FUTURE LAND REQUIREMENTS, 2020
Population of the city is expected to grow to 2.2 million people and employment is
projected to increase to 1.4 million by the year 2020. As such, land to cater for housing
needs, employment places and for social amenities including community and recreational
facilities need to be allocated and balanced accordingly. This has been one of the factors
taken into consideration in land use distribution by the Draft KL City Plan 2020.

RIVER ACTIVITIY ZONES FOR SUNGAI KLANG AND SUNGAI GOMBAK WITHIN CITY CENTRE
• Zone A Active area along Sungai Batu and Sungai Gombak between PWTC LRT Station and Jalan Tun Razak
The existing shophouses along this stretch will be encouraged to develop river front al fresco activities and the
roads running alongside Sungai Gombak will be pedestrianised. Similarly, opportunities for opening up the
riverside footpaths and creating more river related activities at the PWTC Exhibition Centre will be explored.
• Zone B Passive Area between the Puteri and Putra condominiums and the Tamil School on Jalan Raja Laut
This will be maintained as an area with a relaxed residential character with the new riverside park acting as a bridge
between the existing condominiums next to the Mall Shopping Centre and the new residential developments at
Tiong Nam.
• Zone C Active Area between the Quality Hotel and KLCH
Buildings along this stretch will be encouraged to develop riverside activities which could be accessible to
the public and to modify the appearance of the lower floors so they address the river. Building owners will be
eencouraged to investigate the possibility of making alternative provision for the service roads running alongside
the rivers so that wider footpaths and cycle ways can be provided. In addition the existing footpath will be widened
by cantilevering out over the river bank.
• Zone D Passive area along Sungai Gombak and Sungai Klang between Jalan Parlimen and Leboh Pasar Besar
Due to the proximity of Masjid Jamek, riverfront activities, although encouraged, will be controlled so as to ensure
that incompatible or noisy activities do not compromise the serene and dignified ambience around the mosque.
Buildings between Medan Pasar and Sungai Klang will be encouraged to develop double frontages facing onto
the river and the more modern, less attractive, buildings to retrofit their facades to create more attractive riverfront
elevations which reflect the character of the adjacent historic buildings. The footpath along this stretch will be
widened by cantilevering over the river bank and some limited al fresco activities encouraged. The existing pumping
station will be placed underground so as to enable the provision of a continuous footpath leading towards the
Masjid Jamek LRT.
• Zone E Active Zone along Sungai Klang between Masjid Jamek LRT and Jalan Sultan Ismail
New developments such as the new riverfront plaza at Masjid India and the al fresco eating and entertainment
plaza at Jalan Sultan Ismail together with other proposed new developments along the river front will create a
lively stretch of river connecting the City’s Historic Centre to the main hotel belt along Jalan Sultan Ismail. Existing
and new developments along this stretch will be encouraged to provide active commercial frontages accessible
from the public riverside footpaths. This will become the prime eating and entertainment riverside zone and be
the focus for river related activities.
• Zone F Active/ Passive Zone between the Muslim Cemetery and Phileo Avenue
When the SMART tunnel is operational, the flood walls that run under the elevated highway and cut off the river
from areas either side of it will be removed. Once access to the river is restored, this zone will be developed as a
green passive area on one side of the river with the muslim cemetery and new local park and an active area on the
Kampong Bharu side with low key river related activities. The road running along side the river will be made into a
pedestrian priority road with traffic calming measures introduced.
• Zone G Passive Zone between Leboh Pasar Besar and Jalan Tan Cheng Lock
There are no buildings with frontages onto the river along this stretch and emphasis will be placed on creating
a dignified riverside walkway on both sides of the river leading up towards the Masjid Jamek mosque. The new
cultural bridge cum plaza that connects Dayabumi to Central Market will be the focus of this stretch of river
providing a connection between the proposed cultural activities within Dayabumi to the Heritage Zone around
Central Market.
• Zone H Active Zone between Jalan Tan Cheng Lock and the site of the existing Klang Bus Station
This will be the focus for tourism related activities around the new commercial and tourism complex associated
with the heritage shophouse area. Al fresco activities along the river bank plaza under the LRT viaduct and along
the proposed new park will include a nightly pasar malam. The three electrical substations along this stretch will
be relocated and incorporated into new developments.
• Zone I Passive Zone between Pasar Seni and Jalan Damansara
This will be a passive green link with a semi rural flavour connecting the City Centre to Brickfields. Limited
commercial and recreational activities fronting the river will be permitted.

