The Secretariat for Urban Planning and Sustainable Development of the Municipality of Budva has issued urban planning and technical conditions (UTU) to the Praskvica monastery of the Montenegrin Litoral Metropolis (MCP), which allows the construction of a residential building, as well as a hotel or apartment building, on the church plot in the Čučica neighborhood of Bečići. 2.200 square meters of gross construction area.
This is written in a document that "Vijesti" had access to.
Previously, that municipal secretariat refused to issue a UTA for three plots in the same Bečić settlement.
In that part of Bečići, the Metropolitanate is the owner of a land complex of almost two hectares that is owned by the monastery.
After receiving the UTU, Mitropolija, on the basis of that document, will make a preliminary design of the future building, based on which it will definitely be known what its plans are for the plot in that coastal town.
As written in the document, on an urban plot of 954,75 square meters, the Detailed Urban Plan "Bečići" foresees the construction of a building of 2.291 square meters of gross construction area, which basically has 572 square meters, with a ground floor and three floors.
"The planned purpose of the buildings is low-density housing. Hotel complexes (business, congress, family), tourist accommodation facilities (apartments, hotels, boarding houses, villas, hostels), apartment housing, housing with business and commercial facilities, catering facilities (restaurants, buffets, bistros, pizzerias, taverns, taverns, discotheques, pubs...)", it is written in urban planning and technical conditions.
As it is emphasized, within that neighborhood it is possible to place within the framework of single-family and apartment housing services and shops on the ground floors of the building, apartment and weekend housing, summer houses, elite housing, houses for rent, business apartments and urban villas.
"Within the catering and accommodation zones, there are bars, restaurants, taverns, viewpoints, cafes and Internet cafes, boarding and apartment accommodation, apartments for rent, urban villas, wellness center and gyms...", the document states, among other things.
The Metropolitanate of Montenegro and the Littoral has experience in the construction business in Budva - more than a decade and a half ago, on its property, near the main boulevard, it built the hotel "Podostrog" and two five-story buildings.
The hotel is still owned by MCP and has been rented out for years, while they still own 21 apartments, 11 business premises and garages in two residential buildings.
The remaining 120 residential units with garages and commercial spaces have been sold.
Certainly the most recent example of MCP's construction business is the construction of a large HDL hypermarket on the plot of the church of Sveta Petka, on the city bypass. MCP leased its land for twenty years.
MCP and the company "Hard discount Laković" upgraded four more floors with 59 apartments in the past year.
Two and a half years ago, a large one-story HDL hypermarket was built on church land next to the city chapel, as a business arrangement of that supermarket chain and MCP. Namely, in 2019, the Office of the Chief Architect of the Municipality of Budva approved the conceptual design of the HDL business and shopping complex. The conceptual solution on the church land envisages two phases - one that includes the construction of a one-story business and shopping center, while the second one foresees the construction of the second, third, fourth and fifth floors, with a total of 59 apartments.
In order for HDL to build a supermarket, it was necessary to complete the plot, so at the beginning of November 2018, the Municipal Assembly, by a narrow majority, gave the green light to the supermarket chain to sell 154 square meters of municipal land to them for 483 thousand euros.
By purchasing the land from the locals and the Municipality, an urban plot was formed, which was necessary to realize the project of building the first phase of the business-residential complex.
MCP is considered the largest landowner in Budva. In addition to the land complex near the church of Sveta Petka, he is the owner of 30 hectares of land in Buljarica, and in Smokvica, near Sveti Stefan, he has 30.000 square meters. In Bečići, outside the monastery complex, MCP has a plot of 23.000 square meters. In Budva's Old Town, she is registered as the owner of 3.000 square meters.
Also attractive are the locations where the planners envisioned construction above the Mogren tunnel, where MCP has 22.000 square meters. MCP owns 18.000 square meters of land in Brajići, and about 6.000 square meters in Mazići.
The planned purpose of the buildings is low-density housing. Hotel complexes (business, congress, family), tourist accommodation facilities (apartments, hotels, boarding houses, villas, hostels), apartment housing, housing with business and commercial facilities, catering facilities (restaurants, buffets, bistros, pizzerias, taverns, taverns, discotheques, pubs...)
