1.0: Land Conversion (Tukar Syarat Tanah):

According to Seksyen 124, National Land Code 1965 allocated that only registered proprietor shall ion eligible to apply to State Authority to alter, impose and convert any status of the land. For example as stated in title document:

EXISTING USE CONVERT TO:

Kategori Kegunaan Tanah : Bangunan Bangunan

Syarat Nyata         : Bangunan Kediaman Bangunan Komersil

Or

EXISTING USE CONVERT TO:

Kategori Kegunaan Tanah : Pertanian Pertanian

Syarat Nyata         : Hendaklah di tanam dengan padi Tanaman koko

Or

EXISTING USE CONVERT TO:

Kategori Kegunaan Tanah : Pertanian Bangunan

Syarat Nyata         : Tanaman Getah Industri

Conversion of land use refers to the variation of the titled category of land use from the existing category to another category of the variation of express condition. An additional premium is imposed on the conversion of land use. The basis for the computation of additional premium is provided in the various State Land Rules and it is differs between rules. The roles of valuers are to determine the value of land according to the basis adopted by the various states as stipulated in their respective Land Rules.

 

1.0.1: Procedure for Land Conversion:

2.0: RENEWAL OF LEASE:

Approval of renewal of lease was under discretion of YB Dato Menteri  Besar and Majlis Mesyuarat Kerajaan Negeri. Basically, if any leasehold property is about to expire it is the responsibility owner of the land to apply extension or renewal of lease for the maximum period of 99 years. Once the application approved the state authority will serve the owner with notice 5A (Premium Payable). Va luers are not required to assess amount of premium but it is a requirement by Pejabat Tanah to assess the approved current market value (ACMV) to be formulated to the Land Office’s formulae. Premium considered as a gift.

 

2.0.1: PREMIUM CALCULATIONS:

Formulae: By the order of Government of Selangor.

Period Rate
LAND ALIENATION
Alienation to:

· Category of Land Use- Building

· Express Condition – Residential

¼ X 1/100 X COMV X N X LAND AREA
EXTENSION OF LEASE DURING UNEXPIRED TERM AND CHANGES IN CATEGORY OF LAND USE AS WELL AS CHANGES IN EXPRESS CONDITION TO RESIDENTIAL
During unexpired term:

· Category of Land Use- Existing Category.

· Express Condition- Existing condition in the titles document.

To :

· Category- Building

· Express condition - Residential

¼ X 1/100 X COMV X N X LAND AREA
RENEWAL OF LEASE DURING EFFECTIVE UNEXPIRED TERM
· No changes in category and express condition ¼ X 1/100 X COMV X (n-UxT) X LAND AREA
EXTENSION AFTER LEASE EXPIRED
· Application upon expiry ¼ X 1/100 X COMV X N X LAND AREA + [SPECIAL PREMIUM RM 200.00 FOR EVERY OF ‘N” LATE] + ( QUIT RENT x PERIOD OF OCCUPATION AFTER EXPIRY)

 

2.0.2 PROCEDURE FOR LEASE RENEWAL:

  • Extension of leases is governed by Section 197 of the National Land Code 1965.
  • Leasehold owner have to fill in a form Permohonan Serahbalik dan Mohon Semula Tanah Untuk Tujuan Melanjutkan Tempoh Pajakan.
  • With proper documents included i.e quit rent receipts, copies and site plans and such, a settlement officer (S.O) would prepare a report incorporated in a draft paper for approval of the state exco. This may take up to 3 months or more upon the discretion of the state government.
  • Once approval has been given by the exco, the owner would be notified and would have to submit Form 12A which entails giving back the property to the land administrator for re-alienation.
  • If the application is approved, the land office will issue ‘Notice that Land Revenue is Due’ Form 5A to the property owner giving them 3 months to settle the premium (lump sum) from the issuance date.
  • If the owner fails to pay the premium, and the lease expires, the property automatically reverts back to the state government and this allows anyone to apply for the land.
  • It is advisable to start reapplying for extension at least two (2) to three years (3) years before the lease expires as the whole re-alienating process may take up to at least one year.

 

3.0 LAND DEVELOPMENT IN MALAYSIA:

3.0.1 PLOT RATIO:

According to chapter 1, Section 2 - Akta 267, Akta (Perancangan) Wilayah Persekutuan, 1982 define plot ratio is a ratio between gross floor area of building divide by a total site area. The higher the plot ratio, the more gross floor area can be allocated to the site. Plot ratio is very important measurement to tells the maximum intensity to the development or how much can be built on the site. If a site's allocated plot ratio is higher than that utilized by the existing building or if it is revised upwards, then more gross floor area can be allocated to the site. This would raise the site's value because a developer could build and sell more homes on the site.

