    Study Notes

    • The text outlines permissible uses for various zones in Mumbai, including offices for public utility concerns and organizations, police stations, warehouses, community facilities, convenience shops, hotels with up to 75 rooms, and branches of banks with safe deposit vaults.
    • Existing non-conforming uses can continue under certain circumstances, such as those that existed before the regulations came into force, those that do not extend or enlarge the non-conforming use, and those that are not industrial, hazardous, or likely to cause pollution.
    • In residential zones, no factories, workshops, or workplaces are permitted, unless they are compatible with residential use and are located on the ground floor.
    • Municipal land used for truck terminals shall be developed as comprehensive transport hubs and considered commercial zones for development.
    • In a Special Development Zone (SDZ), affordable housing, POS, and necessary social infrastructures are the focus. Other development in SDZ is permissible, but the Corporation will not provide any services or limited/available services.
    • Institutional development, such as educational institutions, medical institutions, and research & development institutions, is allowed in SDZ with a maximum FSI limit of 0.20 (excluding area of DP road) and, wherever possible, at one place on the total land.
    • In SDZ, non-conforming industries that are not hazardous or polluting and have been permitted to operate without the requirement to shift to a conforming zone after a specific period may be allowed to make additions to start a new process or manufacture new products, provided the degree of nuisance from the existing unit is not affected.
    • In C and I Zones, if the entire building is constructed for non-residential use, the requirement of separate access shall not be insisted upon.
    • In the development of a comprehensive transport hub, the area of parking and maneuverability of vehicles shall be allowed free of FSI.
    • The structures attracting the provisions of Maharashtra Slums Areas (Improvement, Clearance and Redevelopment) Act, 1971 shall be developed under a different provision in SDZ.
