ᐅ What does it mean: Floor area ratio 0.4, plot ratio 1.2, number of storeys II - II?

This could also mean that you MUST build 2 full stories. The large floor area ratio allows for a huge house with 500sqm (5382 sq ft) of living space, which could be spread over 3.5 floors (3 full stories plus 1 attic floor).

There is still a lot to learn during construction, and many surprises. Even if things generally go well, you will be relieved when everything is finally completed.
The biggest problem is that there is no legal expenses insurance to enforce your rights if necessary. You have to deal with every issue yourself. It is all the more important to only pay invoices after the work has been completed properly and without defects.
We are still annoyed 3 months after moving in with minor issues such as a crooked sink, which the plumber refuses to replace or fix, a few scratches on the expensive extra-cost door, and other small construction quirks.

No. Only if the Roman numerals are circled.

Hello everyone,

to make things a bit more complicated, I would like to add a few small but potentially important remarks.

@Payday: Whether terraces and driveways are included depends on the date when the municipality made the zoning plan publicly available. The zoning regulations valid at that time must be applied. The most significant changes, such as the inclusion of garages and ancillary buildings, occurred in 1990. However, the changes from 1968 should not be overlooked either. The city of Frankfurt am Main provides a very useful guide on this topic on its website.

@Bauexperte: If the way the number of floors is written in the zoning plan is really as stated, the information should be understood as minimum and maximum values, meaning at least two and at most three full floors.

@juus1: Your calculation of the garden depth assumes that you are allowed to build directly on the street boundary line. It might be worth checking whether building limits or setback lines are also established. If you already have fairly concrete ideas for your construction project, consider consulting with the building services.

Hello,

That is also how I learned it; without a circle, the II- or III-storey designation does not necessarily have to be strictly followed. If the specification is found, as described and without a circle in the development plan, two storeys can be achieved according to calculations but still appear externally as a single storey.

With the bungalow, it becomes mathematically quite interesting.

They must have had something in mind with the large floor area ratio and II-III, and the neighboring houses will likely look similar.

How do you come to the conclusion that a bungalow might be permitted?
