A 670 m² lot with numerous development possibilities

Currently, the entire property is still occupied by a building constructed in 1922. Given its condition, the existing structure is not considered worth preserving from an economic or technical standpoint. Therefore, the option for new construction is described below.

The property is not located within the scope of an approved zoning plan. Buildability is therefore governed by Section 34 of the German Building Code (BauGB)—the type and scale of development must blend in with the character of the immediate surroundings. According to the land-use plan, the property is located in a general residential zone.

The neighborhood consists of single-family homes, three- or four-unit buildings, and duplexes, as well as a few smaller apartment buildings. These neighboring structures were mostly built with two full stories and an attic above, which is usually converted for living space. A simple zoning plan in the form of the so-called city base map of the State Capital of Munich specifies a building line in the front area that is set back 5 meters from the southern property line.

The owners have already obtained a building permit that takes the aforementioned conditions into account. Accordingly, a larger structure may replace the existing building. Developing the site as a semi-detached house appears particularly advantageous, which is why the building permit covers this alternative.
