The building permit has the project of the halls at Brno airport from 2007

Brno - On the land near Brno Airport, which the South Moravian Region offered to Amazon on Thursday, there has been a long-planned project for a complex of warehouses and related transport and technical infrastructure. The construction authority in Brno-Tuřany issued a zoning decision for this project in 2007 and subsequently also a building permit, confirmed Jitka Gallová, head of the construction and technical department, to ČTK.
However, it is still unclear to what extent the old project meets Amazon's requirements, which wants to build a hall of size 95,000 m². ČTK is looking into the details of the old project.
It is paradoxical that the city, according to the head of the Brno representative club ODS, Libor Šťástka, offered this land to Amazon, but always received a response back that it was not interested. "More locations were offered; we did not offer the area near the airport. Amazon chose the Černovická terrace," said Tomáš Budař, regional director of the development company CTP Invest, to ČTK.
It was exactly the Černovická terrace that the region offered to Amazon after the Brno city council on Tuesday rejected CTP's request for the sale of the remaining land needed for Amazon's warehouse for the third time. What the next steps of the Americans will be is unclear. "We have to wait to see how they decide," Budař stated. The Černovická terrace, the land near the airport, or Amazon's definitive withdrawal from Brno remains in play. CTP also requested on Wednesday to suspend the process of assessing the project's impact on the environment.
"It seems to me that Amazon really did not want the land near the airport or perhaps didn't even know about it. Either someone was pulling our leg, or the region is playing a rescue mission that they know will not end well," Šťástka thinks. Nevertheless, he considers the land near the airport ideal for Amazon, as it is located directly off the highway and the airport, away from residential development. "Additionally, the zoning plan here accounts for a logistics hall. At the Černovická terrace, it needed to be changed. If Amazon had gone straight to the airport, the project could be much further along today," Šťástka stated. Airport director Tomáš Plaček would also welcome Amazon’s arrival, at least due to the increase in freight transport intensity.
The new protective zone around the airport should not pose a problem either. It has not yet been approved and encompasses the entire affected land. "Under specific conditions, it is possible to build a logistics hall on it," Plaček told ČTK. The protective zone was pointed out by Hana Kašpaříková, managing director of the civic association Clean Tuřany, who opposed the project at the Černovická terrace and intends to continue doing so in case of the land near the airport. "This does not solve the problem with transport and the environment; the area is even closer to Tuřany," she stated. The mayor of Tuřany, Aleš Jakubec (ČSSD), did not want to comment further on the situation and is waiting for further developments and more information.
The South Moravian Region offered the land near the airport to try to keep a nearly three billion investment in the region, which would bring at least 1,500 jobs. It is unclear whether the Americans would hire a developer or build themselves.
