Mixed building land M2
|
Areas of moderate density, which are less centrally
located and less intensively used, are classified by the Land Use Plan
as mixed building land M2. Their specific character may be represented
in Local Development Plans as mixed use areas or as a small scale mixture
of other zoning categories such as housing and manufacturing.

M2: Central City District (Hackesche Höfe)
|
Mixed building land M2, as defined by the Land Use Plan,
encompasses a wide range of different types of areas intended for a mixture
of uses (industry, commerce, services, housing...), including the traditional
mixed areas in the inner city, along major roads and in central locations
outside the inner city. This is illustrated by the building complex „Hackesche
Höfe“ in the Central District of Berlin, where a mixture of old
and new buildings are used for housing, offices, shops and cultural institutions
in a high density environment:
FSR (floor space ratio) 4.0; GSR (ground space ratio) 0.7; 320 inhabitants/ha;
400 jobs/ha.. |

M2: Central part of the village of Karow (Pankow)
|
Apart from the mixed use areas of the inner city,
the category M2 comprises many of the older local centres and villages such
as Karow (Pankow district) shown here. In these areas, the existing mixture
of uses will generally be retained. The old agricultural buildings offer
themselves to small scale industries, services or housing. Conflicts between
different uses will have to be solved by appropriate technical means. Mixed
building land of this type is usually characterised by comparatively low
density figures:
FSR 1.2 - 1.6; GSR 0.6; BMZ (ratio of building volume to site area) 6.0.
