Draft General Development Control Regulations (DGDCR)

9. General Development and Building Requirements

9.1. Development Control


Regulation of any development in terms of permissible FAR, building height & setbacks in all land use zones
shall be governed by the width of the road which the plot is accessed by. These regulations are provided in
a comprehensive form in Chapter 10, Zoning Regulations
This chapter deals with other general provisions for all developments such as parking, plantation and
maintenance of trees, resource efficiency, water conservation, and general building requirements.
9.1.1. Relaxation in FAR or Other Development Controls
A. DSIRDA shall permit the FAR and Built‐up Area of any land/plot or building unit on the basis of its
original area, if the owner of such land surrenders the land affected by road widening or for
construction of new road without claiming any compensation thereof; provided that all other
requirement mentioned in this regulations are fulfilled.
Minimum required space of setback/margin shall have to be provided from the new boundary of
land/plot affected by road widening.
B. In case of new construction, constructed according to the provisions of the sanctioned Draft
Development Plan where permissible height is not achieved even after consumption of permissible
FAR, additional FAR upto 25% of permissible FAR may be permitted subject to other provision of
the regulation.
Provided for such construction, structural stability shall be furnished for the existing and new
construction by an Authorised Structural Engineer. The above additional FAR may be permitted on
payment of an amount towards additional infrastructure charge at the rate of Rs. 1500.00 per sqm.
C. DSIRDA may give permission for public facilities (CETPs, STPs, substations etc.) in any zone as/if
required irrespective of zoning designated in the Development plan in public interest
D. DSIRDA can grant special permission in height, FAR, Ground Coverage for Special Buildings (Star
Hotels, Hospitals etc.) which have special privileges (under various Government Policies issued
time to time) (in reference to Special Regulations for Hospital & Hotels)

9.2. Open Spaces


In any layout or sub‐division for all land use zones, minimum percent of plot area as given in Chapter 11
shall be reserved for open spaces as either park, play area or recreational space, which shall, as far as
possible, be provided in one place and shall be of regular shape.
A minimum 50 percent of the minimum open space shall be left unpaved. Paving, if required shall be of
pervious type with grid pavers or concrete blocks allowing percolation of water into the soil.
Tree plantation is encouraged in open spaces on large tracts of open spaces and native vegetation area may
be left undisturbed in their natural State.

9.3. Sustainability
It is recommended that new construction buildings adhere to sustainability guidelines laid out by the Green
Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment (GRIHA) rating system developed by the Ministry of New and
Renewable Energy, Government of India and The Energy Research Institute (TERI).
Of the complete criteria listed under the GRIHA rating system the following are of greater significance to
these development regulations:
1. Preserve and protect landscape during construction/compensatory depositary forestation
2. Soil conservation (post construction)
3. Design to include site features
4. Reduce hard paving on site
5. Plan utilities efficiently and optimise in‐site circulation efficiency
6. Provide at least minimum level of sanitation/safety facilities or construction workers
7. Reduce air pollution during construction
8. Reduce landscape water requirement
9. Reduce building water use
10. Efficient water use during construction
11. Optimise building design to reduce conventional energy demand
12. Renewable energy utilization
13. Renewable energy based hot water system
14. Water recycle and reuse (including rainwater)
15. Storage and disposal of waste
16. Minimise ozone depleting substances
17. Ensure water quality
18. Tobacco and smoke control
19. Operations and maintenance protocol for electrical and mechanical equipment
20. Innovation
It is recommended that new construction should target achieving certification under the GRIHA evaluation
system at a minimum, which entails achieving a minimum score of 50.

