This draft resolution is being prepared for discussion in the Bishkek City Council.
According to the report attached to the document, the changes aim to adapt the municipal act to the new edition of the Land Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, as well as to improve the process of repurchasing land plots.
The document proposes amendments to the resolution of the city council dated January 14, 2020, No. 139, concerning the procedure for the repurchase of lands provided for lease for the design and construction of apartment buildings in Bishkek.
The proposed changes include the introduction of new mechanisms, such as the mandatory presence of a pledge agreement for the repurchase. An alternative option is also being considered, under which 10% of the constructed residential premises would be transferred to municipal ownership.
Additionally, the project includes a methodology for calculating the cost of repurchasing land plots and improving inter-agency cooperation when reviewing applications for repurchase, which will allow for the elimination of unnecessary procedures in cases where urban planning conclusions are not required.
It is expected that these changes will enhance the transparency of the repurchase process, reduce the time for reviewing applications, increase budget revenues, and enrich the municipal housing stock.
The document also proposes to approve new templates for contracts, including sales, appraisal, and pledge agreements.
The adoption of this project will not incur additional expenses from the city budget. It will be submitted for public discussion in accordance with the law "On Normative Legal Acts of the Kyrgyz Republic".
