City Planning Commission. Specifically, what do these threats mean? Powers of the Commission working groups

A wonderful medieval table of distances of capitals from the city of Moscow In the book by N.A. Borisovskaya “Ancient engraved maps and plans of the 15th–18th centuries” (Moscow, 1992) has an interesting chapter entitled “Table of distances of various capitals from Moscow.” This table, as the author writes,

Not many Muscovites, who have not personally encountered yet another urban planning “mistake” in the form of infill construction directly in their own yard, have thought about how, in fact, such decisions are made in the main Russian city. For many years, the city authorities kept under lock and key documents that a priori should be open to all Muscovites. And now the secret decisions on the development of the city, secretly made by the top of the city bureaucracy, operating throughout the entire period of Sobyanin’s rule, finally became public knowledge. Naturally, against the will of Sobyanin’s entourage.

The information publication "Fronde TV" (whose journalists are already being threatened - therefore we recommend that all fellow citizens participate in the dissemination and analysis of materials, as well as promptly download them to their personal archive - we provide links at the end of this article) have published documents that the city authorities have kept all these years in the strictest confidence. These documents were not provided to anyone: neither ordinary citizens nor deputies.
We are talking about the Protocols of the interdepartmental Urban Planning and Land Commission - a permanent body of the Moscow Government, where at weekly meetings chaired by Sergei Sobyanin, decisions on construction throughout the capital are made. It is on the basis of these documents that historical buildings and green spaces have been destroyed and continue to be massively destroyed, squatter construction is legalized and “launching sites” for the notorious renovation are determined.

The Urban Planning and Land Commission (TLC) was created in November 2010 on the initiative of Sergei Sobyanin and was officially called upon to function as a recommendatory body considering issues in the field of construction in Moscow. But very quickly this commission began to work behind closed doors, making decisions on a total change in the appearance of the entire capital, without the participation of representatives of the scientific, expert, local history and environmental communities. In fact, the commission does not recommend, but obliges the authorities state power in the field of architecture, ecology, protection of cultural heritage to implement certain projects.

Over the 8 years of existence of the GZK:
- hundreds of decisions have been made on the demolition of historical buildings and new construction in their place, among them - the Privalov House on Sadovnicheskaya Street, the Melgunov estate on the old Arbat, the Serafimovich House of Culture in Sredny Tishinsky Lane, the house of the merchant Mikhailov on Bolshaya Dmitrovka, the Taganskaya ATS on Pokrovsky Boulevard, the Neklyudova estate on Malaya Bronnaya, the Red Cross military hospital on Krasnokazarmennaya Street, apartment buildings on Varvarka Street and hundreds and hundreds more addresses.
- development of more than 500 parks and green areas is permitted, including “Friendship Park” at the River Station, “Dubki” Park, “Torfyanka” Park, “Kuskovo” Forest Park, and a park on Zhivopisnaya Street.
- hundreds of buildings of architectural and memorial value were given for reconstruction, and in fact for complete or partial demolition, including the Bolkonsky House from “War and Peace” on Vozdvizhenka, the swimming pool of the Luzhniki Olympic complex, the apartment buildings of Kuznetsov and Korolev in the Ordynsky cul-de-sac , Sokolov-Sibiryakov estate in Voznesensky Lane, historical quarter on Sofiyskaya Embankment, opposite the Kremlin.
- more than a thousand unauthorized construction projects have been legalized throughout Moscow. Instead of taking administrative and criminal measures against persons erecting buildings without permits, the commission after a short time stamps decisions “on the preservation of objects that have signs of unauthorized construction.”

Contrary to the requirements of Article 24 of the Constitution Russian Federation, the decisions of the Commission are kept in the strictest confidence and are not made available to citizens. Deputies are also denied access to different levels. Thus, it is physically impossible to find out about the decisions made at the meeting. Only occasionally does the mayor's press service report on certain events to the commission, leaving behind the scenes thousands of decisions made contrary to the opinions of city residents and the professional community.

In 2016, the Human Rights Council under the President of Russia also spoke about the opacity and lack of accountability of the commission, which called for its abolition. At the same time, a call to liquidate the GZK was made at a rally and social movement"Arkhnadzor", however, large developers spoke out against it. Of course, human rights activists are confident that this should not be the case. Any decisions taken by the authorities must be available for review and discussed with citizens.

