wait for the new General Management Plan (PGO) of Santa Cruz is approved and with all the special plans implemented it carries a so long process that will make points like the one in the Las Teresitas beach are suspended in time in terms of the improvements you need.
For this reason, the Municipal Urbanism Management of Santa Cruz, directed by Zaida González, has chosen to entrust Gestur, the same public company that drafted the Special Plan for Las Teresitas, to proceed with the punctual modification of the current General Plan in force, dating from 2005, to introduce the improvements that the document that declined with the PGO of 2013 already included.
Being the same company, it is expected that this modification will be much faster than waiting for the new PGO, which will allow improvements to the beach to be addressed in the course of the current mandate. Lighting, sewerage, parking, or the construction of a promenade, are some of those much-announced and expected improvements.
Thus, according to what Urbanism reported yesterday, the responsible councilor has proceeded to finalize the appropriate procedures so that Gestur can proceed with the modification of the General Planning Plan of 2005, so that the areas to be developed and Provide public services by the Santa Cruz City Council to the municipal area of Las Teresitas.
Urbanism emphasizes the fact that the order, which is made for an amount of 70,000 euros to Gestur Canarias, allows reducing the deadlines in the preparation of the modification of the current General Plan, due to the extensive knowledge of the entity regarding the management of the aforementioned scope, since it was the entity that carried out the Special Plan of Las Teresitas, which could not be approved due to the annulment of the PGOU of 2013.
Therefore, “complying with the legally established deadlines for the modification of the General Plan of 2005, in this mandate the municipal Corporation may execute the necessary works to provide parking and the necessary public services to Las Teresitas beach” .
The term initially estimated by Urban Planning for Gestur to carry out this modification is a year and a half from this order, which means that by the end of next year, after going through the different administrative phases, Santa Cruz would already have the necessary tools to undertake the long-awaited improvements in the main beach of the capital.
