Zoning of the Vallentigny PLU

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》明确了地方规划方案中受规制的四类区域（条款编号R.123-5至R.123-8）：城市建成区（U）、待城市化区域（AU）、农业区域（A）以及自然与林业区域（N）。上述区域需通过一份或多份规划图纸划定边界，且每类区域均配套有专属规制细则。 针对各区域的附属条例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、农业或林业作业以及仓储功能等。 上述四类区域的划定范围受条款R.123-9约束。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承载力以服务拟入驻的建筑，则可归类为城市建成区（U类区域）。 市镇范围内的自然区域可归类为待城市化区域（AU类区域），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服务拟入驻的建筑。 待城市化区域（AU类）分为两类：可建设区域与不可建设区域。 市镇范围内的所有区域，无论是否配套有设施，若因农业用地的农艺、生物或经济价值而需要予以保护，则可归类为农业区域（A类区域）。 市镇范围内的所有区域，无论是否配套有设施，若因场地品质、自然栖息地、景观及其价值（尤其是美学、历史或生态层面的价值）、林业作业的存在，或其本身属于自然区域属性而需要予以保护，则可归类为自然与林业区域（N类区域）。 在自然与林业区域（N类区域）内部，还可细分为：可开展建筑权转让的边界范围（COS转让），以及规模与承载力受限、仅在符合选址要求与密度标准的前提下方可开展建设的区域。
