Construction of 2nd Floor at OXXO in Ajijic Centro

Been watching this on my daily walks. Still unsure what they want to put on 2nd floor. This is from Semanario Laguna with google translation so you have to figure out some if it yourself.

OXXO Ajijic Centro

DESPITE CLOSURE, WORKS ON THE SECOND FLOOR OF OXXO AJIJIC CONTINUE

THE SELF-SERVICE STORE IS LOCATED ON CALLE COLÓN, IN THE CENTER OF PUEBLO MÁGICO

February 14, 2023

The construction works of a second floor on the Oxxo de Colón, in the center of Ajijic have continued.

Sofía Medeles.- Despite the fact that the Jalisco State Urban Development Attorney (Prodeur) requested to close the works that are being carried out on the OXXO, located on Calle Colón, in the center of the Magical Town of Ajijic, the works continue.

The letter was issued on January 17, 2023, in which Prodeur reported that it had received a letter signed by the director of Cultural Heritage of the State Ministry of Culture, Francisco Javier de Alba Martínez, in which it is requested that intervention works are suspended, on the Oxxo located in the heart of Ajijic.

This suspension was required, since, according to the cited document, they do not have a technical opinion issued by the Ministry of Culture, which is needed in this case, since the construction is located within the area considered the historic center of Ajijic , which is registered in the inventory of cultural heritage of the State.

Although according to what was reported, the site was closed for a few days, at the close of this edition, the work continues. Information on the situation of the compound was requested from Social Communication of Chapala, however, nothing has been reported in this regard.

In order to continue or, where appropriate, apply sanctions as stipulated by the Regulations of the Cultural Heritage Law of the State of Jalisco, in the official letter issued by Prodeur, the Director of Development and Planning, as well as the Director of Regulations of Chapala, will present a report that analyzes the legality of the works, as well as facilitating the permits or the lack thereof. So far, it is unknown if there was already a response.

According to the sheet with details about the construction, which to this day is still posted at the door of the home that is in the process of being modified, these works correspond to creating a second floor to be used as a room. It has control number 1103 and folio CH-LIC-M 163-2022, works carried out by Inmobiliaria Ansaris SA de CV
