Following the recent initial approval, at the plenary session on the 25th of March, of the ordinance that will allow for the takeover of the 96 historic residential developments within the municipality, members of the Mijas Executive met on the afternoon of Thursday the 16th with representatives of these residential developments in order to inform them about the process and reaffirm the Town Hall’s commitment to the implementation of this ordinance. “We now have a legal framework, namely the Law on the Promotion of Territorial Sustainability in Andalusia (LISTA), which obliges public administrations to find a solution for those housing developments that have not yet been officially taken over. This situation of instability cannot continue, which is why the Town Hall has decided to tackle this problem through this municipal ordinance”, stated the mayoress Ana Mata (PP). 

 

The meeting, which took place at the La Cala Branch Office, was also attended by the councillors for Residential Developments and Economy and Finance, as well as technical staff from the departments involved in drafting the ordinance, such as Urban Planning and Infrastructure. Also present was the deputy mayor of La Cala, Juan Carlos Maldonado (PMP). “The government team is very interested in definitively resolving the issues of lighting, resurfacing and cleaning of public roads in the developments. What we want is to finish this urbanisation process, to see the partial plan completed, which is what defined how rural land was transformed into urban land”, explained the councillor for Economy, Mario Bravo (PP). 

Consultation period

During the meeting, after the details of the ordinance had been presented, there was a question-and-answer session to allow attendees to clarify any doubts. The council emphasised that the consultation period ends on the 19th of May and informed the presidents of the homeowners’ associations and property managers that they can access the ordinance both in the Official Gazette of the Province and on the Mijas Town Hall’s transparency portal. “With this ordinance everything is streamlined much more quickly; the regulation provides us with the essential tools to carry out this process as well as the necessary timelines. We must bear in mind that a significant infrastructure needs to be created because this affects 40% of the population of Mijas who, for years, have been forgotten. They want something very reasonable: for their street lighting to be paid for and for the streets to be paved, because they are paying more IBI tax than any other resident and are not receiving these services”, said the councillor for Urban Development, Juan Carlos Cuevas Dawson (Vox).

 

The process

The process for the new ordinance began in January with the mandatory objection period, which was open for fifteen working days. As explained by the Town Hall, this prior objection period complies with Article 133.1 of Law 39/2015 of 1 October on the Common Administrative Procedure of Public Administrations. Following its approval at the last plenary session, the process continued with the publication of the ordinance in the Official Gazette of the Province on 6th April, opening a 30-working-day period for objections, running until the 19th of May.

 

Once the takeover process is complete, the council will be able to take over the maintenance of the public areas (roads, equipment plots and green spaces) in these housing developments, thereby complying with the partial plan and providing a technical solution to a problem that has been latent in Mijas for 60 years.

In parallel to the approval of the ordinance, residential developments, through a homeowners’ associationor an urban conservation entity, must have the partial plan for said development, identify what is missing to complete that plan, and hand over the corresponding equipment plots to the Town Hall. “The sooner they start, the sooner we can do everything necessary to take them over”, said Mario Bravo.

 

Mayoress' assessment

The mayoress of Mijas, ana Mata (PP), pointed out that the ultimate aim of this process is “to undertake the necessary actions to improve the public services that the residents of these developments deserve”. The mayoress explained that “what we intend is to offer a cleaning service, build infrastructure according to what the neighbourhood demands, more walkable pavements, parks for families or sports equipment”. Ana Mata emphasised that “today’s meeting was very important” and recalled that this is “the first ordinance that has been created by the Town Hall to provide a solution to a problem that has gone unresolved for a very long time. Previous government teams have put many patches along the way and, now, we all have the possibility to address this situation through a legal tool that allows us to commit to the residents and tell them that we are going to have their streets like those of the rest of the citizens”. The Mayor also stressed that they can go to the Town Hall with any doubts during the process and encouraged all representatives of developments to prepare the necessary documentation to formalise the takeover.
