Approach to the Preparation of Master Plan for Mysore Local Planning Area
Introduction
Preparation of Master plan for a city is a long drawn exercise. It is easier to prepare a plan for a
new town and the master plan for an existing town or a city is to be preceded by a diagnostic
studies and analysis. The growth trends of the past, development and direction of growth of the
recent past, the current factors influencing the growth and as a planner, the likely developments
in the next 10 to 15 years, as a short term and next 20 to 25 years, as a perspective plan for the
city have to be considered in approaching the master plan for Mysore city and LPA.
Planning has economic, social and physical dimensions. The city grows both in physical and
Demographic terms but it has to be developed in physical terms through allocation and
organization of land (land use plans), strengthen the economic base for sustainable development
and make people happier through social approach. The physical environment should be healthy
and convenient and physical plans should facilitate social interaction and finally the plans to
have visual attraction.
Compact development in the interest of optimum utilization of infrastructure is another approach
for city planning. The approach to master plan for Mysore for the year 2021 has to take into
consideration the above factors. Mysore is now considered as a heritage city in addition to
cultural, royal and garden city tags. The Local Planning Area is rich with natural valleys, water
bodies, rich greeneries and famous Chamundi Hill, which forms the backdrop for the city.
Mysore city is also a central place of a higher order, in greater Mysore Region, covering
Chamarajanagar, Mandya and Mysore districts in Southern Karnataka. The role that the city has
to play in providing higher order services and facilities are also kept in view while preparing the
plan for this planning area.
A brief look at the past planning attempts to Mysore city shows that urban renewal was
attempted in 19th and early 20th centuries with the provisions of urban infrastructure and
widening of roads in Mandi Mohalla, reorganization of space and planned residential
developments by erstwhile Dewans through the City Improvement Trust Board. Mysore city, (in
1903) had palace and Fort with 1.5 kilometer length of street. In over 200 years, the citys
Corporation area is 128 sq. km., urbanized area of 168 sq. km. and Local Planning Area of 509
sq. km. The authorities in the past laid emphasis on compact growth with basic urban
infrastructure. Today the planners are faced with the horizontal expansion and urban sprawl.
The future demand for land for public and semipublic use is difficult to meet in the context of
present residential layouts coming up in private sector.
1.2
The following factors are kept in view in the preparation of Master plan for MysoreNanjangud LPA for 2031
1.
Vision of Mysore city for 2025 to preserve the cultural, heritage and royal city
characteristics.
2.
To strengthen the economic base of the Mysore city region through allocation of land for
economic activities like Household industries, Information Technology, Bio-Technology,
food industries, Tourism related activities and traffic and transportation.

4.
To augment the urban infrastructure and provision of urban services and utilities as per the
accepted norms and standards as far as possible.
To promote compact development with optimum residential density and balanced land use.
To make Mysore city as a SLUM FREE CITY keeping in line with the Central
Government proposal to make at least 10 cities in India as Slum free cities by 2015.
To preserve and conserve heritage and heritage structures of national and state importance,
natural areas and water bodies, Vision Control to enhance the natural landscape.
To work out a proper circulation pattern in the light of the current and future residential
developments in outer areas, bridging the missing links in the road hierarchy, widening of
certain roads and suggest geometric design and redesign of intersection, junctions and
circles.
To promote CBD of Mysore city as a vibrant and dynamic hub with additional facilities
and decongestion measures, declare few corridors as Mutation Corridors and to permit
commercial activities on roads of 18 meters and above with suitable building lines.
To workout Development Control Regulations to enforce the various provisions of the
Master Plan with special Development Control Regulations for Eco-planning District and
Agricultural Zones.
The last but not the least and more important is that the master plan is for the people of
Mysore planning Area. The Master Plan is comprehensive, comprehensible, flexible,
implementable and enforceable.
In order that the Master plan is citizen-centric, a series of discussions have been held
formally and informally with a majority of stakeholders like members of the Development
Authority, Elected Representatives of the Mysore City Corporation with a formal
presentation before the Honorable. Mayor and Corporators, learned and informed citizens
of Mysore through the Institution of Engineers, Mysore local center and Town planners.
The approach to master plan preparation is facilitated by the people and professionals. As
this master plan is a Draft Document, all the citizens in the Local Planning Area will have
an opportunity to actively participate and interact with the Development Authority to
express their views and offer valuable suggestions when the Master Plan is placed before
them for Public Comments. This will go a long way in giving final touches to the master
plan and making the plan a truly people centric.
Objectives
Keeping in view the above approaches, the following objectives are envisaged in the
master plan preparation.
To promote Mysore city as the destination for investment in nonpolluting economic
activities like Information Technology, Bio-Technology, service sectors and tourism
related activities.
To promote and conserve the cultural heritage, preserve the natural characteristics of the
city and its environs through special Development Regulations.
To plan for an emerging Metropolis with options for Mono/Metro Rail system, Peripheral
roads and suitable linkages with the surrounding settlements, access to urban infrastructure
in peri-urban areas and deconcentration of economic activities through District
Commercial centers.
Suitable Planning measures to prevent the misuse of natural landscapes like water bodies,
natural valleys and Hills through declaring a Special Eco-planning District

