CHAPTER 3
LAND USE CLASSIFICATION AND PERMISSIBLE USES.

24.0 GENERAL

The land ownership of Integrated Industrial Areas (IIAs), unlike that in a normal urban
area, entirely vests in one entity and as such, the Development Plan of the Special
Planning Authority will be in a position to distinctively earmark space for day-to-day needs
of the residents in a planned manner instead of the conventional practice of differentiating
between a purely residential zone and a residential zone where several other land uses
are also allowed to be mixed on the basis of the width of road on which a property fronts.

Thus, the conventional practice of classifying the residential use in to two classes may not
be banked upon. Instead, the Development Plan may earmark, within the residential zone,
distinctive spaces for non-residential support activities required by residents in a
hierarchical manner in the form of Neighbourhood Centres, Sub-City Centres and City
Centre depending upon the size of the IIAs. A set of clusters of such uses may be planned
in such a manner that the farthest distance from a nearest cluster is within a walking
distance of 500 to 1000 m.

Thus, there could be a centre that accommodates only service industries, another that
caters to day-to-day needs and some others catering to other needs such as shops,
restaurants, offices of professionals, clinics etc. These centres can be planned in such a
manner that they are encircled by at least 15 m wide roads to segregate them from the
surrounding residential use. They should adequately cater for associated parking and
loading-unloading needs.

Such arrangement of centres will not only ensure safe, healthy, quiet and attractive
residential neighbourhoods but will impart enviable efficiency to non-residential uses also.
Other public needs such as health, education and recreation facilities etc. which require
larger area, can be located in independent plots clearly designated as such in
Development Plan.

This type of development pattern is termed as Model-I Type Development.

Alternatively, if, because of constraints on the extent of land available or, for reasons of
taste, the ’Developer’ opts for the conventional practice of R1 and R2 zones within
residential zone, he may propose mixed land use system subject to following restrictions: -
 –

a. The mixed use development may be confined to roads which are not the
main arteries of IIA (i.e. widths of roads 24 m and above) and are not
proposed on roads narrower than 15 m in width ;

b. The mixed-use development should be confined to ground, first and, in

exceptional cases, second floor ;

c. The extent of non-residential uses in the aggregate shall not exceed the
stipulated one fourth of the area of the support activities ;

d. Access to residences shall be separate from those for other uses ; and

e. Parking for residential use shall be separately provided with independent

entry-exit.

This type of development pattern is termed as Model-II Type Development.

Intermixture of these two models of development shall not be permissible.

The classification of different land uses and different uses permissible in a specific land
use, clusters and independent plots are given below.

24.1 Model-I Type Development

24.1.1 The following uses and accessory uses to the principal use of residences shall be
permitted in buildings or premises in Residential Zone :

(i) Customary Home occupations, i.e. occupations customarily carried out by the
members of a household without employing hired labour and includes stitching
embroidery, button making etc. with or without motive power. If motive power
is used, the total electricity load should not exceed 1 H. P.

(ii) Accessory uses customarily incidental to use of a residence including storage

space, up to 50 percent of the total floor area used for the residence.

24.1.2 Clusters of Facilities in Neighbourhood Centres, Sub-City Centres and City

Centre: - Clusters for Class A Service Industries within different levels of Centres
shall be planned independently of the uses like shops for day-to-day needs, other
types of shops, offices and other facilities required by residents. The hierarchical
type and levels of activities to be arranged within different Centres is indicated
below: -

Notes :--
(a) As roads with 24 m width and above along with classified roads (except
village roads) are treated as arterial roads, uses other than residences on
such roads will conflict with the mobility function of these roads. No such
Centres of other uses shall, therefore, be permitted on these roads.
However, if frontage/service roads are provided along side such arterial
roads to facilitate access to adjoining properties, the aforesaid Centres of
other uses may then be allowed to front on such service roads, locally
widened to 15 m to accommodate both, the increased pedestrian activity
and vehicular parking of visitors in a parking lay-by.
(b) The Centrsshall be segregated from surrounding residential zone by 15 m
wide roads or layout open spaces.
(c) All goods offered for sale and brought for repair shall be displayed and
kept within the building and shall not be kept in the passages or footpaths

