Mixed-Use Buildings

For a building to be considered mixed-use, at least 50% of its built-up area needs to be dedicated to non-residential purposes, such as offices, retail, or community facilities. This definition influences how regulations are applied.

Study Notes

Building Setback Requirements

  • Residential Buildings (Streets < 4.5m): Require a 2.25-meter front marginal distance.

  • Mixed-Use Buildings (Streets < 4.5m): Need a 3.75-meter total front setback on lanes narrower than 4.5 meters.

  • Small Plots (≤ 1000 sq.m, Congested Areas): Do not require any side margin.

  • Mixed-Use Buildings (Streets 6-12m): Require a 2.00-meter front setback.

  • Large Plots (> 4000 sq.m): Rear margin determined by congested area regulations.

  • Mixed-Use vs. Residential: Mixed-use buildings require a larger front marginal distance.

  • Plots (1000-4000 sq.m, Congested Areas): Require 1-meter side margin.

  • Residential Buildings (Streets ≥ 12m): Require a 2.00-meter front setback.

  • Additional Mixed-Use Setback (Streets < 4.5m): Require an extra 0.75 meters (2.25 -1.50) in front setback compared to residential.

  • Congested Area Margins: Side and rear margins primarily based on plot area.