9.4. Minimum Plot Sizes


General
Minimum plot sizes for buildings shall be as per the Table 9.1 below.
Table 9‐1: Minimum plot sizes for buildings

RESIDENTIAL BUILDING TYPE MINIMUM PLOT SIZE

Petrol /CNG/LPG Pump without service station 1200sqm
Service Establishment/ workshop 500sqm
Community Hall/Theatre/Multiplex/Party Plot 3000sqm
Utility Buildings/Public Amenities 500sqm

Plots having area less than 300 sqm should have setbacks/margins on three sides (front – rear – any one
side) and plots having area 300 sqm or more than should have setbacks/margin on four sides (front – rear –
both sides)

9.5. Parking
9.5.1. General
The principle objective of the parking standards is to ensure that, in assessing development proposals,
appropriate consideration is given to the accommodation of vehicles attracted to the site within the
context of the recommended city‐wide policy aimed at promoting more sustainable forms of transportation
such as public transit by buses and trams.
Where developments incorporate more than one land use which is functioning simultaneously, e.g. a
warehouse containing a large office or a multi‐storey residential apartment containing a restaurant, the
combined figures applicable to both uses will apply. Conversely, in multi‐purpose development where it can
be shown that separate uses operate at different times of the day greater flexibility will be applicable to
consider shared parking strategies
Parking requirement for all building types is given in Table 9.2 in terms of Equivalent Car Space.
The minimum area of parking space will be as follows:
Equivalent Car Space:

• For open parking 18 sqm per ECS (3m x 6m)

• For ground floor covered parking 23 sqm per ECS (3.5m x 6.5m)

• For Basement 28 sqm per ECS (4m x 7m)

• Truck/bus: 3.75m x 7.5m

11. Development of Land and Sub‐division Regulations

11.1. Scope
This section provides general requirements used in the design, review and approval of any subdivision plan
and applies to any private developer as well as Government agencies involved in such development.
Questions of interpretation of any of these subsections should be discussed with the planning staff of the
Regional Development Authority at the earliest possible time in the development of a subdivision proposal.

11.2. General Requirements


11.2.1. Consistence with adopted Land‐Use plan
All layout subdivision of land approved under this chapter should be consistent with the adopted Land‐Use
plan and the applicable zone regulations. This would include specific area level plans for public facilities,
such as streets, parks and open spaces, schools and other similar facilities.

11.2.2. Conformity
The proposed street system shall be designed to provide a network of interconnected streets so as to
facilitate the most advantageous development of the entire neighbouring area. Stub streets be provided to
adjacent properties where feasible, so as to provide for future inter‐parcel access and potential public right
of way.

The proposed street system shall extend existing streets on their proper projections. A cul‐de‐sac shall not
be used to avoid connection with an existing street or to avoid future extension. Cul‐de‐sac and other
permanently dead‐end streets are permitted where one or more of the following conditions offer no
practical alternative for connectivity:

1) Topographical conditions.
2) Environmental conditions.
3) Property shape.
4) Property accessibility.
5) Incompatible land use relationships

11.2.3. Discouragement of cut‐through traffic


Residential street system shall be designed to establish circuitous routes to discourage cut‐through traffic.
The street design shall have multiple connections, existing and future, to disperse traffic impacts and
reduce speeding. Where feasible, all new development shall provide more than one access for ingress and
egress at the time of development. Consideration for Cut‐through traffic shall not apply when a street is
designated as a thoroughfare.

11.2.4. Relationship to Railroad Rights‐of‐way


When a subdivision adjoins a railroad right‐of‐way, the subdivider may be required to arrange the street
pattern to provide for future grade separation of street and railroad crossing.

11.2.5. Mature Trees and Natural Vegetation


Streets and development sites shall be designed to protect and preserve the shafts of matured trees and
existing natural vegetation to the greatest extent possible.

Dholera Special Investment Regional Development Authority, Gandhinagar

11.2.6. Access to Parks, Schools and Greenways
Streets should be designed and walkways dedicated for easy access to parks, schools and greenways and
other areas of public assembly. The width of the dedicated street shall be enough to accommodate service
vehicles for maintenance purpose.

