General regulations on the protection and use of the territory
- L. 20/2000 Subsidiarity Sustainability Independence Simplification
Regional
Law no. 20 of 2000 "General regulations on the protection and use
of the territory" updates the relationships between different planning
levels and the tasks of the different institutional levels. According
to the principle of subsidiarity, the Region defines the overall goals
for the development and protection of the regional territorial system,
the Province carries out planning functions for fostering inter-communal
interests or functions which cannot be effectively performed at municipal
level in the fields of the environment, infrastructures and human
settlements; all remaining responsibilities are up to the city government.
A hierarchy of institutional levels is replaced with institutional
consensus, which is reached through: the planning conference, at which
strategic and structural decisions undergo a joint preliminary evaluation
with the public administrations and the bodies sharing responsibilities
for the exercise of planning functions; the planning agreements, a
set of elements serving as parameters to make planning decisions;
territorial agreements where the different bodies agree on objectives
and choices and coordinate the implementation of the plans.

According to the principle of sustainability, within the framework of the drafting and approval of their plans, the bodies concerned carry out a preventive evaluation of their choices in terms of environmental and territorial sustainability, pin down possible adverse impacts and indicate appropriate measures to mitigate such effects.

The principles
of independence and simplification inspire the procedures of self-approval
for plans and the Sole Chart of the Territory, the only reference
documents for plan implementation and building activity conformity
checks.

Municipal
land use planning instruments have been updated and consist
of:
- The Communal Structural Plan (PSC) - an instrument
that remains in force for an indeterminate period of time and is
subject to the attainment of institutional consensus, having a strategic
and structural significance
- the Building Land Planning Regulations (RUE)
- an instrument that provides regulations on building activities
and governs the conditions of those urbanised and rural lands that
are not subjected to substantial land use planning changes
- the Communal Operational Plan (POC) - a flexible
and operational instrument for the choices contained in the PSC
for those parts of the territory affected by programmed, substantial
land-use planning changes over a five year time span.
