The Law imposes a moratorium on change of target purpose of recreation lands. It charges executive power bodies and local self-government bodies with development of recreation territories.
Under the Law, the moratorium is imposed on a five-year-term on all the recreation lands irrespective of the property form in cities and other population centers, namely, on land plots of green zones and green belt; lands plots of physical training and sport facilities. The moratorium is not extended on the social relations caused by:
major reconstruction of neighborhoods (outland districts) of out-of-use housing facilities;
transfer of recreation lands for social needs;
transfer of land plots pursuant to the land development projects;
project urban construction after receipt of licenses in established order before this Law comes into effect.
The Law contains norms on the control over the observance of the moratorium on change of target purpose of recreation lands in cities and other population centers.