11.2.7. Parallel Streets along Thoroughfares


When a tract of land to be subdivided adjoins a highway, an arterial or sub‐arterial road, the developer may
be required to provide a street, parallel to the highway. Direct access to properties shall be allowed only
through public streets which in turn form a part of the larger circulation network. No direct access to
properties shall be provided from highway arterial and sub arterial roads. Direct access to properties shall
be restricted to major public facilities and large developments at the discretion of the DSIRDA.

11.2.8. Public School and Park Sites


When a tract of land that appears in any adopted plan as a future public school, Public Park, greenway or
open space and this site falls within an area proposed to be subdivided, the planning staff will notify the
appropriate agency of the proposed subdivision and its effect on the future public site. The agency shall
decide, in the time period spelled out by the planning authority after preliminary approval, whether to
reserve the site. If the agency does not wish to reserve the site then the subdivision plan shall not be
approved. The appropriate agency will have time available from the date of preliminary approval to acquire
the site by purchase.

11.2.9. Public Facilities


When a tract of land that appears in any adopted plan or policy document as a future site for any
community service facility, including but not limited to police and fire stations, libraries, public housing or
other public use sites, falls within an area proposed to be subdivided, the planning staff will notify the
appropriate agency of the proposed subdivision and its effect on the future public site. The agency shall
decide, in the time period spelled out by the planning authority after preliminary approval, whether to
reserve the site. If the agency does not wish to reserve the site then the subdivision plan shall be approved.

11.2.10. Easements
Easements established to the width and in the locations required by the engineering department or the
utility department, but in no case less than 3m wide, should be provided for open or piped storm drainage,
sanitary sewers and water lines. This requirement applies to such lines installed at the time of the
development of the subdivision and to easements for such lines which may reasonably be expected to be
installed in the future.

11.3. Plan Requirements


The subdivision plan submitted for approval must be drawn to the following specifications and must
contain or be accompanied by the information listed. No processing or review of a preliminary plan will
proceed without all of the information listed.

This section contains specifications for streets which must be followed in the subdivision process.

Dholera Special Investment Regional Development Authority, Gandhinagar


DSIRDA 101|P a g e
Draft General Development Control Regulations (DGDCR)
11.5.1. Right‐of‐way
A proposed street right‐of‐way must be of sufficient width to accommodate the required cross section.
However in no case will the dedicated and reserved right‐of‐way be proposed to be less than the following
standards, unless the Regional Development Authority engineer certifies that such special circumstances
exist, which make the dedication or reservation of the full right‐of‐way unnecessary or impractical.
Table 11‐1: Street Right‐of‐Way Standards
STREET TYPE MINIMUM RIGHT‐OF‐WAY (METRES)
Access controlled expressway 250
Industry Priority Arterial 70
Arterial Roads 55
Sub Arterial Roads 40
Collector Roads 30
Truck Corridor 25
Local Roads 20
Narrow Streets 15, 12

Additional right‐of‐way may be necessary in the area of interchanges, intersections, cut/fill areas, or areas
where horizontal or vertical alignments must be improved and will be determined on a case‐by‐case basis.
When a developer elects to establish a roadway divided with a median, the right‐of‐way width must be at
least the proposed width of the median, plus 15m. The 12m wide street may only be used subject to the
following conditions:
1. It serves no more than 50 dwelling units.
2. All land which touches the street must be subdivided into plots or must be otherwise plotted so
that a further street extension is not possible.
3. It is designed to be permanently dead ended or is a loop street with no additional street
connections except at the ends.
11.5.2. Arterial Roads Right‐of‐way
Whenever a tract of land to be subdivided includes any part of an arterial road shown on the thoroughfare
plan approved by the planning body of the DSIRDA, a right‐of‐way for the arterial street must be reserved
in the location and to the width specified in the plan.
The developer is responsible for the dedication of the right‐of‐way up to 30m (15m on either side of the
centreline) or the reservation of the right‐of‐way. The remainder of the minimum required right‐of‐way
over 30m must be reserved for future right‐of‐way use and must be shown as such on the final layout plan.
All measurements involving minimum lot standards under this chapter and under the zoning ordinance will
be made at the edge of the full right‐of‐way.
All of the area of the dedicated right‐of‐way, for any public street except 20mwide road or 12m & 15m wide
roads, may be used in the computation of development rights, but may not be used for the computation of
plot area, open space, required parking, storm‐water retention, or to fulfil any other mandatory
requirements.

