(1) (a) Site Extent.-- The minimum extent of site for construction of multistoreyed building shall not be less than 1,500 square metres.
(b) Road width.-- The site sh3all either abut on a road not less than 18 metres in width or gain access from public road not less than 18 metres in width through a part of the site which can be treated as an exclusive passage of not less than 18 metres in width:
Provided further that multi-storeyed building may be permitted with limitations on maximum FSI and maximum height of the building on a site abutting or gaining access from a public road of minimum 12 metres/15 metres in width, or gain access from public road not less than 12metres/15metres in width through a part of the site which can be treated as an exclusive passage of not less than 12 metres/15 metres in width, subject to compliance of the planning parameters stated in the Table subregulation (2) below.
(c) Minimum road width of 12 metre or above shall be permissible with multi-storeyed buildings without any further procedures. The height of multi-storeyed buildings will be technically correlated with the width of the abutting road. Once the road width is established based on records, these areas may be permitted with multistoreyed buildings. Special consideration may be given to any specific recommendation to the contrary of above rule. No further resolutions or otherwise will be required. In case of doubts or clarification or any related issue, Empowered Committee shall take a final decision.
Explanation.-- Road width means whole extent of space within the boundaries of the road/street measured at right angles to the course of direction of such road/street. The qualifying road width for permitting multi-storeyed building shall be available at least for a stretch of 500 metres along the length of the road abutting the site and the stretch from a junction can be straight or a curve or zigzag or combination of the above.
To cite examples:--
(a) If the road over its general length is of 18 metres width, but because of some kinks in front of the site one end is 17.8 metres and the other end is 18.2 metres is acceptable.
(b) If the general road is of width less than 18 metres width, but only widens opposite to or nearer to the site is more than 18 metres, is not acceptable.
(c) If the road is generally of 18 metres width upto a considerable length on one side, but discontinues and narrows into a road of smaller width on the other side of the site in question and the plot owner is willing to leave enough space for continuity of 18 metres road in front of his site, this will have to be checked and decided on case-by-case. This should be referred to Empowered Committee for appropriate decision.
(d) If the general road width is less than 18 metres and the site owner merely agrees to leave enough space to have 18 metres in front of his site only, this is not acceptable.
(2) The extent of the site, FSI, set back, etc., for multi-storeyed Building shall be regulated according to the Table below:-- Sl.
