a 330% floor area ratio through optional contributions such as green buildings, zero-energy buildings and intelligent buildings. Gwangmyeong says the request is necessary to provide housing for vulnerable groups and is seeking alternatives through consultations, but residents and project operators remain firmly opposed. First-generation new towns including Bundang, Ilsan and Pyeongchon are watching the dispute because they face similar decisions over public contributions tied to floor-area-ratio incentives.
