07. Institutional use zone
08. Open space and recreational use zone
09. Agricultural use zone
10. Non-urban use zone

parking, setbacks (front, side, rear), frontage, width of abutting road, height and minimum plot
extent details are specified.
EG COMMERCIAL USE (tabulation given below)

Plot Coverage means the extent to which the plot is covered with a building or structure
and this is expressed as percentage of the ratio of the built up area in plot area.
Floor Space Index means the quotient obtained by dividing the total coverage area (Plinth
area) of all the floors by the plot area
Height of Buildings means the height measured from the average level of the central line
of the street on which the site abuts, provided that stair case rooms, lift rooms, chimneys and
elevated tanks above the top most floor and architectural features and parapet of height upto 1
metre shall not be included in calculating the height of building.
