Broad Guidelines for Brownfield TODs
• 300 m to 800 m from the outer boundary of the Transit Point to be designated as TOD
Influence Zone. Final boundaries of the influence zone to be marked in the new Master Plan.
This distance range will provide flexibility to the Competent Authority to delineate the
Influence Zone depending upon the ground realities.
• Each identified & notified TOD to have a separate Detailed TOD Influence Zone Plan,
prepared and approved by the Competent Authority as per the provision in HMDAAct 2008.
• The entire influence zone to be categorized under ‘Mixed Use Zone’ with high density
development with special DCRs.
• Permitted Uses: High-density commercial/ retail / hospitality and residential development
with Transit Station and all transport infrastructure like shared parking, bus stations, etc.
• Development type within the influence zone can be either redevelopment / infill or
greenfield depending on the ground realities and existing development types, in order to
yield cohesive results.

Salient Features of the DCRs for TODs
Building Density
• Building density controlled through height
of the building as there is no FAR/FSI
cap in Hyderabad
• Minimum height of the building is 40 m
• Less than 40 m height buildings
permitted only if the proposed building is
as per the following:
o Approved Detailed TOD influence zone
plan
o Comply with stipulated setback and
parking
o Not achievable due to multiplex
regulations
Parking
• Commercial and civic uses -
maximum 45% of the built-up
area
• Hotels, Commercial Offices,
Clinics, Restaurants & F&B
Outlets, Daycare Facilities,
Departmental Stores, Dry
Cleaners, Hospitals & Clinics,
Neighborhood Oriented
Retail, Serviced Apartments,
Hostels & Group Housings -
maximum of 30% of built-up
area

Salient Features of the DCRs for TODs
Special Provisions for Setbacks
• Front Setback - 7 m irrespective of height of the
building. Paved & merged with the pedestrian level
• Other sides setbacks - as per Building Rules - 2012,
issued in GO Ms. No. 68 MA
• Uniform building line, no fences/ boundary walls

Salient Features of the DCRs for TODs
Central Green Spaces Integrating
Spaces within the TOD
Seamless Pavements without Boundary Walls

Salient Features of the DCRs for TODs
Urban Design Controls and Setback Provisions
• Minimum of 2.4 m wide obstruction free
Pedestrian Zone along the Plot Boundaries
• Mandatory paved area of 2 m width in side
setback -- without compound / boundary wall
• Sky walks to connect transit stations with buildings
- not less than 2.5 m width

Salient Features of the DCRs for TODs
Concept of Skywalks interconnecting Buildings and Transit Stations

8. Selection Guidelines and Pilot Location
connectkaro.org #CK2015
Selection Parameters for
TODs
• Availability of land parcels
• Mix of work centers and
residential areas
• Integration with various
public transport modes
• Plan of authority / transit
station to develop TOD
• Connectivity to road
network
Evaluation considered all
potential TODs in
consultation with key
stakeholders. Final list
comprises of about 19
proposed TODs and 22
Future TODs

Location of the
Metro Station

10. connectkaro.org #CK2015
Concept Plan for Pilot Implementation
The central green serves a buffer
space between the residential and
the commercial zone. This space
would also encourage informal
retail activities and cultural events
The metro station would have
its designated landing points
which would be connected to
the green spine. The skywalks
would be connected at the
station level
The front setback for all
the buildings would be 7
meters, This will be a
pedestrian movement
space and a buffer green
space.
The connectors between
buildings can also have
informal retail activities.
The skywalk is a seamless connector between the
various commercial structures. The third floor of the
commercial buildings will have around 25% of its floor
area which will be for public use.

• Reduced parking
norms
• Resultant
savings in
construction cost
• Front setback of 7
m - reduced
setback to allow
larger footprint
• More height (40m
and above) -
higher utilization of
FAR
Incentives for TOD Implementation
• Incentives for
amalgamation
• Reduced
