AREAS OF SPECIAL CONTROL
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 following special
regulations around these monuments
1. Building up to and inclusive of first floor or up to a height of 7 m from ground level.

Whichever is less are only permissible within a distance of 100 m distance from the
premises of the monuments.
2. Buildings up to and inclusive of second floor or to a height of 10.5 m from ground level,
whichever is less are only permissible between 100 m and 200 m distance from the
3. Buildings up to and inclusive of third floor or up to a height of 14 m from ground level,

whichever is less are only permissible between 200 m and 400 m distance from the
NOTE: In any no building shall be permitted within 400 m above the height of the declared
monument.
DESRIPTIONS:
1. APPLICATION OF LAND USE

a. The proposed land use indicated towards the roadside of the property shall be the
land use for entire property (one property depth) without identifying it for different
uses by measuring as per the scale of the maps. This is applicable only to the built-up
area as shown in the existing land use map.
b. Different uses permitted in a given zone may be allowed in different floors of the
building, In such cases, the regulations applicable to the use of the ground floor of
the building shall apply to the entire building, When mixed land uses are permitted
in the ground floor, the predominant use among them shall be considered as the use
of the ground floor.
2. GENERAL RULES:
The following be considered while enforcing the setbacks of the types of building:
a. The front rear set backs shall be with reference to depth of the site.
b. Left and right set backs shall be with reference to width of the site
c. No side set backs shall be insisted upon only in the case of reconstruction of existing
building where traditional row housing type of development exists and in areas
specifically provided under the Zonal Regulations.
d. The provision of set backs should be read with tables prescribed for floor area ratio,
coverage etc., for different type of buildings.
e. When the building lines are fixed, the front set back shall not be less than the building
line fixed or the minimum front set back prescribed whichever is higher.
f. In the case of corner sites both the sides facing the road shall be treated as front side
and regulations applied accordingly to maintain the building line on these two roads and
provide better visibility.
g. In case where the building line is not parallel to the property line, the front and rear set
backs shall not be less than the specified set backs at any point.
h. In case of building sanctioned prior to coming into force of these rules which are
abutting other properties on one, two or more sides, upper floors may be permitted, to
utilize the available FAR, by obtaining no objection certificates from the adjoining
property owners or even without no objection certificates if the adjoining owner himself
has put up such abutting floors provided that not less than ¼ of the area is left as vacant
space, open to sky, if the existing building is retained.
i. In case of irregular plots set backs are to be calculated according to the depth or width
at the points where the depth or width are varying, In such cases, average set backs
should not be fixed at as they may effect minimum set back at any point.
j. The left and right set backs may be interchanged by the authority in exceptional cases
due to existing structures like: open well and also considering the topography of the
land.
k. Set backs should be provided in the owners plot, public open space or conservancy lanes
adjoining the plot should not be considered as setbacks.
3. FAR: When sites face roads of lesser width than one noted against them. Floor area
ratio and maximum number of floor applicable to corresponding widths of roads only
shall apply.
4. The height of the buildings coming with in the landing and take off zones of Aircraft in
the vicinity of Aerodrome should not exceed the height shown in the Table-11 ‘height’

desires and the strata is capable of yielding water.
9. Height of building: In the reckoning of height of buildings, headroom, lift room. Water
tanks on terrace, penthouse may be excluded.

PHASING OF INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT
The Master Plan of Sirsi Local Planning Area prepared up to the year 2021 A.D. for a
projected population of 1,20,000 persons. Considering this projected population details of land
required for future development are worked out and it covers an area of 1549.68 hectares. This
land required for development is taken from the existing developed area and also which fit for
development.
The existing developments and trend of future developments are seen in the entire land
proposed for development. The development programme and the heavy capital outlay for the
utility services, community facilities and acquisition of land for development should be
programmed as the city grows or expands and as needs arise instead of being completed much
in advance resulting in idle investment. Hence, it is proposed to have First and Second phase for
the entire plan period up to 2021 A.D.
CHAPTER-XVI
FINAL IMPLICATIONS
The provisions made in the Master Plan for Sirsi Local Planning Area involves,
expenditure for acquisition of land for various land uses, construction of houses, shopping
centres, formation of roads, provisions for civic amenities, utilities and services. The cost

municipality and loans from State and Central Governments, loan from the World Bank, Asian
Development Bank, HUDCO, N,H,B.,L.I.C and Banks and also by way of private investment,
private investments or developments by housing societies. On a rough estimate the private
investment may be fixed at about 50% for residential use, which is mainly for private housing,
private layouts including formation of roads and development or parks and open spaces and
50% for other developmental activities.
