Development Code relationship to other Plans, Policies and Regulations:
� The Development Code will generally conform to Plan 2030. In cases where there is
a conflict between the Code and Plan 2030 or Plan Districts, the Code governs.
� Outside of Plan Districts, when there are two Code regulations or guidelines on the
same subject, the more restrictive governs, except were a less restrictive provision
is clearly intended (e.g. greater height around transit stations).
� When a Plan District regulation or guideline and a Code regulation or guidelines
address the same topic, the Plan District guidelines govern.
� When there is no regulation or guideline in a Plan District to address an issue but
there is an appropriate regulation or guideline in the general Code, the Code
provisions apply.
� In case of conflict on any subject with any other plan, policy, regulation or
guideline, including affection plans imposed or issued by other agencies in the
Emirate of Abu Dhabi, the Code provisions govern.
The Code may refer to plans, policies and guidelines, created by the Urban Planning
Council, the ADM or external agencies that supplement regulations and guidelines in
this Code.
