New skyscrapers have been allowed to be built in the center of Yekaterinburg.

      In Yekaterinburg, a project for a unified protection zone for a group of cultural heritage sites in the city center has been developed. This includes more than ten buildings and ensembles in the blocks of Malyshev, Chernyshevsky, and Dobrolyubov streets. Such a conclusion follows from the materials of the expertise published on the portal of the State Protection of Cultural Heritage Sites of the Sverdlovsk Region.

      The protection zone includes a federal cultural heritage site at 46 Malyshev Street and regional monuments:

       "Building of the former city duma" (46 Malyshev St.);

       "Merchant N.A. Grachev's house" (2 Chernyshevsky St.);

       "The house where Ernst Neizvestny was born" (8 Chernyshevsky St.);

       "Mansion of I.M. Fedorov" (9 Chernyshevsky St.);

       "Residential house" (8 Dobrolyubov St.);

       "Estate of E.S. Borodina" (9, 9a Dobrolyubov St.);

       "Estate of merchant K.I. Langgauz" (10 Dobrolyubov St.);

       "Razanov's house" (Building 11 Dobrolyubov St.);

       "House of the Old Believer's Assumption Chapel" (12 Dobrolyubov St.);

       "House of U. O. Petelina" (14 Dobrolyubov St.);

       "House of Y.K. Krivoshein" (10 Shchedrin St., lost).

      A significant part of the territory has been transferred to construction regulation zones with revised parameters.

      In the Unified Construction Regulation Zone (EZRZ)-1, four plots along Dobrolyubov and near the estates and mansions have been included. There are restrictions up to 9 meters and no more than two floors. These parameters were already in effect for a number of objects but are now consolidated in a unified regime.

      In the EZRZ-2 zone, adjacent to the building of the RSDRP (b) headquarters and the historical low-rise development, a height of up to 12 meters (up to three floors) has been established. These restrictions also generally repeat the existing norms.

      In the EZRZ-3 zone, the parameters have been softened: here, the construction of buildings up to 16 meters high is allowed. Previously, restrictions of up to 12 meters were in effect for part of these territories.

      Significant changes are provided for the EZRZ-4 zone. Currently, this is the protection zone of the cultural heritage site "Razanov's House" with a construction ban and the regulation zone for the construction and economic activities of the Old Believer's Assumption Chapel. For plots where construction bans or restrictions of up to 12 meters are in effect, construction up to 21 meters is now allowed.

      The most noticeable change concerns the EZRZ-5 zone, where the permitted height has been increased to 33 meters (up to 14 floors), the EAN publication clarifies.

      It was previously reported that a new snow dump is planned to be built in Yekaterinburg.