(iii) Biotechnology and Information Technology Units

The State Government has, from time to time, sought to promote high-tech areas of
industry in the State by offering incentives by way of additional F.S.I. to units and
technology parks devoted to biotechnology and information technology. The State
Government has also allowed such units anywhere in the State irrespective of the use
zones indicated in the Development Plans or Regional Plans. However, in Integrated
Industrial Areas, the Maharashtra Industrial Policy 2013 has already promoted the idea of
‘Global’ F.S.I. of 1.0 and as such, has put an overall limit on floor space to be constructed
in the Integrated Industrial Areas. There is, however, no limit on F.S.I. to be consumed in
individual plots. The individual units will be free to consume whatever Floor Space they
desire by purchasing it from the ’Developer’. The question, therefore, of allocating any
additional F.S.I. over and above the ‘Global 1.0’ will not arise. In order to utilise the full
potential of industrial zone within Integrated Industrial Areas, these regulations restrict
these units to choose plots within industrial zone of Integrated Industrial Areas.

ANNEXURE ‘E’
PLANNING STANDARDS FOR INTEGRATED INDUSTRIAL
AREAS
1.0 TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE
Following are the guidelines for development of transport infrastructure throughout the
Integrated Industrial Area.
(1) The urban landscape is characterized by a set of interdependent elements
that create a sense of place. These include road type, and the form and
disposition of landscape and lighting. Transport infrastructure provides the
IIA with moving lanes for vehicles, bicycles and public transport. A road is
associated with a particular type of movement, and is endowed with two
attributes: movement type and character. The movement type of the road
refers to the number of vehicles that can move safely through a segment
within a given time period; it is physically manifested by the number of
lanes and their width, by the centerline radius, the curb radius, and the
super elevation of the pavement. The character of the road refers to its
suitability as a setting for pedestrian activities.
(2) Roads can be assigned appropriately to Use Zones, with calibrated widths
for Rights-of-Way, movement types, design speed, number of travel lanes,
pavement width, curb radius and Verge type. They should reflect a clear
road hierarchy.
(3) The following additional assumptions govern the roads:
To clear sight lines for drivers, Visibility Triangles are required. (see
Figure 2)
Carriageway widths are measured
inside of curb to inside of curb.
Curb and gutter may range from fifty
(50) cm for township roads to sixty
(60) cm for classified roads such as
ODR, MDR, SH, NH etc. or roads
above 30 m in width.
Tree spacing should be provided to
match Plot Line spacing in smaller Figure 2: Visibility
plots and elsewhere at a spacing of Triangle
about 10 m.
Tree planters have a minimum dimension of 1.2 m x 1.2 m, increased
where possible to a 1.2 m x 2.4 m dimension.
In order to facilitate pedestrian safety, bulb-outs (see Figure 3) may be
added where road widths are wide (24 m and above) and design
speed high, or where sidewalks are
narrow (less than 2 m).
The accommodation of bicycles and
public transport requires detailed
response to the road dimensions
and traffic condition.
(4) Transport infrastructure must evolve
with the needs of the development. As
the development continues to increase, Figure 3: Bulb-out and
a road may change in character Tree Planters
 –

reflecting new density. For instance, a continuous lawn planter may be

replaced with individual tree wells for additional sidewalk space, or a wide
neighborhood street may be narrowed (traffic calming) to control traffic
intrusion.
(5) Bicycles need to be a viable mode of transportation and recreation in the
IIA. Bicycle use of roads needs to be as follows:
i. Bicycles and vehicles may share use of lanes on all roads.
ii. Roads that have sufficient carriageway width to accommodate
safety of bicyclists should include dedicated Bicycle Lanes.
iii. Greenways, waterfront walks and other civic spaces need to
include Bicycle usage.
(6) An IIA-wide bicycle plan may designate an interconnected network serving
bicyclists with a series of marked routes that include Bicycle Lanes as well
as Bicycle Routes that give bicycles priority, such as those roads which
parallel major corridors or include major corridors which can be
reconfigured to limit conflicts between vehicles and bicycles.
(7) Pedestrian comfort should be a primary consideration of road dimensions
and design. Design conflict between vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian
movement needs to be decided in favour of the pedestrian.
2.0 INDICATIVE NORMS AND STANDARDS
2.1 General
The basic objective of suggesting norms and standards is to provide a basis for taking
decision about their provision in a Development Plan. The norms and standards
suggested below are indicative and may be adapted suitably.
2.2 Norms and Standards for Residential Area
Provision of facilities in IIAs will be governed by their extent. The average household size
of around 4 and the average dwelling unit of around 50 sqm can be assumed in the
Integrated Industrial Areas resulting in 12.5 sqm per person. This leads to a simple
formula for converting gross area of Integrated Industrial Areas (in ha) in to population that
can be accommodated in residential part of Integrated Industrial Areas (assumed to
constitute 30% of gross area of Integrated Industrial Areas after accounting for commercial
at 10%) by multiplying the gross area of Integrated Industrial Areas (in ha) by a factor of
240. For smaller IIAs, i.e. with extent between 40 and 100 ha, the population will range
between approximately 10,000 and 24,000. For larger IIAs, population that will reside in
the 30% of the Integrated Industrial Areas area will be in excess of 24,000.
2.2.1 Recreational facilities : - These will consist of gardens/parks and playgrounds of
different sizes, sports complexes/ stadia, swimming pools etc. Norms for these are
given in table below. However, collectively, these facilities not be less than 10% of
the area under residential zone.

