ᐅ The Importance of Space-Effective Garages

Hello,

I have a question regarding the development plan that applies to our plot.

Parking spaces and garages as well as secondary ancillary structures are generally permitted on the plots outside the buildable area.
An exception to this is the plot areas that lie within 5 meters (16 feet) from the street boundary line (streets and paths). Here, enclosed garages including carports as well as ancillary structures are not allowed. This, of course, does not affect the permitted property boundary fences according to the local building regulations. This ensures the desired open and spacious development layout and contributes to a high-quality residential environment.

What exactly is meant by "enclosed garages"? We need to build our driveway on the southwest side of the plot, and our carport was originally planned right on the boundary to the southeast (we have an edge plot, so there is nothing further east). According to the development plan...

"raumwirksam" means "changing the surroundings." In other words, your garage should visually harmonize with your house. So, no bright pink glitter garage.

So much for the bright pink glitter garage.

It probably means that no above-ground structures are allowed within the 5m (16 feet) strip. Therefore, the carport cannot be built directly on the property line at the street but must be set back at least 5m (16 feet).

I had the same suspicion. It's a pity.

Is this kind of requirement common? Often garages or carports are located directly by the road.

In designated development zones, where zoning plans have been established, a 5m (16 feet) setback from the street is very common. Of course, this depends on the vision of the urban planners at the time the zoning plan was created. Traffic planners also have a say in this.

You have to imagine the situation in practice. Our building plot is located on a dead-end street with a turning bay. There will be no sidewalk. The roadway width is 4 meters (13 feet), just wide enough for the garbage truck to pass through. Parking along the edge of the street is therefore completely prohibited. The property boundary begins at the edge of the roadway. If everyone places their carport right at the boundary, maneuvering into the area will be difficult. These structures usually have a roof that extends a bit forward, encroaching into the clearance space above the roadway. Suddenly, the garbage truck could collide with it. So, the distance requirement is perfectly reasonable. Karsten
