Relevant Extracts Of Delhi Master Plan 2001 On Parking Space "Parking Space

(a) In respect of individual plot, the calculation for parking space shall be based on the total permissible FAR of plot size above 200 sq.m. after giving allowance of the parking space requirements for permissible FAR of a plot of 150 sq.m. in size as per norms given in the table for parking space.

(b) New plotted development scheme : The parking area is to be calculated @ 1.33 car space per 100 sq.m of total built up area permissible in the scheme and parking provision is to be made, in the layout plan partly by way of pool parking and partly in the individual plot.

(c) Parking requirement shall not be insisted upon in case of addition alteration in the existing building forming part of approved layout plan.

Parking Standard Page 1735 Parking space shall be provided for different types of development as per norms given in the following table. The standards given are in equivalent car space (ecs) and it includes parking for all types of vehicles i.e. cars, scooters, cycles and also light and heavy commercial vehicles. In case of wholesale markets and industrial area etc.

42. The MPD 2001, prescribes parking standards for various classes of institutions/ buildings. The relevant provision, namely tabulation at the foot of clause 8.4 of the Development Code, defines the parking standard for a cinema to be 1.67 ECS per 100 square meters. The parking standard for a commercial building, in the same table, is 2.00 ECS per 100 square meters. Note 1 to the table states that for the use/premises for which the parking standards are not prescribed, they shall be prescribed by the Authority depending on the merits and requirements of the individual case. Note 3 empowers the DDA to insist upon additional underground parking provisions apart from the basement area.

58. I am of the opinion that the structure and framework of existing norms, even while conferring discretion with the DDA, has left the matter regarding parking norms in an unsatisfactory manner. It would therefore be appropriate that whenever proposals are mooted for construction of cinema-cum-shopping/ commercial complex, shopping malls and/or multiplexes, the proposal is considered jointly by all authorities, including the DDA, which shall take into account the location of the construction, the traffic inflow, the likely demand for parking, including projected growth of vehicular traffic in the area, as well as increased traffic due to the construction, etc, while indicating the appropriate parking standard. In such cases, the DDA may also indicate the necessary additional measures, over and above basement parking, as per Note 3 to the table appended to clause 8(4) of the Development Code, MPD-2001.
