ᐅ Distance from neighboring property / height?? What is allowed? Confused

Hello, I’m new here and have no experience in construction. After a long time of consideration, I have now decided to build. After visiting the plot of land, a question came up that I hope you can help me with. The development plan specifies an average wall height of 6.5 m (21 feet) and 5.5 m (18 feet) and states that the setback distances according to the BayBo regulations must be observed. Please see the attachment.
However, the neighboring property is developed with a city villa that is at least 8 m (26 feet) tall and located 3 m (10 feet) from the property boundary.
Are there any special regulations for this? Can anyone provide information regarding the permissibility, or should I consider buying a different plot? I definitely want to avoid any problems after purchase related to this.
Thanks in advance for your help.

You’ve already been given a very good explanation of this. You can also read the BayBO regulations yourself – everything is clearly stated there.

So theoretically, could I also build a full two-story house with a hipped roof under this 16m rule? Or would I then have trouble with the other neighbor if I place such a large block in the sunlight? That is a question your hired architect should answer. It doesn’t have to be your responsibility.
I interpret the development plan as follows:
The goal seems to be a roughly uniform building height. Why isn’t that stated more clearly?
For the hip roof option, the standard setback distance is 6.5m (21 feet 4 inches), and on two sides with a maximum length of 16m (52 feet 6 inches), it is 3.25m (10 feet 8 inches).
Since 6m (20 feet) wall height is usually sufficient for two full floors, it’s possible that the neighbor builds up to 3m (9 feet 10 inches) from the property line. The 3m (9 feet 10 inches) is the minimum distance, meaning it applies both to eaves and ridge, not the calculated 2.75m (9 feet).

The setback on the street side is allowed to extend up to the middle of the street itself. So placing a large block in front of the neighbors would be possible. However, floor area ratio and plot coverage limits also apply, which somewhat restrict the size of the block.
Basically, I find the neighbor’s solution to the south quite good for this building plot. Garage in the northeast, living space and terrace facing south and west.

Unless someone has four children or a large car collection, it should be possible to add something there.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/
