Reconstruction/Expansion. Problem with building area and thoughts on replanning

Hello everyone

I am renovating my parents' house in BW and we have planned it as a 6-unit apartment building, since the space is no longer needed in old age. It will also be extended upwards and an addition will be built.

Due to the many required parking spaces (1.5 per residential unit) we are now 4 m2 below the maximum usable area. The problem is that because of this I have to demolish our swimming pool (existing structure). I find this thought terrible (swimming pool replaced by parking space) and the architect is currently so perplexed, or rather overbooked, that she is, well, no longer putting in the effort she did at the beginning. I hope some great ideas come up here.
A tip in advance: neighbors are unfortunately not very open to changes. Special exceptions are therefore unfavorable… at least no exceedance of any values.
I had thought that parking spaces 6 and 7 could get a carport; is that possible with the distance regulations / with the existing garage area?
As I understand it, then the 2 parking spaces would be counted as “countable covered above-ground parking spaces” (picture), which would free up the necessary insignificant square meters for the swimming pool by reducing the path to the bicycle stand to 1 m width.
Is all that possible? I am very open to further/new ideas and perspectives.
P.S. If interested in more details, views/plans just let me know.

According to today’s building regulations, I would never be allowed to rebuild the swimming pool there, so I actually don’t want to have to give it up.

Many thanks in advance and best regards
Sam

I wonder how 2, 3, and 7 can leave their parking spaces if the cars parked in front of them do not move. I find the order and zoning lacking there. I don’t feel like analyzing the uploaded documents right now, but who is the target group? Do all the apartments look like that? If you say 6 units, is it a 6-story building? Apartment 2 is already quite spacious..

Make duplex parkers out of the garage if it’s already being extensively rebuilt. Then you immediately have four (usable) parking spaces. Otherwise, the rest is just drawn in without rhyme or reason, practically unusable, just for the sake of parking spaces.

The rest will be converted into micro-apartments to generate the highest possible returns.

therefore I actually don’t want to give it up...

Honestly? In old age, the space is no longer needed or can’t be used anymore. It will be the same with the swimming pool. The main thing is to have it – even if you no longer need and/or use it. Apart from that, as a user (probably the residents of apartment 2), I would absolutely not want renters constantly gawking. Such a swimming pool is something for a single-family house, but not for an apartment building.

To sum it up: You don't need it, the neighbors don't want it, and the city doesn't allow it. You can't make money with something like that at the moment either. So what exactly is the intention? To become as unpopular as possible and overload the property in the process? Aren't there better investments?

Somehow strange

Why would you want to have a pool at a multi-family house you rent out, an investment, again at some point for whatever reasons?

Thoughts terrible (pool gives way to parking lot)

I would rather see the problem that many strangers will live in my parents' house. Selling a single-family house may be emotionally difficult, but you often let go with good feelings and/or close the chapter for yourself.
Converting a single-family house into a six-family house and renting it out means, as you can clearly see here, a violation of the property and a source of conflict with the neighbors.

Neighbors are unfortunately not very open to changes.

That doesn't surprise me.
But preserving a pool is quite secondary in this case, and the pool itself is dispensable. Or is the house located in Mallorca?

I can fully understand the neighbors when something like what is on the plan comes about.
