The Planning Administration recently announced that the Tel Aviv District Planning Commission had decided to deposit the Givatayim Northwest Plan The plan refers to the area around the western end of Katznelson Street and Aliyat Hanoar Street and includes something that Givatayim residents are not used to - 30 floor towers and some even as high as 45 floors Other such plans are also being drawn up and the question is when will all this actually happen "Daring planning but not certain it can be implemented" The Northwest Plan is being pushed forward by the Givatayim Municipality and the Urban Renewal Authority and includes several renewal tracks: strengthening demolition and building in the heart of the neighborhood demolition and rebuilding along the main streets of Katznelson Street and Aliyat Hanoar Streets with 32-45 floor buildings The average apartment will be 85 square meters with 30% of the apartments just 40 square meters in size Genuine urban renewal and not buildings just in the areas surrounding the city These are areas bordering on Ramat Gan and Tel Aviv and there the ambition is to build high there will be urban renewal but there we want to protect what already exists "The plan that was approved for deposit by the District Commission is a little different from what it was several months ago because we came to the conclusion that the original version was too overwhelming this today includes less urban renewal areas I know that there are residents who fear building high and the word tower but they must understand that if the plan is executed Architects Association chairman of the regulations committee Benny Perry makes calming comments "I'd bet now on it taking 20 years until the plan is realized." Perry has served in the past as Givatayim's City Architect "You have to remember that for the purposes of renewal in these areas we are steamrolling another urban fabric I have no sentiments towards the existing urban fabric which was built according to incorrect criteria but in those 20 buildings that they will steamroll there are residents and there are an infinite number of opinions The planning that they are doing here is very daring and it is not certain that it will be possible to implement it It's hard for me to see how they will easily persuade existing tenants to take an apartment on the 25th floor of a new tower So the question is if there is any chance of realizing it not in 20 years but in the next 100 years." A main part of the renewal program for the northeast of the city is to "strengthen Katznelson and Aliyat Hanoar Streets which rely on existing public transport systems and in the future on planned mass transit systems for the region." This refers to the M2 Metro line which will run beneath the length of Katznelson Street It will be colonnaded along its entire length with a covered 3.25 meter sidewalk and buildings jutting right out to the street There will be a 2 meter cycle path on each side of the road with a bus lane and one lane for cars "The plan expands the main roads and generally provides changes and upgrades transport which will relieve the traffic flow Katznelson itself will be significantly wider "Generally speaking Givatayim is a small city and its many residents usually get to places by walking so we have focused on plans for walking The Metro will also provide a broad solution for public transport users as well as the mass transit project (which will also pass along Katznelson) but there is no doubt that improvements are required on the subject at a national level." Perry stresses that the plan has many things that express proper planning practices "The desire to create streets of proper proportions The cross section of Katznelson Street is very interesting and allows comfortable walking a walkable city where it will be fun to live The overall plan for Givatayim is to enlarge construction around the main transport arteries and near the city's boundaries interfacing with Tel Aviv and Ramat Gan In the city center construction will be allowed up to eight floors up to 16 floors in the older neighborhoods and 40-floor towers in the northwest and south of the city Givatayim's trend towards towers can already be seen on the land closest to the Ayalon Highway in the City complex while nearby the 55-floor Hi Tower is being built the 40-floor Korazin Tower was approved for the south of the city and both the Histadrut and Rambam areas are planning 25,35 and even 45-floor high-rise residential towers Published by Globes, Israel business news - en.globes.co.il - on July 27 2022 © Copyright of Globes Publisher Itonut (1983) Ltd.

such places will grant building rights up to four times the existing rights while urban renewal for a single building will attract only double the existing rights The additional rights will be

planning team found that 30% of travel in the city was on foot or by bicycle Only 8% of journeys are by public transport The plan sets a target of increasing use of public transport to 34% and reducing the use of private vehicles to 30% while walking and use of bicycles grows to 36% This target is based on the fact that the city is due to be networked by several future mass transit lines The Purple Line of the Gush Dan light rail is planned to go along Hashalom Road and as part of the desire to reduce the use of private vehicles in the city the plan sets a parking standard of 0.5 (one

published for the fourth year by Israel Hofsheet an advocacy organization that pushes for greater cultural and religious pluralism in Israel Israel Hofsheet head Uri Keidar said the index highlights the fact that “brave and determined municipal leaders can advance liberal policies in their cities.” Tel Aviv and the neighboring city of Herzliya to the north tied for first place Tel Aviv dropped to second place and Herzliya to fifth Rounding out the top five were Kfar Sava and Rishon Letzion in the third and fourth spots which has consistently been at the top of the chart This year, an 11th criteria was added: civil marriage The organization assessed whether couples had the ability to register as partners at the local level without interacting with the Chief Rabbinate Though there is no national civil marriage in Israel many hope that actions at the local level will help push future legislation by cities with large ultra-Orthodox populations which met only 4 percent of the index’s criteria Other cities faring badly in the rankings: Ramle (9 percent) Beit Shemesh (8 percent) and Modi’in Ilit (5 percent) Open gallery viewStudents at a school in the West Bank settlement of Betar Ilit.Credit: Ohad ZwigenbergKeidar said he hopes to see improvements in municipal scores in the upcoming year given that the “government of change” headed by Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid is “free of extremist religious elements.” “The time has come for the national government to learn from the municipalities, which, three years ago, took it upon themselves to initiate public transportation on Shabbat and other changes,” he said “The time has also come for massive changes in the institution of matrimony for all couples in Israel,” he added along with the prevention of “all gender segregation in the public square” and budgetary support for the LGBTQ community in every city “Those who want to lead the people must know how to listen to them to see the large-scale public demand for these changes and must not be afraid of the cries of the local or national opposition,” Keidar said and will be located near the Savidor Center train station.console.log("2390 BODY2 CatId

