PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
Section 20. Application of Performance Criteria. The following performance

criteria are intended to ensure land use and neighborhood compatibility. All developments
shall exhibit compliance to these criteria which shall form part of the requirements for
Locational Clearance. These standards are by no means exhaustive or all inclusive. The
Local Zoning Board of Adjustment and Appeals (LZBAA) may require other criteria, when
deemed necessary, to ensure land use and neighborhood compatibility.
Section 21. Buffer Yards. Aside from providing light and ventilation, buffers can mitigate
adverse impacts and nuisances between two adjacent developments. Whenever necessary,
buffers shall be required to be extended and/or provided with planting materials in order to
ameliorate said negative condition such as, but not limited to, noise, odor, unsightly buildings
or danger from fires and explosions. Building setbacks shall be considered as buffer yards. A
buffer may also contain a barrier, such as a berm or a fence, where such additional
screening is necessary to achieve the desired level of buffering between various activities.
1. Buffers Between Adjoining Properties. Between two different developments, e.g.

Residential and Commercial, the more intense land use shall provide the proper
buffer design and materials. If a development shall occur beside a vacant lot, the
owners of the properties in consideration may submit a contractual agreement
whereby the required buffer for the first area to develop shall be reduced or
waived. If additional buffer will be required at the time the vacant lot develops, it
shall be provided by the latter development.
The hierarchy of land use intensities, from most to least intensive is provided
below:
- Light Industrial Uses

- General Commercial Uses
- General Institutional Uses
- Parks and Recreation Uses
- Agricultural Uses
- Residential Uses
- Eco-Tourism Uses
16
2. Buffers on Simultaneous Developments. The more intense use shall provide the
necessary buffer in cases when two developments occur simultaneously.
3. Location of Buffers. The building setbacks shall serve as buffer locations, at the
outer perimeter of a lot or parcel. In no case shall buffers occupy public or private
street rights-of-way.
4. Types of Buffers. Landscaped buffers with suitable foliage are encouraged. On

development where it may not be possible to put in landscaped buffers (such as
narrow lots), the developer may put up a fence provided the fencing material is
compatible with the design of the building.
5. Land uses in Buffer Areas. Buffers are part of yards and open spaces and in no
case shall buildings encroach upon it. In May, however, be used for passive
recreation such as gardening, pedestrian trails, etc.
6. Buffers In Industrial Establishments. A planted buffer strip of not less than three
meters wide is required along the periphery of industrial areas and buildings.
Section 22. Environmental Conservation and Protection Criteria. It is the intent of

the LUGS to protect the natural resources of the Municipality. In order to achieve this

and the criteria to be met in their applications for Locational Clearance. This is in order to
facilitate the preparation of the required documents thus fast-tracking the approvals
process. This document will further guide proponents on what is required during the life-
term of their developments to maintain compliance with the provisions of the LUGS.
It should be noted that the Guidelines were crafted to ensure that the design, construction
and operation of all developments are consistent with the vision, goals, objectives and
policies espoused in the Taguig Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) for the period 2000 to
2020.
This document is structured as follows:
- Part 2 - The Taguig Comprehensive Land Use Plan (2000 - 2020)

summarizes the land use goal, objectives and strategies of Taguig for land
development and management within the next 20 years.
- Part 3 - The Land Use Guidance System presents the summary and clarifies the
salient provisions of the Taguig Zoning Ordinance.
- Part 4 – approvals Process provides a step-by-step procedure in the processing and

approval of applications for Locational Clearance.
- part 5 – Monitoring of Compliance provides for the regular monitoring mechanism

to ensure that developments remain aligned with Taguig’s 20year development
vision.

2.0 The Taguig Comprehensive Land Use Plan (2000-2020)
The CLUP translates the Municipality’s Vision to be an “environmentally-sustainable city”

into a set of development policies, strategies, programs and projects. The realization of this
vision is through a set of interrelated Economic, Social, Infrastructure, Environmental,
Administrative and Investment development strategies. These strategies are integrated into
a municipal Land Use Plan, which, in turn, is implemented through the LUGS which is one of
the principal instruments for the achievement of the municipality’s vision.
The Land Use Plan complements the other delivery mechanisms available to the Municipal
Government such as Socio-Economic Development Programs, Infrastructure Development
and Fiscal Incentives. It should be understood that the Land Use Plan focuses on land use
initiatives and development activity. Those initiatives that do not have a direct link to land
use or development are to be found in the other strategies and policy devices that are
adopted by the Municipal Government from time to time.
The direct means by which new development will conform to the Land Use Plan is through
the LUGS that include references to zonal locations, general regulations, performance
criteria and other detailed development provisions. It is intended that in interpreting the
provisions contained within the LUGS and this Implementing Guidelines, direct reference will
be made to the objectives and initiatives for land use and development that are contained in
the Land Use Plan.
2.1 Overall Goal
The overall goal of the Land Use Plan is to provide substantial opportunities for lands in the
Municipality to be put to their most productive uses at the same time ensuring the creation
of a livable and environmentally sustainable municipality.
2.2 Statement of Objectives
Following are the specific objectives of the Land Use Plan:
1. To lay the groundwork that will provide the opportunities to increase the economic
productivity of land and water resources;
2. To promote the development of multi-functional area in order to create compact
communities, minimize travel time, save on transportation costs, and reduce the causes
of air pollution;
3. To regenerate old built-up areas into economically and socially vibrant neighborhoods
through infrastructure upgrading, innovative building regulations and fiscal assistance;
4. To ensure the maintenance of functional open spaces that are within convenient access
to population centers;
5. To control urban growth in environmentally sensitive areas;
6. To ensure high quality developments;
7. To match urban growth with infrastructure and services; and
8. To create a framework that ensures that all developments create positive social,
environmental, economic and fiscal impacts to the community.