INTRODUCTION
The KLDCP 2008 shall also contribute to the growth and character of Kuala
Lumpur where provisions are made for all aspects of development in Kuala
Lumpur that shall contribute towards the improvement of the natural
and built environment, transportation, community and social amenities
as well as the infrastructure and utilities to achieve the desired vision and
objectives of the Draft KL City Plan 2020.
The plan applies to all areas within Kuala Lumpur, which is 24,221.05
hectares and falls under the jurisdiction of Kuala Lumpur City Hall
as the local planning authority. The plan will include the planning
and development of six strategic zones, special areas which includes
new villages, Malay Reservation land and traditional villages as well as
government-owned and private owned properties in Kuala Lumpur.
KLDCP 2008 shall be read in conjunction with the Draft Kuala Lumpur
City Plan 2020, where the key initiatives and implementation strategies
have been identified as the guiding principles of the KLDCP 2008.
The Draft KL City Plan 2020 is focus towards achieving the Vision and
policies of the Kuala Lumpur Structure Plan 2020 (gazetted in 2004),
where seamless maps accompany the Draft KL City Plan 2020 showing
existing features as well as proposed changes to all aspects of land
and development in Kuala Lumpur.
District Commercial Centre
The KLDCP 2008 consist of several key planning measures that are used
to regulate, control and manage physical development of land through
development control process and procedures. Any persons wanting to
develop any piece of land must refer and conform to the provisions and
requirements specified in this document. Compliance with the provisions
of the KLDCP 2008 shall facilitate the consent to an application and leads
to planning permission being granted.
The KLDCP 2008 contains two key components that will be measured
towards development control in the City of Kuala Lumpur. These two key
components are:-
- Key Planning and Development Control; and
- Special Planning Control
Three key maps will control use and intensity of land development Maps
on a city-wide scale. The maps are: Development Control Plan

