Satu Mare approves new parking for Hotel Dacia renovation

The Satu Mare City Council has approved an urban development plan to create a private parking area for the renovated Hotel Dacia (formerly Pannónia). The project will be located on a 741-square-meter private plot at Jean Calvin Square 7, adjacent to the Ruha-István passage.

To facilitate the construction, a single-story residential building from 1904 and an outbuilding will be demolished. Planners noted these structures are in poor condition and lack significant architectural or historical value. The new facility will provide 17 parking spaces, including 13 for cars, two for minibuses, and two reserved for people with disabilities, along with storage for six bicycles.

The design aims to alleviate local traffic congestion. The terrain will be leveled to the height of the Ruha-István passage to allow vehicle access without a ramp, and entry will be managed by an automatic barrier. More than 30 percent of the area will be preserved as green space, and an existing large tree will be protected. The parking surfaces will feature permeable, grass-integrated paving.