2.3 Policy Framework
2.3.1 Context
To meet the goal and Objectives, an overarching Policy Framework was laid down. The
following approaches to Land Use Planning and Management guided the formulation of the
policy framework for Taguig ;
Policy-driven Urban Land Use Planning
A strong Policy Direction, anchored on the attainment of environmental and socio-economic

sustainability shall guide the future growth of Taguig. The framework is geared to facilitate
economic activities while ensuring that positive benefits accrue to the community.
Performance-Based Land Use Management
Emphasis is placed on the role of government as a Growth Manager: as facilitator and

regulator of land development activities. Equal emphasis is accorded to the critical role of
the private sector as the driving force behind the development process. This driving force
shall be strongly guided by government to ensure the public’s welfare.
2.3.2 Overall Policies
Overall policies provide the direction for the land use and management strategies of Taguig:
 Taguig adopts a market-based land management policy to foster an environment that is

highly conducive to economic growth.
 Taguig adopts a policy of development with social responsibility so that the benefits
derived from economic growth shall redound to the direct benefit of the community.
 Taguig adopts a policy of growth with the environmental integrity to ensure that the
ecological balance is at all times maintained.
2.3.3 Specific Policies
Specific policies are geared to attain specific objectives in key land use planning and
management concerns:
Socio-Economic Welfare
Developments should positively contribute to the socio-economic welfare of the community.

Each development shall be judiciously guided to ensure their respective positive
contribution to the Municipality.
Environmental Conservation and Preservation
All significant environmental assets shall be conserved. These include natural views/vistas.
Trees, vegetation, surface and groundwater, air, etc. Structures facilities and other
developments shall closely consider the maintenance of the environmental integrity of their
areas and the immediate vicinity.
-3-
Neighborhood Compatibility
Development shall always enhance the quality of their neighborhoods. The design,
construction, operation and maintenance of every facility shall be in harmony with the
intended character of its neighborhood. Further, every development should cause a
substantial improvement to the value of the properties in the neighborhood in particular
and the community in general.
Active Urban Open Spaces
The municipality promotes the development of a network of active urban open spaces. All
large-scale sprawling developments (subdivisions, shopping malls, industrial estates, etc.)
shall provide functional green open spaces which shall be effectively utilized by facility users.
Individual developments shall be required to provide adequate ground open spaces to
create a harmonious blend of built-up and green areas.
Idle Urban Lands
The municipality considers land as a highly valuable and limited asset. It therefore
encourages that lands held in land bank be utilized. Urban agricultural programs may be
implemented to put these lands into interim productive use. These may be also be used for
temporary recreational facilities.
Agricultural Lands
Agricultural lands are recognized as valuable resources which provide employment, amenity
and bio-diversity. All agricultural lands in the municipality shall keep in a productive state
and shall not be prematurely re-classified.
Historic Conservation and Preservation
Historic sites and facilities shall be conserved and preserved. These shall, to the extent
possible, be made accessible for the educational and cultural enrichment of the general
public. The municipality shall maintain an inventory of these sites and facilities.
2.3.4 Land Use Strategy
The land, use strategy of Taguig employs a two-layered framework. The first is through a
Structure Plan that outlines the skeletal future configuration of the growth of Taguig. It
pinpoints critical Growth Centers (centers of employment and services) and defines their
most probable functions and how they will likely affect the municipality’s growth. Their
functional interrelationships to the overall urban fabric of Taguig, along with the required
internal and external linkages are also provided.
Major Growth Centers, or those that provide employment and service opportunities either
for the whole of Taguig or to a much larger (regional) clientel, have been designated. These
are further sub-classified into two: Mixed Use Centers and Industrial Centers. Mixed Use
Centers have been identified to provide for the equitable distribution of development
opportunities in Taguig. Mixed- use centers are distributed in the northern, central and
southern parts of the municipality. Individually and collectively, their potentials to service
-4-
business and employment requirements at a regional scale are expected to have significantly
positive impacts to the development of the other areas in the municipality. These centers
shall have functions beyond being central business districts as they shall be directly
supported by complete community facilities and amenities such as residences, schools,
recreation and others. The Northern Mixed Use Center is the Global City which has
regionally significant development impacts. This center also includes the 25-hectrare
municipal-owned area beside the BHIT. The Central Mixed Use Center, on the other the,
includes the DMCI Mixed-Use Project in the Bambang-Hagonoy area. Finally, the Southern
Growth Center includes the FTI Complex which has long been a significant center of
employment and is being planned for conversion into a mixed-use development area. Given
these centers’ enormous growth generating potential, these have to be properly
interconnected in order to generate maximum access opportunities thereby benefiting the
entire municipality.
Three significant industrial centers, along with the smaller area occupied by the RSBS
Industrial Estate, complement the Northern, Central and Southern Mixed Use Centers. These
significant centers include the Northeastern Industrial Center (Napindan), Central Industrial
Center (BCDA IT Park), and Southern Industrial Center (Bagong Tanyag - Bagumbayan). The
long-term objective for these centers is for the development of light and information
technology-based industries. As in the Mixed Use Centers, these have to be physically linked
with the rest of Taguig in order to enhance the inter-dependent movement of people, goods
and services.
There are also thirteen designated Local Growth Centers that shall provide neighborhood-
scale services. Located at critical junctions throughout the municipality, these centers ensure
the easy access of community services for residents throughout Taguig. Small retailing and
service facilities that cater to the requirements of the immediate community characterized
these centers. Urban design controls (building and site development) and management
(traffic) have to be implemented to make these centers grow more effectively.
The second layer is a Land Management Framework which spells out the broad policies and
programs that will guide all developments in Taguig. The Land Management Framework
ensures that individual developments remain consistent to the goals of socio-economic
progress and growth sustainability. For the purpose of guiding developments in the various
locations in Taguig, eleven Land Management Areas are defined. These are Urban Core Area,
General Residential Development Area-1, General Residential Development Area- 2, Light
Industrial Area, Socialized Housing Area, Low Density Residential Development Area,
Institutional Are, Tourism Development Area, Military Area and Open Space Area.
The Classification of areas was based on proximity, commonality of concerns, level of

