Question 9378 — land use planning

Summary

The Government is fully mobilized to support the development of small and medium-sized towns by supporting the commercial redevelopment of city centers. In this context, he proposed to the local elected officials of these municipalities the “City heart action” plan, which consists of a partnership support approach to help them strengthen the attractiveness of their territory, by acting from the angle of housing, commerce or the development of public activities and services. The “City heart action” plan, which allows the 222 small and medium-sized towns identified to benefit from aid of 5 billion euros over five years, is the operational pillar of a global strategy, which also includes a legislative pillar: article 157 of law no. 2018-1021 of November 23, 2018 on the development of housing, development and digital technology (ELAN) provides thus the creation of territorial revitalization operations (ORT). These ORTs will make it possible to facilitate the establishment and expansion of businesses in the city center and, conversely, to suspend the registration and examination by the departmental commercial development commission (CDAC) of applications for authorization for commercial operation on the outskirts of municipalities belonging to a public intermunicipal cooperation establishment (EPCI) signatory of the ORT or a neighboring EPCI. This new faculty conferred on the prefect responds to the need for balanced commercial development. It will allow action on a case-by-case basis to ensure the diversity and vitality of downtown businesses. Beyond these measures, the State's action in this area is also exercised through the support it provides to local authorities so that they integrate these considerations into their urban planning documents: providing territorial coherence plans (SCoT) with commercial development documents, generalizing the local intercommunal urban planning plan (PLUI) and articulating it with commercial development requirements. In terms of commercial town planning, the compatibility of CDAC authorizations with the SCoT is also mandatory. Furthermore, Law No. 2018-938 of October 30, 2018 for the balance of commercial relations in the agricultural and food sector and healthy, sustainable food accessible to all aims to rebalance the negotiating power between agricultural upstream and downstream, by renovating, on the one hand, the contractualization between producers and first buyers, and by improving, on the other hand, commercial relations throughout the chain in order to promote a better balance of power and a better distribution of power. value. With this objective of a better balance of power within the sectors, parliamentarians have notably enriched the text to make it possible to better monitor and regulate purchasing agreements. The law thus provides that the competition authority may carry out a posteriori control and a competitive assessment of the implementation of these agreements, on its own initiative or at the request of the Government. Finally, the measurement of the impact of commercial urban planning choices on the agri-food sectors and rural areas in terms of employment, added value and the environment is a complex question which can be addressed based on the reports provided for by this law.
