Variations, however are also | | possible, as may be based on some specific regional, cultural and | | economic setting, e.g., building materials, space requirements and | | usage. The parameters used in formulating these Design Standards | | are:\ | | \ | | A. Protection and safety of life, limb, property and general public | | welfare.\ | | \ | | B. Basic needs of human settlements, enumerated in descending order | | as follows:\ | | \ | | 1) Water\ | | 2) Movement and Circulation\ | | 3) Storm drainage\ | | 4) Solid and Liquid Waste Disposal\ | | 5) Power\ | | 6) Park/Playground\ | | \ | | The provision of these basic needs shall be based on the actual | | setting within which the project site is located.\ | | \ | | C. Affordability levels of target market\ | | \ | | D. Location\ | | \ | | The Actual setting of project site shall determine the type and | | degree of development to be required in a subdivision/housing project | | regardless of political boundaries.

It shall be stable enough | | to accommodate foundation load without excessive site works. Critical | | areas (e.g., areas subject to flooding, lands slides and street) must | | be avoided.\ | | \ | | 2. Slope\ | | \ | | Flat to rolling terrain (0 to 5%) are preferable but housing | | development may take place up to 15% slopes, with flat lands (below | | 5%) for high density development and sloping area (5-15%) for low to | | medium density development. The latter slopes, however, should be | | capable of being developed for habitation at reasonable cost with | | assurance of stability for vertical construction.\ | | \ | | 3. Availability of basic needs\ | | \ | | The prioritized basic needs cited earlier shall preferably be | | available within reasonable distance from the project site, but where | | these are not available, the same shall be provided for by the | | developer.\ | | \ | | 4. Conformity with the Zoning Ordinance or Land Use Plan of the | | City/Municipality\ | | \ | | Generally, housing projects should conform with the Zoning Ordinance | | of the city/municipality where they are located. However, where there | | is no Zoning Ordinance or Land Use Plan, the dominant land use | | principle and site suitability factors cited herein shall be used in | | determining suitability of a project to a site.\ | | \ | | Furthermore, if the project is undoubtedly supportive of other land | | uses and activities, (e.g., housing for industrial workers) said | | project shall be allowed.\ | | \ | | B. Allowance for future development\ | | \ | | Project design should consider not only the reduction of cost of | | development to a minimum but also provision for possible future | | improvement or expansion, as in the prescription of lot sizes, | | rights-of-way of roads, open space, allocation of areas for common | | uses and facilities.\ | | \ | | C. Land Allocation\ | | \ | | 1. Saleable and non-saleable are\ | | \ | | There shall be no fixed ratio between saleable portion and | | non-saleable portion of a subdivision project.\ | | \ | | 2. Area allocated for Circulation System\ | | \ | | The area allocated for the circulation system shall not be fixed, as | | long as the prescribed dimension and requirements for access (to both | | the project site and to dwelling units) specified in these Design | | Standards are complied with.\ | | \ | | 3. Area allocated for community facilities\ | | \ | | Sites for community facilities shall be reserved or allocated by the | | developer, where such facilities may be constructed/put up the | | Homeowners Association as the need arises. Said sites shall be used | | exclusively for these facilities as defined in Rule II, and the area | | shall be exclusive of that area intended for park/playground.\ | | \ | | The area allocated for community facilities shall vary with the | | density of the subdivision, i.e., number of lots and/or living units | | whichever is applicable, as shown in Table I.\ | | \ | | TABLE I\ | | REQUIRED AREA FOR COMMUNITY FACILITIES\ | | ACCORDING TO DENSITY\ | | \ | | No. of lots and/or living units Areas for Community Facilities\ | | per ha. % of gross area of subdivision\ | | \ | | 150 and below 1%\ | | 151 to 225 1.5%\ | | above 225 2.0%\ | | \ | | Community facilities shall be centrally located where they can serve | | maximum member of population, preferably near or side by side the | | park/playground.\ | | \ | | 4. Area allocated for Park/Playground\ | | \ | | Provision for park/playground is required in all cases.\ | | \ | | Allocation of areas for parks and playgrounds shall be exclusive of | | those allocated for community facilities and shall vary according to | | the density of lots and/or living units in the subdivision, whichever | | is applicable, as shown in Table 2.\ | | \ | | TABLE 2\ | | REQUIRED AREA FOR PARK/PLAYGROUND\ | | ACCORDING TO DENSITY\ | | \ | | Area for Park/\ | | DensityPlayground\ | | \ | | No. of lots and/or living % of gross area of\ | | units per hectare subdivision\ | | \ | | 150 and below 3.5\ | | 151 to 225 7.0\ | | above 225 9.0\ | | \ | | Location of parks shall be based on hierarchy, accessibility and | | shall be free from hazard, risks, barriers, etc.\ | | \ | | Landscaping (sodding and tree-planting) shall be done by the | | subdivision developer/owner.\ | | \ | | Minimum size for a pocket park is 100 square meters.\ | | \ | | D. Integration of project site with adjacent property and to the | | total development context of the city/municipality.\ | | \ | | Land allocation and alignment of the various utilities (roads, | | drainage, power and water) of the subdivision should align and be | | integrated with those of existing networks as well as projects | | outside the boundaries of the project site, e.g., access roads (road | | connecting project site to the nearest public road) should follow the | | standard specification of the MPWH.\ | | \ | | Hierarchy of roads (with respect to function and dimensions) shall be | | observed when planning the road network within the project site such | | that no major or minor road align with an alley or footpath.\ | | \ | | Sec. 7. Design Standards and Planning Considerations. -- The | | following design standards and planning considerations shall be | | observed by all projects covered by these Rules.\ | | \ | | A. Water Supply\ | | \ | | 1. Underdeveloped Area\ | | \ | | Minimum requirement shall be provision of communal wells.\ | | \ | | Water supply must be potable and adequate at least 43 liters per | | capita per day.
