In order to promote public health, safety and the general social welfare of the community,
it is necessary to apply reasonable limitations on the use of land and buildings. This is to
ensure that the most appropriate economical and healthy development of the city takes
place in accordance with the land use plan. For this purpose, the City is divided into a
number of use zones, such as ;residential, commercial, industrial, public and semi-public,
etc. Each zone has its own regulations as the same set of regulations cannot be applied to
the entire town/city.
Zoning protects residential areas from the harmful invasions of commercial and industrial
uses and at the same time promotes the orderly development of industrial and commercial
areas. By regulating the spacing of buildings, adequate light, air, protection from fire,
etc., can be provided.

1
It prevents over crowding in buildings and land and thus ensures adequate facilities and
services.
Zoning is not retrospective. It does not prohibit the uses of land and buildings that are
lawfully established prior to the coming into effect of the zoning regulations. If these
uses are contrary to the newly proposed uses, they are termed as non- confirming uses
and are gradually eliminated over years without inflicting unreasonable hardship upon
the property owner. The zoning regulations and their enforcement are a major tool in
keeping the land use pattern of the master plan.
The Zoning Regulations for Mysore-Nanjangud Local Planning Area are prepared under
clause (iii) of sub-section (2) of Section 12 and 21 of the Karnataka Town and Country
Planning Act, 1961.
