Which plan applies in Frankfurt am Main
In Frankfurt am Main we read the binding development plan (Bebauungsplan) of the city planning office for each plot — with its Baugebiet and the BauNVO version of the plan, updated daily. Where no plan sets the type of use (e.g. old Fluchtlinienpläne, §34 BauGB), we use the Regional Land-Use Plan 2010 of the Regionalverband FrankfurtRheinMain as guidance, and say so.

Do I need a permit to open a café or shop in Frankfurt am Main?
Usually yes: changing the use of a space (Nutzungsänderung) needs a building permit even without construction work. The application is filed by a certified architect or engineer; LocalCheck gives them the planning-law starting point (Baugebiet, conditions, plan reference).
