In the incorporation of rules of protection or incentive in regulatory plans, the participation of the community should be ensured.

In such a case, the Master Plan will correspond to the objective image and explanatory memory of this exceptional modality of modification of the communal regulatory plan and should also include the new applicable policy table.

In order for the Master Plan to generate the effects indicated in the preceding letters, it is required that it be published in the Official Gazette, after the approval of the municipal council and promulgation by decree alcaldicio.

As a result, in such areas of protection of resources of cultural heritage value, Master Regeneration Plans cannot be implemented.

Article 90.- In the context of the development or implementation of the Regeneration Master Plan, the Regional Housing and Urbanization Services may require the respective municipal works management to jointly evaluate, in a single file, some or all the necessary authorizations or permits to set up the new urban form that is covered by the Master Plan.

Compliance with the above conditions will be a requirement for the receipt of projects that are in line with the incentives of urban norms, applying to them the provisions of article 173.

The communal regulatory plan should specify the area in which such incentives will apply. Approval of a plan with these incentives will result in the absence of articles 63, 107, 108 and 109.

However, in those sectors protected under the category of Typical Zone or Historical Conservation Zone, or in any of the categories that replace them, the urban norms established by or established by the regulatory plan must be respected in order to safeguard the values and attributes by which such areas were protected.