Proposals
The planning Proposals for 2031 for Mysore LPA are made on the basis of following
observations and inferences made through diagnostic survey and analysis.
Mysore citys location is favorable for location of many economic activities. The LPA
enjoys salubrious climate, geologically stable, drained by two river systems and the
hinterland is blessed with natural resources.
The total population of LPA in 2001 was 1.023million. The growth rate though steady, till
1991 slowed down in the last decade. Considering the present developments and the
pressure on Bangalore Metropolis, Mysore Citys population growth will be higher in the
coming decades.
Higher work participation rate is observed in the recent years. Therefore, economic
activities particularly in the tertiary sectors need to be provided. Mysore City and its
surroundings will have tertiary sectors related activities as the main economic base
followed by manufacturing and software sectors.
Area under residential use has been observed to be below 40%. The vacant land under
residential use which is nearly 17% will take care of the current housing shortage. In
addition to this vacant land, many private layouts are also providing developed residential
sites. Though the pressure on Urban Development Authority is less to provide developed
housing sites to MIG, HIG groups, the pressure on MUDA for providing developed
housing sites to LIG & EWS continues to remain. Area under open spaces is below 10%.
Considering the green areas in the LPA there is enough lungs space available for the
residents. There is only one CBD in LPA and the current trend is for decentralized
commercial district. This trend needs to be addressed in the Master Plan.
The existing road network of Mysore city is radial pattern. This radial pattern needs to be
linked with appropriate roads at regular intervals to reduce the traffic congestion on the
city roads. This issue is partially addressed by the system of Ring roads. The major
requirement in CBD is off street parking facility. From the point of view of pedestrian
safety and smooth vehicle flow, building lines are to be enforced on major roads where
commercial developments are coming up. The mass transportation in Mysore is mainly
through Bus supplemented by private transport of four wheelers and three wheelers.
Traffic problems needs to be addressed with the growth of vehicular traffic.
The housing shortage is not a serious problem. Developed residential sites are being
provided by MUDA and private developers. The real estate business has picked up in
Mysore which is an indication of the development. The supply demand analysis shows that
the housing shortage in 2010 will be around 22000 and for the entire planning period
41000.
The Mysore city currently enjoys good urban infrastructures in terms of Roads, Water,
Sewerage, Education and Health. However, peri-urban area and rural settlements in LPA
do not enjoy similar infrastructure. Considering the various schemes under JnNURM the
water requirements of Mysore city and few villages are taken care of for the entire
planning period. The only area of concern under infrastructure is energy requirement
which is not favorable. This could be a weak point in attracting economic activities in
LPA.

Mysore city and the planning area have higher order educational and health facilities.
However primary schools and basic health centers may have to be given priority in some
rural settlements and new residential neighborhoods.
Mysore city and its environs are blessed with touristic resources. The Palaces and Heritage
buildings combined with natural features and religious places continue to attract tourists
not only from the rest of the country but also from other countries. Mysore city has been
listed as the fourth most preferred destination out of the 31 cities in the world on the basis
of survey conducted by New York Times. The key issue in the Master Plan is to preserve
the heritage character and plan for enhancing the cultural and heritage values.
The Citys Urban environment is clear and Air and Water pollution is below the
permissible limits except in CBD of Mysore city. The major air polluter is from the traffic
than from the Industries. With the supply of higher grade fuel and new combustion, the
pollution level may be kept down at acceptable levels. In this context the role of lung space
is important.
1.5 Population
The projected population for Mysore city will be 11.2lakhs for 2011, 16.5lakhs for 2021&21.00
lakhs for the planning period 2031. Similarly for Nanjangud; the projected population is 67,500
for 2011, 95,000 for 2021 & 1.10 lakhs for the planning period. Thus the total population for
LPA will be 13.25 lakhs by 2011, 19.09 lakhs for 2021& 23.77lakhs by the year 2031.
The existing town level density of Mysore City, in 2009(Estimated), was 85.60PPHa where as
the gross residential density was about 185.50PPHa, taking into consideration the existing
residential vacant plots within the developed area. The corresponding figure for Nanjangud
town, during 2009, was 81.30PPHa and 135.69 pph. The residential densities, at various levels of
Mysore and Nanjangud town are given below.

The land requirement for the proposed development in the plan period can be assessed by
adopting an optimum town level density. This may be about 100 pph to 150 pph adopting a
density of 100 pph; a total area of 21,000 ha of land is required.
In the normal planning process, the above land required for development within the plan period
will be included in the conurbation limits that can be worked out around the core city, based on
physical constraints and permissions granted by the planning authority for developments. In the
existing situation (in Mysore-Nanjangud local planning area), permission for changes of land use
from agriculture to non agriculture have been permitted irrespective of their location in relation
to the developed area. It is observed that the lands converted or recommended to be converted
for non agricultural uses are in excess of the land required for the development up to the plan
period of 2031.The land required for the development as stated above to meet the population of

Nanjangud town and the environs are considered as a separate planning district. The proposed
conurbation drawn for Nanjangud town is worked out, which includes the Temple town area, the
new extension in the south west and western part and the industrial estate developed by the
K.I.A.D.B, in the North West, on the bank of Kabini River. The village pockets, in between the
town and the industrial area are also included in the proposed conurbation area.
The total area covered in this planning district (Planning district No.42) is 1779.46 Ha (17.8 sq
km) the land proposed for various urban uses (developable land), within the proposed
conurbation works out to 1092.84 Ha (61.4% of the total area of the planning district). The rest
of the area is wet agricultural land under the Kabini and Nugu reservoir and other river channels.
In the urban area, residential use account for 421.03 Ha (38.53% of the developable land). The
major other urban use is the industrial use (in K.I.A.D.B and other minor industries) which
account for 221.16 Ha (20.24%). The other major uses are the open spaces (15.3%) and the
traffic & transportation (13.77%), public & semi public uses 7.35%. (The detailed proposal of
this planning district is given separately at the planning district level report.)
The proposed landuse analysis for Nanjangud town and the rest of the area of the planning
district No.42 is given below.

