 INFORMATION SHEET

SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN is the outline and measurements of the proposed

building and its placement on the property.
This shows the position and the location of the building with property
line, setbacks, approaches, grade contours, landscape and other
pertinent data in relation to the site. A site development plan is drawn
using a scale not smaller than 1:200meters.

SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN

SITE is an area of land available for construction or the lot on which a building
is constructed. Building site maybe a single lot, a series of lots, or a
subdivision. A lot is a piece of ground of specific size. A subdivision is a
large tract of land that is being developed

PLANNING CONSIDERATION IN DEVELOPING THE SITE

▪ Location of a proposed house on the lot. The location of the house must
be considered in order to determine the locations of the rooms and the house
itself on the lot. Some lots are located on swampy grounds and others on
hilly or rugged terrain. Still others are sited near rivers, highways, streets
and squatter areas. The front part of the house generally faces the street or
away from ugly views like the back parts of neighboring houses, a swampy
area, and thick bushes.
▪ Many want their bedrooms to face the sunrise – which is, on the eastern
side of the lot. Others, especially those who work at night, prefer their
bedrooms located on the west side. The breeze at the site may determine the
location of the living room and toilet or bathrooms. The height of the flood
waters in the locality should also be considered in determining the distance
of the first floor from the ground. This is especially true in low areas. In high
locations the floor may be 20 cm. only from the ground level.
▪ As earlier mentioned the house may be located at the center of the lot. Or
one of its sides may be exactly on a lot line or fence. In this case, a firewall
which is made of concrete, adobe, and concrete hollow blocks should be
constructed on this side of the house.

▪ Like and dislikes of the family member. This factor is usually considered
when the family is rich and can afford to pay for the services of an architect
or draftsman. Before he designs the house, the architect or draftsman has
to first interview the members of the family to get information about their
interests, hobbies, and the like. From such interviews, he will get to know
whether the family wants a library or study room, a social hall, a playroom,
a music room, a swimming pool, a carport or garage, servant’s quarters, a
driver’s room, a landscaped garden, a balcony, and a roof garden.

Property Lines are those lines

working outside of the
lot area.

Setback refers to the distance at how far a building can be built within the
property lines.

Zoning refers to the legal restrictions on size, location, and type of structures to
be built on a designated area.

Zoning Laws
One major area covered by building code is the zoning laws. Zoning laws
are designed to keep different areas of a community from interfering with each
other. In some cities or towns, separate areas are set aside for specific uses.
Examples are residential, commercial, and industrial. These are established
and protected by zoning laws.
In addition, zoning laws establish standards for construction in different
sizes and uses.

One of the first things an architect must do before designing a building is

to read the building codes. The intended use of the building has to be within
the limits of zoning laws. Also, the size of the lot must be large enough to meet
the requirements.

Building Code are local laws that set standard for structural design within the
community.

This is a collection of local laws that regulate the building of homes

and other structures. These legal requirements are intended to protect
 the safety and health of the people who live and work in the buildings.
They regulate restrictions concerning the construction of buildings to
provide safety to the occupants.

All constructions in an area must meet the requirements of building

codes. Some of the designs and construction features covered by building
codes include:

▪ Qualifications of persons who can design building within the area.

▪ Structural design that can be used
▪ Lot sizes for certain types of buildings
▪ Types and sizes of materials that can be used.

National Building Code Rules:

1. For one-storey wooden or frame house, the height of the floor plan from
the ground should not be less than 1.50 m.

2. Walls with window opening should not be less than 2.00 m. from the lot
line of fence. In other words, adjacent houses should not be at least 4.00
m. from each other.

3. The front part of a house should not be less than 3.00 m. from the lot line
along the street.

4. No windows should be constructed along a wall of a house if this wall is

flush with or exactly on the lot line.

Types of Lot

1. Inside lot Is a lot surrounded on each side by other lots

2. Through lot is a lot having frontage on two public streets or highways
3. Corner lot is a lot with at least two adjacent sides meeting on a corner of
two streets.
4. Open lot is a lot bounded on all sides by streets or pathways

6
Percentage of Lot Occupancy

1. Every building, except those especially mentioned in the building

ordinance, shall be limited in its occupancy.

Limitation of Lot Occupancy

a. To secure natural light and ventilation
b. For better fire protection

2. Limits of Lot Occupancy

Domestic building on inside lot - 70%

Domestic building on corner lot - 90%
Non-Domestic building on inside lot - 90%
Non-domestic building on corner lot - 95%

Measurement of Lot Occupancy

1. Measurement of lot occupancy shall be taken at ground level
2. Items not included in measurements:
a. Court
b. Yard
c. Light well
(Light Well - same as close court only, it has no passages it is used
only for illumination and ventilation. Doors are used only for
maintenance.)

Open Court Close Court
