Notes on shading regulations

  • Buildings on the same site (Article 56-2, Paragraph 2 of the Building Standards Act)
    If there are two or more buildings on the same site (if it is inseparable for use), these buildings are considered to be one building, so even if the building is not eligible for the application building alone, If there is a building that is eligible for the existing building, the entire building on the site will be subject to the shading regulations, and it will be necessary to consider including the existing building.
  • Special provisions for buildings in areas and areas where shading regulations are not applied (Article 56-2, Paragraph 4 of the Building Standards Act)
    Even if the building is not subject to the shading regulation or outside the area, the regulation will be applied if the shade is applied to the regulated area or area. For example, in the case of the figure below, the planned site is outside the target area (commercial area), but the shading extends to each area of the target area, such as the first-class middle-high-rise housing, the first-class housing, and the neighboring commerce. It is necessary to consider the regulation value.

    When planning a building with a height of more than 10m in a commercial area

  • When the target building or its shading spans an area or area with different restrictions (Article 56-2, Paragraph 5 of the Building Standards Act)
    • If the target building covers an area or area with different restrictions, the regulations will be applied assuming that there is a target building in each area or area.
    • If the shading of the target building extends over an area or area with different restrictions, the regulations will be applied assuming that there is a target building in each area that causes the shading.
      For example, in the case of Figure 1 below, the shade extends to the areas of Type 2 middle-high-rise housing, Type 2 housing, and neighboring commerce, but the height is less than 10m, and the target buildings in those areas Because it does not become, it is necessary to consider only the first-class low-rise residential area.
      In addition, in the case of Figure 2 below, it will be a target building in all areas that extend shade, so it is necessary to consider the regulatory values of each area.