urbanization, environmental characteristics and development potentials. Policy directions as
well as broad development programs that respond to key issues are provided for each area.
The Urban Core Areas (UCA) include the Global City, BHIT Park area (net of the socialized
housing area per EO 70), 25-hectare municipal property beside the BHIT, properties east of
the Main Spine Road and Commando Link Road including the DMCI Mixed-Use Project, and
the FTI Complex. UCAs are intended for compact and planned unit developments that
provide for the convenient proximity between workplace, home and amenities. Publicly
accessible and functional open spaces among individual developments shall be required in
these areas. Their physical and functional linkages with “Old Taguig” shall be strengthened
through the provision of world-class infrastructure facilities such as roads, water, power and
telecommunication facilities.
-5-
Areas classified as General Residential Development Area – 1 (GRDA - 1) are neighborhood –

type communities that are evenly distributed throughout the municipality. These are mainly
characterized by high- density mixed – use neighborhoods that are closely compacted and
pre – dominated by residences and small- scale neighborhood service establishments and
community facilities. Future development potentials in most parts of the GDA are limited
due to the existence of heavily built-up areas and the presence of very narrow roads. The
intent for GRDA – 1 is to upgrade its overall urban environment through urban renewal
programs particularly the upgrading of public parks, streets, lighting, sidewalks, and utilities.
Particular attention shall be given to the development and maintenance of high-quality
residential neighborhoods. Neighborhood scale commercial and institutional facilities along
with medium-intensity developments such as multiple-dwelling units, townhouses and the
like shall be encouraged.
General Residential Development Area – 2 (GRDA - 2) includes the area presently occupied
by the Bonifacio Naval Station, Marines Corps, Navy Officers Village, Philippine Army (PA)
Support Command. PA Dental Dispensary and JUSMAG. This area is being earmarked for re-
development as a master-planned medium density residential area. It shall complement the
predominantly the increasing demands for residential spaces in the municipality.
The Low Density Residential Development Area (LDRDA) is located in the AFPOVAI housing
areas in Western Bicutan, Bay Breeze and Holy Family Subdivision. These are established
low-density residential area hosting officers and other members of the Armed Forced of the
Philippines as well as existing residential subdivisions. The LDRDA shall be maintained as a
low-density residential area.
The Socialized Housing Areas (SHA) are located in portions of Calzada, Napindan, Ibayo
Tipas, Ligid Tipas, Bagong Tanyag, Western Bicutan, Signal Village and Palingon. The SHA in
Palingon is located in a still undeveloped area. On the other hand, undeveloped areas at the
back of the residential and neighborhood facilities along the Maestrang Pinang Road may be
found in the Ibayo Tipas SHA. It also includes areas covered by EO 70 specifically a portion of
the Bonifacio Housing and Information Technology Zone, Lupang Katuparan, Pamayanang
Diego Silang and Philippine Centennial Village.
The Institutional Area (IA) includes the designated institutional site in the Global City. Along
the East Service Road, it includes the facilities of the Technological Education Skills &
Development Authority (TESDA); Nutrition Center of the Philippines, Population Center
Foundation and the Technological University of the Philippines. Along General Santos
Avenue, it includes the properties of the Department of Public Works and Highway, National
Science and Technology Authority and NRPC as well as Camp Bagong Diwa. The IAs shall be
maintained and developed for institutional purposes.
The Tourism Development Area (TDA) is located east of Manuel L. Quezon Avenue and Road
Dike from the Muntinlupa boundary up to M. De Leon Street. It also includes portions of
Laguna Lake within the jurisdiction of Taguig. TDAs are characterized by their orientation to
the Lake thus possessing high amenity values. TDAs shall be developed as low intensity
development areas with close consideration towards enhancing lake-oriented tourism
activities. Environmental conservation and preservation shall guide all developments in
these areas. Developments shall be required to provide and maintain public visual and/or
physical access to the lake. Building and site development design restrictions on new
developments shall be implemented to ensure minimal obstructions to the lake. The
development of public facilities that can provide access to the lake shall be encouraged.
-6-
The Light Industrial Areas (LIA) include the BCDA Information Technology (IT) Park, existing
industrial areas in Napindan, pportions of Ibayo Napindan, portions of Ibayo Tipas, portions
of FTI, Veterans, RSBS Industrial Estate (IE) and the Mañalac IE. Light industrial
establishments and information technology-based facilities shall be encouraged in
the LIA. The maintenance of adequate environmental management measures in all industrial
facilities shall be ensured
The Entertainment Area is a one-hectare municipal – owned property located in Barangay

