The Land Use Plan for the Municipality of Saint-Martin, approved on March 28, 2002, has been the subject of a simplified revision and several modification procedures.
It has therefore been the subject of only minor adaptations, insufficient to meet current needs in terms of urbanization and economic development of the territory.
To assert the new ambitions concerning economic and urban development and regional planning, in order to better orient the dynamics expressed therein, the community of Saint-Martin acted, by deliberation of the Territorial Council n ° 2017-11-09 from November 15, 2017, the development of the Saint Martin Development and Development Plan.
Pending the outcome of this approach, which will be subject to strong consultation of the population, the Collectivity wishes to implement a modification of the Land Use Plan and allow an initial regulatory evolution, specific to foster economic development and the emergence of public projects as well as correct or clarify elements of the POS regulations.
Amendment 1
• POS rules
The POS regulations are now old and no longer suited to the current needs of the territory, particularly in terms of economic development or the establishment of public facilities.
It also contains drafting errors and inconsistencies which should be corrected
Finally, it still contains legislative references (code of town planning for example) which must be updated due to the evolution of regulations (code of town planning of Saint-Martin).
• Nature of the modifications
General modifications:
- Replacement of the term "municipality" by the term "community"
- Replacement of obsolete legislative or technical references (national town planning code, earthquake regulations)
- Consistency in the drafting of articles relating to the height of constructions.
The current wording presents two concepts (facade height and roof drain height), which complicates the application of the regulations; it is therefore proposed to keep only one concept (height to the roof sewer).
Removal of unnecessary details (for example R + 1 + C… ..)
Similar presentation of the rules for all zones
- Improvement of the right to build for facilities of collective interest and public services (height and roof rules).
- Increase in the rate of horizontal roofing from 30 to 50%
UA zone
- Modification of the rule on the setback of construction in relation to public rights-of-way (article UA6) in order to impact less on the private sector and be more consistent with the reality of current urbanization
- Simplification of the rules of joint ownership (article UA7), unsuitable for a city center sector
- Increase of the footprint to 100% (article UA9), more logical with a city center sector
- Authorized height of 18 meters in the roof sewer for hotels and public facilities, in particular to promote economic recovery (article UA10)
- Increase in Cos to 6 (article UA14), more logical with a city center sector
UH zone
- Authorization for horizontal roofing for all buildings, in order to facilitate reconstruction and development towards more resilient buildings in this zoning for collective housing.
UP zone
- Accuracy of the authorized height between the roof sewer and the ridge, absent to this day
UT area
- Increase to 12 meters in the height of the roof sewer for hotels, in order to promote economic recovery.
UX area
In general, it is proposed to keep a single Ux zone (elimination of the UXa sub-zone) while keeping the rules most favorable to economic development.
Otherwise :
- Removal of an erroneous article UX2, which prohibits the constructions authorized in article UX1
- Authorization of horizontal roofs
- Increase of Cos to 2.1 to facilitate economic development
IINA area
The IINA zones are land reserve sectors in the medium / long term, due in particular to the lack of planning or networks, in which construction is generally not authorized without modification of the urban planning document; they therefore have no reason to have special rules.
It is also proposed (see modification 2) to reclassify the entire IINAx sub-zone.
In fact, it is proposed to remove all superfluous rules which may lead one to believe that the area is buildable as it is.
Only public service equipment and technical works necessary for the operation of public services could be located in the area.
Modification 2 (Grand-Case sector)
• Situation of the area
The IINAx zone is a sector of future urbanization dedicated to airport activity and more particularly to the development project of Grand Case airport.
• Purpose of the modification
The Collectivity controls the land necessary for the development of the airport project.
There is therefore no longer any reason to maintain the sector as a dedicated land reserve; this is why it is proposed to reclassify the entire sector.
• Nature of the modifications
The evolution of the zoning introduced by this modification file concerns the entire area currently classified IINAx.
- On the part concerned by the airport project, as well as on an area intended for the movement of activities currently located on the land intended for it, it is proposed to classify the area as INAX (short / medium-term urbanizable area intended for economic / craft / industrial activities).
- Part of the AV61 plot is proposed to be reclassified in the INAug zone, in order to have a more coherent division of the zone; in fact, part of this plot is already classified at the POS in INAug.
Modification 3 (Bellevue sector)
• Situation of the area
The land affected by the modification covers an area of approximately 3.3 hectares. They are located in the Bellevue sector.
The site hosts a commercial and artisanal area.
• Purpose of the modification
In order to simplify the zoning by reducing the number of zones / sub-zones, it is proposed to reclassify the UXa zone into a simple UX zone.
Amendment 4
(Rambaud-Saint-Louis sector)
I. Situation of the area
Developed over nearly hectares, the Ug area of Saint Louis / Rambaud / Criple Gate / Morne Valois
• Purpose of the modification
The Saint Louis / Rambaud / Cripple area is a traditional housing sector that is proposed to be safeguarded by reclassifying it into a zoning with more protective regulations.
• Nature of the modifications
It is proposed to reclassify part of the area (approximately 8.9 hectares) into the UGp area, which already includes the village of Colombier.
The differences induced by this reclassification in terms of settlement are:
- Prohibition of grouped hotel or para-hotel operations
- Prohibition of apartment buildings with more than 4 housing units per property unit
- Prohibition of constructions with a facade length exceeding 30 meters.
