Soil use certificate Concept.
It is a document that certifies the type of soil use on a specific property. It is mandatory for obtaining any urban planning license and for the installation and operation of commercial, service, and industrial activities that require a municipal patent (patente municipal).
Obtaining the Soil Use Certificate requires the signature of the owner or their legal representative.
Requirements.
For its issuance, only the application and the cadastral plan (plano catastrado) duly approved (visado) by the municipality must be submitted.
Validity.
The Soil Use Certificate shall have the validity of this Regulatory Plan.

Approval for cadastral registration (Visto bueno para catastrar) Approval for cadastral registration in case of segregation.
It consists of verifying compliance with the urban planning norms of the lots resulting from the segregation of farms, prior to registration with the National Cadastre.
To obtain it, the following is required:
a)- A certified copy of the cadastral plan (plano catastrado) of the parent farm. If there is no plan for the parent farm, a sketch of it.
b)- Property certification of being up to date with the payment of Municipal taxes.
c)- Five original plotters or heliographic copies of the property to be segregated, signed by the respective topography or surveying professional.
d)- Application signed by the owner or their legal representative.
Municipal Approval (Visado Municipal) Municipal Approval (Visado Municipal).
The Municipal Approval (Visado Municipal) is the homologation or verification granted by the Municipality so that a farm, lot, or plot is considered for urban, rural, or peri-urban use, accrediting compliance with the urban development requirements defined in the Regulatory Plan and the urban planning legislation and regulations in force.
The Municipal Approval (Visado Municipal) is mandatory for any simultaneous or successive reunion, division, or subdivision (subdivisión) of farms, into two or more lots, carried out on land classified as urban or developable by the Zoning Regulation. To acquire the Municipal Approval (Visado Municipal), the plots resulting from the mentioned acts must previously comply with the legal and urban development requirements stipulated in the Urban Planning Law, in the Regulation for the National Control of Subdivisions (Fraccionamientos) and Urbanizations of the INVU, and those established in the regulations of the Regulatory Plan.
The Municipal Approval (Visado Municipal) must be required as a prerequisite for the processing of any urban planning license that requires the presentation of the cadastral plan (plano catastrado).
Special cases that also require Municipal Approval (Visado Municipal).
The following cases have particular characteristics due to their legal or processing status, but these do not exempt them from the need to request the Municipal Approval (Visado Municipal):
a)- Consolidated lots.
Those lots registered in the National Cadastre before the entry into force of the Regulatory Plan and whose segregation is not registered in the Public Registry.
In addition to the above, those farms that, even if they do not comply with the dimensions established in the new regulations, are duly registered in the Public Registry of Property before the entry into force of this Regulatory Plan.
b)- Lots in legal processes.
Those lots that, upon the entry into force of the Regulatory Plan, are in litigation before the Courts of Justice and do not comply with the minimum requirements established in the regulations of this Regulatory Plan, and for which registration is ordered by legal mandate.
Requirements for obtaining the municipal approval (visado municipal).
To obtain the municipal approval (visado municipal), the following is required:
a)- A certified copy of the cadastral plan (plano catastrado) of the parent farm indicating the portion(s) to be segregated. If there is no cadastral plan for the parent farm, a detailed sketch of the parent farm indicating the portion(s) to be segregated, signed by the responsible professional, must be presented.
b)- Original cadastral plan (plano catastrado) with four copies.
c)- Property certification of being up to date with the payment of municipal taxes.
d)- Application signed by the owner or their legal representative.
Urban conditions Regional Urban Growth Boundary.
Imaginary line that delimits the urbanized and developable areas from the non-developable areas at the regional level and is defined in the PRUGAM Plan as the Urban Containment Ring, which is constituted by the existing and potential urban areas located in the lower parts of the Central and Guarco valleys.
Cantonal Urban Growth Boundary (LUC).
Imaginary line that delimits the urbanized and developable areas from the non-developable areas at the cantonal level and is determined in the Regulatory Plans. According to the definition established in the PRUGAM plan, the LUC is the legal boundary that separates urban land from rural land; the location factors focus on three main points: efficient land use, protection of the agricultural region at the city's edge, and profitable public services. The land inside the LUC will have access to urban services such as roads, water and sewer systems, parks, schools, recreational or ecotourism areas, citizen security, among others.
The Regulatory Plans establish the criteria to achieve clear distinctions between the soil use regime in urban areas, included within the LUC, and non-urban areas, located outside the LUC. Non-urban uses must be mainly agricultural, recreational, or very low-density residential.
The cantonal urban growth boundary or LUC must respect the regional urban boundary and must be set within its limits.
Urban Quadrant Boundary and Expansion Area (LCU) In those cantons where all or a large part of their territory falls outside the regional urban growth boundary, that is, within the production ring, there are quadrants and consolidated areas that have all the necessary infrastructures to be considered urban.
