The residents of high rise societies of Gautam Budh Nagar and Ghaziabad have demanded visitors' parking in society premises. Residents want the authority to amend the building bylaws of 2010 so that 10 per cent of the total parking is reserved for guests.

According to the residents, currently, their guests are forced to park on the slots meant for others which lead to unnecessary fights or sometimes the guest vehicles are not allowed inside, after which they have to park near the markets.

However, in March this year, the Noida Authority had invited suggestions from residents to initiate changes in building bylaws to streamline parking issues in the city.

According to the proposal, the authority wants to make it mandatory for all individual residential plot owners to have stilt parking to accommodate guest vehicles. In addition, the group housing developer will have to provide one parking space for every 50 sq m, as compared to the current norm of one parking space for every 80 sq m of space bought by residents.

Suppose, a builder buys a plot from Noida Authority that totals 2 lakh sq m. According to existing building bylaws norms, one parking space is to be allotted for every 80 sq m of space, thus for an area of 2 lakh sq m, there will be 2,500 parking slots (total area divided by 80 sq m). However, if the norms are revised, and parking is allotted for every 50 sq m of space bought, the number of plots jumps to 4,000.

Alok Kumar, president of Federation of Ghaziabad AOAs said that it was important to reserve some parking for the guests. "Some arrangement should be made for the guest parking. We will soon be talking about the issue with concerned authorities in Ghaziabad," said Kumar.

THE PROPOSAL

  • According to the proposal, the authority wants to make it mandatory for all individual residential plot owners to have stilt parking to accommodate guest vehicles. 
     
  • The group housing developer will have to provide one parking space for every 50 sq m, as compared to the current norm of one parking space for every 80 sq m of space bought by residents.