Dholera Special Investment Regional Development Authority, Gandhinagar


DSIRDA 102|P a g e
Draft General Development Control Regulations (DGDCR)
11.5.3. Street Intersection Geometry
Where there is an offset in the alignment of a street across an intersection, the offset of the centrelines
may not be less than 30m.
11.5.4. Block lengths
Smaller block lengths between 140m to 180m are preferred but in no situation, blocks lengths will be more
than 300m. DSIRDA may authorize block lengths in excess of 300m where one or more of the following
conditions exist:
1) Topographical conditions.
2) Environmental conditions.
3) Property shape.
4) Property accessibility.
5) Incompatible land use relationships.
Block widths must be sufficient to allow two tiers of plots except where single tiers of lots will facilitate
non‐residential development and the separation of residential and non‐residential developments or the
separation of residential development from thoroughfares.
11.5.5. Cul‐de‐sac
Cul‐de‐sac or other permanently dead‐end streets shall not be longer than 150m. The planning staff may
authorize longer cul‐de‐sac lengths. The distance of a cul‐de‐sac shall be measured from the centreline
intersection to the centre point of the cul‐de‐sac. The cul‐de‐sac shall be terminated by a circular right‐of‐
way not less than 25m in diameter. Alternate turnaround designs as accepted by the engineer may be
considered. If a vehicular connection is impractical, a pedestrian and/or bicycle connection may be required
from the cul‐de‐sac to the nearest streets.
11.5.6. Narrow Streets
In certain circumstances, streets may be constructed on a 15m right‐of‐way and with a 9m cross section.
When a street serves 50 dwelling units or less and is permanently dead ended, this smaller standard may be
used. All other appropriate standards of this chapter still apply to the construction of such a street.
11.5.7. Collector street designation
The designation of a collector street, or the determination of the need for a collector street, will be based
on the following criteria. If the street in question meets at least two of the criteria, the street will be
designated as a collector street and must be built to the appropriate collector street standard:

• The street intersects directly with an arterial street and provides access to an area with an overall
density of more than five dwelling unit per hectare, or provides access to more than 125 dwelling
units.

• The street by its general configuration, in relationship to the existing development of the area, in
effect serves a collector function.

• The street extends into an undeveloped area in such a manner as to serve a future collector
function.

Dholera Special Investment Regional Development Authority, Gandhinagar


DSIRDA 103|P a g e
Draft General Development Control Regulations (DGDCR)
• The street serves as a primary access to a significant non‐residential, institutional or recreational
land use, as well as an access to a residential area.

11.6. Design Standards for Lots


11.6.1. Frontage on Street
Each plot in a subdivision must have frontage on a street. However, lots designed for certain multifamily
dwellings need not front on a street, provided that all portions of the dwelling unit proposed for such plots
are located within 100m of a public street or private street that furnishes direct access to the property, and
that access to each such plot be made available via either a public right‐of‐way or a private vehicular or
pedestrian way owned by the individual plot owner in fee or in common ownership.
Plots designed for certain one‐family, semidetached dwellings need not front on a street, provided that at
least one unit of each dwelling group has frontage on a street and that access to each dwelling unit is made
available via either a public right‐of‐way or a private vehicular or pedestrian way owned by the individual
lot owner in fee or in common ownership.
Plots or building sites which are part of a larger non‐residential development, such as a shopping centre,
need not about a street so long as the overall site abuts a street in such a way that access is furnished to all
interior lots or building sites.
11.6.2. Sidelines
Side lot lines shall, as nearly as practicable, be at right angles or radial to street lines. Where side lot lines
intersect at the rear of the lot, the angle of intersection shall not be less than 60 degrees.
11.6.3. Building lines
Building lines shall be established on all plots in accordance with the appropriate zoning classification. The
building line shall not encroach upon the required setback and the setback requirements shall regulate the
placement of any structure relative to the street right‐of‐way including all front, side and rear plot setbacks.
11.6.4. Driveway Connections
Prior to the construction of any driveway or other connection within the right‐of‐way of a public street, a
permit must be secured from the planning department of the Regional Development Authority.