Example 1: Proposed one unit of purpose built 20 storey office with car park at located at basement 1 to 4 and level 2 & 3

Site area: 50,000 sq.ft

Proposed Gross Floor area or 289,868 sq.ft.

Calculation of Plot ratio: 289,868 sq.ft / 50,000 sq.ft

: 5.79

Permissible plot ratio for Hotel
6.5 x 50,000 x 36.37 =      118,202.50 sq.ft
So, total permissible floor area for this project is       283,640.50 sq.ft
Excess floor area
Total Floor Area - Permissible floor area =                        266,359.50 sq.ft

Development Charge      266,359.50 @ RM 4.00   1,065,438.00

 

3.0.2. PLOT RATIO FOR MIXED DEVELOPMENT (RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL)

In a mixed development theory, any commercial space exceed 15%  from  total floor area shall be assumed as commercial development. In order to determine whether the development   is subject to development charge or not. The valuer need to ascertain the total plot ratio. If the total plot ratio exceed than permissible plot ratio, then project is subject to excess in floor area development charge rate.

3.0.2.1. EXAMPLE:

Site Area

50,000 sq.ft
Breakdown of Floor Area

PR for Com Space 200,000
50,000
= 4.00
* Plot Ratio for for commercial space is less than permissible plot ratio. That is means
the excess in floor area is related to Residential space only.
 

 

Total floor area 402,000
Permissible floor                        260,000
Area
Excess floor area 402,000 - 260,000
                       142,000 sq.ft
Since the excess is only related to Residential space, valuer need to assess the average floor area
for every residential units.
Residential Space                        202,000
Units 210
Average FA                          961.90
say 962 sq.ft
When the information regarding the average floor area is gathered, Valuer now required
to assess the excess in units of residential
Excess in FA                        142,000 sq.ft
Average FA 962 sq.ft
                         147.61
Say 148 units
CALCULATION OF DEVELOPMENT CHARGE FOR MIXED DEVELOPMENT (COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL)
148 units x RM 4,000                  592,000.00 RM

4.0 POPULATION DENSITY:
According to Planning Act 1982( Federal Territory) - Density  means highest and best usage of the particular land, calculated based on the amount of people, residential unit or any space that can be occupied or any annex attached to any hereditament for usage for a particular land.

4.0.1:  WHY WE NEED TO CALCULATED THE POPULATION DENSITY:
Density calculation as part of the Jabatan Perancangan Bandar requirement to be attached in a development proposal as an instrument used to grant a development permission on that land, before any construction commence on that particular land. Any excess in density as approved by the Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) and Center Planning Area (CPA) plan shall be chargeable with development charge (caj pembangunan).

4.0.2: CDP 1040& CDP 1039 UNDER FEDERAL TERRITORY STURUCTURAL PLAN.

  • For an area within 36 sq miles from the town center the Basic zoning density is 10 to 40 people per acre which any excess of the requirement is chargeable with Development Charge.
  • For any land in federal territory not listed CDP plan 1040, 1041& 1039 was zoned as residential purpose with the basic zoning density is 60 people per acre.

 

Any application from the developers regarding the amendment of existing density shall submit

Amendment  to Density Plan to JPBD,W.P  together with the prescribe fee for approval is  RM1000

4.0.3: METHODS TO CALCULATE THE DENSITY:
Valuer should assessed  few basic information that required before ascertaining  the density.
- Proposed residential units
- Particular on the land area of the said land

4.0.3.1:  Basic formulae in density calculation

Basic Density =     Total residences

Proposed development area (Land area).

There are three methods normally used in determining the density for the purpose of application of Planning Permission

GROSS DENSITY
Gross Density =  Total Residence

           Total land area for residential (proposed)

*Total land area for residential including any public amenities components, infra and any material related to public facilities not including commercial and industrial area.

NET DENSITY
Net density = Total Residence

Total land area for residential according to development phases

DENSITY WITHOUT LOW COST UNIT (DWLCU)

Calculation of this density is Total Residence within that area (disregarded  Low- Cost Unit) divided with total land area for residential (disregarded site area for low cost housing).

 

DWLCU =                     Total Residence (without  Low Cost)

                              Total Land area for Residential Development)

*Total Residential Area – Total Low Cost Area.

 

Example: Calculate the basic density for the following development

  • Development Proposal: 3 blocks of Medium Cost Apartment 13 to 19 storey comprises of 308 units residential parcel.
  • Proposed Development area 2.26 acre
  • Occupation of each parcel shall not exceed  5 pax per parcel

Answer: 681 people per acre
