the following shall be substituted, namely:—
"ZONING REGULATIONS
1.0 All future developments shall be in conformity with provisions of the Development Plan. All future constructions within the planning area boundary prescribed in the Development Plan shall also conform to Kerala Municipality Building Rules in force.
2.0 For the implementation and enforcement of the proposals, envisaged in the Development Plan for the Area, areas have been zoned under various uses such as Residential, Commercial, Residential Mixed, Medical College Campus Area, Public and Semi-public zone other than Medical College Campus Area, Low lying zone, Small Industrial zone, Transportation zone and Water body. Details regarding the nature of uses "Permitted" uses "Restricted" and uses "Prohibited" in each zone are given in the accompanying sheets.
3.0 Uses " Permitted " in a zone cover the uses that can be normally accomodated in the relevant zone. In some cases it may be possible to permit some other uses also which are not likely to affect the quality and environment in a zone specified for the particular use. Such cases have to be individually studied based on the performance characteristics and special locational factors. Such cases which come under this category are classified as "Uses Restricted". "Uses Prohibited" enlists the various objectionable uses in each zone, which shall not be permitted under normal circumstances.
4.0 Zoning regulations are not intended to prohibit existing uses that have been lawfully established prior to the enforcement of these regulations. They are essentially intended to help the competent authority in decisions regarding granting or refusal of planning permissions for land use conversions and construction of buildings/structures or any other matter specifically mentioned in these regulations.
5.0 Existing religious uses, areas, and structures of archaeological importance
and agricultural uses may be permitted to continue in all zones.
