Imagine a land development process where months if not years of planning, review and permitting could be undone in short time. That appears to be a part of the land management process in Israel. The “Sheves regulation” allows a development permit to be modified increasing development intensities by 20%.
The story can be found here: Back door to build more.
The process seems more convoluted than even Massachusetts Chapter 40B in that the process plays out AFTER the normal permitting process has been completed. The story reports as much as a doubling of building heights under “Sheves” permits. This approach is quite unbelievable, and seems to defeat public participation and any semblance of fairness.
