"... old and new buildings with the height of 16 metres from the level of a road with a width of 16 feet would have a 1.8 floor area ratio.
The builder will have to take a structural stability certificate for constructing a building of 15 metres height. ... the process has been simplified for constructing a building on a plot of 300 square metres. All the new buildings will be earthquake resistant.
As per the bylaws, only ground plus one storey building with a ceiling of 7 metres will be allowed on 12 feet wide road. One can construct G+2 (of 10 metre height) on a road more than 12 feet wide, but the floor area ratio (FAR) would not exceed beyond 1.5. Likewise, on a 16ft wide road, G+2 (of 16 metres height) with FAR 1.8 is allowed. On a 20ft wide road, a G+3 building could be constructed with FAR 2 and on 30ft road, it could be G+5 with FAR 2.5.
This apart, a G+3 has been allowed on 20ft road while G+5 on 30, 40 and 60ft road would have FAR of 2.5. On an 80ft wide road, the FAR would be 3.0, for 90 and 100 feet it would be 3.5 each. Any new building would have to spare minimum 25 percent and a maximum 35% of the total area for parking. Buildings constructed in groups on a bigger plot would have to spare additional 15 percent land for the movement of ambulance. ..."
