MUMBAI: The BMC’s bold proposal to build public parking a lot (PPL) has gained a setback with the state government rejecting reservations for such plots while approving the Development Control and Promotion Regulations (DCPR). The reservation would have ensured that developers assemble public parking a lot while growing their initiatives.
The BMC’s town making plans department and DP’s making plans committee, headed via former IAS officer Gautam Chatterjee, had put a reservation on 84 plots, mostly within the island town, to create parking space for 50,000 automobiles.
Under the scheme, a plot proprietor had to assemble PPLs on the first few floors of a construction for the BMC freed from value. In lieu of this, the BMC would allow further development on part of the world surrendered for public parking.
Officials mentioned that unless there's a reservation, developers may not assemble public parking a lot as the new DCPR offers a floor space index (FSI) of three within the island town.
Earlier, when the FSI used to be 1.33, PPLs had been an incentive as they greater the construction attainable of a plot. For instance, in an previous scenario, when the FSI used to be 1.33, a plot where a 10-floor construction used to be authorized, the builder may just increase a 23-storey tower.
And then if the builder opted for PPL scheme, s/he would assemble 4 floors on the base of the construction for parking and in turn, would be allowed two more floors. But with the new DCPR that allows and FSI of three within the island town, a builder can anyway assemble a 30-floor construction on the same plot, making the PPL incentive redundant.
Adding more floors to a construction on this plot would be disproportionate, mentioned professionals. The government notification on DCPR says that where PPLs had been proposed, all such reservations/designations shall deem to be deleted. Town planners agreed that there is a want to create more parking space to de-congest roads as automobiles should be parked alongside the roads.
An engineer said that the federal government must reconsider its determination in better public passion. In the sooner construction plan (DP) of 1991, there used to be parking zone (PL) reservation, but because it used to be not enough for the collection of automobiles within the town, in 2014, the BMC came up with a new scheme and later integrated it within the new DP.
