15.0 MIXED USE
15.1 PROVISIONS OF MIXED USE
Mixed use essentially means provision of nonresidential
activity in residential areas. In the
situation, where in a number of residential
areas, commercial activity has already intruded
formulation of a balanced policy of mixed use
considering its environmental impact and the
socio-economic need of the society is of
utmost public importance.
On a single premise or in an area, mixed
residential and non-residential activity has its
positive and negative environmental and
socio-economic impacts. It suits the present
socio-economic needs of a large section of the
society and reduces the transportation needs
and traffic movement considerably. However,
unless properly regulated and in certain
conditions it could have quite an adverse effect
in terms of congestion, pollution and general
inconvenience to the people of the area.
In view of the above the following approach is
suggested: -
1) Non-residential activity on residential
premises should be permitted selectively
and carefully taking into consideration
community needs, environmental impact
and provision for safe and easy traffic
circulation and adequate parking.
2) In case of new developments, planned
mixed residential and non-residential
activity should be introduced right at the
time of the preparation of the layout
plans along with the planning of
Commercial Centres for which
appropriate provision of parking,
circulation and services be kept in view.
Norms for parking and commercial use
on different floors be specified.