3.1.1
Existing Scenario:
Planning District 1 forms the core area of the city. It covers a total area of 300.15ha. The three
major land uses are P&SP, Traffic and transportation and residential followed by commercial
uses. A higher percentage in this core area is under P&SP and this is mainly contributed by the
palace complex and the K R hospital Complex. As this is the core area; where higher percentage
under traffic and transportation is mainly contributed not only by roads but also the three Bus
Terminals; one intra city bus stand, Mofusil bus stand (suburban bus stand) and also the private
bus stand. The green space represented by parks is mainly surrounding the palace and two
grounds one freedom fighters park and another JK grounds area. However, the main land use in
terms of economic activity continues to be commercial and it is spatially concentrated on either
side of the arterial road (Sayyaji Rao road and Ashoka Road).
Planning Proposals:
As this is the central area (CBD) it is seen that some spaces under commercial and P&SP
category are not put to optimum use. It is desirable to identify these spaces and propose either
redevelopment or making use the space to meet the demand of the central area. Therefore the
following proposals are made.
1. Remodeling of Devaraja Market: There have been proposals and suggestions from the
authorities to take up the remodeling of the Devaraja market. However those who have
concern for heritage and conservation are resisting the remodeling of this market. As it is
observed that, part of the Devaraja Market is developing structural weakness and it may not
withstand the commercial pressure. The central area also needs parking space and the present
parking pattern is mainly on street parking on the arterial roads and sub arterial roads. As
Mysore city traffic is growing fast, on street parking may not meet the future demand of
parking. Therefore it is suggested that the Devaraja market be taken up for remodeling by
providing vehicular parking space in the basement and commercial activity on the ground
and two floors. This would however not take away the heritage characteristics as the
proposed building could be replica of the existing building type. The Indian Heritage City
Network Foundation(IHCNF), has worked out a proposal for Redevelopment of
Devaraja Market ,considering the heritage aspects and has submitted the same to the
city corporation for action. This may be examined by the Special Heritage Committee
constituted constituted under Special Development Control Regulatios of this
Masterplan. This proposal is to be taken on priority not only to meet the parking
requirements but also to utilize the precious land in the central area. This proposal could also
decongest and ensure a cleaner environment than what is seen today, particularly on the
western side of the market.
2. K R Hospital Complex: As there is very little off street parking space in the central area it is
proposed that the open spaces around the hospital complex particularly on the northern and
western side could be used for off street parking without any structural changes.
3. The former exhibition complex now under the control of the medical college is not put to
optimum use. Therefore the department of medical education may take up new construction

Planning District 2
Existing Scenario:
This Planning District covers an area of 207.65 ha land. The predominant uses are Residential,
Traffic & Transportation and Industrial. Therefore this is a mixed land use district. No buffer
zone is observed between the industrial & residential area except on the eastern side where a
large chunk of land is under parks & open space category (burial ground). The commercial
activities are mainly confined to the Sayyaji Rao road, Pulikeshi road, Sawday road, Anegundi
road and New Bannimantap road. Mixed land use is observed in Tilak Nagar and Mandi Mohalla
where residential cum commercial and Industrial cum residential are observed as a number of
household industries are located here. However these industries have not been marked in the
map. The major industries like Mysore Lac & Paints and a number of Rice & Oil mills are
located in the central part of the district. Part of this planning district had undergone the urban
renewal during 1920s & 30s and this is seen through a well organized grid iron pattern. Under
Public & Semi Public use, the major buildings are Central jail, Govt. Teachers Training Center
and Mission Hospital. The western boundary of this district is marked by railway line and the
residential between the railway line and the Sayyaji Rao road is observed with high density and
also the location of slums.
Planning Proposals:
1. In the mixed land use zone in the Tilak Nagar & Mandi Mohalla (between Sawday road &
Pulikeshi road), no new permission should be accorded to industries as number of existing
industries have appeared to be Non-conforming in nature
2. As the central jail is located on the main road, the unused space in front of the jail should be
landscaped and vacant spaces are organized and fenced. This would prevent the
encroachment and also misuse of the open space. It is proposed to relocate the Central Jail to
an area in between Mysore and Nanjangud on B.N road. The present Jail area can be suitably
used for Public & Semi Public uses and also housing of the police department personal.
3. Commercial use may be permitted on Chikkaveeranna Rice mill road (as proposed in 2011
RCDP). However no commercial activity shall be permitted on the eastern side of the Sayyaji
Road. This stretch of road is proposed to be preserved as an important road during Dasara
festivities.
Page 13
Planning District 3
Existing Scenario:
The Planning District 3 covers an area of 581.44ha of land. At present, out of this total area
nearly 24 percent of the lands though included in the developed area are under agriculture and
water bodies. The residential area in the northern part of this district is juxtaposed by agricultural
fields on either side except a small stretch of land under public and semipublic use. This district
is predominantly residential with 36 percent of the area under residential use. It is observed that
area under Public & Semi Public is just 5.50 percent and area under open spaces is less than 5
percent. Only a small stretch of land is under organized park. Though these parks are spatially
distributed in the planning district the area appears to be less. However this district has little
agricultural area and also one major water body namely Devanur Lake. The educational facilities
like primary & high schools are also spatially well distributed. The road pattern is grid iron type
and major part of the district is developed by MUDA. Commercial activities are also well
distributed and along the two main roads namely Shivaji road and Kesare road and along
Mahadevapura road.
Planning Proposals:
1. The vacant land on the intermediate ring road between PWD quarters and Rajendra circle
where HT line is located was earmarked for parks and open spaces. This is proposed to be
retained and is proposed to be fenced and protected from encroachments. Similarly the entire
belt running along the HT line is earmarked as open space for protection and safety.
2. The green space adjoining the southern side of Devanur Lake is proposed to be developed as
organized park and integrated development of lakes and open spaces is proposed. This
proposal is made keeping in view that there is no large open space in the entire planning
district and this open space is surrounded by residential area.

