The document proposes amendments to Building Rules issued in G.O.Ms.No. 103 regarding podium and tower buildings. It notes that G.O. 103 allowed podium buildings without height restrictions and only required fire vehicle access at ground level. However, many proposals for podium buildings over 100-150 meters are coming in, and firefighting may be difficult on podiums with towers constructed above a 5 floor podium. The department proposes amending G.O. 103 to require a 7.5 meter ramp for fire vehicle access to podiums and a 7 meter setback with 9 meter turning radius on podiums, and restricting tower heights to a maximum of 75 meters.
