City Council Makes the Draft Segaar-Arsenaal Zoning Plan Available for Public Review
On May 9, the Municipal Executive of Voorschoten gave the green light to make the draft Segaar-Arsenaal zoning plan available for public review. This zoning plan will allow for the construction of 100 new homes on the site along the Korte Vliet.
On the north side of the development (on the left in the image), two apartment buildings will be constructed, containing a total of 43 apartments. The lower building will have 4 stories, and the upper building will have 5 stories above a semi-underground parking garage. The rest of the development area will consist of 8 duplexes, 48 single-family row homes, and 1 detached home. The new neighborhood will be accessible via Trompweg. On Leidseweg, there will only be a route for emergency services.
Councilman Hans van der Elst is pleased with the design. “If we’re able to carry out this plan, Voorschoten will gain yet another pleasant residential neighborhood. The waterfront location is fantastic, and there will be plenty of green space, especially on the east side. With 30% social housing, we’re also on the right track. This puts us ahead of the curve for the 2023 Housing Vision, in which we state that we consider it important to have sufficient affordable housing for every demographic.”
Construction on the Arsenaal site will be limited. Thirteen of the 100 homes will be built here. This will implement the spatial framework previously established by the city council.
