Outline of the System

In Yokohama City, among the first-class and second-class low-rise residential areas, the minimum floor area ratio is set for areas where the floor area ratio is 100% or less. According to the provisions of Article 53-2, Paragraph 1, Item 3 of the Standards Act, construction may be possible for those that meet the following permission criteria by obtaining permission with the consent of the Building Examination Committee.

In addition, when it corresponds to the Building Examination Committee Comprehensive Consent Standards, we can omit the referral to the Building Examination Committee and will be a post-report to the Building Examination Committee.
We revised a part of permission standard and building examination committee comprehensive agreement standard about permission of 2 Clause 1 third of Building Standard Act Article 53-2. In addition, a new explanation of the permission criteria and the Building Examination Committee Comprehensive Consent Base have been newly added. ＜R4.4.1＞
