PREAMBLE

In order to promote public health, safety and the general social welfare

of the community, it is necessary to apply control and reasonable limitation

on the development of land and buildings. This is to ensure that most

appropriate, economical and healthy development of the town takes place in

accordance with the land use plan, and its continued maintenance over the

years. For this purpose, each town is divided into a number of zones, such as,

residential, commercial, industrial, public and semi-public etc. Each zone has

its own regulations, as the same set of regulations cannot be applied to the

entire town.

Zonal Regulations protects residential areas from the harmful invasions

of commercial and industrial uses and at the same time promotes the orderly

development of industrial and commercial areas, by suitable regulations on

spacing of buildings to provide adequate light, air, protection from fire, etc. It

prevents overcrowding in buildings and on land to ensure adequate facilities

and services.

Zoning is not retrospective. It does not prohibit the uses of land and

buildings that are lawfully established prior to coming into effect of these Zonal

Regulations. If these uses are contrary to the newly proposed uses, they are

6

termed non-conforming uses and are gradually eliminated over years without

inflicting unreasonable hardship upon the property owner.

The Zoning Regulations specially focus on promoting land aggregation

in order to ensure the planned development and better planning and execution

of infrastructure facilities. The necessary provisions have also been made to

ensure integration of various sub-divisions/ layouts and development plans.

The Zonal Regulations and its enforcement ensure proper land use and

development and form an integral part of the Master Plans of LPAs of BMRDA.

It also ensures solutions to problems of development under local conditions.

As there are different Zonal Regulations for Master Plans of different

LPAs within BMRDA, there has been need for the Uniform Zonal Regulation

for entire BMRDA jurisdiction to avoid further confusion while implementing

the regulations and for uniformed planned development. Hence to address this

requirement, Uniform Zonal Regulations for Master Plans of LPAs within

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 special regulations around

these monuments.

If the Planning Authority observes any Heritage structures, precincts of historic

and/or aesthetic and/or Architectural and/or cultural or environmental

significance and natural features and sites of scenic beauty, then Authority may

demarcate Areas of Special Control for regulation of development around these

areas, to preserve the importance of the concerned heritage structure and also to

control the surrounding developments so that they do not harm the grandeur or

beauty or view of the heritage structure for the purposes of implementation. A

special Heritage committee may be constituted with the prior approval of the

Government to examine the proposals of development or any matter related to

development, in the various regulation areas, if received by the Authority, under

the provisions of Special Regulations and to make recommendations to this

51

Authority for consideration. For monuments under ASI and the State Archeology

dept., the provisions of AMASR Act shall be followed. For other heritage structures

declared/ demarcated by the Authority, the following regulations apply.

a. Building up to and inclusive of first floor or up to a height of 7 m from

ground level, whichever is less, is permissible within a distance of 100 m

distance from the premises of the monuments.

b. Buildings up to and inclusive of second floor or up to a height of 10.5 m