Ususan. This area shall host “Pink Light” establishments such as videoke bars, day & night
clubs and massage parlors. Structures shall be made of permanent materials. Particular
attention shall be given to noise attenuation designs as well as the provision of adequate
parking spaces.
The Military Area (MA) includes the Armed Forces of the Philippines’ retention area within
Fort Bonifacio and shall be for the exclusive use of the AFP.
Open Space Area (OSA) include the American Memorial, Libingan ng mga Bayani, Heritage
Park and Philippine Navy Golf Club and a 20-meter strip to the west of C-5 from the East
Service Road to the Libingan ng mga Bayani. These also include the mandated 10- meter
easement along Pasig River and its tributaries as mandated by Metro Manila Development
Authority Ordinance No. 81-01 and the easement provisions of the Philippine Water Code.
The OSA shall be maintained as functional open spaces with proper landscaping and park
amenities and facilities.
There are also designated Special Development Areas (SDA) in order to achieve specific
objectives of urban planning and management. Within the context of the Land Use Plan,
these areas are governed by more specific policies such as the minimization of roadside
friction along major roads, encouragement of compact developments and historical
redevelopment. Certain requirements for developments within the UCCA are provided to
realize these policies. These requirements are intended to support the policies specified for
the Land Management Area to which individual properties are classified. Four categories of
SDAs are hereby provided.
The Urban Corridor SDA (UCSDA) is defined by all properties that have direct access to C-5
and R-4. The objective for the UCSDA is to minimized roadside friction to alleviate vehicular
traffic conditions along C-5 and R-4. All developments within the UCSDA shall observe the
following: (1) No parking facilities shall be located directly fronting C-5 or R-4 but shall be
located at the back of each building/property; and (2) Abutments of buildings on property
lines along C-5 or R-4 shall be allowed subject to the requirements of the National Building
Code.
The thirteen Local Growth Centers define the Local Growth Center Special Development
Areas (LGCSDA). Properties that will fall under LGCSDA classification are defined as follows:
(1) for intersections, the limits shall be defined as properties having direct access to the
concerned roads that are within 500 meters in all road directions starting from the center
point of the concerned intersection. Properties that are within the edges of the 500 meter
limit shall be considered with the LGCSDA if any portion of their respective boundaries falls
within the said limit; and (2) for specific properties, the limits shall be defined by the
technical description of the boundary of the concerned lot parcel. The objectives for the
LGCSDA are to minimize roadside friction and to encourage compacts developments. All
developments within the LGCSDA shall observe the following: (1) No parking facilities shall
-7-
be located fronting the concerned roads within the LGCSDA but shall be located at the back
of each building/property; (2) Abutments of buildings on property lines along concerned
roads shall be allowed subject to the requirements of the National Building Code; and (3)
Allowed building densities shall be higher in LGCSDAs than in the general Land Management
Area to which specific properties are classified.
The Historical Special Development Area (HSDA) is located in the traditional urban center of
Taguig within the vicinity of the existing Municipal Hall in Tuktukan and the Santa Ana
Church. The objective for the HSDA is to transform these into a historically oriented tourism
area to fully complement the new and modern developments in Taguig thus imbuing the
municipality with a diversity of urban features. The Municipal Government shall draw up a
detailed master historic redevelopment plan for the HSDA that will define the specific
coverage of the area. The master plan will also pursue a development theme, which may be
anchored on an old town concept, with the re-developed municipal hall property and the
Sta. Ana Church as focal points. Building and design guidelines shall be specified to govern
the development of all properties within the HSDA.
`The Fish Port Special Development Area (FPSDA) is located in Barangay Bagumbayan near
the Muntinlupa Boundary. The intent for the FPSDA is for it to have fish landing and support
facilities such as cold storage areas.
3.0 The land Use Guidance System
The LUGS is designed to translate the land use policies into a set of regulations to ensure
that all developments in the Municipality remain aligned to overall community goals and
objectives. It refers to requirements pertaining to development application and operations
to include applicable codes, performance criteria and zone guidelines.
3.1 Statement of Purposes
The following are the purposes of the LUGS:
1. Promote and protect the health, safety, peace, comfort, convenience and general
welfare of the inhabitants of the Municipality;
2. Guide the growth and development of the Municipality in accordance with its
Comprehensive land Use Plan;
3. Provide the proper regulatory environment to minimize opportunities for creativity,
innovation and make ample room for development within the framework of the
Municipality’s over-all goals ND OBJECTIVES;
4. Enhance the character and stability residential, commercial, industrial, institutional,
open space and other functional areas within Municipality and promote the orderly and
beneficial development of the same; and
5. Guide the local government and the private sector in their development decisions.
3.2 Statement Of General Principles
The following general principles guided the formulation of the provisions of the LUGS:
1. The LUGS reflects the Municipality’s vision to be “A highly livable and environmentally
sustainable city, with a globally competitive business environment under the guidance of
an accountable, proactive, strong and competent local leadership with a participative
community.”
-8-
2. The LUGS recognized that any land use is a use by right but provides that the exercise of
such right shall be subject to the review standards of the LUGS.
3. The LUGS gives the free market the maximum opportunity to spur the Municipality’s
development within a framework of environmental integrity and social responsibility.
4. The LUGS has been designed to encourage the evolution of high-quality developments
rather than regulating against the worst type of projects.
5. The LUGS has been crafted in the manner that is fully responsive to the ever-changing
conditions that the Municipality continually face.
6. The LUGS functions as a tool for informed decision making on the part of land use
administrators by way of providing specific criteria to judge the acceptability of
developments.
7. The LUGS provides a direct venue for community empowerment where the stakeholders
become involved especially in critical development decisions.
8. The regulations in the LUGS are considered as land development in order to ensure the
community’s common good.
3.3 Basic Feature
The LUGS is modeled along the lines of a performance-based zoning ordinance. Emphasis is
given to levels of performance that enable individual developments to meet the
Municipality’s land use policies and objectives. It is, however, distinguished from a pure
performance model inasmuch as a broad range of allowed uses per zone is specified.
3.4 Key Elements
The design, development and operations of projects are guided mainly by Key Elements of
the LUGS that include Selectively Mixed land management Zones, General Regulations,
Performance Criteria and Specific Zone Guidelines. These elements are mutually reinforcing
and are applied in the evaluation of proposals and the subsequent monitoring of compliance
of projects during their operations. A Land Management Matrix showing the Policy
Directions and certain guidelines for each zone is shown in Exhibit 1.
3.4.1 Selectively Mixed Land Management Zones
The Municipality of Taguig is divided into eleven Basic Zones, namely:
- Urban Core Zone - Institutional Zone