Page 14
Planning District 4
Existing Scenario:
This Planning district is located in the northeastern part of the city, at the junction of the outer
ring road and Mahadevapura road. The total area of the planning district is 249.25ha. At present
vacant land to the extent of 68.02ha exists in the district. The predominant uses in this planning
district are residential, traffic and transportation. The Sathagalli Bus depot and Terminal taken up
under JnNURM is located at the junction of Ring road and Mahadevapura road.
Planning Proposals:
The proposed land use for the district has been worked out by taking in to consideration the
existing land use pattern and the unimplemented proposals of the approved Master plan. Further
the need of the planning district and the present scope for making new proposals are examined
and the following important proposals are made.
1. A District Commercial center is proposed adjacent to the KSRTC Bus terminal on
Mahadevapura road.
Mysore Urban Development Authority
Page 15
Planning District 5
Existing Scenario:
The Planning District is located in the northeastern part of the city, north of the Outer Ring Road.
The total developed area of the Planning District is 252.48 Hectare. This area has been newly
developed by the Urban Development Authority and is one of the major residential layouts.
Except for a residential colony (Bharathi Nagar) along Mahadevapura Road and sewage
treatment plant in the northwest, the remaining area is not built up.
Planning Proposals:
1. The proposed land use pattern as already been approved in the scheme of the Urban
Development Authority is followed.
2. The land for commercial development is suggested along the Outer Ring Road and
Mahadevapura Road which forms a commercial node along with the commercial
developments suggested in planning district number 4 adjacent to the Bus Terminal.
3. The CA areas and open space areas are as per the Urban Development authority scheme.
4. The existing agricultural lands on either side of the Sewage treatment plant is reserved for the
expansion of the sewage treatment works.
5. The land between the Varuna Nala (Irrigation Channel) and the residential road in this layout
in the north is proposed for green buffer which will act as open space and also from the
safety point of view.
6. Provision for locating a Rail station along the identified Monorail corridor is made at the
junction of the Mahadevapura road and outer ring road.

Planning District 6
Existing Scenario:
Planning district 6 covers an area of 357.65hectares. The major land uses are residential, public
and semi public and traffic and transportation. Nearly 11% of the developed land is vacant. This
district is one of the oldest parts of the city (Nazarabad) and also the new layouts formed by
MUDA. The major portion of P&SP uses are government guest house, mini Vidhana Souda,
police parade ground and also DFRL. DFRL and Police Academy have their residential quarters
close to the office space, thus establishing the work-home relationship. The commercial use is
mainly on the south western side as it is close to the CBD that is also the planning district 1. The
citys main stadium Chamundi Vihar Stadium is located in this district and has got access form
three sides. Vacant land is found near the Chamundi Vihar stadium and also in Gayatripuram
area. Other than this major recreational space only small stretch of green space are found along
the HT lines. The new commercial developments are observed on Khytamanhalli road (24m
wide), Mahadevapura road and Bannur road. The Mysore milk dairy is also located in this
district and is classified under industrial use.
Planning Proposals:
1. The vacant land in survey number 117, 118 and part of 121 are reserved under open spaces in
the RCDP - 2011. This should be developed as parks and playgrounds.
2. It is observed that some deviation is made in laying the road linking Mahadevapura road and
the Khytamanhalli road and the land between HT line and the residential area are reserved
for open spaces (parks and playgrounds).
3. The vacant land near the Gayatripuram circle is reserved for hospital.
4. Similarly vacant land located under the HT lines should also be retained under parks and
open spaces.
5. It is observed that the 24 meter wide road proposed in the RCDP 2011 is not executed as per
the plan and this has resulted in bad junction. This might pose a hindrance for the smooth
flow of vehicular traffic; therefore suitable traffic intersection plan is proposed to be
designed.

Planning District 7
Existing Scenario:
Planning district seven is a residential district covers an area of 562.14 hectares of land. The
residential area occupies a major share followed by traffic and transportation. As this is purely a
residential district higher percentage of traffic and transportation use is observed. The area under
open spaces is grossly in adequate with less than 3 percent of the total area under open spaces
which also includes three burial grounds. Similarly area under commercial use is also less than 1
percent and commercial developments are observed on the northern side and the extreme
southern side along the Bannur road. Scattered commercial developments are also observed. The
land use analysis shows that nearly fifth of the land is under vacant category. The major portion
of this vacant land is already planned for residential layouts.
Planning Proposals:
1. This planning district has got less area under organized open spaces therefore the vacant land
in part of survey number 148 and 151 is proposed for parks and playgrounds. Similarly the
vacant space opposite to the Central Excise quarters near JSS Nagar is also to be developed
as an open space (park and playground).
2. The vacant land near Triveni Circle on the Rajkumar road is proposed for city bus stand and
also commercial development.
3. The vacant land on the south eastern side and near Bannur road has not been earmarked for
any specific use in the RCDP 2011. These vacant lands, it is felt should be used for P&SP
facilities like high school, hospital, etc.