LAND USE ZONING
The Draft KL City Plan 2020 has called for sustainable use of land to overcome
the rising issues of urbanisation by managing land use in a manner that
the needs of the present communities are met without compromising
the needs of the future communities in Kuala Lumpur. Key initiatives and
strategies have been identified in the Draft KL City Plan 2020 to achieve
these objectives and the KLDCP 2008 has established a Land Use Zoning
Map that will reflect the tenets of sustainable use of land which includes:-
- Strengthening the development of existing commercial and
employment centres
- Meeting the needs of new economies that will enhance Kuala Lumpur
as a global city
- Integrating land use development with transportation network
- Protection of environmentally sensitive areas
- Encouraging development on Infill sites and redevelopment/
revitalisation of existing sites that is no longer economic to
Kuala Lumpur
- Protection of heritage areas and sites in Kuala Lumpur
- Improvement of quality of living for new villages, Malay Reserve Land,
traditional villages as well as public housing areas in the city
- Protection and provision of parks and open spaces in the city
- Enhancement of its natural assets including rivers and hills
- Protection of stable areas in the city
- Encouraging the development of varied types of housing in the city to
meet the needs of all its local communities
The KLDCP 2008 has designate land use zone that reflects the predominant
use of land within each plot of land in Kuala Lumpur. The DCP 1 - Land Use
Zoning Map shall regulate land use, prevent land-use conflict, and allow
growth to occur in a sustainable manner. Thus all applications for planning
permission that involves any change in the use of land or building must
refer to DCP 1 – Land Use Zoning Map (Section 20 (2 (i)) of the Federal
Territory Planning Act 1982 (Act 267) states that a planning permission will
be required for any change in use of land and building unless and otherwise
prescribed by the Commissioner as not requiring planning permission.
This also means that no planning permission shall be granted, if any such
propose activity is not allowed for in the designated land use zone of the
DCP 1 – Land Use Zoning Map.
The DCP 1 – Land Use Zoning Map shows the distribution of land use
zoning in a spatial form for the entire Kuala Lumpur city. It is a seamless
map that has designate 20 land use zones to reflect its predominant use
allowed for that particular plot of land. This essentially means that the plot
of land can only be allowed to be developed as per the designated land
use zone (if currently differs). However, such rights are only excise upon
application and approvals for planning permission.
For the purpose of KLDCP 2008, the above 20 land use zones is seen as one
comprehensive list of classification and its detail description is described in
Table 2.2 : Land Use Zoning Classification.
Mixed Use Commercial MXC Refers to land zoned for mixed-use commercial
development in the Zoning Plan. It is intended
to promote residential component in
commercial zone and at transit p l a n n i n g
zones. The zone is predominantly commercial
with minimum 30% residential.
Mixed Use Commercial MXCI Refers to land zoned for mixed-use industry
and & Industry commercial development as
identified in the Zoning Plan. It is intended
to promote clustering of similar activities
incorporating compatible and non-polluting
industrial activities with support services
such as storage, distributive trade, and service
industries. This zone is predominantly industrial
with maximum 30% commercial use.
Public Institutional PI1 Major institutional and civic uses such as art
galleries, museum, government offices, palace
reserve,military reserve, health & emergency
such as police head quarters, hospitals,
universities, and other civic use.
Public Open Space OS1 Parks and open spaces are public spaces that
provides for a variety of active and passive
needs of ages of the community and local
residents.
Private Open Space OS2 Private open space refers to parks and green
areas that is owned by individuals or businesses
and are used at the discretion of the owner.
Private parks are privately maintained and
usage to the public is at the discretion of the
owners. One example of such park in Kuala
Lumpur is the golf courses.
The 20 land use zones described above is illustrated on the Land Use Zoning Map (Figure 2.1). As
mentioned, the land use zoning is prescribed for every plot of land in Kuala Lumpur. For more detail
reference, the grid indexed maps is provided in Volume 2 Part 2 – Land Use and Intensity Maps by
Index.
Mixed-use refers to the combining of retail/commercial and/or service use with residential or office
use in the same building or on the the same site in one of the following ways:
• Vertical Mixed-use. A single structure with the elevated floors used for residential or office use
and a portion of the ground floor for retail/commercial or service use.
• Horizontal Mixed-use - Detached. Two or more structures on one site which provide retail/
commercial or service use in the structure (s) fronting the public or private street, and residential
or office use in seperate structure (s) behind or to the side.
• To encourage residential use in conjunction with commercial and other compatible activities
in order to create an active street life, enhance the vitality of business, and reduce vehicular
traffic.
• Residential, commercial and other non-residential uses shall be provided in such a manner as to
be co-dependent, functionally integrated and complementary of each other rather than random,
non-integrated and having non-associated elements.
• To provide, where appropriate, higher density residential use integrated into the overall mixed-
use development.
• To assure compatibility of the proposed land uses by incorperating higher standards of project
and site planning.
As the zoning prescribed are on a lot base manner, it 30% Distribution for Commercial
is also important to note that the application of mixed Use must be along the Main Street
use development for large plots of land or contiguous
plots meets the planning and urban design intent for
such zoning. This includes consideration for distribution
of commercial spaces in a Mixed Use Residential where Main Street
the commercial floor space (maximum of 30%) must be
placed at the main street and at the same level of the
street, to encourage street level activities and public
surveillance.
The land use zones is supported by a Zoning Schedule which identifies specifically the
ancillary, related or compatible activities within the permissible predominant use of each
particular land use zone. The Land Use Zoning Map and the Zoning Schedule are to be read
together in determining the type of all ancillary or related uses that may be allowed for the
support or management of the predominant use.
The Zoning Schedules form an integral part of the Development Control Plan and must be
referred to each time planning and development is to be undertaken in Kuala Lumpur. There are
two forms of Zoning Schedule i.e. :-
- Zoning Schedule (General) which applies generally to the zone identified for each of the
20 land use zoning classification
Example :
Table ZS 2 .0 : Zoning Schedule (General)
Land Use Zone : District Centre Commercial Zone
- Zoning Schedule (Specific) which applies to a specified area of the same land use zoning
classification
Example :
Table ZS 2.1 : Zoning Schedule (Specific)
Land Use Zone : District Centre Commercial Zone
Location : Bandar Bukit Jalil
• Where the area has characteristics peculiar only to the area compared to other areas zoned
as the same land use zone;
• Where only limited classes of use can be allowed within the area due to reasons such
as compatibility of activities with the surrounding area or impact of the activities onto
surrounding areas in terms of local amenity or the environment; and
• Where certain activities are to be promoted to the area specified which generally might not
be permissible to other areas within the same land use zones.
Table 2.3 shows the Listing of Zoning Schedules for KLDCP 2008 while the Zoning Schedules
detail description for the 20 Land Use Zones are listed from Table ZS 1.0 – ZS 20.0.
The Use Classes consists of activities that are group together within certain similar uses or
classification. Five (5) main use classes has been identified and these use classes reflects the
activities that shall be out rightly permitted, conditionally permitted or totally prohibited for
land and buildings located within each particular land use zone.
The permissible, conditionally permissible or prohibited use of land and building also refers
to the planning permission granted to a planning application made in a particular land use
zone in Kuala Lumpur. The following is the interpretation of the three conditions of allowable
uses.
Conditions Description
Permissible (P) Land and building use and activities that IS ALLOWED within a
particular land use zone.
Conditionally Permitted (C) Land and building use and activities that SHALL BE ALLOWED WITH
SPECIAL CONDITIONS imposed on a particular plot or plots of land
within a land use zone. The City Hall of Kuala Lumpur however has
the right to reject the planning application if the application does
not meet the special conditions imposed onto the particular plot/
plots of land within a land use zone.
Totally Prohibited (N) Land and building use and activities that SHALL NOT be allowed
within a particular land use zone.
A Permitted Use Table of Land Use Zoning and Use Classes in Table 2.5 best illustrates the
application of the Zoning Schedule and its Permitted Use Classes.

