a number of use zones, such as, residential, commercial, industrial, public and semi -

lawfully established prior to the coming into effect of these Zonal Regulations. If these
uses are contrary to the newly proposed uses, they are termed non-conforming uses and

Areas of special control
The historical monuments in any city reflect the past glory of the city. As they attract
tourists both from inside and outside the country. While permitting developments
around historical monuments, care has to be taken to see that their aesthetic environs
are not affected. In order to preserve aesthetic environs around these monuments it is
necessary to declare the areas surrounding these monuments as zones of special control
and impose the following special regulations around these monuments.
Building up to and inclusive of first floor or up to a height of 7 m from groundlevel, whichever is less, is permissible within a distance of 100 m distance fromthe premises of the monuments.
Buildings up to and inclusive of second floor or up to a height of 10.5 m fromground level, whichever is less are only permissible between 100 m and 200 m
distance from the premises of the monuments.
Building up to and inclusive of third floor or up to a height of 14 m from groundlevel, whichever is less are only permissible between 200 m and 400 m distance
from the premises of the monuments.
Note: In any case no building shall be permitted within 400 m above the height of the
declared monument.
2. General rules:
The following shall be considered while enforcing the set backs of all types of building:
a. The front and rear set backs shall be with reference to depth of the site.b. Left and right set backs shall be with reference to width of the site.
No side set backs shall be insisted upon only in the case of reconstruction ofexisting building where traditional row housing type of development exists and in
areas specifically provided under the Zonal Regulations.
d. The provision of set backs should be read with tables prescribed for floor arearatio, coverage etc., for different type of buildings.
e. When the building lines are fixed, the front set back shall not be less than the
8/13/2019 Biaapazoning of Land Use and Regulations 1
28/45
building line fixed or the minimum front set back prescribed whichever is higher.
f. In the case of corner sites both the sides facing the road shall be treated as frontside and regulations applied accordingly to maintain the building line on these
two roads and to provide better visibility.
g. In case where the building line is not parallel to the property line, the front andrear set backs shall not be less than the specified set backs at any point.
h. In case of building sanctioned prior to coming into force of these rules which areabutting other properties on one, two or more sides, upper floors may be
permitted, to utilise the available FAR except in the front to enable road
widening, if any.
i. In case of irregular plots set backs are to be calculated according to the depth orwidth at the points where the depth or width are varying. In such cases, average
set backs should not be fixed at as they may effect minimum set back at any
point.
j. The left and right set-backs may be interchanged by the authority in exceptionalcases due to existing structures like: open well and also considering the
topography of the land.
i ) For all the high-rise buildings NOC from the following departments shall be
obtained.

Schedule II
Rain Water Harvesting
Rainwater harvesting is compulsory in all buildings in plots of 4000 Sq mtrs and above,
it includes storage or recharging into ground of rainwater falling on the terrace or on
any paved or unpaved surface within the building site.
The following systems may be adopted for harvesting the rainwater drawn from terrace
and the paved surface.
1. Open well of a minimum of 1.00 m dia. and 6.00 m in depth into which rainwatermay be channelled and allowed after filtration for removing silt and floating
material. The well shall be provided with ventilating covers. The water from the
open well may be used for non-potable domestic purposes such as washing,
flushing and for watering the garden, etc.
2. Rainwater harvesting for recharge of ground water may be done through a borewell around which a pit of one meter width may be excavated up to a depth of at
least 3.00 m and refilled with stone aggregate and sand. The filtered rainwater
may be channelled to the refilled pit for recharging the bore well.
3. An impervious storage tank of required capacity may be constructed in thesetback or other than, space and the rainwater may be channelled to the storage
tank. The storage tank may be raised to a convenient height above the surface
and shall always be provided with ventilating the surface and shall always be
provided with ventilating covers and shall have draw off taps suitably place so
that the rain water may be drawn off for domestic, washing, gardening and such
other purposes. The storage tanks shall be provided with an overflow.
4. The surplus rainwater after storage may be recharged into ground throughpercolation pits, trenches, or combination of pits and trenches. Depending on the
geomorphologic and topographical condition, the pits may be of the size of 1.20
m width x 1.20 m length x 2.00 m to 2.50 m depth. The trenches can be or 0.60 m
width x 2.00 m to 6.00 m length x 1.50 m to 2.00 depth. Terrace water shall be
channelled to pits or trenches. Such pits or trenches shall be backfilled with filter
media comprising the following materials.
1. 40 mm stone aggregate as bottom layer up to 50% of the depth;2. 20 mm stone aggregate as lower middle layer up to 20% of the depth;3. Course sand as upper middle layer up to 20% of the depth;4. A thin layer of fine sand as top layer;5. Top 10% of the pits / trenches will be empty and a splash is to be
provided in this portion in such a way that roof top water falls on the
splash pad;
6. Brick masonry wall is to be constructed on the exposed surface of pits /
8/13/2019 Biaapazoning of Land Use and Regulations 1
34/45
trenches and the cement mortar plastered;
7. The depth of wall below ground shall be such that the wall prevents losesoil entering into pits / trenches. The projection of the wall above ground
shall at least be 15 cm;
8. Perforated concrete slabs shall be provided on the pits / trenches.
5. If the open space surrounding the building is not paved, the top layer up to asufficient depth shall be removed land refilled with course sand to allow
percolation of rainwater into ground.
The terrace shall be connected to the open well / bore well / storage tank
/recharge pit /trench by means of H.D.P.E. / P.V.C. pipes through filter media. A
valve system shall be provided to enable the first washings from roof or terrace
catchments, as they would contain undesirable dirt. The mouths of all pipes and
opening shall be covered with mosquito (insect) proof wire net. For the efficient
discharge of rainwater, there shall be at least two rain water pipes of 100 mm dia
for a roof area of 100 sq m.
Rainwater harvesting structures shall be sited as not to endanger the stability of
building or earthwork. The structures shall be designed such that o dampness is
caused in any part of the walls or foundation of the building or those of an
adjacent building.
Sub division regulations for residential use
The purpose of these regulations is to guide the development of new areas in
accordance with the land use plan. As long as this is done on sound planning principles
with adequate space standards, the future of the Town is assured. This will not
necessitate costly corrective measures, which would become necessary, if sub-standard
growth is allowed to take place. These sub-division regulations are confined to
standards of size of plots, street widths and community facilities.
Size of plots
No building plot resulting from a sub-division after these regulations come into force is
smaller in size than 54 sq m in residential zone. In specific cases of sites for housing
schemes for economically weaker sections, low income groups, slum clearance and
Ashraya housing, the authority may relax the above condition.
