In February of 2003 several deputies of the Saeima, including also Leopolds Ozoliņš, Jānis Strazdiņš, Pēteris Kalniņš, Indulis Emsis, Andris Bērziņš and Augusts Brigmanis addressed an appeal to the Procurator General’s Office, requesting it to assess the legitimacy of alienation and renting of particular land plots in Jūrmala. Inter alia the deputies pointed out that the Jūrmala City Dome has not taken into consideration the requirements of Article 36 of the Law on the Protected Belt, namely, it has allowed alienation of the state owned plots in the protected coastal zone of the Baltic sea, without requesting the Cabinet of Ministers (henceforth – CM) to pass the Decision on it. The deputies stated that at the time of elaboration of the land use plan of the territory the public viewpoint has not been taken into consideration either (see Latvijas Vēstnesis February 13, 2003, No. 24). When verifying the above the Procurator of the Procurator General’s Office Department of Protection of the Rights of Persons and the State Guntis Akmeņkalns established that several land use plans not only were at variance with the Development Plan (henceforth –the Master Plan) of the City of Jūrmala but also had not been elaborated in compliance with the Cabinet of Ministers December 5, 2000 Regulations No. 423 ”Regulations on Territorial Planning” (henceforth – Regulations No.423). On April 24, 2003 G.Akmeņkalns –under the procedure envisaged by law- submitted application to the Jūrmala City Dome. He required to suspend as unlawful the enforcement of Dome Regulations No. 18 and No. 10. On the same day he forwarded the letter to the Minister of Regional Development and Municipal Affairs, requesting to suspend the enforcement of the above binding Regulations under Article 49 of the Law ”On Local Governments”. In its April 20, 2003 written reply to G.Akmeņkalns the Jūrmala City Dome pointed out that the facts mentioned in the application were untrue, namely, that the Jūrmala City Dome had not violated Regulations No. 423 and requested the Procurator to repeatedly assess the requirements, mentioned in the application of April 24, 2003. 2 On May 27, 2003 the Minister of Regional Development and Municipal Affairs passed Order No. 2-02/57 ”On Suspension of the Enforcement of the Jūrmala City Dome October 24, 2001 Binding Regulations No.17 ”On the Jūrmala Detailed Land Use Plan in the Territory between the Bulduri prospect, Rotas Street and 23-25 Avenues”” (henceforth – Order No. 2-02/57). It is pointed out in the Order that the Jūrmala City Dome February 3, 2000 Decision No. 85 ”On Amendments to the Jūrmala City Development Plan (Master Plan)” (hereinafter – Decision No. 85) has not been adopted in the form of binding Regulations and thus the Master Plan, confirmed in 1995 was still in effect. Besides, the public dispute about the detailed land use plan lasted for three weeks; but Regulations No.423 establishes that public disputes in such cases shall be at least four weeks long. The Jūrmala City Dome has also not taken into consideration the negative conclusion on the above detailed land use plan, expressed by the State Inspection for the Protection of Cultural Monuments on October 15, 2001. On June 2, 2003 the Minister of Regional Development and Municipal Affairs passed Order No. 2-02/60 ”On Suspension of the Enforcement of the Jūrmala City Dome October 9, 2002 Binding Regulations No.10 ”On the Confirmation of the Detailed Land Use Plan for the Public Centre in Vaivari”” (hereinafter – Order No. 2-02/60) and another Order No. 2-02/62 ”On Suspension of the Enforcement of the Jūrmala City Dome November 7, 2001 Binding Regulations No.18 ”On the Confirmation of the Detailed Land Plan for the Plot Bulduri 1001””. In the motivation of the Order the Minister points out that ”with the above detailed land use plan the Jūrmala City Dome changes the planned (permitted) use of the territory included in the Jūrmala City Development Plan (Master Plan). When establishing the above fact, the Jūrmala City Dome had to take the Decision on commencement of elaborating the amendment to the plan of the territory or the detailed land use plan had to be elaborated as the basis for amending the planning of the territory of the municipality”. Thus the Minister expresses the viewpoint that the Jūrmala City Dome has violated the requirements of Regulations No.423. The submitter of the claim holds that Orders No.2-02/57; No.2-02/60 and No. 2-02/62 do not comply with the principles of a law-based state, among them principles of legitimate trust, proportionality and legal