- General Residential Development Zone – 1 - Tourism Development Zone
- General Residential Development Zone – 2 - Entertainment Zone
- Light Industrial Zone - Military Zone
- Socialized Housing Zone - Open Space Zone
- Low Density Residential Development Zone
There are also four Overlay Zones, namely, Urban Corridor Special Development Zone, Local
Growth Center Special Development Zone, Historical Special Development Zone and Fish
Port Special Development Zone.
The above divisions are for the intentions of the LUGS.
-9-
1. Implementing the Taguig CLUP;

2. Defining specific areas in the Municipality of Taguig, each requiring different standards
of development to meet different circumstance present within each zone; and
3. Serving the purpose and intentions of the LUGS.
The provisions contained in the LUGS anticipate the likelihood and desirability of mixing
land uses. Unlike conventional zones, which segregated various land uses, the LUGS allows
selectively mixed uses and places emphasis on minimizing or buffering any nuisance factors
between such uses. Further provisions impose criteria to resolve any possible problems and
eliminate what might be negative impacts when unlike uses are located in proximity. Zones
are distinguished according to allowed uses and land use intensities, which are discussed in
Article VII Specific Zone Guidelines.
Development proposals shall be assessed according to the following outline themes for
each Land Management Zone:
Basic Zones
a. Urban Core Zone
The UCZ is intended for compact and planned unit developments that provide for the
convenient proximity between workplace, home and amenities. Publicly accessible and
functional open spaces are required for all developments.
b. General Residential Development Zone – 1
The GRDZ is intended for the development and maintenance of high-quality residential
neighborhoods with the supporting commercial and institutional facilities. Medium-
intensity developments such as multiple-dwelling units, townhouses and the like shall be
encouraged.
c. General Residential Development Zone – 2
This zone is being earmarked for re-development as a master-planned medium density

residential area. It shall complement the predominantly commercial and business
developments in the Global City by accommodating the increasing demands for residential
spaces in the municipality.

developments.
c. Historical Special Development Zone
The intent for the HSDZ is to transform these into a historically-oriented tourism area.
-11-
d. Fish Port Special Development Zone
The intent for the FPSDZ is for it to have fish landing and support facilities such as cold
storage areas.
3.4.2 General Regulations

Article V cites regulations that are applicable to all developments in the Municipality. It
provides that all developments, whether new or renovation, are required to secure a
Locational Clearance (LC) which is pre-requisite to the granting of a Building Permit by the
Office of the Building Official.
For purposes of evaluation, Article V also provides that development proposals shall be
classified according to the following:
 General Residential Uses ● General Institutional Uses

 Socialized Housing Uses ● Agricultural Uses
 General Commercial Uses ● Parks and Recreation Uses
 Light Industrial Uses ● Eco-Tourism Uses
The zonal location of an application shall be determined and the proposed use shall be
categorized under any of the applicable classification indicated above.
Several referral laws and codes are also cited in Article V. these include the following:
- National Building Code (PD 1096)

- Urban Development and Housing Act (RA 7279)
- Subdivision and Condominium Buyers’ Proactive law (PD 957)
- Promulgation of Different Levels of Standards and Technical Requirements for Economic
and Socialized Housing Projects (BP 220)
- Water Code of the Philippines (PD 1067)
- Environmental Impact Assessment System (PD 1589)
Other legal issuances pertaining to land use and development shall also be observed by
project proponents.
Certain provisions of Article V are hereby highlighted:
Section 13. Provisions of the National Building Code
Particular provisions of the LUGS in relation to the National Building Code (NBC) are
classified as follows:
 Percentage of Land Occupancy
-12-
Article VII of the LUGS requires developments in certain zones to observe a Percentage of
land Occupancy (PLO). PLO is defined in the LUGS as a percentage of the maximum allowable
floor area of any building (at any floor level excluding basements) to the total lot size. This
includes the main and auxiliary buildings. The LUGS further provides that in case of
discrepancy between the specified PLO in the LUGS and the Light and Ventilation provisions
of the National Building Code, the leaser allowable floor area shall prevail.
The above provisions of the LUGS are intended to enhance Section 2 of Rule XVI of the NBC’s
IRR which provides the required Measurement and Percentage of Site Occupancy for
individual developments. These minimum requirements are categorized according to the
NBC’s type of occupancy grouping. This section of the NBC provides that Group A residential
buildings in R-1 zones (as defined by the NBC) shall follow the minimum yard standards in
sub-section 3.2 of the same Rule to comply with the open space requirements. The
minimum allowed percentage of site occupancy shall be measured at the ground level. The
private open space requirements of the NBC are as follows:
Table 1. Private Open Space Requirements

Type of Lot Percent of Open Space
A&B All Others
(Residential)
Interior Lot (located in the interior of a block or made 50% 25%
accessible from a public street or alley by means of
private road)
Inside Lot (non-concern or single frontage lot) 20% 15%
Corner and/or Through Lot 10% 5%
Lots bounded on 3 or more sides by public open spaces 5% 5%
such as streets, alleys, easement of seashores, rivers,
esteros, etc.
Source: National Building Code
The PLO requirements are presented in the following table:

Table 2. Percentage of Land Occupancy
Zone Percentage of Land Occupancy
Urban Core Zone Per the requirements of the NBC and
related laws and/or duly approved IDCs
General Residential Development Zone I 75%
General Residential Development Zone II 80%
Low Density Residential Development Zone 70%
Socialized Housing Zone Per the requirements of BP 220 and CMP
Institutional Zone 75%
Tourism Development Zone 70%
Entertainment Zone 70%
Light Industrial Zone 70%
Military Zone Per the requirements of the NBC and
Related laws and/or the AFP
Open Space Zone Per the requirements of the NBC and
-13-
Related laws and/or duly approved IDCs

