Draft General Development Control Regulations (DGDCR)
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.
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 ground floor covered parking 23 sqm per ECS (3.5m x 6.5m)
10.1. Introduction
The Draft Development Plan for the DSIR comprises of 15 land use zones. Development within the land use
zones will be regulated on the basis of hierarchy of the road from which any given land parcel is accessed.
Figure 10.1 illustrates the land use zones and road hierarchy respectively of the Draft Development Plan.
This chapter describes the permitted uses and development control regulations applicable for each land
use zone.
10.1.1. Special Regulation

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.
11.2.2. 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
11.2.10. 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.
1) The name of the subdivision project; the name and signature of the owner or the owner’s duly
authorized agent; the name of the surveyor, engineer or designer; the names of proposed streets;
the names of adjoining subdivisions or property owners.
2) The scale of the plan, which shall not be smaller than 1:1000; north point; date.
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.
• 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.
20.1. General
Industrial effluent shall not be disposed or exposed so as to cause nuisance and endanger to public health.
20.3. Regulation
Industries which emit liquid and gaseous effluents shall not be allowed to emit such effluent unless they are
purified and rendered harmless from the public health point of view by provision of purification plants, as
may be prescribed by DSIRDA and/or the Gujarat Pollution Control Board.
20.4. Applicability
Controls as prescribed from time to time by the pollution control board (GPCB)/ DSIRDA shall be applicable
to all development and redevelopment.
1. The industries which do not fall in any of the above mentioned 3 categories, decision with regard
to their classification will be taken by a committee at Head Office level comprising of the Member
Secretary and two senior officers of the Board/committee.
• 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