stability, following from Article 1 of the Republic of Latvia Satversme (hereinafter – the Satversme). The principle of proportionality to the mind of the submitter limits freedom of performance and arbitrariness of the executive power and is based on certain criteria. As concerns this principle to submitter’s mind the Minister has not sufficiently assessed the influence of his Orders on the rights of private 3 persons, which had lawfully arisen on the basis of the suspended binding Regulations by the municipality. The principle of legal stability in its turn secures planned for certain terms execution of the activities of the executive power. As the Minister did not pass his Orders in due time – after the adoption of the municipality binding Regulations, to the mind of the submitter the principle of legal stability has been violated. In its answers to the questions of the Constitutional Court the submitter specifies that the principle of legitimate trust shall be observed as regards private persons and not as regards the Jūrmala local authority, however, to his mind the principle shall be respected also by the state when organizing the administration process, like when examining the legitimacy of the detailed land use planning. Several administrative acts, based on the above binding Regulations, have been passed. The addressees had trusted the legitimacy of the activities performed by the state and thus- they had planned their personal activities. Taking into consideration the fact that the addressees of the administrative act believed in trust in law, their legitimate trust shall be protected. If the State violates the above principle, the addressees of the administrative act shall receive remuneration from the state (the municipality). The Institution, which has passed the challenged act – the Minister of Regional Development and Municipal Affairs (henceforth – the Minister) does not agree with the viewpoint of the submitter. In his written replies the Minister expresses the viewpoint that the detailed land use plans, confirmed by the suspended binding Regulations of the municipality, have not been elaborated in conformity with Item 52 of Regulations No. 423, which regulates the procedure of elaboration of the plans. The submitter, when realizing that the detailed plans change the Master Plan, should have taken the Decision of amending it. The nature of the detailed plans certifies that with the help of the plans the Master Plan is being altered and in this case the procedure of their adoption, confirming and taking effect shall be in compliance with the procedure, which is applied when making amendments to the territorial planning.

  • JŪRMALA Your MICE Destination 10 REASONS to CHOOSE JŪRMALA AS YOUR MICE DESTINATION
    JŪRMALA your MICE destination 10 REASONS TO CHOOSE JŪRMALA AS YOUR MICE DESTINATION UNDISCOVERED 1. GEM According to the MICE global trends, the corporate clients are looking for the uncommon, distinguished destinations and experience to make the delegates feel the exclusiveness of the event. Jūrmala is a European resort “off the beaten track” with a great MICE destination potential – safe, green, sustainable, conveniently accessible, affordable, with well- designed infrastructure. Still undiscovered enough, still special, still unique. INTERNATIONAL 2. ACCESSIBILITY Jūrmala is located just 25 km away from the Latvian capital of Riga and only in 15-minute drive from Riga International Airport that offers more than 60 direct flights. In low season, the traffic to/from Jūrmala is always light and predictable that helps to manage the time efficiently and avoid wasting precious minutes in traffic. SIZE 3. MATTERS Although Jūrmala population is just a bit more than 55 000, it is the second largest city in Latvia after Riga. Thus, population density figures are very inviting for the visitors who are looking for the privacy and their own special snug place on the beach after the day’s hard work. When it comes to event planning, the advantage of the small well-planned city infrastructure is obvious. As the main hotels, restaurants and special venues are concentrated in the city center within walking distance, there is no need to worry about the transfers. Another advantage for the organizers, as A penny saved is a penny gained. SOCIAL PROGRAM 4. AND TEAM-BUILDING ACTIVITIES Be it a workshop for the narrow-field professionals or international conference, the delegates are always looking forward to the unofficial networking opportunities and exciting team building activities to get more personal with their colleagues.
