AN INTRODUCTION TO THE DRAFT KL CITY PLAN 2020<\/strong>
\nA Summary of the Draft KL City Plan 2020 as prepared by Pusat Khidmat Lembah Pantai<\/p>\n

What is the Draft Kuala Lumpur City Plan 2020 (DKLCP 2020)?<\/strong>
\n* Prepared under Section 13 of the Federal Territory (Planning) Act 1982, the Plan is a primary planning and development strategy framework and development control document for the City of Kuala Lumpur.
\n* The Plan provides guidance on use of land, its intensity of use as well as other physical and infrastructure development.
\n* The Plan has been prepared with the vision of KL as a sustainable city of a world class standing, where KL strikes a balance between physical, economic, social and environmental development.
\n* Preparation of the Plan underwent rigorous public participation process ranging from focus group discussion, stakeholders interview and engagement as well and public workshops and seminars.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

1. LAND USE ZONING CONTROL<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is land use zoning?<\/strong>
\nThe designation of parcels of lands for different uses.<\/p>\n

Why do we need land use zoning?<\/strong>
\nTo regulate land use, prevent land use conflict and allow growth to occur in a sustainable manner.<\/p>\n

How does land use zoning play a role in the KL City Plan?<\/strong>
\nIn the Plan, KL is divided into 269 zones, all of which have been designated with specific Land Use Zones. There are 7 Major Land Uses, with 22 types of Land Use Zones in KL. Any future development must conform to the zone assigned; any applications for planning permission must comply with the designated uses and activities.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

2. DEVELOPMENT INTENSITY PLANNING CONTROL<\/strong>
\nThe need to control the development intensity of urban activities within KL is essential in attaining a sustainable built environment for the City. As such, the Plan stipulates that development intensity in KL will be controlled in two forms:
\na. Density control for residential development; and,
\nb. Plot ratio control for commercial, mixed-use, institution and industrial developments.<\/p>\n

2a. DENSITY<\/strong>
\nWhat is density?<\/strong>
\nNumber of persons to a land area.<\/p>\n

Why does density need to be controlled?<\/strong>
\nTo assist in population distribution, the planning for social amenities as well as infrastructure and utilities.<\/p>\n

How does density play a role in the KL City Plan?<\/strong>
\nThe Plan determines the maximum permissible density for lands zoned as residential.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

2b. PLOT RATIO<\/strong>
\nWhat is plot ratio?
\nRatio between the total floor area of a building and the area of a building plot.<\/p>\n

Why do plot ratios need to be controlled?<\/strong>
\nTo manage sustainable development intensity that would prevent adverse effects of over-development; and, to ensure critical mass that can support the urban services such as public transportation, urban amenities.<\/p>\n

How does plot ratio play a role in the KL City Plan?<\/strong>
\nThe Plan fixes the total permissible built up area of a building within a limited plot of land for land zoned as commercial, mixed use, industrial and institutional.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

3. OVERLAY PLANNING CONTROL<\/strong>
\nWhat are overlay planning controls?<\/strong>
\nAdditional requirements and control imposed, on top of the underlying land use zoning and intensity control provisions.<\/p>\n

Why are overlay planning controls necessary?<\/strong>
\nTo ensure adequate protection for the environment and new development that are sensitive to their surrounding heritage buildings.<\/p>\n

How do overlay planning controls play a role in the KL City Plan?<\/strong>
\nThe plan lists 4 aspects which require special attention for any development.<\/p>\n