A quick analysis of the documents provided anonymous source capital of the mayor's office, allows us to establish that the GZK operates like a conveyor belt. Meetings are held every week, and at each meeting several dozen issues are considered, sometimes more than a hundred. These issues include all construction projects in Moscow, including decisions on development of several million square meters square meters. Moreover, each meeting of the commission usually lasts no more than an hour. That is, on average, about a minute is spent on considering one question.
For example, the meeting of the powerful body on April 14, 2012 lasted 50 minutes, and 64 issues were considered. And the meeting of the State Land Committee on December 27, 2013 lasted 35 minutes, and 75 issues were considered. Consideration of each of the issues brought up for discussion by the all-powerful commission took, on average, exactly 28 seconds. During this time, it is impossible to even voice a decision, let alone discuss it.
But that's not even the most interesting thing. From the documents received, it becomes clear that after the protocols are signed, amendments can be made to them in a completely arbitrary manner, seriously changing the project in the interests of the developers. Among these changes: reduction in area kindergarten almost 2 times; reducing the number of parking spaces by 10 times; increase in building height by almost 3 times; change of purpose land plot from “improvement and landscaping” to “placement shopping facility” and even “initiating changes to federal laws.”
All these changes are made after a very long period of time after the approval and signing of the protocols (for example, in one of the cases this happened after 3 years) by letters from individual officials on behalf of unknown persons. To give these changes a semblance of legitimacy, they are sometimes shyly called “technical corrections.”

Similar changes were made to the vast majority of SLC protocols for 2012. It cannot be ruled out that similar changes have also been made or will be made in the future to any other protocols of the commission.

We publish for downloading the Protocols of the Urban Planning and Land Commission from November 2010 to May 2018 (due to complaints, the links to urban planning documentation have been corrected - double-checked again, they all work):

SLC minutes for 2018 (from January to May inclusive):

We encourage you to download and analyze these materials (primarily for your districts), and we also ask you to participate in the dissemination of this collection of “secret” SLC protocols. Information should be available to the maximum number of Muscovites! This is the only way to ensure a reasoned protest against Sobyanin’s clandestine “swings” to developers, as well as protection for journalists, who are already under pressure in the form of telephone threats and demands to remove the SLC protocols from public access.

— allowed development of more than 500 parks and green areas, including “Friendship Park” at the River Station, “Dubki” Park, “Torfyanka” Park, “Kuskovo” Forest Park, and a park on Zhivopisnaya Street.

— given over reconstruction, but actually for complete or partial demolition, hundreds of buildings of architectural and memorial value, including the Bolkonsky House from “War and Peace” on Vozdvizhenka, the swimming pool of the Luzhniki Olympic complex, the apartment buildings of Kuznetsov and Korolev in the Ordynsky deadlock, the Sokolov-Sibiryakov estate in Voznesensky Lane, the historical quarter on Sofia embankment, opposite the Kremlin.

— more than a thousand legalized unauthorized construction projects throughout Moscow. Instead of taking administrative and criminal measures against persons erecting buildings without permits, the commission after a short time stamps decisions “on the preservation of objects that have signs of unauthorized construction.”

Contrary to the requirements of Article 24 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the Commission's decisions are kept in the strictest confidence and are not available to citizens. Deputies of various levels are also denied information. Thus, it is physically impossible to find out about the decisions made at the meeting. Only occasionally does the mayor's press service report on certain events to the commission, leaving behind the scenes thousands of decisions made contrary to the opinions of city residents and the professional community.

The Human Rights Council under the President of Russia also spoke about the opacity and lack of accountability of the commission in 2016, which called for its abolition. At the same time, the public movement “Arkhnadzor” also spoke at a rally with a call to liquidate the State Land Construction Committee, but large developers spoke out against it.

The information publication Fronde TV is confident that it shouldn't be like this. Any decisions taken by the authorities must be accessible and discussed with citizens. These documents were provided to us by an official of the Moscow Government, and today we are publishing all the Minutes of the State Land Control Committee from its foundation in 2010 to May 2018.

A quick analysis of these documents reveals that GZK works like a conveyor. Meetings are held every week, and at each meeting several dozen issues are considered, sometimes more than a hundred. These issues include all construction projects in Moscow, including decisions on development of several million square meters. Moreover, each meeting of the commission usually lasts no more than an hour. That is, on average, about a minute is spent on considering one question.

For example, the meeting of the State Reserve Committee on April 14, 2012 lasted 50 minutes, and 64 issues were considered. And the meeting of the State Land Committee on December 27, 2013 lasted 35 minutes, and 75 issues were considered. Consideration of each question took exactly 28 seconds. During this time, it is impossible to even voice a decision, let alone discuss it.

But that's not even the most interesting thing. From the documents received it becomes clear that after signing the protocols they can absolutely edits can be made at will, seriously changing the project in the interests of developers. Among these changes: reducing the area of ​​the kindergarten by almost 2 times; reducing the number of parking spaces by 10 times; increase in building height by almost 3 times; changing the purpose of a land plot from “improvement and landscaping” to “placing a retail facility” and even “initiating changes to federal laws.”

