GPP Pusat Data – KPKT – Translated and cleaned – 5 Specific Guidelines.
TL:DR: – Data Center location planning definitions as seen by the Malaysian planning staff. It defines the categories based on existing categories.
5 SPECIFIC GUIDELINES
5.1 Expansion of Data Centers in New Areas
Table 5.1 : Specific Guidelines for Data Centre Development in New Areas
| CONTROL ASPECTS | PERINCIAN |
| Land Category and Conditions | Land Category: Building or IndustrialLand Conditions: Approval of a special permit from the State Authority is required for permission to use land other than the express conditions stipulated under the KTN (Act 828). Circular JKPTG No. 2/2023: Procedures for the Use of Land in the Building and Industrial Category for Purposes Other than Building and Industrial Categories or Conditions |
| Permitted Land Use Zones | Allowed in industrial land use zones (light and medium) as well as commercial land use zones (refer to the gazetted development plan) |
| Categories DATA CENTERS | All types of DATA CENTERS (small, medium and large) are allowed. |
| Plot Ratio, Plinth Area, Building Height, Displacement Building | Subject to gazetted Development Plan and Uniform Building By-Laws 1984 (UKBS) |
| Requirements for the Preparation of Open Areas | Preparation of 10% of open space; or5% if the master plan has been approved |
| Road Reserve Requirements (Minimum) | Local Road – 20 meters (66′)Collector Street – 30 meters (100′)Street Corner Cut- 9,144m x 9,144m (30′ x 30′) |
| Utility Reserve Requirements | For new developments (greenfields), additional utility reserves are wide 1.5 meters should be provided on the left and right sides of the road reserve Parking Requirements |
| Parking Requirements | TL Car TL Motorcycle TL OKU Loading Bay Parking requirements only refer to office floor space only 1 TLK / 46.41mp (500 sq. ft. office gross floor space) +10% visitors 20% of the total TLK Minimum 1 unit of TLK (placed near the main entrance with ramp and railing facilities)Minimum 1 unit |
| COMPONENT | PLANNING ZONE : Commercial | PLANNING ZONE : Industry |
| Components of DATA CENTERS | Office Space Office /Command Center/ Discussion RoomDining room / PantryPrayer room/ ablution placeToiletGimAuditorium Non-Office Space Data HallChiller Room, Mantrap, Battery Room, Meet-Me-RoomGenerator Set (need to provide noise barrier if it is close to a residential area)Guard LodgeLoader RoomOther support facility requirements related to DATA CENTERSLandfill *Note: It is necessary to indicate the office and non-office space along with the floor plan | |
| Buffer Zone | It is necessary to provide a buffer zone of 50m from the proposed DATA CENTERS building line with the residential lot boundary; orThere is no need for a buffer zone if the noise level is not 5dB of the original noise level. *Note: Buffer zone providers can consider roads, building displacements, planting perimeters, parking lots and other appropriate areas as stipulated by the local authorities. | |
| Design | The facade of the building must be attractive and necessarily adjusted to the surrounding development. The facade of the building must consider the use of building materials that are soundproof or able to prevent from the effects resulting from the activities of the DATA CENTERS. | |
| Other guidelines | The placement of fire hydrants and other fire mitigation requirements must meet the requirements of the Fire and Rescue Department of Malaysia;Mandatory installation of SPAHs with ≥ roofs 100 square meters;Promoting the use of solar;Promoting CPTED design and Universal DesignIntelligent security control system with CCTV | |

| Plot Ratio, Plinth Area, Height Building Shift Building | Subject to gazetted Development Plan and Uniform Building By-Laws 1984 (UKBS) |
| Venue Requirements Parking TL Cars TL Motorcycles READ TL Loading Bay | Parking requirements only refer to office floor space only 1 TLK / 46.41mp (500 sq. ft. office gross floor space) +10% visitors20% of the total TLKMinimum 1 unit of TLK (placed near the main entrance with ramp and railing facilities)Minimum 1 unit |
| Buffer Zone Requirements | The determination of the buffer zone distance is on a case-by-case basis, according to the site and environmental conditions with an assessment of public health and safety risk aspects. |
| Other guidelines | Existing buildings/premises proposed for the development of DATA CENTERS have received CCC.The development of components and other technical requirements must be in accordance with the approval of the original KM and Building Plan (PB). If it involves amendments, it is necessary to resubmit the KM and PB applications.For developments that require the use of electricity and water supply more than the original use, it is necessary to obtain the review and permission of TNB and the state water supply company in advance.The Lapidation Report is prepared to ensure that there is no disturbance/damage to the adjacent buildings. |
