Subdivision and Space Planning

Subdivision Planning:

• Motor courts should have a right-of-way of NOT less than 6 meters.
• For projects <= 2.5 hectares, major road right-of-way width is 10 meters.
• For projects <= 2.5 hectares, minor road right-of-way width is 8 meters.
• For projects above 5 to 10 hectares, major road right-of-way width is 12 meters.
• For projects above 5 to 10 hectares, minor road right-of-way width is 8 meters.

Space Planning:

• Building design character adapting to the community is NOT a relevant consideration.
• Privacy is NOT relevant to space planning.

Planning Process:

• A prospective home builder/owner should first select his/her architect
• Architects should first submit a professional brief and fee proposal when meeting a prospective client.
• Signing a service agreement should come first in the planning process.
• The professional architect is approved before the submission of the schematic design
• Probable project cost is submitted to the owner after signing the service agreement.

Laws and Land Use

Urban Design Elements

• Nodes are intensive foci from which an observer is traveling.

Urban Planning Theories and Factors

• Rectilinear shapes are formed by two corridors of intense development crossing the center of urban cities.
