IMPLEMENTING THE PLAN

Project 1: Redefining building norms and reorganizing built fabric Fixed front setback and mandatory Builtto-line at 6 meters

Quality and active public realm is enhanced through redefining building norms and reorganizing built fabric. The informal settlement of the built fabric is regulated by fixing the front setback at 6M and introduce policy that enforces to construct built-to-line to encourage organized growth and maintain the hierarchy of the public realm. Thus, public realm is kept clear at 6 metres.

No boundary wall allowed at front setback/ margin

To keep the realm active and developing, front margin setback area is considered as public realm and thus policy of no boundary wall in front is imposed in the proposal.

Parking not allowed in front (allowed in basement or at rear side)

Additionally, the informal parking and land encroachment through on street parking is regulated by redefining parking norms and spaces in the zone. No parking is allowed at the front edge of the building. Since front margins are kept preserved for quality realm, rear side of the building and basement are used for parking. Side margins are kept at 3M minimum to increase the frontage of the building between 6080% to enhance the vision of the corridor. There is relaxation on off street parking requirement and 20% minimum permissible off street parking allowed

Project 2: Promote land use which encourages mixed-income and mixed-use housing development

Providing incentives to developers for encouraging affordable housing closer to the transit corridor

The land that comes under public ownership is considered for redeveloped in the area. To encourage the affordable housing development, incentives are provided to the developer which is to attract the new construction to introduce build fabric along TOD corridor.

Introducing TOD zone as a primary zone

Introduction of the TOD overlaid zone as primary zone bypasses the premium on FAR payments and thus increases the acceptance of the development in the zone. The overlaid zone of TOD with 4 FSI is redefined as the zone whose base FSI is 4. The developers will be allowed to build upto 4 without any premium. Further, there will be relazation on premium on FAR. This is to allow developers to build high rise and utilized complete FAR as prescribed in the norms. This relaxation also leads to the development of affordable housing with in the zone which will allow people of low and mid income group to reside closer to the transit corridor.

Project 3: Envisioned development along TOD Redefining land parcels

Depending on the key strategies and proposals, a certain pattern of development should come up in the area. The land parcels are redefined and redeveloped to enhance the local area as more likable space.

Mixed-use development along TOD

The zone was previously dominated by the residential section, which now have mixed touch of all section.

Particular sector like affordable housing and mixed used development is emphasized to come up and enhance the build fabric quality at the most. Increase in affordability of housing is practices in the area and kept closer to the corridor, to increase the acceptance of public transits and reduce the acceptance of private motors.

Active public realm

For an active social lifestyle, quality public realm is planned and designed with in the zone, that will also focus on encouraging the walkability. Mixed used development along TOD corridor. Commercial activities increased from 0.2% to 2%. Majority of residences are proposed as affordable housing along TOD.