On October 30, 2014, a meeting of the commission (GZK) was held under the chairmanship of the Mayor of Moscow, Mr. S.S. Sobyanin. In paragraph 34 “On the draft urban development plan for the land plot at the address: Moscow, st. B. Ordynka, 8, building 1,2,3,4; pp. 3-13, 18, Kadashevsky deadlock, no. 3”, dedicated to the well-known problem of development of block 401, where the 17th century Church of the Resurrection of Christ in Kadashi and three historical city estates are located.

The commission decided to “agree with the drawing up of an urban development plan for the land plot at the above address. Despite the apparent success of the decision, covered up by the previous resolution of the Moscow Government 775-PP dated December 19, 2012, in fact, a decisive attempt is being made to complete the long-delayed construction project in favor of a private developer, who intends to more than compensate for its losses of previous years at the expense of the enormous cost of buildings near the Kremlin.

Everything looks good: it provides for the “preservation of a cultural heritage site...”, etc. All the necessary “polite” phrases about heritage protection have been said. However, several points immediately show the anti-legal, hidden essence of the decision. First of all, the commission approves the area of ​​the facility - 13,500 square meters. m with the height of the planned buildings being 14.5 meters. And then it is reported that “ total area existing facilities - 5,700.9 sq.m."! That is, the developer more than doubles the existing area! Legislation allows only regeneration within historical parameters (Federal Law 73, Article 34, clause 2: “A protection zone is a territory within which, in order to ensure the safety of a cultural heritage site in its historical landscape environment, a special treatment land use, limiting economic activity and prohibiting construction, except for the application of special measures aimed at preserving and regenerating historical and urban planning or natural environment cultural heritage site").

It is clear to everyone that such an increase in area is possible only with a clear violation of historical parameters hidden from the public. However, they are quite well known to specialists, since this issue has been discussed for a very long time. The historical height of the building before its illegal demolition in 2003-2010 did not exceed 10 meters, since the entire building consisted exclusively of two-story buildings. So the height of 14.5 m, approved by the “experts” of the commission, is absolutely untrue and was invented for profit. This contradiction is a significant violation of Art. 51 of the Town Planning Code of the Russian Federation (Ninth Arbitration Court of Appeal, Resolution No. 09AP-29606/2010-AK dated February 16, 2011, Case No. A40-150012/09-122-1135).

A huge area will also be obtained by filling a tiny plot of land with a crowded mass of new buildings that are completely inconsistent with the historical layout. After all, experts are actually well aware that in block 401 near the temple there were only three estates with plots called “homesteads”. This was confirmed by modern land surveying in 2007. Everyone knows that according to the law, construction allows only the regeneration of lost buildings, in in this case- estates, which, of course, do not provide as much large area. That's the whole secret. In addition, the commission also envisages some kind of “demolition of dissonant objects.” What these “dissonant objects” are and who defined them as such remains a mystery. And it is not surprising - despite the law and public demands, the development project was not discussed at public hearings, as again required by law.

Contrary to the results of studies conducted on block 401 back in 1990 (Historical and architectural survey of the center of Moscow, survey area Zamoskvorechye, block 401, Mosproekt-2 Workshop No. 17) and in 2000 (Historical and architectural reference plan. Territory of the Church of the Resurrection in Kadashi, Mosproekt-2 Workshop No. 17), it is indicated that the existing development “does not represent historical and cultural value.” And this is stated about the very center of Moscow, in the protected area of ​​the Kremlin, in the security zone! It is also stated that the historical buildings “are characterized by a low degree of preservation of the historical structure”, but this does not take into account that it was illegally and deliberately destroyed during 2003-2010 in the interests of the developer. The word “regeneration” is not even used once! But it is indicated that certain “accommodation objects” of arbitrary size are allowed. Thus, someone wants to “quietly” under the nose of the Kremlin, where ancient monasteries are being restored, to profit from illegal construction in the Kremlin’s protected area! It is clear that with such decisions from protected area the greatest spiritual, historical, cultural center nothing remains, even with the restoration of the ancient Kremlin monasteries. As for Mr. Sobyanin, he is not an expert in this field and, willy-nilly, must trust his assistants, who are not expensive historical heritage capital Cities. A historical city- not just a street... It’s not hard to guess what this state of affairs can lead to. Well, if our people need own story, let him protect her himself. And if it cannot protect, then no one needs their own history. Only without history we don’t have a future, because the future is not built from scratch, we need to respect our ancestors and cherish their memory. And for a normal person this is more expensive than money.

Confident when conducting genuine scientific restoration of the specified quarter in the architectural style of the 17th century, adapting the buildings of merchant estates to modern needs, i.e. Russian-style hotel apartments, rental premises, conference rooms, child care facilities, etc. Moscow could acquire a tourist cluster, a museum of architecture under open air and receive exceptional financial benefits to the capital's budget.