Planning District 8
Existing Scenario:
The total area of the planning district is 732.34 hectares out of which an area of 699.72 ha is
developed. The residential areas is 490.09 ha (70.04% of the developed area is the dominant use
in this planning district. The planning district boundaries are, in the north, the Mahadevapura
road and the local planning area boundary up to Hanchya Rammanahalli road, on the east the
Hanchya Bannur road and the Varuna Nala, on the south, the Bannur road and on the west the
outer ring road.
The developed area in this planning district is part of the residential scheme developed by the
Urban Development Authority. The various provisions of the implemented scheme are retained
and suitable land uses assigned to them. At present there is only one residential school along
Mahadevapura road and the administrative block of the Visveshwaraya Technical University
along the Outer Ring road, which have already come up and the remaining plots are vacant.
Planning Proposals:
1. The plots along the Outer Ring Road and Mahadevapura road are suggested for commercial
development with a service road all along the Outer Ring road.
2. The various pockets of Open spaces assigned for parks are retained in the residential scheme.
3. The valleys identified in the district are reserved for developing into open space belts as
indicated in the land use plan and as spelled out in the development control regulations.
4. A Stadium is proposed along Outer Ring road.
5. Land for location of general hospital and higher education is provided in this district.
6. Along Bannur road, land for location of Fire station is suggested.

Planning District 9
Existing Scenario:
The Chamundi hill forms the backdrop. This hill is considered to be older than Himalayas. This
hill has an ecological role by being habitat for wild life, birds and rare flora. This hill forms
catchment area for two lakes - Karanji Kere on the north and Uttanahally Kere on the south.
Besides this natural feature, Chamundi hill is the abode for the presiding deity of the Mysore
Maharajas. The Chamundeshwari temple, built during the Vijayanagara rule was continued to be
developed by providing steps along the pedestrian path and motorable roads. The hill top is
approachable by two alternative motorable roads, one form the northeast and another from
southwest. All these roads and the pedestrian foot steps are electrified. This presents a beautiful

in Lalitha Mahal road. To meet this requirements it is now proposed to link the proposed
Outer Ring road to B.N road on the northern side of the Chamundi hill by widening the
existing road on the southern side of the Race course to 24m width upto the Chamundi hill
road and then extend it up to the Lalithadri road through the existing agricultural land and
widening the Lalithadri road to 24mts width and link it to the proposed Outer ring road as
shown in the land use plan.
The important roads identified in the planning districts are listed and the proposed widths are
suggested to improve the traffic conditions. Building lines are suggested where ever
necessary.
A major valley passes through Doddakere Maidan. The belt all along this valley and its
tributaries are suggested to be developed as open space areas.
The wholesale vegetable market located on the M.G road is proposed to be developed as a
regular vegetable market to maintain the clean environment and also provide parking
facilities within this yard (Eastern side). It is observed that vehicles are irregularly parked
posing traffic problem in the morning hours.
Proposals for multi level car parking(MLCP) at two places are suggested in Doddakere
maidan, as shown in land use map. The design shall be got approved by the special
heritage committee under development control regulations as these proposals are
within the heritage control area.

Similarly the Gokulam road commencing from Vinoba road (Hunsur road) up to the KRS
which has got a width of 23 m is also proposed for commercial use.
A short stretch of Kalidasa road from Valmiki road in Paduvarahalli upto the Temple road is
proposed for widening to maintain the uniform width of 15m. The road from Dasappa circle
up to Vani Vilasa Water Works junction is recommended for widening up to 30 m.
It is proposed to use the present surface parking area attached to the city railway station for
developing a multi level car parking, with basement plus two floors. This parking facility
shall be suitably designed to match the architecture of the city railway station faade and also
the railway divisional offices.
The vacant land found between Dasappa Circle and Jagajeevanram circle, west of JLB road
up to the railway line was not assigned to any use in the RCDP and is lying vacant. This
vacant land is now proposed for multi level car parking, as there is a demand for additional
parking facility near the railway station. The design of the parking facility may also
incorporate provision for Auto and Taxi stand.
The existing vacant land along the water body commencing from the road towards PWD
Kalyana Mantapa along the KRS road is proposed for developing a park.