DEVELOPMENT INTENSITY
The Federal Territory (Planning) Act 1982 (Act 267) defines Density as the
intensity of use of land reckoned or expressed in terms of the number of
person, dwelling units, or habitable rooms, or any combination of those
factors, per unit area of land.
The use of maximum persons per acre of residential density has been
adopted in this plan, where DCP 2 - Density Map of the KLDCP 2008
indicates the allowable densities for residential development in Kuala
Lumpur.
3.2.2 Application
The guideline for Density Control refers to the DCP 2 – Density Map for
Kuala Lumpur, where there are four main categories of residential densities
that shall be the control measure for residential development intensity in
the city.
The R1 is intended specifically for Low Density Residential. Here the densities
vary from 4 persons per acre to 40 persons per acre and residential units shall
vary from the 1 unit/acre homes in the hillside areas of the city to conventional
housing that is compatible with single-family neighbourhoods.
R2 are Medium Density Residential where the densities vary from 48 persons per
acre to 120 persons per acre. Residential units here vary from landed conventional
link homes to low-rise multi-dwellings units or landed strata homes.
R3 are High Density Residential where the intended developments are multi-
dwelling units. Here the densities allowed vary from 160 persons per acre to
400 persons per acre. The higher densities are focussed on urban areas such as
the District Commercial Centre, Neighbourhood Commercial Centre and around
Transit Stations.
The Public Housing has a maximum allowable density of 400 persons per acre.
The high density public housing allows for better integrated social housing
where amenities will be well served and the development provides economies
of infrastructure.
With the above density guidelines for Kuala Lumpur, any area zoned for RI cannot
be increase to R2 or R3 and vice-versa. Increase in density will only be allowed
within the same land use zone; however application for Planning Permission for
Increase of Density is required and approvals is subject to decisions made on best
use for land and quality of life is not compromised.
For the purpose of any conversion required from persons per acre to the number of
residential units or vice-versa; the conversion factor of 4.0 persons per household
shall be used. Thus column 3 of Table 3.1 shows the maximum number of units
per acre allowed for each type of residential zone.
*The Household size for Kuala Lumpur in 2000 is 4.2. However the household size is anticipated
to decrease to 4.0 in 2000 and subsequently to 3.8 in 2015 and 2020. Thus the average household
size of 4.0 is to be used for the KLDCP 2008.
UNDERSTANDING DENSITIES
Example
What is the Density for my land?
24 40 24 40 Each plot of land zoned for Residential in Kuala Lumpur has been identified with
a Density.
48 48 48 Refer to DCP 2 – Density Map Kuala Lumpur for your maximum allowable
density.
Density asssigned by plot/lot
Does Density refers to Gross or Net Allowable?
Density is calculated in gross. In other words, all the surrendered land such as
open space, road reserves as well as infrastructures and utilities areas will also be
included in the density calculation for a plot of land identified for development.
Example:
,OT • Based on the acreage and density that has been assigned for Lot 123,
the maximum allowable density is 8800 persons which is equivalent to
a maximum allowable of 2200 units.
• When Lot 123 has been approved for sub division and in order to obtain
the Development Order (DO), the number of units must be based on
the gross (not exceeding 8800 persons/2,200 units) inclusive of the
open space, roads as well as infrastructures and utilities.

ACRE ACRE
Plot ratio standards express the relationship between the gross area of a
site, and the total floor area of a building. The need to designate Plot Ratio
to land in Kuala Lumpur so as to achieve:-
(a) Sustainable development intensity that would prevent adverse effects
of over development;
(b) The desired functions and character of commercial zones in Kuala
Lumpur;
(c) A critical mass that can support the urban services such as Public
Transportation, urban amenities etc; and
(d) The overall urban design objectives of Kuala Lumpur
The use of Maximum Permissible Plot Ratio has been adopted in this plan,
where DCP 3 - Plot Ratio Map of the KLDCP 2008 indicates the maximum
allowable/permissible plot ratio for development in Kuala Lumpur.
3.3.1 Definition
”Plot ratio means the ratio between the total floor area of a building and
the area of the building plot” as defined in the Federal Territory Planning
Act 1982 (Act 267) (Part I, Section 2).
3.3.2 Application
The plot ratio shall be designated to each plot of land/lot basis in the above
zones.
The guidelines for the Plot Ratio Control in Kuala Lumpur are prescribed
in the DCP 3 – Plot Ratio Map and the table below (Table 3.2) reflects the
maximum permissible plot ratio for the various land use zoning.

