Official summary of the law (Knesset)

This amendment establishes an extension of the temporary provision for an additional year (until 7 August 2019), in order to allow continued examination of the implementation of the said provisions and of converting the temporary provision into a permanent provision. The purpose of the provision is to facilitate the establishment of hotels and create an incentive for their establishment. Among other things, it was established that an independent local committee shall have the authority to also approve additional residential building area on plots designated for hotel use, under the conditions and limitations specified in the temporary provision, including that the rate of additional area to be used for residential purposes shall be limited to no more than 20% of the total area permitted for hotel construction on the plot under the plan approved by the district committee. Accordingly, it will be possible to add 40% building rights, relative to the total area permitted for hotel construction under a plan approved by the district committee, and approximately half of this addition may be designated for residential construction. It was also established that a sub-committee for tourism infrastructure matters shall be established in each district, being a sub-committee of the district committee with a limited composition, and during the period of the temporary provision it shall be authorized to discuss plans within the area of a municipal authority whose main designation is for hotel use. It was further established that during the period of the temporary provision, the Committee for the Preservation of the Coastal Environment shall be authorized to discuss a tourism plan that was discussed by the sub-committee for tourism infrastructure matters or a plan of an independent local committee concerning additional residential area on a plot designated for hotel use, and to approve them, without requiring additional approval of the National Planning and Building Council for those plans.
