The partial amendment of the Namyangju City Building Ordinance, primarily proposed by Assemblyman Kim Ji-hoon (Guk), aims to clarify the installation standards for rural stay-type rest areas in accordance with the partial amendment of the 'Enforcement Rules of the Farmland Act' to prevent farmland damage and confusion at the site.
