I am not a lawyer, but depending on how important the rooftop terrace is to you, I would seek specialized legal advice.
Da sich die Garage aber außerhalb der überbaubaubaren Grundstücksfläche befindet und somit nicht unmittelbar von der abweichenden Bauweise betroffen ist
Is IMHO nonsense. I don’t have time right now, but I’m interested. I will read the commentary when I get the chance to see if I’m wrong. I have always understood the law to mean that planning law can override building regulations. In particular, §5 (1) sentence 3 of the state building code confirms this. And the development plan is clear here.
Does no neighbor have a rooftop terrace?
Are both quotes from the city planning office?
How many plots are still free?
It probably won’t be enough for extra3, but the local press might be interested in something like this.