The distribution of plot ratio is also related to the land use strategies identified
in the Draft KL City Plan 2020. The land use strategy calls for sustainable use
of land, where optimum land development will be encouraged to support the
vision for a World Class City. Thus plot ratio assigned to land plots in Kuala
Lumpur in general refers to the following guide:-
0LOT ! 0LOT "
Plot Ratio and Floor Area Requirement
The Floor Area Requirement (FAR) shall be the total floor area allowed to be built
on the said site based on the maximum permissible plot ratio for the said land/ 0LOT $ 0LOT #
site.
Example:
• When Lot 345 has been approved for sub division, the land now has 5 new
plots with new approved Plot Ratio (as per table).
• Should the land owner develops in phases or sells one of the plots to
another party the latter could only develop the purchased plot based on
the approved layout plan allowable plot ratio as stated in the Development
Order.
3.3.4 Plot Ratio for Residential Zone within City Centre Area
The Floor Area Requirement (FAR) for Residential within the City Centre area
is also controlled by Plot Ratio. This is due to dynamic rate of development
in the city centre area and the trend of high rise living within the city centre
i.e. condominiums and apartments; and plot ratio allows for an immediate
representation of allowable space to be built on the designated plot of
residential lands.
Table 3.3 - Plot Ratio Control for Residential at the City Centre, 2020
1 : 2 114.70 9,992,664.00
1: 3 38.50 5,031,180.00
1 : 4 49.15 8,563,896.00
1 : 5 27.69 6,030,882.00
1 : 6 18.26 4,772,433.60
1 : 7 3.37 1,027,580.40
1 : 8 11.76 4,098,124.80
Note: GFA = Plot Ratio x Acreage x 43,560 (1 acre = 43,560 sq. ft.)
Floor Area Requirement : 5.5 acres X 5 (Plot Ratio) x 43560 = 1,197,900 [Link].
Household Size

Population Equivalent
For the purpose of this conversion, Low Cost = min. 700 [Link] Person per ha / Person per acre
the residential units by cost shall Low Medium Cost = min. 800 [Link].
be as follows:- Medium Cost = min. 950 [Link]
Medium High Cost = min. 1000 [Link].
High Cost = min. 1500 [Link]
The FAR for Kuala Lumpur refers to the total Gross Floor Area (GFA) of a
development. All covered floor areas of a building, except otherwise exempted
and uncovered areas for commercial uses are deemed as the Gross Floor Area
of the building. Gross floor area is measured on the overall dimensions of the
building or part of the building on each floor below and above ground and
includes internal and external walls.
It includes:
(a) Stairs and lifts shafts.
(b) Corridors and covered passages by which there is no public right of
way.
(c) Conference rooms, board rooms, director rooms, assembly rooms and
libraries.
(d) Computer rooms.
(e) Changing rooms and lavatories.
(f ) Canteens, restaurants, cafeterias, kitchens, restrooms, recreation rooms,
etc.

It excludes:
(a) Basement car and cycle parking accommodation.
(b) Car parking above ground (no car parking allowed at ground level to
allow for continuous street level activities).
(c) Space for commercial vehicles awaiting loading or unloading.
(d) Roof top garden.
(e) Pedestrian linkage to Transit Stations (direct subterranean/underground
pedestrian linkage).
Kuala Lumpur City Hall reserves the right to decide on GFA matters based on the
specific design of a development proposal on a case-by-case basis.

(Federal Hill)
Planning and development within the EPZ requires special care and
attention. The types of activities allowed in this zone are limited to passive
and low impact activities. Properties surrounding these areas should also
take extra care and be more sensitive towards the significance of the EPZ.
Opportunities to create natural green areas, parks and recreational areas
can add value to surrounding land area and thus EPZ should be viewed
as prime land and not land constraints for development. EPZ adds to the
natural built environment of the city and this would contribute towards
the quality of life of Kuala Lumpur.
4.5.1 Application
• This guideline applies to residual forested areas surrounding
Bukit Nanas and Bukit Sungai Besi which are still not developed
and still in their natural conditions.
Activities Allowable
4.7.1 Application
• This guideline applies to all land located within hillside zone
of the identified hills in Kuala Lumpur as indicated in Table 4.1
above.
4.8.1 Application
• This guideline applies to all private and public lands located
within 50m or the major river reserves specified in Table 4.1
above.
• Within the setback area, 4m from the river reserve must be kept
clear of any buildings or permanent structures. At least 2.5m
within the 4m public easement is to be allocated for pedestrian
footpath or cycling track that is interconnected to the overall
green spine of the river.