Proposals for Traffic and Transportation
Introduction:
A perusal of the existing road network, as already presented in the data collection and analysis
report may be referred. Based on the findings of the analysis, Proposals of Circulation plan for
the entire Local Planning Area has been worked out and the same is discussed in the following
paragraphs:
4.2
Existing Scenario:
The Mysore-Nanjangud Local Planning area is traversed by the Bangalore-Nilgiri road from
north to south, connecting Mysore City and Nanjangud Town. Mysore city is also connected by
other State Highways namely, Hunsur road, Bannur road, T. Narasipura road and H.D Kote road.
All these roads are of State Highway standards. Mysore is also connected by other important
Radial Roads like Mahadevapura Road, Gaddige road and Suttur road. An existing road
(Madras-Cannanore road), connects B.N road to Mysore- Hunsur road bypassing the Mysore
City Urban Area. This is partially passing through the local planning area in the periphery and is
acting as a peripheral road, in the North and North-west. The B-N road, which passes adjacent to
the existing Airport, is proposed to be diverted to meet the requirements of the expansion of the
present Airport.
Nanjangud Town, which is located in the alignment of B-N road, is also connected to Chamaraj
Nagar via a State highway linking Tamil Nadu. The other important roads are Hullahalli road
and Suttur road.
The local planning area is also being served by the broad gauge links, with Mysore city as a
railway junction. The railway tracks meeting at Mysore are the Bangalore-Mysore link,
Arasikere Mysore link and Chamaraj Nagar-Mysore link. There are facilities of rail sidings for
RBI complex, the FCI godowns and Indian oil storage. The existing airport facility has been
renovated and is being expanded.
4.3
The analysis of the existing urban transportation in Mysore reveal that the Mysore city and the
rural parts of the LPA are well served by the State owned city transportation network. The city
Bus transportation network is also extended to the tourist places, such as Srirangapattana, KRS,
Nanjangud and other periurban areas and rural parts of LPA. The existing city and moffusil
service is being upgraded under JNNURM.
Mysore city is assuming importance in the region, in view of the all-round development
experienced in the recent past. The upgrading of the rail and road transportation network and the
proposed express highway will ensure further growth of the city and region. It is observed that
there is urgent need to provide for diversion of the regional traffic, which is not meant for the
city. The existing Outer Ring road is already functioning to perform this role on the western side
of the city and to a certain extent on the eastern part also. However, in view of the growth of the
city beyond the Outer Ring road, there is need to think about the peripheral road links, which
will perform this function.
Page 65
Mysore City
It is proposed to have a peripheral road all round Mysore city, so that the traffic on the State
highways, which do not intend entering the city, may make use of this road for fast movement
and economy. This road is proposed to be of 45m width and is suitably aligned in the outskirts of
the Local Planning Area, along some of the existing rural road network. (Straightened where
ever necessary), suitably widening to 45mts width. In the north-eastern part and southern part,
suitable existing major district roads (MDR) are available. These links are proposed to be
considered as peripheral links even, though they are just outside the LPA.
On the north-eastern side, the proposed peripheral road links the B-N road (N) to Mysore-Bannur
road via Naguvinahalli, Melapura, Mahadevapura and Chanahalli, starting from B-N road (N)
near Bommuru in Srirangapatna Taluk and joining Bannur road near Harohalli. This link, at
present is an existing major district road. The peripheral road on the eastern side links the Bannur
road near Vajamangala village to B.N road in the south near Kadakola village. Similarly on the
western side the proposed peripheral road links Hunsur road near Elwala to B.N road at
Kadakola. This proposed peripheral link also links the State highways like Manandavadi road
(H.D Kote road), T. Narasipura road and other important roads like Gaddige road and Suttur
road. This proposed peripheral link along with the existing Madras Cannanore road, which is
also proposed to be widened to 45mts width, forms the peripheral Ring road system connecting
all the important radial roads.
The proposals of the circulation pattern of the approved Master Plan are retained in this revised
master Plan also. The important are detailed below.
The B-N road is proposed to be of 45m width, in the LPA limits except for the stretch within the
thickly built city area, where the proposed width is 30mts. The other State highways (main
arteries) such as Bannur road, T. Narasipura road, H.D Kote road and Hunsur road are proposed
to be of 30mts width, except in the stretches of thickly built area, where proposals of road
widening and building lines are suggested. The stretches between the inner ring road and
intermediate ring road are proposed to be of minimum 24 m, wherever feasible and whereas,
between the intermediate ring road and outer ring road they are proposed to be of 30 m width.
Beyond the outer ring road up to the local planning area boundary the road widths is proposed as
45 m. The other important radial roads that are of 30m width in the outskirts are Mahadevapura
road, K.R.S road and Gaddige road. These roads are also proposed to be of 45mt widths beyond
the outer ring road. It is also proposed to provide service roads along these radial roads in the
process of development.
The proposed Major Road Network outside the existing built up areas of both Mysore and
Nanjangud have been worked out, taking into consideration the various schemes developed by
the Urban Development Authority and also the various developments that have come up in the
private sector. Missing links in the major circulation have been identified between the developed
layouts and approved layouts. Further new links have been suggested to connect the missing
part, which, if connected, would ease traffic in the already congested stretches of the city roads.
The following are the major proposals.
1)
A 24 m wide road, in continuation of the new Kantharaja Urs road to link the treasury
employees HBCS layout, which has already been developed. Beyond this approved layout
this road is proposed to be continued upto the LPA boundary.
Page 66
A 24 m wide road link from Ramchandra Nagar layout area to the new Kantharaja Urs
road and also to link a missing portion of about 280 m up to Gaddige road.
3)
To upgrade the existing road link from north eastern end of Shivaji road to the newly
developed MUDA layouts in Devanur area beyond the existing burial ground, with an 18
m road.
4)
Proposals to link the Kesare extension and Rajeev Nagar layout by an 18mt wide road.
5)
Proposals to widen the existing road from the intermediate ring road in the race course area
to Chamundi hill road and link it on to the proposed outer ring road via, the Lalithadripura
road, by a 24 m wide road. This link requires a new stretch of 24 m wide road, for a length
of about 1km, from Chamundi hill road up to Lalithadripura road (Proposed on the south of
Thavarekatte) and a stretch of 0.50km from Lalithadripura road up to the proposed outer
ring road.
6)
There are a number of missing links of 24mt wide roads between the developed layouts
and the main arteries in the eastern part of the city between the Bannur road and T.
Narasipura road. These may be taken up on priority.
Access Control:
It is observed that the circulation pattern, which is conceived as a system of ring roads of the city
coupled with the existing arterial (Radial) and other important roads, have to function as through
roads, for uninterrupted fast moving traffic. This system to function efficiently has to have a
systematic access control. It is proposed to achieve this objective, by devising adequate traffic
safe guards in the development control regulations. The following are suggested in the thickly
built area, along the inner and intermediate ring roads, where provisions of service lanes are not
feasible in certain stretches.
i. To provide for medians along the inner and intermediate ring roads, where provision of
service lanes are not feasible to segregate the traffic movements. All inlets and outlets from
the system shall have only left turning traffic and make provisions for U turning
movements across the medians at intervals of not less than 200 m apart or only at
important intersections, whichever is feasible.
ii. Along the intermediate ring road and other important roads of 24 m and above width,
inbuilt provisions for providing service lanes shall be made with suitable access control in
the development control regulations.
Major Road network in outer areas:
The existing road network linking the urban areas with the various rural habitats is also
considered while working out the Major Circulation. The important regional district roads and
the village roads are proposed to be widened, to either 24mts or 18mts, depending on the
requirement of the circulation. It is suggested that suitable deviations of these existing roads shall
be worked out in the limits of gramatanas and bypass links can be developed, treating these rural
habitats as urban villages, in the plan period.
Road widening proposals and building lines stipulated:
Further realizing the need for the widening of some of the important roads, proposals of road
widening have been made and building line have also been proposed for all important roads. A
comprehensive list of proposals of road widening and building lines is given in table 4-1.
Page 67
Nanjangud Town
In Nanjangud Town, the B-N road is proposed to be of 30mts width from Hullahalli channel up
to the conurbation boundary in the south. The rest of the stretches of B-N road is proposed to be
of 45mts width. It is proposed to link the B.N Road with Chamarajanagar road across the railway
line, at two places, one near the KSRTC Depot and in the south-eastern part of the town. The
other important roads in the Town, namely Chamaraj Nagar road and Hullahalli road are
proposed to be of 30mts and 24mts respectively.
Road network at local levels:
The detailed proposals of road network, outside the existing developed area is limited to 18 m.
And the lower level circulation is not worked out. However it is proposed to adopt a flexible
policy to consider the detailed road network in the urban system analogous to a river system.
Every activity area in the urban system contributes traffic flow into access roads of prescribed
width, as per the DCR, which in turn flow into collector roads. Such collector roads empty into
the major roads of the neighborhood. This concept is considered to be healthy and is proposed to
be adopted to achieve a healthy pattern of circulation. The sub division regulations, prescribed in
the DCR of Master Plan gives guidelines, with regard to various standards of road widths and
space standards for various uses ,which is proposed to be adopted for development, while
working out neighborhood planning exercise, at local levels.

