Art. 75 Construction and Territorial Planning Act (CTPA)

1 The Department and the municipalities have the authority to establish reserved zones, aimed at preventing violations of territorial planning principles (Article 27 LAT), particularly taking into account the master plan or a change in legislation.

2 A zone can be declared reserved for a period not exceeding five years. The Department may extend this period by a maximum of three years.

3 For reserved zones created by municipalities, the procedure outlined in Articles 71 to 73 applies by analogy, with the municipal council being the adopting authority, and the Department the approving authority. For those created by the Department, the cantonal special plan procedure applies by analogy.
