Cabanillas approves the modification of the partial plan for sector SI-20

The Plenary Session of the City Council of Cabanillas del Campo definitively approved on November 4, 2026, the Specific Modification No. 2 of the Partial Plan for Sector SI-20 of the Municipal Planning Plan, which rewrites the urban planning regulations for tertiary uses to admit industrial use in its 3rd and 4th categories. The agreement is published in full, along with the articulated text of the new regulations, in the Official Gazette of the Province of Guadalajara No. 215, of this Tuesday, November 10, 2026, signed by the mayor, José García Salinas.

The publication is made in compliance with article 42.2 of the Recast Text of the Law on Land Management and Urban Activity, approved by Legislative Decree 1/2023, of February 28, and article 157.1 of the Planning Regulations (Decree 248/2004, of September 14). The approval corresponded to the Plenary by simple majority, according to article 22.2.c) of Law 7/1985, regulating the Bases of Local Regime, in relation to article 152.2 of the Planning Regulations. The regulations now being amended were approved on October 19, 2006, and had already been modified by a Plenary agreement on January 31, 2013.

What changes in the ordinance

The objective is exclusively detailed planning: section 4, “Tertiary uses and uses compatible with tertiary use,” of Ordinance 5.4.2.2 – Tertiary Use is modified. The list of authorized uses is as follows:

• Tertiary-offices, in 2nd and 3rd categories.
• Commercial and warehouse, with three categories: commercial ground floors, commercial surfaces, and warehouses annexed to commercial premises.
• Public residential, only in 2nd category, in the community residence and hotel accommodation groups.
• Garages and parking lots, under the conditions of the Municipal Planning Plan.
• Housing solely for guarding and surveillance, one per company or per 2,500 m² of plot and not exceeding 150 m² per dwelling.
• Industrial in its 3rd and 4th categories, the novelty of the modification.

The wording is formulated in complete articles to reinforce legal certainty in its application, according to the agreement.

Strategic sectors as an argument

The City Council justifies the expansion based on “market demand” and the objective of attracting industries and companies from strategic sectors such as logistics, data centers, and renewable energies, to foster economic activity and job creation. The modification adapts the range of uses to the industrial character that the Municipal Planning Plan assigns to the sector: Sector SI-20 is listed as developable land for global industrial use, with a surface area of 1,266,828 m², distribution area A.R.P. 4, and a utilization rate of 0.70 (886,780 u.a. of actual utilization and 88,678 u.a. of public heritage utilization), according to the files published in the BOP No. 191, dated October 7, 2026.

The processing included the request, on July 20, 2026, for coordination reports from the Provincial Delegation of the Ministry of Sustainable Development. The project was subject to public consultation for 20 business days through announcements published on July 27, 2026, in Nueva Alcarria and in the Official Gazette of Castilla-La Mancha, with no objections presented.

Without an environmental report and with favorable reports

On October 19, 2026, the Provincial Delegation concluded that the modification is not included in the cases set forth in Article 5 of Law 2/2020, on Environmental Assessment of Castilla-La Mancha, and that it should not be subject to a strategic environmental assessment, as it does not involve a change in land classification nor significant differences regarding the environment. The municipal technical and legal reports, as well as the mandatory report from the Secretariat, are also on record, all of which are favorable.

The agreement emphasizes that density and buildability parameters are not altered, private lucrative utilization is not increased, land designated for public use is not decommissioned, protected housing land is not reclassified, nor is the classification of green zones or open spaces modified. The City Council will send two complete copies to the Provincial Delegation of the Ministry of Public Works in Guadalajara and will publish the agreement in the Official Gazette of Castilla-La Mancha.

Entry into force and appeals

The modification will enter into force the day following its complete publication in the Official Provincial Gazette, without prejudice to Article 70.2 of the Law on the Bases of Local Government. The agreement concludes the administrative process, and a contentious-administrative appeal may be filed against it within two months before the Contentious-Administrative Chamber of the High Court of Justice of Castilla-La Mancha, based in Albacete.

The change is of direct interest to landowners and sector developers: it expands the range of admissible activities on the tertiary plots of the SI-20 without affecting the already established tertiary use, which could unlock the installation of logistics and industrial warehouses in the main industrial area pending development in Cabanillas del Campo.
