Hello everyone,
We are currently in the process of purchasing a plot of land and have been giving some thought to the positioning of the house and other features.
I have uploaded an excerpt of the development plan with my own rough sketches added.
The development plan basically only specifies the building area (building boundary, not a building line) and the ridge orientation. The surrounding streets at the bottom and left are actually the same road, so it should not matter where I place the driveway or the main entrance of the house.
The building area covers approximately 16.5 m by 14 m (about 54 ft by 46 ft). After subtracting the 3 m (10 ft) minimum distance to the right neighbor, about 13.5 m by 14 m (44 ft by 46 ft) remain. I am planning for a house size of 11 m by 9 m (36 ft by 30 ft).
As far as I understand, and according to the building regulations of Rhineland-Palatinate, I can build the garage (which will probably be a double garage) up to the boundary of the neighboring property?
Regarding the terrace, however, I am unsure. Does it have to be within the building area? According to Section 62 of the building regulations, a terrace does not require approval. I mainly want to lay a few square meters of loose paving stones there. If it has to be within the building area, that will be tight.
Do you think my "rough" layout is permissible and sensible?
Wishing you all a great weekend in advance!

@Escroda, thank you for your detailed explanations!
Regarding the floor area ratio, the development plan refers to § 19 of the Land Use Ordinance: The permitted floor area according to § 19 paragraph 2 of the Land Use Ordinance must not be exceeded (§ 19 paragraph 4 of the Land Use Ordinance),
so 0.5 - 0.8.
Concerning the garage/parking space, the only requirement is that a garage must be located 5 m (16 feet) from the street and at least 2 parking spaces (or a double garage) must be provided. The exact positioning is not specified.
I will handle the terrace simply with the idea “no plaintiff, no judge.”
