Office of Planning and Land Use
Regulating and Assisting Boundary Land's Urban Planning and Development
What role does the OPLU play?
The role and mission of the OPLU is to monitor and regulate planning and development in a manner beneficial to Boundary Land.
What exactly does the OPLU do?
The OPLU, as a major division of the Office of the Interior, carries out its mission in several different ways. Article XXII of the Second Constitution describes what the OPLU does:
- Checks that all starting buildings have been installed before a quarter begins operations. Officers are not permitted to begin operations until the OPLU has checked them over.
- Keeps an updated list or database of buildings, ports, and developments in the quadrant and how they’re being used (used to help BLESA and OEDA). The list must include the name of building, what time segment it was built in, the construction company that built it, and what tenants occupy the building.
- Indicates on maps or visually what space is left in each quadrant for development at the end of every second time segment. A company must be hired to create the maps.
- Rewards reimbursement to officers who build a minimum of two housing developments (i.e. apartments or uptown neighborhoods) by the end of the second time segment. The OPLU will pay for the entire cost of the building and issue $20 stipends (per time segment) to qualifiers. The Minister decides who will reimbursed, but may not reimburse himself without Presidential approval.
- Evaluate and review quarters or quadrants at the end of every time segment to check progress and growth. Two statements are issued. The first statement declares how the quarter’s officer did the past time segment in planning development. The second is a short recommendation of what can be done in the next time segment to keep away sprawl and not waste developed space.
