Tukums Municipality Council approves the graphic part of the territorial plan and the building regulations

Latvijas Vēstnesis, in the issue of November 4, 2026, No. 213, official publication OP 2026/213, under the section MUNICIPALITIES at item number 33, published a reference to the binding regulations No. 30 of the Tukums Municipality Council “Graphical Part of the Tukums Municipality Territory Plan and Territory Use and Building Regulations”. The publishing body is the Tukums Municipality Council. The entry is the last one in the municipalities section before the OFFICIAL NOTICES block, and it contains the official publication link to the document.

Binding regulations No. 30 are a single municipal legal act consisting of two components mentioned in the title: the graphical part of the plan and the territory use and building regulations. The graphical part depicts the functional zoning of the territory, while the regulations part determines the permitted use and building parameters—the exact conditions encountered in practice by a landowner, designer, or developer when preparing a construction proposal.

Spatial Planning Context in the Municipality

A territorial plan is a municipality-scale document that covers the entire municipality, unlike a local plan, the scope of which is limited to a specific territory. Precisely such a local plan — “Jumpravas pļavas”, in the town of Tukums and Tume parish, including land use and building regulations and a graphic part — was approved on June 25, 2026, by regulations No. 19 and subsequently refined in September by regulations No. 24.

The act No. 30 published in November thus concludes the 2026 municipal planning work cycle, in which individual local solutions were first organized and then a municipality-scale plan with a graphic part and building regulations was published. The publication numbering — item 33, immediately after the budget and social benefit amendments — confirms that the plan was submitted to the official publication in the same issue as the other council decisions of November.

What this means for owners and developers

The name of the regulations refers to two practical documents that must be checked before any construction intention: the graphic part, where the functional zoning of the specific land plot is sought, and the land use and building regulations, where building parameters and usage conditions are found. The approval of both parts in a single legal act means that they must be read together — zoning without the text of the regulations and regulations without the graphic part do not provide a complete picture of development opportunities.

Public accessibility in the official publication is also essential because the plan’s requirements can be verified independently of the municipality’s internal materials: any interested person can refer to the specific publication by number and date. Consequently, the beginning of November marks the moment when the territorial development regulations of Tukums municipality are fixed in the official publication and become a common point of reference for both municipal decisions and private projects throughout the municipality.
