The garage does not require a distance area as long as it is not higher than 3m and not longer than 9m. But in my opinion, the development plan excludes both positions. Due to the special property situation, I consider the first variant, unlike the second, not entirely impossible, because this property is particularly disadvantaged compared to the other building plots by paragraph 4.1 of the textual stipulations. However, I see you dependent on the goodwill of the approval authority, because your wish is, in my opinion, not legally enforceable.

You will have to ask the city planner who drafted the development plan. I also do not understand why a 9m distance must be maintained. But the experts have studied this and certainly have a justification. However, none of this helps you, because the development plan is now legally binding and presumably no one will initiate a change.
So go to the planning office on Monday before confirming the purchase and have them give you written confirmation that the garage is approvable outside the building window. Or if necessary, you can do without the garage, because parking spaces are allowed everywhere (observe area restrictions).

Thanks again, you have helped me a lot with this matter. On Monday, I will go directly to the building authority! I hope to see a civil engineer afterward, if I can get hold of one.

I am curious. I haven't read the development plan, to be honest, I also don't really understand where the property boundaries are (but I do know the building envelope :D) but:

One doesn't build a garage directly on the south garden in front of one's terrace, right?

Your problem is the desire for a duplex. But you are not obliged to have one. A single-family house with its ancillary facilities might fit much better on the property ;)

I'm curious about that. I haven't read the development plan, honestly, I don't really have a clear picture of where the property boundaries are (only the building envelope :D) but:

Your problem is the desire for a semi-detached house. But you're not obliged to do that. A single-family house with its ancillary buildings might fit much better on the property ;)

You are right. If I were to build a single-family house, which would be smaller, it might be possible to put the garages on the north side, directly on the neighbor's boundary. The fact that the neighbor has his only garden there and that this boundary is just a few meters from his house and terrace should also interest the planner who created this development plan.

So, according to the development plan, this is where the garages are supposed to go:

Is this now the house in the East? Or in the South?

Regardless; the only boundary where one could place a garage would be the one to the 2nd new upper plot.

The building envelope is 16m long (running from West to East; a garage is typically 6-9m.

I see no problem with existing development.

Is that the house in the east now? Or in the south?

Regardless; the only boundary where one could put a garage would be the one to the 2nd new upper plot.

The building window is 16m long (going from west to east; a garage is on average 6-9m.

I see no problem with the existing buildings

That is northeast of my plot, so where the neighbor has his west garden, his only one with the garden terrace.
It is true the building window is 16m long, but the semi-detached house is supposed to use 16m of it (8+8).

This spot would also be the only one that, according to the development plan, would even be considered for 2 garages. (Marked in green)

This location would also be the only one that would even be considered for 2 garages according to the development plan.

No. You could place the garage on the southern boundary, exactly in extension of the front building line. Two parking spaces where you had planned the garage according to variant 1. Of course, this must be checked again precisely with the floor area ratio and the front yard area, but at first glance, it should work. However, there would be no usable garden anymore. And the floor plan with restricted south-facing windows must also fit accordingly.