commercial purpose.
2.2.2 Education: - These will consist of day-care centres, nursery schools, pre-primary,
primary, secondary, higher secondary, college, trade and vocational schools,
special schools (for differently abled), university etc. The Development Plan will
need to provide space for at least primary and secondary schools in all IIAs and
for other levels and categories at Developer’s option. These could be grouped in
separate complexes along with other compatible uses. Norms for these are given
in table below.
Sr. Facility Norm Remarks
No.

schools, special
schools (for
differently abled)
(5) College/University As per U.G.C., I.M.C. and
A.I.C.T.E. norms as may be
applicable
2.2.3 Health facilities: - These will consist of dispensaries, clinics and poly-clinics,
radiological centres, pathological and laboratories, maternity homes, nursing
homes, homes for convalescents, mental hospitals, surgical and general hospitals
etc.
These are expected to be provided by private sector initiative. Where the
’Developer’ has opted for development of clusters for locating facilities instead of
usual R1-R2 type development, may earmark separate clusters for these either in
 –

district or in neighbourhood centres. In R1-R2 type development where hospital is

being proposed, the usual norm of 50 sqm per bed will hold good for deriving plot
size. For other facilities, areas can be as required by the enterprise.
2.2.4 Fire Station: - At least one Fire Station or Sub Fire Station within 1 km to 3 kms
for every 200,000 population or part thereof shall be provided with the following
requirements: -
Area for Fire Station with essential residential accommodation - 1.00
ha;
Area for Sub Fire Station with essential residential accommodation -
0.60 ha.]
2.2.5 Other facilities : - Land should be allocated for burial and cremation ground, solid
and liquid waste management and areas required for other utilities. The IIA will
also need several other facilities like libraries, community halls, cultural centres,
marriage halls, theatres, vegetable markets, gymnasia, swimming pools etc.,
however, these are expected to be provided by private sector initiative. Plots may
be allotted as per requirement and where facility cluster type development is being
opted for, the clusters may be planned for accommodating these uses in a
compatible manner.
2.3 Norms and Standards for Industrial Area
2.3.1 General : - Development Plan shall ensure that Industrial Buildings shall be at
least 23 m away from residences in Residential zone. The buffer provided by this
distance can be used as a landscape element or allocated for activities that will
not conflict with residential use e.g. open uses like play ground, parks and
gardens etc. Care should be taken to ensure that effluents and wastes of all types
from industries do not affect residential areas. Sufficient areas for treatment and
disposal of these would need to be allocated in the Development Plan.
2.3.2 Circulation Pattern : - This should conform in spirit to item 3.0 herein. As
industrial area is likely to experience presence of heavy vehicles with long
wheelbase as also articulated vehicles, it will be necessary that roads in industrial
areas are wide enough to accommodate them. A 15 m wide road has been
recommended as the absolute minimum except where exigency of situation
demands lesser width. Cul-de-sacs should, as far as possible, be avoided. In
addition to parking provision within individual plots, public parking would satisfy a
felt public need in industrial areas. Needs of public transport services like turning
spaces, bus terminals, bus bays and bus stops would also require adequate
attention.
2.3.3 Facilities in Industrial area : - Adequate space for locating facilities required by
both, the public visiting industrial units and the workers, will be necessary. These
spaces, in addition to parks and gardens, would cater for facilities like fire stations,
facility centres, health facilities including a central hospital, post and telegraph
office, banks, restaurants, hotels, and such other uses admissible in amenity
spaces.
