O que diz o PDM

Classificação da áreaMunicipality uses are organized by the PDM into categories of spaces (land-use regime), including: (i) Urban areas (Espaços urbanos) for improvement/requalification; (ii) Urbanizable areas (including urbanizable mixed); (iii) Existing industrial/services spaces; (iv) Proposed industrial spaces (industrial urbanizable); (v) Special-use spaces (Espaços de uso especial) including “infrastructure structuring” spaces; and (vi) Operational Units (Unidades Operativas, e.g., UO 03–UO 06) which package the above uses and management of transitions.
Dimensão típica dos lotesIndustrial proposed lots: not less than 2000 m² (with minimum lot area of 500 m² when applicable).
Limite geral de alturaGeneral maximum façade height for industry/commerce/storage: 9 m. For “infrastructure structuring” special-use spaces: maximum façade height 19 m.
Pontos-chave
  • 10m margin-line protection strip: only certain activities allowed, subject to the opinion of the DG Natural Resources, with a minimum 5 m distance on each side of the margin line (infrastructure/hydraulic works, leisure equipment, and indispensable complements to already licensed works).
  • Industrial proposed development requirements: 20% of gross area allocated to secondary green structure.
  • Industrial proposed development requirements: land occupation 60% and volumetric coefficient (FAR) 6 m³/m² (also applies to existing industrial lots per the summary).
  • Minimum lateral setback (industry/commerce/storage): 5 m from the lateral limits of the lot.
  • Major environmental constraints operate municipally as non-aedificandi/protection areas (REN/ RAN; WWTP buffer prohibiting housing within 200 m; reservoirs 15 m build strip; classified-property protection zones 50 m).
Planos futuros
  • Extraordinary regularization and alterations/amplifications regime for special-use “infrastructure structuring” spaces.
  • Reconversion/transition envisaged in operational units (e.g., environmental reconversion of ENSRA in UO 03; reconversion approaches including Cova da Moura and Falagueira social-housing areas).
  • Return/continuation of historical social-housing regimes (ex-SAAL) in specific operational units.
  • Municipal PDM monitoring and implementation framework (organizational structure, four-year plans, resource programming).
  • PDM revision every 10 years; urbanization/detailed plans subject to government ratification if not revised.
NotasRoad/streets inside urban spaces: elementary carriageway strip desirable 3.5 m (minimum 3.0 m) and sidewalks desirable 2.5 m (minimum 1.5 m). Parking rules are general by use/type (e.g., services 2.5 places per 100 m²; hotels 2 places per 5 rooms; collective housing 2 places per 5 rooms; showrooms and entertainment rules; traffic study required for large commercial areas depending on thresholds). Public-lending approvals: subdivision/construction licenses imply free transfer of land for equipment/green zones and payment of municipal fees for local/general infrastructure.

Article 36 (Urban green spaces for protection and framing): These spaces are delimited on the planning map and, without prejudice to specific legislation on REN and RAN, may allow interventions intended especially to provide equipment structures to meet urban population needs. Any intervention is obligatorily preceded by a full or partial Detailed Plan. The article also records a suspension of Article 36 in the area delimited in an annex map until the entry into force of the Casal de São Mamede /Fonte Santa Detailed Plan. Article 69 (Operational Unit 05 - Northern slope of the Carnaxide mountain): This operational unit covers about 285 ha and is mainly intended for green spaces for protection and framing, mixed urban spaces, and office park use. It is a sensitive landscape area with potential for municipal/regional equipment and for a green municipal area integrated in the regional green structure. Article 57 (Operational Unit 01 - Northern Zone of the City): This operational unit covers about 690 ha and is mainly residential, but has strong restrictions due to spaces and supporting equipment for recreational and leisure green spaces, and for green spaces for protection and framing. It aims to create strong urban decompression zones and requires that construction improve the quality of the built urban environment. The last paragraph refers to an area that must be obligatorily subject to a detailed plan. Article 67 (Land Use): The uses provided for this operational unit include urban, equipment, urban green spaces for protection and framing, and spaces-corridor. By space class, it lists urban, equipment, green spaces for protection and framing, and spaces-corridor; by space category, it lists a secondary urban center. Article 58 (Land Use): This operational unit includes green spaces for recreation and leisure, and as space classes lists urban, urbanizable, industrial proposed, and spaces-corridor, with green spaces for protection and framing included among the uses. It also refers to agglomerated urban areas, expansion zones, equipment zones, tourism, small industry and storage, industrial zone, and forest zone. Article 54 (Identification): This article defines the municipal territory as the City of Amadora for purposes of the following articles and states that the city has the full set of urban infrastructures. It also lists space categories including green spaces for protection and framing and green spaces for recreation and leisure.
