A new residential area is being developed near us, and I want to buy a plot of land to build a semi-detached house. Each unit should have about 150m2 (1,615 sq ft) of living space, plus 2 garages and 2 parking spaces.
The plot size is 750m2 (8,073 sq ft), with a site coverage ratio of 0.4, a floor area ratio of 0.8, a ridge height of 4.5m (15 ft), and a building height of 9.5m (31 ft).
I went to the local building authority for advice, and they warned me to be careful with the site coverage ratio of 0.4 regarding my plan, but they did not go into details. The semi-detached house is planned to have a footprint of about 15x15m (49x49 ft). I cannot yet say where the garages or the access paths to the garages will be located. I would build them on the right side next to the turning area, but then there would not be enough setback from the street, which is only allowed in special cases.
Assuming a long driveway to the garages has to be built and this causes the site coverage ratio to be exceeded, would that be accepted? I have read that overruns of up to 50% for accessory structures (driveways, etc.) are tolerated (NRW).
What do you think?

HilfeHilfe18 Jan 2019 11:36I can’t say anything about that.
According to the design, I don’t see a semi-detached house planned there, or am I mistaken? Otherwise, it might be better to spend a bit more and build a detached single-family house!
Unfortunately, I cannot say to what extent the floor area ratio is tolerated. If there are other plots available, I would prefer some of those, especially in this regard!

1. garages and parking spaces including their driveways,
2. ancillary facilities as defined in § 14,
3. structural installations below ground level that only underpin the building plot,
must be included. The permitted floor area may be exceeded by up to 50 percent due to the floor areas of the installations mentioned in sentence 1, but not beyond a floor area ratio of 0.8; further minor exceedances may be allowed. The zoning plan may specify different regulations from sentence 2. Unless otherwise stated in the zoning plan, exceptions to the limits set out in sentence 2 may be granted on a case-by-case basis.
This is how it is stated in the land use ordinance. However, you will have to do the calculations yourself, as they depend on your specific planning.
