Córdoba approves the Huerta del Hierro special plan with 23,547 square meters

The Córdoba City Council has definitively approved the Special Interior Reform Plan B-33 “Huerta del Hierro,” an instrument that regulates 23,547.20 square meters of residential land in the northwest of the city’s urban land. The agreement was adopted by the municipal Plenary in an ordinary session on April 16, 2026, and is now published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Córdoba on November 13, 2026 (No. 220), with the official reference BOP-A-2026-3647.

The edict is signed by the manager of the Municipal Urban Planning Management of Córdoba, Julián Álvarez Ortega, dated October 26, 2026, and is issued within the framework of file Planeamiento/SAF/4.1.2 15/2008 (PCTM 7600_GE01_2025_00118). The approval is based on the report from the Planning Service and the processing promoted by José León Pineda, representing the PERI B-33 Management Board.

The plan develops the General Urban Development Plan (PGOU) of Córdoba for a sector intended for detached single-family housing, with a net buildability of 0.2887 m² of roof per m² of land.

Planning and building parameters

The urban regulations published alongside the agreement establish the conditions for the sector, divided into three blocks of the UAS-3 “Huerta del Hierro” zone (UAS-3HH) plus an open space area to the south, graphed in zoning plan 06.

• Regulated area: 23,547.20 m².
• Net buildability: 0.2887 m² roof/m² land.
• Minimum plot: 1,000 m², with a minimum facade of 16 meters.
• Maximum height: ground floor plus one (GF+1), with a regulatory height of 7 meters.
• Maximum ridge height: 9.75 meters, with the possibility of a habitable attic under a sloped roof.
• Action system: compensation.
• Execution: a single execution unit coinciding with the sector, with a single Urbanization Project and the possibility of urbanizing in phases.

The document includes a report, urban regulations, a stage plan, an economic-financial study, an annex on infrastructure layout, another on property structure, a third from AENA, and a flood study, in addition to the information and planning maps. The plan’s validity is indefinite.

Limitations due to aeronautical easements

The entire area is included in the aeronautical easement zone of the Córdoba airport, which conditions any planned action. No construction—including antennas, lightning rods, chimneys, signs, cranes, or wind turbines—may violate the easements set forth in Royal Decree 729/2015, represented in plans 25 and 26 of the plan.

• Maximum height of any construction due to easement: 10 meters.
• Prior authorization required: favorable agreement from the State Aviation Safety Agency (AESA), in accordance with articles 30 and 31 of Decree 584/72.
• No right to compensation from the Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda, the airport manager, or the Air Navigation Services provider, except for rights already capitalized.
• In case of contradiction between regulations and plans, the conditions of the aeronautical easements shall prevail.

The articles further specify that the planning does not grant owners the right to compensation for the imposed limitations, although they do maintain the right to the equitable distribution of benefits and burdens of the planning.

Deposit, publicity, and appeals

The agreement orders the document to be deposited in the registry of the Municipal Urban Planning Management and that of the Department competent in Land Use and Urban Planning, in accordance with article 82 of Law 7/2021, article 5 of Decree 550/2022, and articles 9 and 14 of Decree 2/2004. The City Council must send the complete document to the Department within one month of final approval.

The publication of the agreement and the articles of the urban planning regulations complies with article 196.2 of the ROF and article 70.2 of Law 7/1985 regulating the Bases of the Local Regime, indicating the applicable appeals. The text is also available to the public on the municipal Transparency portal and on the website of the Municipal Urban Planning Management. The planning document bears the signature of the architect Luis García de Viguera, dated October 2025.

The final approval unlocks the development of a residential sector of detached single-family housing in the northwest of Córdoba, with immediate capacity to process urbanization and building projects. For owners and developers, the key constraint is the 10-meter elevation derived from the airport: any project exceeding it will require an express ruling from AESA.
