PMC’s new parking policy gets state govt approval
the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) taking into consideration the
present parking situation across the city. As per the new norms, the
builders would have to reserve additional parking space while developing
structures and the height restriction of buildings would be relaxed by
not including the parking floors in its total height.
“The new parking policy has come into force as the state
government has issued a notification,” said Vivek Kharwadkar, Additional
City Engineer. As per the new norms, developers can set aside podium
parking in the open space around the building on the condition that it
is at a distance of 3 meters from the boundary wall.
The developers will have to provide a parking space for three
cars, two scooters and one cycle for apartments of at least 1,500 sq ft
and parking for one car, four scooters and four cycles for an apartment
of 800 sq ft. For apartments between 400 sq ft and 800 sq ft, parking
should be provided for one car, two scooters and two cycles.
For every 40 seats in an auditorium, there should be parking
provision for five cars, 15 scooters and five cycles while the multiplex
should have space for six cars, 20 scooter and 10 cycles. A lodge
should have parking space of three cars and four scooters for every five
rooms. In colleges, there should be parking space for 40 scooters every
100 students.
