The Karnataka government proposes to grant 40% of land in developed layouts to owners of land to enable urban development authorities form residential layouts without difficulties.
Minister for urban development S Suresh Kumar, who reviewed
the functioning of urban development, planning and municipal
planning authorities today, told reporters that developed
layouts would be owned by the urban development authorities
and land owners in the ratio of 60:40.
The model has been adopted by the Gujarat government and
emulated in several other states, he said.
In developed layouts, 45% of the total area would be allotted for residential, 15% for parks and open spaces, 10% for civic amenities and 30% for roads.Urban development authorities (UDAs) of Bijapur, Shimoga and Tumkur have been working out a plan to develop layouts on 60:40, Suresh Kumar said.
There are 29 urban development authorities, 35 planning authorities and 46 municipal planning authorities in the state
Noting scarcity of lands coming in the way of formation of layouts in UDAs, Suresh Kumar said he was dissatisfied with functioning of 15 UDAs which have not taken up works in their jurisdictions. Shortage of land was a major problem in Kodagu district, he said, adding all UDAs which failed to implement works would be downgraded as planning authorities.
The Karnataka Town and Country Planning Act, 1961,would be
amended on a model of a legislation developed by Town Planning Organsiation, New Delhi. The state’s Town Planning Department has been asked to prepare a draft of the Act in two months.
Officials of urban bodies have also been instructed to take into account heritages sites and other historical monuments while preparing master plans, the minister said.
To bring in consensus on Transfer of Development Rights, he said the department has decided to hold a seminar on the issue on September 7 here. Officials of UDAs, town planners, NGOs and stakeholders and experts from Maharashtra and Gujarat
would be invited, he said.
