Zaragoza City Council Logroño on Thursday, 3 September 2026, approved the specific amendment to the Plan General Municipal (PGM) for the site of the Guardia Civil at the Calle Duques de Nájera finally. The aim is to clearly establish that public administration and training facilities will be permitted in the central part of the site in future. The city administration considers this a clarification of a plot already designated for public facilities.
According to the Logroño City Council the procedure was duly followed: preliminary decisions in the Junta de Gobierno Local, public consultation and now the final vote in the plenary session. The project is documented in the municipal records under Expediente URB28‑2025/0004 The application was submitted by the Guardia Civil in La Rioja .
The technical documents set out requirements for permitted heights and building volumes in the central area of the plot. They specify maximum building heights of four and eleven metres, as well as rules on distances and setbacks, particularly in relation to the neighbouring railway line and access from the road. The planning capacity of the plot as a whole remains essentially unchanged; the amendment clarifies the permitted uses and establishes them on a legally secure basis.
No specific construction projects, investment amounts or timetables were approved at the plenary meeting. The city says the decision improves the organisational arrangements for Guardia Civil administrative services and training in the city. Any effects on access, traffic flow and the intensity of use in the immediate area would be addressed in subsequent permits and detailed planning.
With the amendment now approved, the municipality is responding to the need to organise the functions of existing public-sector properties in the city centre. The measure is part of a series of ongoing adjustments to the Plan General Municipal, through which Logroño is specifying permitted uses in selected areas without undertaking comprehensive reassessments of entire parts of the city.
The aprobación definitiva will come into force once the decision has been published and the formal steps completed. No further decisions on tenders or construction phases have been made at this time. The city council said it would provide information on next steps once relevant project details are available.