HERITAGE ZONE
5.1 Application
Heritage Zone is identified by the Draft Kuala Lumpur City Plan 2020 as an
area of special architectural or historic interest and character of which it is
desirable to preserve or conserve. The purpose of designating such a zone
is to ensure that the areas within it maintain the essential historic character
or ambience and the development within the area is undertaken with care
and sympathy to form, character and scale of existing heritage sites and
buildings.
5.2 Objectives
Due to the unique character of these areas, no specific set of guidelines are
Stadium Negara provided. All new development or proposals for alterations and additions to
existing buildings will be referred to a Design Review Panel.
5.4.2 Secondary Heritage Zone
These are less contiguous areas containing a mixture of newer and older
buildings some of which are of significant historic or architectural merit.
These areas cover most of the original historic shophouse areas of the old
city and also include the school and cathedral precinct around St. John’s
Cathedral.
Masjid Jamek
Alterations and additions to designated heritage buildings as well new
developments in Secondary Heritage Zone which are not shophouse areas
will be subject to review by the Design Review Panel.
Medan Pasar Buffer zones are those which have no inherent existing character which
requires heritage but which adjoin or connect other heritage areas. Their
function is to maintain a degree of urban continuity between or around
heritage areas and to avoid the sudden juxtaposition of development that is
out of scale. Buffer Zones may be in the form of low intensity or predominantly
green areas adjoining Primary Heritage Zones where development should
maintain the existing character.
a) General
Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman
These are buildings previously gazetted under the Antiquities Act
and now covered by the National Heritage Act 2005 and fall under
the jurisdiction of the Commissioner for Heritage (Refer to Table 1 in
Attachment 1).
b) Heritage Schedule
Category 1 Heritage Buildings may acquire their designation either
as a consequence of their architectural qualities, or their historical or
cultural significance. Certain aspects or elements of these buildings
may be of greater significance than others requiring preservation and/
or restoration while other aspects may be less critical. In view of the
wide range of considerations for buildings in this category, there are
no fixed guidelines. Instead each building or group of buildings that
St. John’s Cathedral
is identified will be accompanied by a schedule outlining which are the
Heritage guidelines for this category are the most stringent and decisions
relating to major alterations and additions will be referred to the Design
Review Panel. (Refer to Table 2 in Attachment 2).
Non compliant existing buildings are those in Heritage Zones which have
been redeveloped in such a way that they do not conform to the Heritage
Guidelines. When a planning application for these buildings is made, the
works must be such that the building will comply with the guidelines. Under
certain exceptional circumstances KLCH may waive compliance with some
of the heritage guidelines.
New buildings on vacant sites must comply with the guidelines and other
development control requirements.
5.7.1 General
These controls apply to the shophouse heritage areas and buffer zones.
Envelope control relates to the three dimensional envelope within which
development can take place as defined by the following factors:
• Height Control
• Build to Line
• Setbacks
• Parapet Line
• Nominal Sightline
• Main Roof
a. Height Control
b. Build to Line
The roof parapet line is the main height controlling line at the front (or side)
build to lines and is determined by the existing parapet line in heritage
buildings. New buildings or existing non heritage buildings will follow the
parapet line of the adjacent heritage units or the predominant parapet line
in the block. Figure 5.10 - Determination of Parapet Line
In order to retain and enhance the roofscape in heritage areas, the existing
main roofs of heritage buildings are to be maintained as per guidelines set
out below, and new developments or alterations and additions to existing For roofs with irregular parapets the lower
buildings should follow these guidelines. parapet line shall apply
A setback of 600mm from the main roof is applied before the other
envelope parameters (nominal sight lines and overall height control) are
applied. Secondary architectural features such as aesthetic articulation, sun
shading devices, condenser unit shelves or other decorative elements may
be located within the 600mm setback area.
e. Nominal Sightlines
In so far as there are a number of variables and differing situations even with
respect to adjacent shophouse properties, standards have been set which
fix the controlling “nominal sightlines” depending on the Heritage Zone
Category.
Nominal sightlines only apply to the front, i.e. main street elevations, and
not to the side or corner elevations for corner lots where the side setbacks
apply.
f. Setbacks
Setbacks apply to the rear boundary and the upper levels of corner units
above the parapet line.
ASPECT CONTROL

