4. Maximum Number of Dwelling Units in Forbes Park Village lot: The

maximum number of dwelling units in a Forbes Park Village lot shall be
determined as follows:
9
A= B X 0.0016
Where: B = area in square meters of the R-1 Forbes Park Village

lot
A= numerical product derived by multiplying the lot area
of the R-1 lot and the factor of 0.0016.
To derive the maximum number of dwelling units allowable in the R-1

lot, the numerical product, A, shall be rounded off downwards to the
nearest whole number, and it is this whole number that will equal the
maximum number of dwelling units allowable in the R-1 lot. In no case,
however, shall the maximum number of dwelling units that can be built
in an R-1 lot be less than two (2).
Examples of application of formula:
a. 1,800 square meter R-1 lot: 1,800 multiplied by 0.0016 is equal

to 2.88; therefore the maximum number of dwelling units that can
be built in this lot is two (2).
b. 1,000 square meter R-1 lot: 1,000 multiplied by 0.0016 is equal
to 1.6; however, since the maximum number of dwelling units
that can be built in an R-1 lot shall not be less than two (2), then
the maximum number of dwelling units that can be built on this
lot is two (2).
5. Maximum Number of Buildings in Forbes Park Village lot: The

maximum number of buildings that can be built in a Forbes Park Village
lot is one (1). One or main structures or dwelling units that are
interconnected shall be considered as one building.
6. Maximum Lot Coverage in Forbes Park Village lot: forty percent (40%)
of lot area.
SECTION 15. Medium Density Residential Zone (R-2). An R-2 zone shall
be used primarily for medium density housing, with support commercial,

SECTION 21. Planned Unit Development Zone (PUD): This zone shall
specifically refer to land development or redevelopment schemes for large
government lots or consolidated lots into one (1) title wherein the project site
must have a Master Development Plan that permits flexibility in
27
planning/urban design, building siting, complementary of building types and
land uses, usable open spaces for general public use and the preservation of
significant natural land features, if feasible.
1. The proposed site must be free from any encumbrances and the
development must conform with the objectives of the New Makati
Comprehensive Land Use Plan (2013-2023).
2. The Master Development Plan of the proposed development shall be

reviewed by the Urban Development Department (UDD), Department
of Engineering and Public Works (DEPW), and other concerned
departments/agencies. The Master Development Plan shall be adopted
by the City through an Executive Order issued by the Mayor.
3. The development should provide for adequate open space and parking
areas. The internal circulation system and ingress/egress points with
external traffic flow must be well coordinated within the PU D.
4. A buffer zone must be established on the perimeter of the development

where no structures are to be located and adequate landscaping will be
established.
5. The Master Development Plan should comply with the rules and
regulations related to NBC, Safety Code, and other applicable laws.
Likewise, as part of the project approval requirements, there is a need
to submit impact studies of the development such as but not limited to
EIA, TIA, U lA and EGGAR. As well as other appropriate interventions
and mitigating measures recommended by the studies.
SECTION 22. Special Mixed-Use Zone (SMU): This zone shall specifically
refer to planned mixed-use development in Fort Bonifacio area and the
commercial/mixed-use development along both sides of Chino Roces Avenue
from Don Bosco Street in the north to the Maricaban Creek in the south.
The SMU in Fort Bonifacio is guided by a specific development guideline

prepared for this purpose.
The SMU along Chino Roces Avenue is envisioned to serve as platform for
innovative/visionary initiatives, incubator spaces for the development of
creative economy, promising start-ups and sites for KPO to complement the
corporate nature of CBD. As a whole, it is intended to be a mixed-use
development creating a good mix of vibrant residential and commercial
activities. Developers and/or lot owners are encourage to prepare and submit
to the UDD for evaluation, Master Development Plan for their proposed
project/s. The City Mayor, based on the technical evaluations conducted by
the UDD will recommend the approval of the Master Development Plan to the
City Council.
This approach gives more flexibility both to the City and to the developer, to
allow more of a range of land uses, as long as their overall impact is positive;
28
as well as to determine appropriate densities that could be supported by said
development. In addition, new technologies and more innovations can be
incorporated in the project as agreed by both parties. This approach is
perceived to foster better communication and collaboration between the public
and private sectors.
The SMU along Chino Roces Avenue is intended to preserve the natural
features of the area, since the impacts of such developments are evaluated
directly. Minimum requirements such as improvements in traffic circulation,
pedestrian, open space and other facilities for public use will be required as a
condition for any development within SMU. The Master Development Plan
should comply with the rules and regulations related to NBC, Safety Code,
and other applicable laws. Likewise, as part of the project approval
requirements, there is a need to submit impact studies of the development
such as but not limited to EIA, TIA, UIA and EGGAR. As well as other
appropriate interventions and mitigating measures recommended by the
studies.
The developers/lot owners have the option to develop their properties either
by adopting the SMU or to conform with the overlay land use and zoning
regulations for the area.
SECTION 23. Special Precincts for Urban Redevelopment Zone (SPUR).