Note 2 : ** Building Lines suggested are beyond the proposed road width. If the existing road width itself is more than the proposed width the
building line shall be from the edge of the existing road.
Note 3 : Building lines suggested are the minimum setback in the plots. The actual setback in any plot is based on the extent of area of the plot
and land use. The higher of the two (i.e., setback or building line) shall be followed.
Note 4 : where proposals of widening of existing roads are not made, the building line suggested are from the edge of the existing road
Note 5: Building lines: Building lines are the imaginary lines on either side of the existing roads, parallel to the center line of the road, up to
which any new proposals of building can be built on plots adjacent to the roads. In the case of roads proposed for widening, till they are
widened, any proposals of development in the plot by the owners shall reserve portion of their plot required for road widening and the same
shall be handed over to the authority free of cost. The FAR allowed is for the original plot, whereas the plot coverage is for the reconstituted
plot and also in addition, provide the minimum set back required beyond the proposed road edge.(For the purposes of assessing the minimum

A future mono rail system may connect the Mysore city railway station near CFTRI to the
Outer Ring road near Metagally and also link Hunsur road, Bogadi-Gaddige road, H.D Kote
road, B-N road (south), Bannur road, Mahadevapura road, proposed Mysore -Bangalore
express high way and B-N road (north), along the outer ring road. The rail may also link the
Airport area in the south and the industrial areas in Hunsur road and KRS road up to the
proposed peripheral road (MC road). A link from Ring road towards the University of Mysore
may run up to Mysore-Chamaraja Nagar railway line or/and

Parking Areas
Vehicle parking in different locations of the city, depending on the need is one of the major
urban issues that have to be catered. In the core area of Mysore city the availability of suitable
land for parking is limited. The existing parking facilities available in the city have been
discussed in the report of the data study analysis (Chapter 5.5 volume I). These are in addition
to the on street parking areas identified by the City Traffic Police. To meet the future
requirement, the City Corporation has taken up the renovation of the Rangacharlu Memorial
Hall (Town Hall) which provides for basement parking facility under JNNURM scheme.
10. The KR circle area, which is the heart of the CBD, has acute parking problems. In this
area all possible potential proposals of parking needs to be examined. The recently
renovated bus stand under the JNNURM program has utilized the entire area for city
transport services only. There is still scope for exploiting this area for providing public
parking by suitably designing the entire bus stand area into parking lots over an upper tier
by suitably providing approach ramps from the New Sayyaji Rao road and the Albert
victor road. Suitable designs have to be worked out to meet the heritage requirements
in view of the location of this area in special heritage control zone. The design shall
be got approved by the special heritage committee under development control
regulations as these proposals are within the heritage control area.
11. Therefore, for further augmentation of the parking need, the following proposals of
parking areas are proposed in the CBD area (PD No.1 & 11) in the Master Plan. Suitable
designs needs to be worked out and action plans prepared. The design shall be got
approved by the special heritage committee under development control regulations
as these proposals are within the heritage control area.
1. An upper tier of parking lots over the existing city bus stand by suitably designing the
parking area keeping in view the heritage requirements and obtaining clearance from the