11.7. Common Plot

DSIRDA 226|P a g e
Draft General Development Control Regulations (DGDCR)
Appendix B: Protection of Buildings, Structures and Infrastructures in Hazard Prone Areas
A. Protection Of Areas From Earthquakes
1. In those areas where there are no dangers of soil liquefaction or settlements or landslides, all
building structures and infrastructures should be designed using the relevant Indian Standards as
provided in the Building Regulations and the National Building Code (NBC)
2. Soils subjected to liquefaction potential under earthquake shaking, can be improved by
compaction to desired relative densities, so as to prevent the possibility of liquefaction.
3. Buildings and structures could be founded on deep bearing piles going to non‐liquefiable dense
layers.
4. Steep slopes can be made more stable by terracing and construction of retaining walls and breast
walls, and by ensuring good drainage of water so that the saturation of the hill‐slope is avoided.
5. Any other appropriate engineering intervention to save the building structures or infrastructure
from the fury of the earthquake.
Note: The protective action given under (2) to (5) will usually involve large amount of costs and
should only be considered in the case of large and costly structures. For ordinary buildings the cost of
improvement of the site will usually be uneconomical, hence bad sites should be excluded by Land
Use Zoning.
B. Protection from Cyclonic Wind Damage
1. Buildings, structures and infrastructures in the cyclone prone areas should be designed according
to the Indian Standards and Guidelines as provided in the Regulations and the National Building
Code (NBC).
2. Light utility structures used for electrical transmission and distribution, and towers for
communications, chimney stacks of industrial structures require special design considerations
against the cyclonic wind pressures, suctions and uplifts.
3. In case the buildings, structures and infrastructures are founded on marine clay deposits it will be
advisable to adopt either under‐reamed piled foundations, or individual column footing with a
reinforced concrete beam located at the level of the ground, or a continuous reinforced concrete
strip footing.
4. Wherever, the top soil could become slushy due to flooding, the top layer of 30 cm depth of soil
should not be considered for providing lateral stability v. In storm surge prone areas, it will be
preferable to construct the community structures, like schools, cyclone shelters, etc. by raising
the level of the ground protected by provision of retaining walls at sufficient distance away from
the building, taken to such depth that no erosion takes place due to receding storm surge.
Alternatively, construct the community structures on stilts with no masonry or bracing upto the
probable maximum surge level.
C. Protection of Areas from Floods
This may require one or more of the following actions:
1. Construction of embankments against the water spills from the source of flooding like rivers,
large drain etc.

2. Construction of high enough embankments/bund around the planning area.
3. Raising the planning area above the high flood level.
4. Construction/improvement of drainage paths to effectively drain the water from the planning
area.
5. Construction of buildings and structures on deep foundations going below the depth of scour or
on stilts with deep enough foundations under water.
6. Flood proofing works such as the following:
Providing Quick Drainage facility, consisting of

• Revitalisation of secondary and primary drainage channels after establishing the drainage
blockage points;
• Provision of additional waterways;
• Clearing of clogged cross drainage works;
• Providing Human and Animal Shelters for population living within embankments in the form
of raised platform or use of available high ground.
7. Anti‐erosion actions in affected areas
8. Any other suitable measure.
Note:
1. Similar protection methods could be used against flooding caused in cyclone prone areas by high
intensity rains or by the storm surge.
2. The concept of land zoning should be kept in mind for areas where protection works are taken
up to decide inter‐se priority for location of structures considering possibility of failure of
protection works during extreme disaster events