Source: LUGS
It should be noted that the PLO of the LUGS is applied at any level (except basements) while
the Private Open Space Requirements of the NBC pertains to ground level only. The LUGS
further provides that PLO requirements apply to main and auxiliary buildings. Thus, the PLO
shall be computed based on the horizontal dimensions of buildings (considering all buildings
in the property) on s level-by-level basis.
To facilitate the comparison of the LUGS and NBC requirements, the latter may be
converted into ground level PLO, as follows:
Table 3. NBC-Ground Level PLO

Type of Lot Percent of Open Space
A&B All Others
(Residential)
Interior Lot (located in the interior of a block or made 50% 75%
accessible from a public street or alley by means of
private road)
Inside Lot (non-concern or single frontage lot) 80% 85%
Corner and/or Through Lot 90% 95%
Lots bounded on 3 or more sides by public open spaces 95% 95%
such as streets, alleys, easement of seashores, rivers,
esteros, etc.
For instance, interior lots for residential developments in LDRDZ are required to provide 50
percent open space (equivalent to 50% ground level PLO) by the NBC while the LUGS call for
a 70 percent PLO. The applicable PLO shall hence be 50 percent but to be applied at all levels
(except basements), as provided in the LUGS. Conversely, inside lots for residential
developments in LDRDZ are required by the NBC to provide 20 percent open space
(equivalent to 80% ground level PLO) while the LUGS specifies a minimum PLO of 70 percent
(30% open space). The applicable PLO shall hence be 70 percent to be applied at all levels of
the development (except basement).
In zones where there are no PLO requirements, such as UCZ, SHZ, MZ and OSZ, NBC
regulations entirely apply.
 Height Regulations
Height regulations shall be checked for compliance with the provisions of Article VII of the
LUGS.
Generally, the requirements of Rule XVIII of the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of
the NBC are observed. Specific reference is however, made to sub-section 2.4.5 of Rule XVIII
which states that one of the considerations in the height of buildings/structures is the
-14-
“provision of land use plans and zoning ordinances.” Article VII of the LUGS provides the
following Building Height Limits:
Table 4. Building Height Limits
Zone Building Height Limits

Urban Core Zone Per the requirements of the NBC and
related laws and/or duly approved IDCs

Institutional Zone 4 floors
Tourism Development Zone 4 floors

Open Space Zone Per the requirements of the NBC and
Related laws and/or duly approved IDCs
Source: LUGS
In cases where no height limits are prescribed by the LUGS, such as in the UCZ, SHZ, MZ and
OSZ, the requirements of the NBC and related laws and/or duly approved IDCs. For zones
with height limits, these shall exclude basements and mezzanines. In any zone, all buildings
shall observe the height clearance requirements of the Air Transportation Office (ATO).
 Yards
The Yards provision shall be referred to the Office of the Building Official for
implementation. The provisions of Rule XVI Light and Ventilation of the IRR of the NBC are
hereby considered in Section 12 of the LUGS as follows:
- For residential buildings, the yard requirements shall be construed as equivalent to

those in R-2 and R-3 zones, as provided by PD 1096, unless specified in the deeds or
restriction of established and proposed subdivisions.
The residential yard requirements under sub-section 3.2a of Rule XVI are presented in
the following table:
-15-
Table 5. Yards for Residential Buildings

Yard Zone
R-1 R-2 R-3
Front 5.00 see abutments see abutments
Side 2.00 -do- -do-
Rear 2.00 -do- -do-
Rule XVI of the NBC also provides that abutments on the front, side and rear property lines
may be allowed provided that the following requirements shall be compiled with:
1. Open space as prescribes in table 1 (see Rule XVI Section 2 of the NBC);
2. Window opening as prescribed in Section 7 of Rule XVI of the NBC; and
3. Firewall with a minimum of one-hour fire resistive rating constructed with a minimum
height clearance of 1.00 meter above the roof.
Relative to properties with abutments, Rule XVI further provides that the “required open
space shall be located totally or distributed anywhere within the lot in a manner as to
provide maximum light and ventilation into the building.”
Within the context of the LUGS, specific types of residential buildings are classified under
General Residential, Socialized Housing or Agricultural Uses. Thus, unless specified in the
deeds of restriction of existing and proposed subdivisions, the yard requirements for R-2
and R-3 zones, as defined in the NBC, shall apply to all types of residential applications. The
same also holds true for individual developments outside of subdivisions or any proposal
without deeds of restriction. The following NBC definitions shall guide the provision of
yards for residential buildings:
R-1 means Low-Density Residential Zone, characterized by single-family, single-detached

dwelling with the usual community ancillary uses on a neighborhood scale, such as
exclusive subdivisions and relatively exclusive residential communities which are not
subdivisions.
R-2 means Medium-Density Residential Zone, characterized mainly by medium-density

housing like low and medium-rise, multiple family dwellings on a limited scale and the usual
community ancillary uses on a barangay scale, such as semi-exclusive subdivisions and
semi-exclusive residential communities which are not subdivisions.
R-3 means High-Density Residential Zone, characterized by a very mixed housing type and
high density housing, like high-rise buildings with more than usual community ancillary uses
increasingly commercial in scale.
For commercial, industrial, institutional and recreational buildings, the yard requirements
specified in PD 1096 shall be observed.
Specific types of these buildings fall under the General Commercial, Light Industrial,
General Institutional and Parks and Recreation Use classifications of the LUGS. The yard
-16-
requirements for the above-cited uses are indicated in sub-section 3.2b of Rule XVI of the
NBC as follows:
Table 6. Yards for Commercial, Industrial, Institutional and Recreational Building
Road Right-of-Way Front Side Rear

