Haryana Cabinet which met under the Chairmanship of Chief Minister, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini here today accorded approval to the Policy regarding utilisation of land earmarked as Mixed land Use in Various Department Plans of the State. The provision of mixed land use zones has been made in few development plans of the State, wherein, residential, commercial, public and semi-public as well as, industrial use are proposed.
Since, the percentage of uses allowed in such mixed land use zones has not been prescribed in the respective development plans, therefore, the permissions for setting up of different permissible projects therein could not be granted and are pending with the Department. Hence the Cabinet has approved a comprehensive policy to address the said issue.
As per the newly formulated Policy, the residential, commercial and institutional uses in mixed land use zones shall be permitted irrespective of any percentage cap viz-a-viz net planned area of the relevant sector/zone. However, other planning parameters including approach & area norms shall be followed as per zoning regulations of the relevant development plan and prevailing policies of the Department framed for grant of such permissions for rèsidential, commercial and institutional use from time to time.
In the already notified development plans, where industrial use is shown as permissible along with other three compatible uses i.e. residential, commercial & institutional, the industrial use shall be restricted to existing extent and no expansion thereof shall be permitted in future. However, the extension of such uses within the existing premises may be considered.
Further, in case any of the owner(s) of such existing industrial unit seeks change of land use to any of other three conforming uses i.e. residential, commercial & institutional, then the same shall be permissible strictly in accordance with the applicable policy parameters and norms.
Besides above, the projects having mixed land use i.e. residential or/and commercial or/and institutional shall be permitted in the proportion of 70:30 i.e. minimum 70 percent dominant use and maximum 30 percent allied use. The percentage of allied use can be minimized upto 7.5 percent, i.e.
This Policy stipulates the following planning/area norms for mixed land use approvals.