This contradicts the definition of the LUC, which states that all areas outside the LUC, i.e., non-urban uses, must be mainly agricultural, recreational, or very low-density residential. To prevent the scattered and uncontrolled growth of such consolidated nuclei, the Urban Quadrant Boundary and Expansion Area (LCU) is defined as that imaginary line that delimits the already urbanized areas and identifies the annexed areas or expansion areas that meet the conditions to be developed. This Urban Quadrant Boundary or LCU is defined in those quadrants that are district capitals in rural areas.
All land outside the LCU continues to maintain non-urban use; therefore, it must be mainly agricultural, recreational, or very low-density residential.
Coverage (Cobertura).
It is the maximum area allowed to build on a specific lot.
Height.
The height of the buildings shall have the maximum established for each of the sectors delimited in the Urban Planning Data Sheets (annexes of the Zoning Regulation). However, in specific cases, a greater number of floors than established may be built, up to a maximum height that will be determined based on the relationship of the road width multiplied by one point five (1.5), provided that environmental parameters permit it (adequate IFA), and the necessary urban infrastructure exists for the proposed development (services such as drinking water supply, sanitary sewer coverage, road dimensions and availability of sidewalks of adequate width, access to public transport, electricity, and other basic services).
Height shall be measured from the main access to the building, that is, from the main floor (vestibule) to the level of the crown beam. For this calculation, chimneys, parapets, low walls (antepechos), elevator housings, water tanks, metallic elements, nor recreational elements of the upper terraces shall be taken into account.
Alignments (Alineamientos).
The alignment (alineamiento) shall be granted by different institutions depending on the location of the lot, as indicated:
a)- The Municipality for properties fronting local roads.
b)- The Ministry of Public Works and Transport for properties fronting national roads.
c)- The National Institute of Housing and Urbanism for properties bordering the areas established in Article 33 of the Forestry Law (Ley Forestal).
d)- The Compañía Nacional de Fuerza y Luz, the Instituto Costarricense de Ferrocarriles, the Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad, the Instituto Costarricense de Acueductos y Alcantarillados, and other institutions, for properties affected by easements (servidumbres) of their competence.
Incentive for the transfer of areas to public use.
The coverage (cobertura) may increase when the developer grants a part of their property as an easement (servidumbre) for public use, by public deed.
The area on which a public easement (servidumbre) is constituted may be used by the owner underground, except when it concerns the portion corresponding to building line setbacks or in cases where it coincides with the routing of infrastructure such as drinking water pipes, sewer networks, oil pipelines, etc.
The areas to be transferred, whenever possible, must adjoin the existing public space, so that they are integrated into it.
The increase in area is obtained by dividing the original value of the maximum buildable area (AMC) by a Communal Factor (FC), which is determined as follows:
AMC / FC, where, FC = 1 - (% of urban area transferred to public use) Incentive for the use of underground space.
The areas of underground floors from street level shall not be taken into account for the calculation of the maximum buildable area or coverage (cobertura).
Historic Heritage Regime General Objective.
To incentivize and promote urban development consistent with the conservation of the historical, architectural, and cultural heritage of the canton, in order to enhance the urban image of the canton and contribute to preserving the memory of the community.
Specific Objectives.
a)- Respect the cultural, historical, and architectural heritage present in the territory of the canton.
b)- Maintain and promote sites and areas that possess historical-architectural value for the canton.
c)- Ensure the protection and conservation of sites and areas of historical-architectural value in the canton.
d)- Promote the creation of incentives for the preservation and restoration of heritage-value buildings present in the canton.
Prevalence over urban planning norms.
The protection regime for properties of historical-architectural interest shall prevail over urban planning plans and norms that were previously or eventually applicable to them.
Resolution of doubts regarding heritage aspects.
In case of doubt regarding any aspect related to the protection or conservation of heritage assets, the value of a heritage asset, or the use to which it should be put, the Centro de Investigación y Conservación del Patrimonio Cultural of the Ministerio de Cultura, Juventud y Deportes shall be consulted.
Penalties and Procedures General provisions on penalties and procedures.
Any act violating the Plan Regulador and its regulations committed by the professional responsible for a project, the property owner, their legal representatives, or by any administered party in general, shall be sanctioned as follows:
The installation of activities in existing buildings that imply a use not in accordance with the rules indicated in these Regulations shall be sanctioned with the closure of the premises, without prejudice to any criminal liability incurred.
The Municipalidad, in consultation with the Dirección de Urbanismo of the INVU, shall carry out the suspension of any work executed in contravention of the indicated zoning or the requirements included therein, and may order the assistance of law enforcement for this purpose.
All civil and criminal penalties contemplated in the corresponding laws shall also apply:
