I have not yet understood how the plot ratio (Grundflächenzahl) and floor space index (Geschossflächenzahl) work and how much I can build on my property.
Status:
I own a plot of land in a purely residential area (WR) in a district in Munich with garden city character.
I have not yet ordered the official site plan, as I am just in the early planning days.
Question 1: In the official site plan, I should find the plot ratio and floor space index, right?
Question 2: Are the floor space index and plot ratio uniform throughout Germany for purely residential areas at 1.2 and 0.4 respectively?
Question 3: In newspaper articles, I have read that building projects with plot ratio/floor space index values of 0.x have already been approved in my area. Does this mean these values are only guideline values and what is approved/litigated can be built?
Question 4: If a distant neighbor was allowed to build with very high plot ratio/floor space index, can I refer to this and demand the same rights?
Question 5: If the floor space index/plot ratio is rather variable, how do I find out these values? Call the local building commission? Compare online properties with floor space index/plot ratio data on immoxyz.de? Or would my not yet hired architect know this from experience?
