Sintesi Omnilex

The City of Geneva planned a hangar to cut and store wood from public parks on existing slabs in a forest area. The legal question was whether the project could be exceptionally authorized despite the forest-zone designation. The summary indicates that authorization is permissible where the construction uses pre-existing slabs, does not require any clearing, and causes only minimal impact on the surrounding environment.

Massima Omnilex

Art. 13b al. 2 lit. a LFo; construction in a forest zone may be exceptionally authorized when the project is situated on pre-existing slabs, entails no clearing, and affects the surrounding environment only minimally. The decisive criteria are the absence of deforestation and the limited ecological impact of the installation; where these conditions are met, the prohibition on forest-zone construction does not preclude authorization.