Corner units should address the corner in a manner that is consistent with
traditional shophouse areas. The wrap round treatment with a chamfered
frontage and some emphasis on the corner façade elements is preferred as
it gives continuity to the façade as well as the verandah way, and creates
more pavement space at road junctions. This approach is to be adopted in all
Figure 5.20 - Wrap Round Corner Treatment heritage zones except in instances where there is an existing end of terrace
heritage building or where particular circumstances such as a narrow plot
width make such treatment impractical.
Typical wrap round corner treatment in
Tertiary Conservation Zones
Upper level fenestration for infill and alterations & additions to existing
non heritage buildings should follow the rhythm of the adjoining or
nearby heritage buildings and maintain the solid void ratio as well as the
fenestration controlling lines for cill and lintol.
Other controlling lines such as the parapet line and fascia lines are also to
be maintained. Where these elements differ, either side of a development,
the more dominant or traditional are to be maintained. Where there are
discontinuous controlling or decorative lines either side of a development, Building owners to provide active frontages
these are to be reinstated. Party wall plasters should be consistent with the along side wall covered walkways
adjoining in terms of width and depth.
The main controlling lines of the parapet and fascia are to be maintained.
Refer to Figure 5.24 below.
Figure 5.24 - Main Facade Controls for
Tertiary Heritage Zones
a. General
The verandah way is the most significant element of shophouse areas and
what gives them their distinctive, traditional street life character. Key elements
in the verandah way include the colonnade, the pavement and the ceiling or
soffit.
b. Changes in Level
Existing steps along verandah way Replace with ramped changes in level
Steps in verandah ways are no longer permitted and must be replaced with
ramps of no greater gradient than 1:10. This may involve encroaching onto
the verandah ways of adjacent property or properties in which case the works
should be carried out jointly. Differences in level between the verandah way
and pavement should not exceed 25mm.
Figure 5.26 - Differences In Level Between Verandah Way And Unit To Be Taken
Up Within The Unit
Verandah way widths for all buildings in Secondary Heritage Zone are to be
retained so as to maintain their existing scale and character. Colonnades should
match the existing in terms of spacing, rhythm, size and, where appropriate,
detail. Common elements such as archways should be maintained.
Verandah way widths should be a minimum of 3m for all new buildings and
alterations and additions to existing buildings except designated heritage
buildings.
In Secondary Heritage Zone, certain areas will be themed and materials and
finishes for verandah way pavements will be determined by klch.
f. Activities
The primary function of the verandah ways is to provide protection for the
pedestrian from the sun and rain and it is important therefore that ground Verandah ways to be a minimum of 3m
level activities in shophouse units do not compromise this function. width in Tertiary Heritage Zone
For this reason car repair and motorcycle repair workshops are not permitted
in any of the heritage areas and shop owners and eating establishments will
be required to ensure that activities generated by their businesses do not
directly or indirectly obstruct the verandah ways.
In the case of buildings that have been set back from the build to line to
conform with previous set back requirements, KLCH may use its discretion
as to whether the building owner will be permitted or required to extend the
upper floors of their properties up to the build to lines. Where such properties
are extended to the build to lines, the verandah way must be maintained and
be continuous and consistent with the adjoining properties. The remainder
of the alterations and additions must conform to the guidelines.

b. Permitted activities
The primary intention is for these areas to be used for outdoor refreshment
associated with adjacent premises but they may not be used for the
preparation of food.
5.7.7 Materials
a. General
Table 5.4 sets out the requirements for materials for buildings in the various
categories of Heritage Zones according to building category.
b. Walls
Of prime concern are the main elevations facing streets or major public open
spaces.
External wall finishes in Primary and Secondary Heritage Zones should follow
the traditional materials of painted rendered brickwork or fair faced brickwork
as applicable.
The traditional material for windows, doors and shutters is timber but this can
be difficult to maintain and a dark brown or black anodized or powder coated
aluminium framing may be used in Secondary Heritage Zone.

Signage and advertising will be strictly controlled so that the historic character
of these areas is not compromised. All proposed external signage and
advertising is to be reviewed by the Design Review Panel.
Signage will be confined to the ground floor shopfront panel and the first
storey fascia panel. Such signage should not project more than 250mm from
the face of the building.
Vertical projecting signage may only be mounted on the party walls and may
not be more than 1.8m in area on either face. The signage should not project
more than 1m from the face of the building or the width of the pavement
whichever is the lesser and should be no thicker than 250mm. The signage
should not be mounted in such a way that special features such as pediments
or decorative elements such as pilasters or spandrels are covered over or so
that support brackets damage decorative elements.
Signage control in Tertiary Heritage Zones is far less stringent and requires
only that signage on the face of the building fits within the spandrel panels,
does not cover any part of any fenestration, does not project above the
parapet line and projects no more than 300mm from the face of the building.
Vertical signage should be confined to the party walls and should project no
more than 1.2m from the face of the building or the width of the pavement
whichever is the lesser.
In keeping with the KLSP 2020 objective to encourage the usage of public
transportation and reduce reliance on private transportation, parking
standards for developments within the City Centre are reduced.
There will still however be the need to provide adequate public parking
spaces for cars and motorcycles in order to meet the needs of residents and
sustain local businesses. This requirement will be met in part by KLCH and in
part by requiring certain designated developments to provide public parking
spaces.
Buildings in Primary and Secondary Heritage Zones are exempt from general
car parking and motorcycle parking requirements.
Heritage buildings will not be required to meet standard car and motorcycle
parking requirements.
Other non heritage buildings will be required to meet the car and motorcycle
car parking requirement or pay a contribution towards the cost of providing
public parking.

