AC Budějovická: Prague 4 files a lawsuit against the construction
According to the fourth city district, the AC Budějovická building planned by developer Opal Real is oversized, deteriorating the quality of life and the traffic situation. A local resident had previously written a petition against the construction of a 72-meter-tall building, and the town hall issued several dissenting opinions.
“We repeatedly point out above all the fact that the developer’s intention is in conflict with the spatial plan, exceeds the neighboring development and violates the lighting regulations. Other concerns stem from the increase in car traffic in a traffic-congested locality, and in addition, the diversion of traffic to side streets will have a negative impact on the safety of pedestrians in the adjacent neighborhood, where apartment buildings and a kindergarten are located,” said Deputy Mayor Patrik Opa (ODS).
The municipal district council insists that the nineteen-storey AC Budějovická building especially in terms of its height, it is not in accordance with the spatial plan, specifically with the limits of possible development in the stabilized area. This follows from the expert reports that the town hall had prepared, as well as from the decision of the municipal department of building regulations from February 1, 2016. However, the municipality changed its resolution in November 2021. According to the representative of the town hall, this happened without giving a reason.
New house AC Budějovická it should have a regular almost square plan with a slightly beveled corner parallel to Vyskočilová street. It is to be up to 72 meters high with 19 above-ground and five underground floors with 70 garage spaces. The tower is to contain up to 12,000 square meters of offices.
Local residents opposed the construction for about five years, who wrote a petition signed by about two thousand people. According to the petitioners, the building will attract hundreds of cars to Krč, which will worsen the environment and increase noise.