30 meters & above 10 m 3m 3m
25-29 meters 8m 3m 3m
Below 10 meters 2m 2m 2m
It should be noted that Rule XVI further provides the following:
“The yard requirements (above) are for newly developed thoroughfares. For highly built-up
urban areas with duly established lines and grades reflecting therein proposed road
widening and elevation, the requirements in the (above) may not imposed and the building
may abut in the front, side and rear property lines provided that the requirements on open
space, window opening, artificial ventilation, if any, and firewalls are complied with.”
It should also be noted that the minimum widths of courts and yards shall be per the
requirements of the NBC provided that the applicable aggregate open space shall be not less
than percentage required.
Section 13. Subdivision, Condominiums, Economic and Socialized Housing
 Referral Laws
The provisions of the following shall govern subdivisions, condominiums and economic and
socialized housing projects:
- PD 957, “Subdivision and Condominium Buyers’ Protective Law” and its revised implementing
rules and regulations;
- Batas Pambansa 220, “Promulgation of Different Levels of Standards and Technical
Requirements for Economic and Socialized Housing Projects: and its revised implementing
rules and regulations;
- RA 7279, “Urban Development and Housing Act;” and
- Other pertinent government rules and regulations.
 Land Use Intensity Controls
The Land Use Intensity Control (LUIC) provisions of the LUGS enhance the open Space Requirements
of PD 957 and BP 220. Aside from ensuring the availability of ground-level open space through the
PLO, the other components of the LUIC guides the design of building bulk (FAR), building height
-17-
(BHL), impervious surfaces (AISAR) and permeable surfaces (MPSAR). These other elements of the
LUIC are defined as follows:
- Floor/Area Ratio (FAR) - is the ration between the Gross Floor Area of a building and the area
of the lot on which it stands. It is determined by dividing the Gross Floor Area of the building
and the area of the area of the lot. The Gross Floor Area of any building should not exceed
the prescribed FAR multiplied by the lot area.
- Building Height Limit (BHL) – the maximum height allowed for structures of buildings
expressed as number of floors.
- Allowable Impervious Surface Area Ratio (AISAR) – the ratio between the coverage of ground
level impervious surfaces to the total lot area. This is expressed as a percentage over and
above the resultant PLO for each development. The computation of impervious surface area
coverage shall include spaces outside the building envelope, such as driveways, walks,
parking areas, etc. (ground level PLO plus impervious areas outside the building envelope).
- Minimum Allowable Permeable Surface Area (MAPSA) – the minimum allowable area that
should be provided with permeable surfaces. This is equal to the difference of the total lot
area minus the resultant PLO and AISAR.
The LUIC is imposed to control, among others, traffic generation, requirements on utilities, over-
building, over-crowding and visual access. LUICs are also required to enable individual developments
to attain the desired zone character.
In relating the LUIC to the provisions of PD 957 and BP 220, the following shall be observed:
- The LUIC applies to individual lot parcels of subdivisions

- Gross open spaces (defined as common areas, roads, etc.) shall be governed by the
requirements of PD 957, BP 220 and related regulations.
Section 15. Development Permit
The Sangguniang Bayan is the approving body for projects that are within the scopes of PD 957 and
BP 220. These projects are required to first secure a Preliminary Approval and Locational Clearance
(PALC) from the SB before applying for a Development Permit.
Section 16. Easements
Applications shall be checked by the MZO for compliance with public easement requirements per
the following:
1. Pursuant to the provisions of the Water Code of the Philippines (PD 1067), the banks of
rivers and streams and the shores of lakes throughout their entire length are subject to a
three-meter easement of public use in the interest of recreation, navigation, floatage, fishing
and salvage.
-18-
No person shall be allowed to stay in this zone longer than what is necessary for space or
recreation, navigation, floatage, fishing or salvage or to build structures of any kind.
2. The ten-meter easement along the banks of the Pasig River and its tributaries shall be
observed, in conformance to Article IX Section 1 of Metro Manila Zoning Ordinance 81-01
and MMDA Resolution No. 3, Series of 1993.
3. A five-meter easement on both sides of earthquake fault traces on the ground identified by
PHILVOLS shall be observed.
4. Public street rights-of-way. No encroachment to nor any temporary or permanent structures

shall be constructed in public street rights-of-way, such as sidewalks and carriageways,
without the proper permit form concerned government offices. (See Appendix B)
Section 17. Environmental Compliance Certificate
For projects that are within the scope of the Philippine Environmental Impact Assessment System,
an ECC should first be secured prior to applying for a Locational Clearance.
Application Related to HLURB
The Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB) is responsible for the processing and
issuance of a Zoning Decision for projects that are declared by the national Economic and
Development Authority (NEDA) as Projects of National Significance.
The Zoning Administrator may also request the HLURB to review and give its
recommendations on certain projects on the ground Innovative Techniques before issuing its
Zoning Decision.
3.4.3 Performance Criteria
Performance Criteria (Article VI) are intended to ensure land use and neighborhood
compatibility. Performance Criteria meet Specific Policies, as follows:
Table 7. Performance Criteria and Specific Policies

All proposals shall exhibit compliance to all applicable performance criteria. Failure to comply
with any one of the applicable criteria is a ground for the denial of the application for LC.
3.4.4 Specific Zone Guidelines
The application of Article VII Specific Zone Guidelines shall be made with specific reference
to the General Regulations (Article V), Performance Criteria (Article VI) and the Zoning Maps
as set out in the LUGS. While the provisions of Article V and VI are unique for each zone.
Basic Zones
 Allowed Uses
As indicated in the General Regulations, proposals are classified according to eight General
Land Use Classification (GLUC). According to zone, these are as follows:
Table 8. Allowable General Land Use Classification per Zone