Some of the proposals of the approved comprehensive development plan like the subways in
Sayyaji Rao road near Devaraja market are already completed. The proposed road under
bridge across Mysore-Chamarajanagar railway line along Radha Krishna avenue is about to
take off.
Detailed study for the provision of the subways in KR circle and Chamaraj circle have to be
taken up in view of the necessity, keeping in view, the Heritage and beauty aspects the
designs have to be worked out. In consultations with the Special Heritage Committee.
The intermediate ring road, which crosses Mysore-Bangalore and Mysore- Arasikere railway
lines in Yadavagiri, needs a fly over bridge for smooth flow of traffic. Detailed proposals
have to be worked out.
Geometric designs of the Important Junctions and channelization of traffic: Considering
the heritage characteristics of the city, provision is made in the DCR for taking measures to
maintain and enhance the beauty of the city at Important locations, such as circles/intersection
and junctions, which have been have been identified in chapter 11 of DCR. It is proposed to
take up action plans on priority, to work out geometric designs of these circles, channelization
of roads at intersection to achieve smooth traffic flow, keeping in view the heritage and
beautification aspects at the respective locations.

Phasing of Development
The revised Master plan for the Mysore-Nanjangud local planning area is worked out for the
plan period up to 2031.The urban Development authority is the main developing agency in
the local planning area and is also the planning authority to regulate the developments in the
local planning area, as required under the K.T.C.P Act. The authority also permits the private
developing agencies to participate in development under the KUDA Act.
The phasing of development by the urban development Authority in the LPA is proposed to
suit the programmes of the urban development authority along with the private developments
within the conurbation area. It may tentatively be phased in Mysore conurbation area, by
tackling the ongoing schemes of the authority for their completion and the schemes of the
authority proposed to be taken up immediately for Land acquisition and development, to
cover a population of 13.80 lakhs in the first phase up to 2016. These schemes along with the
private developments contiguous to existing developments will constitute the first phase.
In the first phase ,it is also proposed to take up the identified missing links in the circulation
net work within the developed area and also the links, which are proposed in the plan to ease
the through traffic and reduce the traffic congestion within the city, are to be taken up. The
following important links are proposed to be taken up in the first phase.
1) The outer ring road linking Bannur road to Bangalore-Nilgiri road, in the south east and
south of Chamundi hill. (This link will complete the outer ring road of Mysore; thereby
help the traffic to bypass the central city area from north and east)
2) The proposed link of about one kilometer length (24mtr road), linking Chamundi hill
road to the proposed outer ring road via Lalithadripura road may be taken up on priority.
This, once completed will establish link from eastern side i.e., Bannur and T. Narasipura
side to the city without entering the Lalith Mahal road or Nazarabad road, which are
entrances to the heart of the city. Simultaneously, the existing village road from T.
Narasipura road to Lalithadripura road which is proposed as a 24mts wide road may be
taken up for improvement immediately, as it would cater to divert the traffic from T.
Narasipura road to this new road link and on to Bangalore Nilgiri road.
3) The missing link between north eastern end of Shivaji road and Devanur extension and
missing link between Kesare extension and Devanur layout by upgrading the existing
links.
4) Missing links identified between developed schemes of MUDA and developed private
layouts.
In the second phase, the land acquisition and development by the urban development
authority and the private layouts may be taken- up, upto the conurbation boundary.
In the case of Nanjangud town, the urban development authority has already completed a
scheme and has no fresh schemes on hand. Here the available developed land is likely to
cater to the immediate needs. The authority may take up any new scheme depending on
the demand in the second phase.

Financial Implications
The financial aspects of the implementation of the master plan include working out the total
cost of the development of urban and rural areas in the local planning area. Various
government agencies, which have jurisdiction in the local planning area, the various private
organizations and individuals, are involved in the process. Therefore, only an outline of the
cost of development in the conurbation limits only of Mysore and Nanjangud are worked out
here under the following heads.
1) Land acquisition and development of the land proposed for development within the
conurbations of Mysore city and Nanjangud town.
2) Land acquisition cost of proposed areas under
a) Public and semipublic use and public utility areas.
b) Parks play grounds and other open spaces.
c) Land proposed for transportation uses.
3) Approximate cost of land acquisition and development of the proposed major circulation
in the local planning area.
4) Cost of water supply augmentation works under taken under JnNURM scheme.
5) Cost of UGD up gradation in Mysore and Nanjangud.
For working out the cost of development, a conurbation area of 279.82 sq.km and 17.79
sq.km for Mysore city and Nanjangud respectively is considered. It is assumed that the cost of
the land is 25lakhs per acre and an equal amount for land development, the total cost of the
land acquisition and development would be Rs 1.25 crores per Ha.
