Pursuant to Article lV Sec{ion 5 c) of Executive Order No. 648 the followingrules are hereby promulgated by the Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board(HLURB) to implement Presidential Decree Nos. 957, 1216, 1344 and other relatedlaws applicable to open market and medium cost subdivision and cpndominiumprojects.

RULE IMINIMUM DESIGN STANDARDS

Section 1. Design Standards for Subdivision

Residential subdivision projecis shall conform with the follorving minimum designstandards, applicable local government units' (LGU) zoning ordinances as well aspertinent provisions of the National Building Code if project is with housingcomponent:

A. Site Griteria

'1. Location

Conformity with Zoning Ordinance/Comprehensive Land Use Plan

Subdivision prolects shatl be located in residential zones or other areasappropriate for residential uses. lf there is no Zoning Ordinance or approvedComprehensive Land Use Plan, the dominant land use principle and sitesuitability factors cited herein shall be used in determining suitability of apro1ect.

Subdivision projects supportive of other major urlcan activities (e.9. housingfor industrial workers) may be allored in area zoned for the said urbanactivities.

2. PhysicalSuitability

Subdivision projects shall be located within suitable sites for housing andoutside hazard prone areas and protection areas as provided for by pertinentlaws. Critical areas (e.9, areas subjec{ to flooding, landslides and those withunstable soil) must be avoided.

The site shall be stable enough to accommodate foundation load withoutexcessive earthmoving, grading or cufting and filling.

*T,-ri'

B.

3. Accessibility

The site must be served by a road that is readily accessible to publictransportation lines. Said a@ess road shall conform wrth the standards setherein to accommodate expected demand caused by the development ofthe area. ln no case shall a subdivision proJect be approved without thenecessary access road/right-of-way. Said access road right-of-way may beconstnrted either by the developer or the local government unit.

Planning Consideratlons

1 . Area Plannlng

Planning and designing of subdivision projects shall take into account thefollowing:

a. safety and general welfare ofthe future occupants:

b. adequate, safe, efficient and integrative road circulation systemservicing every lot therein;

c. judicious allocation of land uses for diversity and amenity:

d. preservation of site:

e. proper siting or orientation of lots;

f. harmony with existing and proposed development in the vicinity;

g. application of workable design principles or parameters for a wellplanned and self-sustaining environment.

When a developer or planner submits a Planned Unit Development (PUD)type of pro1ect, the layout shall likewise conform to the stiandards forresidential/condominium projects.

a. Open spaces

Open spaces shall conform to the provisions of P.D. 1216 and itsimplementing rules and shall include the following:

a.1 Streets - adeguate and safe means of vehicular and pedestriancirculation and easements for utilities and planting strips, shall beorovided.

a,2 Walks - paved walks shall be provided to the living units ftomstreets, parking spaces and from living units to play areas

a.3 Parks and playground - suitable recreational area(s) shall beallocated within the subdivision. Where applicable, a hierarchy of

Y41 ,"f

such recreational areas may be provided for, such that, astrategically located main park area is supplemented orcomplemented by one or more smaller pocket(s) or areas forrecreational use. These areas must be accessible to living unitsand free from anv form of hazard or risk. Said parks andplaygrounds shall be cleared and free from any debris. Parks andplaygrounds as much as possible shall be at street level.

b. Facilrties and Amenities

Areas required for subdivision facilities and amenities shall bejudiciously allocated in accordance with the provisions hereinsoecified.

c. Density

Density of subdivision projects shall conform with the residentialdensities set forth in the zoning ordinance of the city/municipalitywhere project is located. Where there is a mixture of housing typeswithin the subdivision (such as singledetached, row house' townhouses, etc.), density shall include the total number of dwelling units inmulti-storey structure plus the total number of lots intended for singleand semidetached houses.

2. Site Preservation

a. Slope

D ,

The finished grade shall have a desired slope to allow rain water to bechanneled into street drains. Where cut and fill is necessary, anappropriate grade shall be aftained to prevent any depression in thearea.

Grading and ditching shall be executed in a manner that will preventerosion or flooding of adjoining properties.

Preservation of Site Assets

Suitable trees with a caliper diameter of 200 millimeters or more'shrubs and desirable ground cover per Department of Environmentand Natural Resources {DENR) rules shall be presewed' Where agood quality top soil exists in the site, it shall be banked and shall be

[reserved ior finishing grades of yards, playgrounds, parks andgaroen area.

Ground Cover

Grass, shrubs, plants and other landscaping materials used for groundcover shall be of a variety appropriate for its intended use and location'They shall be planted so as to allow well-tended cover of the area.

^.1 ,-ft'

Easements

Subdivision projects shall observe and conform to the following provisionson easements as may be required by:

Whenever there are existing roads within the project site which shallbe made part of the subdivision plan, these shall be improved inaccordance with the standards set forth herein.

b. Streets should conform to the contours of the land as far asoracticable.

Where a proposed project adjoins a developed property, roads withinthe said project shall be connected/integrated/aligned with existingones.

Where a proposed project adjoins undeveloped property, a provisionfor future connection shall be mandatorv.
