SUBJECT: Guidelines on the DesignDevelopment of ProposedDPWH Housing SubdivisionProjects for Urban and RuralAreas

In order to have standard design parameters for the development of Proposed DPWHHousing Subdivisionprojects situated either in urban or rural areas, the following guidelinesare hereby issuedfor the information and complianceof all concerned:

1. Housing projects shall be located in residential zones or other areas appropriate forresidential uses in conformity with the LGU Zoning Ordinance or ApprovedComprehensive Land Use Plan. If none, the dominant land use principle and sitesuitability factors, as provided under P.D. 957 (Regulating the Sale of Subdivision Lotsand Condominiums) and its Amended Implementing Rules and Regulations, shall beapplied.

2. Allocation of land shall be as follows:

a. Buildable (Saleable)Area - maximum of 70% of the gross area of the Subdivision;

b. Non-Buildable (Non-Saleable) Area - minimum of 30% of the gross area. Theseinclude roads, sidewalks, alleys and open spaces {i.e. parks/playgrounds,community facilities, area for sewagetreatment plant (STP), if any}.

3. Lot Requirements. To accommodate a wider range of clientele (in terms of incomelevel/paying capacity) and to provide diversity in housing design, the lot sizes, as shownin Annex "1" and "2", can be integrated in one subdivision project. However, R-2 lots(for single detached residence) shall be located only in one block while R-3 lots (forrowhouse) shall also be located in another block, preferably located at the sides or backperimeter of the subdivision.

4. Roads, including other road right-of-way (RROW)components (see Annex "2"), shall beso aligned to facilitate movement within and in link to the nearest major transportationroute and adjacent property. As much as possible, roads should conform to thecontours of the land. Likewise, various utility lines (i.e. drainage, water, electricity andcommunications) shall be properly located within the RROW.. Compliance to thepertinent requirements of the Accessibility Law (BP Big. 344), i.e. curb ramp/sstrategically located on sidewalks, shall be observed.

5. In compliance with the current environmental laws/orders regarding sewage/effluentdisposal and/or treatment, the necessary STP should be integrated in the proposedhousing subdivision project.
