 DRAFT KUALA LUMPUR LOCAL PLAN 2040

The Draft Kuala Lumpur Local Plan 2040 (KLLP2040) was prepared by
Kuala Lumpur City Hall (KLCH) by taking into accounts the needs and
input from various groups including professionals, government
agencies, industries, shareholders and the local communities.
The Draft of the KLLP2040 translates the long-term vision City for All
by strengthening the planning of Kuala Lumpur in line with the
sustainability agenda. This draft document consists of two (2) volumes,
namely Volume 1 and Volume 2. The foundational content and
justification for the proposed land use zone and intensity is contained
in Volume 1, Draft KLLP2040. This plan establishes the planning
strategies and identifies proposals for development implementation in
Kuala Lumpur leading up to the year 2040. KLCH will use the Draft
KLLP2040 to assess any development phases in Kuala Lumpur.
This document provides administrative framework and guide to the
KLCH in performing its duties as local authorities taking account the
achievement of KLCP 2020.
In view of this, KLCH would like to extend its upmost appreciation to all
parties involved, whether at the Federal, State, Local or Communities
level for their contribution and cooperation in the preparation of
KLLP2040 Draft.

c. Heritage Significance Building

Buildings of heritage significance have some
elements or characteristics of architectural or
historical importance that have been recommended
for preservation to form the heritage character of the
city of Kuala Lumpur. The importance of conserving
such buildings is under the jurisdiction of the KLCH
Design Review Panel. Most of the buildings in this
category are old shophouses with distinct heritage
design and character and are recommended for
preservation. Location: Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman

value that is important to the culture of the
community. It refers to any site that remains in a
specific location and cannot be moved to another
location such as a historical park, nature reserve and
old burial ground.
A heritage site refers to the site itself with or without
buildings to be preserved for its significance.

CHAPTER 4
Cultural heritage sites should be seen as entities that
are:
1. Permanent and non-renewable;
2. Valuable; and
3. Very sensitive.
Whenever a heritage site and its surroundings are
threatened by the effects of development, priority
should be given to the preservation of the physical
form of the site. Five (5) heritage sites are listed and
identified in Kuala Lumpur, as shown in Table 4.3.6.

allocation of additional plot ratio is subject to
compliance with the criteria that focus on township
development with value-added towards the quality of
life and urban environment as well as to ensure
connectivity within 400 metres and 600 metres.
The allocation of additional plot ratio is according to
the percentage as shown in Table 5.1.4. The actual
additional plot ratio is subject to the percentage of
the plot located inside the TPZ and TIZ. This incentive

CHAPTER 5

b. >30,000 square feet = Plot Ratio 1:4

Calculation:
A. Total area of Lot A = 0.5 Acre (21,780 square feet)
B. Total area of Lot B = 0.2 Acre (8,712 square feet)
C. Total lot amalgamation area Lot = A + B
= 21,780 square feet + 8,712 square feet
= 30,492 square feet (Lot C)
Therefore, the Site C site is entitled for lot amalgamation incentive with a Plot Ratio of 1:4.

Calculation Step 2:
Calculation for Plot Ratio Incentive of Lot Amalgamation Area Within TPZ or TIZ Area

If the site is located within a 400 metre radius of the TPZ or 600 metres radius of the TIZ priority area, it is eligible for the
TPZ plot ratio incentive. An example of the eligibility calculation of the lot amalgamation incentive for a site within a 400
meter radius of the TPZ area is as follows:
A. Plot Ratio for Site C = 1:4 (30,492 square feet )
B. Eligible percentage criteria of TPZ for Site C = 20%
C. Eligible plot ratio incentive = 20% X Base Plot Ratio (1:2)
= 20% X 2 = 0.4
D. Eligible additional plot ratio
= Plot Ratio 1:4 + Plot Ratio Incentive 0.4
= Plot Ratio 1:4.4
Therefore, the additional plot ratio for Site C is 1:4.4.

If only part of the site is located within a 400 metres radius of the TPZ or 600 metres radius of the TIZ area, only the area
involved is eligible to receive TPZ incentives.

2. Incentive entitlement is based on compliance with the set percentage.
