Zoning of the PLU of La Saulsotte

The Urban Planning Code defines four types of areas regulated in the local planning plan (R.123-5 to 8): urban areas (U), areas to be urbanised (AU), agricultural areas (A) and natural and forest areas (N). These areas shall be demarcated on one or more graphic documents. A regulation is attached to each area. The by-law may lay down different rules, depending on whether the purpose of the construction relates to housing, hotel accommodation, offices, commerce, crafts, industry, agricultural or forestry operations or warehouse functions. These categories are limited (Art. R.123-9).The areas already urbanised where existing or under construction public facilities have sufficient capacity to serve the buildings to be installed are classified as U-areas.The natural areas of the municipality may be classified as AU zones, which are intended to be opened for urbanisation depending on whether or not the existing equipment on the periphery is sufficient to serve the buildings to be installed. There are two types of AU zone: “constructible” and “inconstructible” areas.Can be classified as zones A, the areas of the municipality, whether or not equipped, to be protected due to the agronomic, biological or economic potential of agricultural land.Can be classified as N zones, the areas of the municipality equipped or not, to be protected either by reason of the quality of the sites, natural habitats, landscapes and their interest, in particular from the aesthetic, historical or ecological point of view, either the existence of a forestry operation or their nature as natural areas.- Within the N zones, can be: perimeters in which possibilities for the transfer of the right to build can be carried out (transfer of COS),- areas of limited size and capacity where construction is possible under the condition of implantation and density.《城市规划法典》（Urban Planning Code）在本地规划方案中规定了四类受监管区域（条款编号R.123-5至R.123-8）：城市区域（urban areas，缩写U）、待城市化区域（areas to be urbanised，缩写AU）、农业区域（agricultural areas，缩写A）以及自然与森林区域（natural and forest areas，缩写N）。上述四类区域需通过一份或多份图示文件完成划定，每类区域均附带对应的监管规则。地方配套法规可根据建设用途的不同制定差异化规则，建设用途涵盖住宅、酒店住宿、办公、商业、手工业、工业、农林生产活动以及仓储功能等，且上述区域分类的适用范围受条款R.123-9的限定。 已完成城市化的区域，若其现有或在建的公共设施具备足够服务能力以满足待建设建筑的需求，则归类为U类区域。 市镇的自然区域可归类为AU类区域（AU zones），此类区域是否开放用于城市化建设，取决于其周边现有配套设施是否足以满足待建设建筑的需求。AU类区域分为两类：可建设区域与不可建设区域。 市镇内的所有区域，无论是否配备配套设施，凡因农地所具备的农艺、生物或经济潜力而需要予以保护的，均可归类为A类区域。 市镇内的所有区域，无论是否配备配套设施，凡因以下任一情形需要予以保护的，均可归类为N类区域：一是场地品质、自然栖息地、景观及其美学、历史或生态价值；二是存在林业生产活动，或其本身属于自然区域。 - 在N类区域内，还可进一步划分为：可开展建筑权转让的边界区域（transfer of COS）； - 规模与承载能力受限的区域，此类区域需满足布局与密度要求后方可开展建设。
