Public announcement

Urban land-use planning for the town of Idar-Oberstein, Weierbach district;

Development plan We-20 "Pfarracker" - 2nd amendment;

Resolution on the preparation of the draft in accordance with Section 1 (3) and Section 2 (1) of the German Building Code (BauGB) and public participation in accordance with Section 3 (2) BauGB - draft open to the public

At its meeting on December 10, 2025, the city council of Idar-Oberstein decided to initiate the procedure for the 2nd amendment to the development plan We-20 "Pfarracker" in accordance with Section 2 (1) BauGB.

With the amendment to the development plan, individual textual stipulations are to be adapted to the current requirements of modern residential construction and to the 1st amendment that has already been made. The main features of the planning remain unaffected; no changes are made to the plan drawing. In particular, the aim is to open up the area to contemporary forms of construction (including flat roofs, modern façade materials) and to include additional regulations on climate and species protection.

The plan area is located in the district of Weierbach. The spatial scope of the 2nd amendment encompasses the entire scope of the original development plan with the exception of the recently overplanned cemetery expansion area (1st amendment).

The scope of application covers an area of approx. 10.4 ha and can be seen on the map below.

The amendment of the development plan is carried out in a simplified procedure in accordance with Section 13 BauGB.

The land use plan of the city of Idar-Oberstein depicts a residential area for the plan area. The development plan is therefore developed from the land use plan in accordance with Section 8 (2) BauGB.

In accordance with Sections 13 and 3 (2) BauGB, in the version published on November 3, 2017 (BGBl. I p. 3634), which was last amended by Article 1 of the Act of October 27, 2025 (BGBl. 2025 I No. 257), it is hereby publicly announced that the draft development plan, consisting of the plan drawing and the text section together with the explanatory statement, will be published during the following period
