FAR is set by a road-width × plot-size × zone matrix (BDA/BBMP).
Setbacks scale with plot size and building height: small plots up to ~150 sq.m carry fixed margins (~0.6–0.9 m), while larger plots use percentage-based setbacks (a typical independent home is ≈1.5 m front, 1.0 m each side, 1.0 m rear).
Height is road-coupled — on roads narrower than 9.0 m, maximum height is capped at 15.0 m including stilt, irrespective of permissible FAR.
