Implementation of the P.D. No. 1096 (1977 NBCP)

and its 2004 Revised IRR
Test Problem No.1 for the Computation of Development Potential
(October 2005)

Problem: Establish the maximum development potential of a property
with the following attributes:
a) a Total Lot Area (TLA) of eight hundred square meters (800.0 sqm), i.e.,
25.0 meters (m) wide by 32.0 m deep inside (or regular) lot located in a
reclamation project planned in mid-2005 and to be completed by 2006;
b) a metropolitan level commercial zoning classification (C-3), allowing for
a high to very high intensity commercial structure and land use;
c) local ordinances and the deed of restrictions for the property state that
firewalls are not allowed for the property but that arcades may be
introduced; and
d) direct access from a fourteen (14.0) m wide road-right-of-way (RROW).

A. Development
Potential to be
Determined
B. Reference in the
2005 Revised IRR
of the NBC
(PD1096)
C. Finding/s for Comparative Use
1. Is the C-3 property
of the minimum
recommended lot
size?

(Guidelines)

2. What is the general
classification of use/
character of
occupancy allowed
for the proposed
building/ structure?

(IRR)

3. What are the
required setbacks and
yards for the
proposed building/
structure?

also Figures VIII.12

and Figure VIII.G.13
(Guidelines)
Front Setback _.0 m
Side Setback _.0 m; and
Rear Setback _.0 m.

Note:
a) Front yard : _.0m setback X
__.0m lot width=___.0 SqM;
b) _ Side yards : _ X _.0m setbacks
X __.0m building/structure depth
=____.0 SqM; and
c) Rear yard : _.0m setback X
__.0m lot width=__.0 SqM.

__.__% of the TLA

4. What is the
Allowable Maximum
Building Footprint
(AMBF) and the
Percentage of Site

the property is to be
developed without
firewalls?

setbacks in Table VIII.3
and then against Table
VII.1 (IRR)

AMBF shall be __.0 m wide by __.0 m
deep or ___.0 sqm (resulting in a
Percentage of Site Occupancy or PSO
of __.__%)

Notes: PSO = AMBF/ TLA;

PSO+Total Yard=100.0% TLA
5. Check Against
Maximum Allowable
Percentage of Site
Occupancy (PSO)
Table VIII.1 (IRR) __.0% max. allowable PSO if without
firewall
(use the __.__% PSO
which is setback compliant)
6. What is the
Building Height Limit
(BHL)

there is no covering
ordinance
__.0 __.0 storeys
(__.0 m to ___.0 m)
7. Check Application
of Angles/ Slopes to
Satisfy Natural Light
and Ventilation
Requirements

(Guidelines), Figure
VIII.20 (IRR); and
Figure VIII.G.13
(Guidelines)
Resultant Floor Plates for a building
without firewalls (at 16.0 storeys or 180
m BHL) excluding basement level shall
be as follows:
a) G/F through 9/F

Grand TGFA of 16,150.9 Sq.M

8. What is the Max.
Total Gross Floor
Area (TGFA) based
on the applicable
Max. GFA?

(Checking)
Table VII.G.2
(Guidelines)
The Max. TGFA shall be _____ SqM
at a Max. GFA of _____ SqM
(at 16.0 storeys or 180.0 m BHL)

while

the max. TGFA shall be _____ SqM
at a Max. GFA of _____ SqM
(at 60.0 storeys or 180.0 m BHL which is
not applicable in this case)

Conclusion: The resultant TGFA of
_______ SqM (as computed in item 7
above) is within the allowed range for
Max. TGFAs for a C-3 property.

9. What is the
Maximum Gross
Floor Area (GFA)
based on the
applicable FLAR?

(Checking)
Multiply TLA of 800.0
SqM by applicable
FLAR information from
Table VII.G.1
(Guidelines)
The Max. GFA is _____ SqM
at FLAR 9.0

while

the Max. GFA shall be _____ SqM
at FLAR 34.0
(at 60.0 storeys or 180.0 m BHL which is
not applicable in this case)

Checking: The resultant TGFA (as
computed in item 8 above)
divided by ___ (a conversion multiplier
from Table VII.G.2) yields a _______
SqM Max. GFA for the subject C-3
property.

Conclusion: The resultant GFA (as
computed above) is within the allowed
range for Max. GFAs for a C-3
property.

10. What is the Floor
to Lot Area Ratio
(FLAR) Designation/
Rights above grade?
Table VII.G.1
(Guidelines)
FLAR ___

up to


(Checking)
FLAR ___
(at 60.0 storeys or 180.0 m BHL
which is not applicable in this case)

Checking: The resultant Max. GFA of
_______ SqM (as computed in item 9
above) divided by the Total Lot Area
(TLA) of 800.0 SqM yields a
_____FLAR for the subject C-3
property.

Conclusion: The resultant FLAR (as
computed above) is within the allowed
range for FLARs for a C-3 property.

11. Check Minimum
Required Off-RROW/
Onsite Parking
Table VII.4 (IRR) Parking slot number and type shall
depend on the intended or declared use of
the proposed building or structure

12. Basement See Figure VIII.G.23
(Guidelines); check also
local ordinances
concerning basement
construction limitations
(if any)

Basement TGFA may approximate the
TGFA above grade, effectively doubling
the development potential of the property
above grade.
13. Arcades check local ordinances
concerning arcade
construction limitations
(if any)

Arcade shall only be inside the property
line

Answers:
The maximum development potential of the subject property is as
follows:

1) an AMBF of _______ SqM (from item 4);

2) a PSO of _______% of the TLA (from item 4);

3) a Max. TGFA of _______ SqM (from items 7 and 8);

4) a Max. GFA of _______ SqM (from item 9); and

5) a ______ FLAR (from item 10).

Nothing follows.