HEIGHT CONTROL ZONE
6.1 Application
The Height Control is applied as an overlay control over density and plot
ratio provisions stated in DCP 2 and DCP 3.
6.2 Objectives
Hill Backdrop Height Applies to areas within view corridors of hill backdrop of
Control Zone Bukit Gasing and Bukit Sungai Besi identified from the
following locations:
(a) View from New Pantai Expressway facing Bukit
Gasing; and
(b) View from KESAS Highway facing Bukit Sungai Besi.
Heritage Zone Height Applies to buildings and land located within the following
Control Zone designated heritage zones:
(a) City Centre Historical areas
(b) Sungai Besi Heritage Area.
Applies to areas located within flight path approach and
Sungai Besi Airport obstacle limitation surfaces of the airport as identified by
the Department of Civil Aviation.
There will be instances where an area will fall under two or more height control
zones. In the event where an area falls under two or more height control
zones, the more stringent limitation in terms of height shall govern and
prevail.
In general, the allowable heights for all areas in Kuala Lumpur are guided by a
General Allowable Height Plan (GAHP) (Figure 6.2). The GAHP serves as guide for
developments within Kuala Lumpur with the intentions of:
(a) Developing a city skyline and profiles that accentuate the city centre as central
area for Kuala Lumpur and the surrounding areas as edges to the city with major
landmark buildings in the city centre being the focus of vistas and views.
(b) Promoting innovative building designs in terms of massing and heights within the
allowable plot ratio and height where strategically located landmark buildings
can be created as local vistas or landmark to their locality.
• For buildings located within the designated height control zones indicated
in Height Control Plan, guidelines regarding the respective height control
zones must be observed and followed.
• For buildings or development where higher plot ratios are allowed (CDA
area, urban regenerations areas and inner city centre area) which results
in local peaking situations (higher building heights than GAHP) then such
situation shall prevail against the GAHP.
However, such development must develop and submit to KLCH the detail
Urban Design Guidelines (DUD) that should indicate how it relates to the
overall city’s skyline and physical profile.

GENERAL ALLOWABLE HEIGHT PLAN (GAHP)
Scale: 1:110,000
Toward s a Wo r l d Cl a ss Ci t y DRAFT KUALA LUMPUR CITY PLAN 2020
HEIGHT CONTROL ZONE | 6.7
The two landmarks of Kuala Lumpur are the Petronas Twin Tower in Kuala
Lumpur City Centre and the KL Tower in Bukit Nanas. These two landmark
buildings have become a symbol that is synonymous to the city of Kuala
Lumpur.
Views towards the two landmark buildings are categorized into two
categories as follows:
Landmark View at Petronas Twin Tower from Tasik Titiwangsa Panaromic View of KL Tower And Petronas Twin Tower from MMR2
• The highest point of the building shall be either the top of the
parapet or coping of a flat-roofed building, or the ridge of a sloping
roof. No occupied part of any building shall be constructed above
the permitted height and this includes unoccupied building
features projecting above the highest point of the building.
Example of Calculation:
Height Relative to Petronas Twin Tower Landmark View Corridor
i. The maximum height elevation of Petronas Twin Tower is 688.97 MSL or
210 m height elevation.
ii. If the finished ground level of the proposed building is 98.4 MSL
and islocated 4000 meter away from the tower , then the height is:
688.97 MSL – 98.4 MSL = 590.57 feet or 45 stories. (at 4.0 meter per
level).
Top of ridgeline 523 MSL
iii. The submitting person then needs to refer to the ‘General Allowable
Height Plan’ (GAHP) to verify the final allowable height for the building.
iv. If the calculated height elevationAllowable
as aboveHeight Elevation
is higher than GAHP, then
75% of top of ridgeline = 392 MSL
the lower allowable height in this case the GAHP prevails. Thus in this
case if the allowable height as GAHP is 38 stories, therefore the final
allowable height is 38 stories and not 45.

v. MSL
If in any case, the calculated height elevation is lower than GAHP, than
the lower allowable height in this case the View Corridor HCZ calculation
shall take precedent.

must not block visual corridor to the landmark buildings).
Example of calculation
i. The need to establish the height elevation of the hills located behind
the development (by Licensed Land Surveyor)
ii. The height elevation of the hill for example is 523 MSL or 159m height
elevation.
Height limits at AMSL
iii. If the finished ground level is 196 MSL or 60m height elevation, then
Height limits
the allowable at AMSL
heights are 392 MSL – 196 MSL = 196 feet or 14 stories
(assuming 4.0 meter per level).