Givatayim is one of the most beautiful lookout points in the entire Tel Aviv region It provides a wonderful view of metropolitan Tel Aviv and is one of the most popular meeting places for residents of Givatayim - for now Part of the panorama from the outlook is liable to be blocked by buildings in the coming years in an urban renewal plan right below the lookout post being pitched to the tenants by Dunietz The project is slated for construction on the slopes of Kozalawsky Hill one of the hills from which the city's name is derived (Givatayim means "two hills") The five-dunam (1.25-acre) site contains seven old buildings at 54-56 Hameri Street and 1-9 Nitzana Street with six floors each having a total of 42 apartments Sources inform "Globes" that one of the apartments in the buildings to be demolished belongs to Tel Aviv District Planning and Building Commission chairperson Daniela Posek who is therefore enjoined from hearing the plan Tel Aviv District planning deputy Tali Dotan is replacing her for purposes of the discussion The Local Planning and Building Commission is deducting one floor the Givatayim Local Planning and Building Commission discussed the plan Dunietz wants to demolish the seven old buildings and build four new buildings in their places: two with nine storeys above ground in the southern section of the site and two buildings with five storeys above ground in the northern section A total of 120 new apartments with 113 square meters each in main space will be built The Local Planning and Building Commission approved the project subject to reducing the height of the northwestern building by one storey and the total number of apartments to 105 and recommended it for deposit at the Tel Aviv District Planning and Building Commission Architect Danny Kaiser designed the plan for Dunietz District Planning and Building Commission: View sensitivity In the discussion at the Tel Aviv District Planning and Building Commission in September 2018 the Commission approved the plan for two eight-storey and two five-storey buildings with a grand total of 105 apartments and 106 square meters of main space per apartment 20% of the apartments in the plan will have up to 75 square meters of space "The plan is located in a area on a steep slope Designing the underground parking floors is very difficult and construction areas are therefore needed in order to ensure the underground parking spaces The difference in height between Nitzana Street and Hameri Street is six floors The plan contributes additional parking spaces to the surrounding area and creates the easiest possible connections between Hameri Street and Nitzana Street." The Tel Aviv District Planning and Building Commission also ruled that construction could be no higher than 98 meters on the south and 87 meters on the north in order to maintain the lookout from Kozalawsky Hill and Mitzpor Shalom The plan includes a parking lot for the apartments and a public parking lot with 20 spaces The Tel Aviv District Planning and Building Commission described the area as "view-sensitive while preserving the views observed from the its surroundings of metropolitan Tel Aviv." The document states "The plan preserves the views from the hill including the unique topography and the staircase for pedestrian traffic between the two streets." Objections by both the company and the neighbors Two objections to the plan were filed after it was deposited which argued that the changes in the plan by the District Planning and Building Commission among them the reduction in the number of floors and apartments detracts from the chances of implementing the project on the site The company added that the District Planning and Building Commission had added an instruction requiring the preservation of the lookout point from Kozalawsky Hill even though the Givatayim Local Planning and Building Commission had not inserted such a clause The company said that the clause was irrelevant because no lookout point from Kozalawsky Hill would exist under the Tama 38 plan while the deposited plan preserved the looking point from Mitzpor Shalom the company asked that it be allowed to build a 14-storey building and improved the design on the site Another objection in the opposite direction was filed by a neighbor of the plan who argued that if the plan is approved in its current format the volume of construction would be five times the existing volume which would damage the view from Mitzpor Shalom which he described as an "inalienable asset." stated that the designers of the plan were seeking approval of 87 meters in height for the two buildings which was 14 meters higher than Mitzpor Shalom and that this would damage the view of the city and the sky and substantially hamper the existing panoramic view The opponent therefore asked that the height of one of the buildings be reduced from 87 meters to 71 meters and that the height of the third of the four buildings be reduced from 98 meters to 87 meters "The requested construction space indicates an intention of increasing the number of apartments to over 105 thereby increasing the number of vehicles in the project This will exacerbate the already existing parking shortage." Responses: The view from the hill will be obstructed The Givatayim Local Building and Planning Commission said that it could not comment on the plan before the discussion of the objections The Tel Aviv District Planning and Building Commission said in response that since the plan was at the stage of hearing the objections It added that all of the legally submitted objections would be discussed and a decision on them would be taken in the framework of the Commission "Development of the plan is designed to meet an immediate need of the tenants to renew their residential surroundings which suffer from impossible access conditions and buildings constructed 60 years ago that are now in a shaky and deteriorating state," Dunietz said "The company submitted an objection seeking to improve construction on the site through spacious Let it be emphasized that the plan proposed in the objection preserves the open view from the direction of Mitzpor Shalom The maximum height of Kozalawsky Hill is 85 meters above sea level and the possible and permitted height of construction under the valid plans for Hameri Street is 98 meters above sea level the view from the hill will be obstructed in this part "The design in the deposited plan and the design as the company wants to improve it in the framework of the plan preserves the views from the direction of Mitzpor Shalom."
