- The restriction was found to be inapplicable to the "pinui-binui" project in the Dora neighborhood.

- The decision allows for larger additions and balconies for residents.
The Netanya Municipality had initially imposed a policy limiting apartment expansions in urban renewal projects to a maximum of 12 square meters. However, it was discovered that this restriction did not apply to a specific "pinui-binui" (evacuation-construction) project in the Dora neighborhood. Residents in this project will now receive significant additions to their 46-square-meter apartments, along with balconies.
The municipality had demanded that apartment owners in the Dora neighborhood accept only a 12-square-meter increase based on the now-inapplicable policy. Following appeals by residents to the Appeals Committee and the District Court, the Local Committee re-evaluated its stance and agreed to remove the expansion limitation.
