The main content of this district unit plan is to upgrade the land use zone from the second-class general residential area to a quasi-residential area and relax the floor area ratio from 200% to 400%. 50% of the relaxed floor area ratio will be provided as public contributions, and the remaining 50% will be utilized by the private sector.

A residential complex building with 112 multi-family housing units and neighborhood living facilities will be constructed near Balsan Station station area, ranging from two basement floors to 15 stories above ground. The building will also include a local residential welfare center and 23 rental housing units as public contribution facilities.
