Consultation corner for making rules of town

In the case of land use and architectural planning, the use, height, etc. of buildings that can be built are determined by the City Planning Act and the Building Standards Law, but this is the minimum standard.

"Building agreements" and "District Planning", which set detailed standards based on the initiative of residents according to the local characteristics, such as the cityscape, the type of building, and the area of the site, are called "town rules".

In each ward office in Yokohama-shi, "town rule making consultation corner" is set up. In the consultation corner, we accept consultations on these "rules of towns".