A SPUR Zone is intended to catalyze redevelopment in several identified
locations throughout the City. Most of these areas are less affluent than their
neighboring commercial/business zones. Nonetheless, these strategically
located areas have the potential to transform into higher value developments
that could nurture new business ventures, distribute economic opportunities to
the local community and add to the city's inventory of commercial spaces.
It is envisioned to encourage more enterprising activities in a predominantly

residential neighborhood in order to transform them into a more vibrant and
attractive cluster with thematic developments (e.g. furniture/automotive district
in Evangelista, entertainment-based uses in Carmona-Oiympia area,
riverside/recreational development along Pasig River, etc.), improve the
image and sense of place of the neighborhood, and serve as an urban
renewal model.
A SPUR Zone is also intended to provide a mechanism for private-public

sector collaboration with respect to upgrading infrastructure and utilities, and
other investments in the neighborhood. This may involve incentives granted to
private sector proponents of redevelopment projects within a SPUR Zone
subject to the following conditions:
1. Development Guidelines prescribing the general requirements in each

SPUR Zone is prepared and adopted by the City.
29
2. A proponent for a redevelopment project within a SPUR Zone shall
submit Master Development Plan that conforms to the
thematic/functional character of the Zone.
3. A redevelopment project within a SPUR Zone has a minimum of 5,000

square meter land area.
4. The proposed SPUR project will clearly benefit the neighbourhood and
the City in the form of increased safety and improvements in traffic
circulation, pedestrianization, open space provision and other public
services and facilities.
In the absence of a Master Development Plan, the overlay land use and
zoning regulations shall apply.
A Special Body created under Section 68 shall prepare the IRR in the form of
development guidelines to describe and guide in detail the objectives,
preparation and implementation of SPUR Zone Master Development Plans,
including the application, approval and management of proposed
redevelopment projects in a SPUR Zone. The IRR shall identify the form and
amount of incentives that may be granted to SPUR project proponents.
Section 24. Disaster Resiliency Initiative for Vulnerable Enclave Zone

(DRIVE): DRIVE Zones are designated in areas in most need of upgrade
and/or redevelopment, owing to their environmental, geo-hazard and poor
habitation conditions, in order to mitigate hazards and reduce vulnerability.
The City through the Special Body created under Section 68 intends to
prepare a Master Development Plan with a corresponding IRR for each
DRIVE Zone, and utilize a land readjustment scheme to improve living
conditions, reduce risks of hazards and disasters, and generate livelihood
opportunities. In no case shall any redevelopment be allowed in a DRIVE
Zone without the conduct of technical studies to assess the site's suitability for
further development.
In the absence of a DRIVE Master Development Plan, the overlay land use
and zoning regulations in each DRIVE Zone shall apply.
SECTION 25. Heritage Preservation Zone (HPZ): This zone shall promote
the preservation of historic/heritage sites and structures as important assets
of the City. Such sites and structures shall be preserved and/or adaptively
reused to enhance their heritage values. To the extent possible, they shall be
made accessible for the educational and cultural enrichment of the general
public.
To guide development and urban design in the area, a HPZ Master

Development Plan and Historical Preservation Guidelines shall be prepared to
ensure that the objectives for which this Zone was designed are met. The
formulation of this Master Development Plan shall involve consultation with
affected lot owners and shall be based on a study conducted by the City. The
Special Body created under Section 68 will spearhead the formulation of the
HPZ Master Development Plan. The City Mayor shall adopt the HPZ Master
30
Development Plan through an Executive Order.
In the absence of the HPZ Master Development Plan and Historic

Preservation Guidelines, the overlay land use and zoning regulations of the
area shall apply.
SECTION 26. Riverside Development Zone (RDZ): This zone shall be used
primarily for outdoor park and related activities and supporting commercial,
cultural, entertainment, and tourist-oriented developments. Developments in
RDZ zone shall conform to a Master Development Plan prepared for this
zone. The RDZ Master Development Plan shall feature and preserve an
overall park and open space character for the area of the RDZ zone fronting
the Pasig River, north of J.P. Rizal Street/Guadalupe-Pateros Road, A.
Bonifacio Street, and future extensions of A. Bonifacio Street. The rest of RDZ
zone shall feature a medium density recreational, entertainment, pedestrian-
and tourism-oriented character. The formulation of the RDZ Master
Development Plan shall involve consultation with affected residents and shall
be based on a study conducted by a reputable consulting firm/s that assesses