Land Management Zone Allowed General Land Use Classification
Urban Core Zone General Residential Uses
General Commercial Uses

Entertainment Zone General Commercial Uses
Light Industrial Zone Light Industrial Uses
Military Zone Per the Armed Forces of the Philippines
Open Space Zone Per the guidelines of the Libingan ng mga Bayani,
American Memorial, Heritage Park and PAF Golf
-20-
Club
Under each general classification is a list of Specifically Allowed Land Uses (SALU). For
example, detached family and multi-family dwellings are found under General Residential
Uses. It should also be noted that the SALU may vary from zone to zone even if the GLUC is
similar. This may be illustrated in the case of regional shopping centers that are classified
under GCU in UCZ but is not included in GCU under GRDZ. These are zonal refinements of
the Lugs that consider the development limitations present in certain areas in the
municipality.
The LUIC is applied as follows:
1. Maximum Allowable Building Area Per Floor in Square Meters = Lot Area x Allowable
PLO
2. Maximum Allowable Gross Floor Area in Square Meters = Lot Area x Allowable Far
3. In determining the maximum number of floors per building, BHL regulations shall apply .
For Planned Unit Development (PUD) schemes, residential subdivisions and the like, the LUIC
shall apply to individual lot parcels.
For a parcel of land that has no lot/parcellary subdivisions, the LUIC shall apply to the gross
area of the parcel and the gross floor area of the buildings to be put there. In the event that
such a parcel of land is developed into individual lots as part of a planned unit/mixed use
development, residential or commercial subdivision, LUIC shall apply as follow:
4. The FAR of all the individual lots in the PUD, derived by dividing the total gross floor area
of the individual buildings in the PUD by their total gross land area, shall not exceed the
maximum FAR that applies to the entire PUD as prescribed in the LUGS. In equation form
Total gross floor areas of

_Individual buildings in PUD_ ≤ Maximum FAR of entire PUD
Total gross land area of
Individual lots in PUD
5. No individual lot shall exceed a FAR that is three times the maximum FAR that applies to
the entire PUD.
6. The owner/developer of the subdivided PUD shall show and declared in the
7. development plan that it submits to the MZO that such subdivision is part of a PUD
development.
8. PLO, BHL, AISAR and MPSAR controls shall apply to the PUD.
The LUIC per zone is shown in the following table

Aside from the outline themes and the list of allowed uses, LMZs are further distinguished according
to the allowed LUIC .Thus, LUIC rating are most liberal in growth areas to encourage large-scale and
high-intensity development. Conversely, LUIC ratings are most stringent in the LDRDZ and TDZ due
to the need to maintain low densities thereat. Figure 1 illustrates the effect of the simultaneous

3.5 How to find out applicable controls on specific parcels
The provisions of the LUGS are applicable to all parcels of land within Taguig except for
Article VII Specific Zone Guidelines, which are unique to the particular zone in consideration.
Per Article IV zone Classification, the following shall be used to determined the zone
boundaries:
1. Where zone boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow the center of
streets or highway, the street or highway right-of –way lines shall be construed to be the
boundaries.
2. Where zone boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow barangay
boundary lines, the delineation shall be based on those indicated in the cadastral maps.
3. Where zone boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to the
centerlines or right-of-way lines of streets and highways, such zone
boundaries shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at such distance therefore as
indicated in the Official Zoning Map. If no distance is given, such dimension shall be
determined by the use of the scale shown in the said zoning map.
-26-
4. Where the boundary of a zone follows a stream, lake or other bodies of water said
boundary line should be deemed to be at the limit of the political jurisdiction of the
municipality unless otherwise indicated. Boundaries indicated as following shorelines
shall be construed to follows such shorelines and in the event of change in the
shorelines, shall be construed as moving with the actual shorelines. Boundaries
following bodies of water shall be subject to public easement requirement as provided
in the Water Code, in the provision of the LUGS and with other applicable regulations.
5. Where zone boundary line divides a lot, the shall be construed to be within the zone
where its major portion is located. In case the boundary line bisects the lot, it shall fall in
the zone where the principal structure falls.
6. Where zone boundaries are said to be as indicated in the Official Zoning Map, the
location of the parcel in consideration shall be determined by overlay the cadastral map
to the former.
7. The mapped location of the property in consideration shall prevail over that of the
textual description.
Landowners may secure their respective Certificates of Zoning Classification (Exhibit 2) from
the MZO to determine the applicable provision of the LUGS with respect to their properties.
3.6 Mitigating Devices
Article VIII of the LUGS provides a means wherein a decision by the Zoning Administration
may be appealed to the Local Zoning Board of Adjustment and Appeals (LZBAA) for
consideration. These are termed Deviation that are of two types:
● Variance- a device which grants a property owner relief from certain provision of the
LUGS where, because of the particular physical surrounding, shape or topographical
condition of the property, compliance on height, area, setback, bulk and/or density
would result in a particular hardship upon the owner.
● Exception – a device which grants a property owner relief from certain provision of
the LUGS where because of the specific use would result in a particular hardship
upon the owner.
Deviation may occur in the following cases:
Table 13. Deviation

Types Nature
Variance The inherent physical character of the proposed project’s site

precludes compliance with certain dimensional requirements
and/or performance criteria of the LUGS
Exception The nature of the use of the proposed project will preclude
compliance with certain dimensional requirements,
performance criteria and/or allowed use provision of the LUGS
-27-
Appeals for Variance shall be evaluated on four additional criteria, over and above the other
applicable provision of the LUGS. In cases of appeals for Exception, it may be reviewed
considering six additional conditions, whenever necessary, to ensure land use and
neighborhood compatibility.
It should be noted that Article VIII is invoked as an appeal for consideration. Direct
application to the LZBAA for Variance or Exception without passing through the review
process of the Zoning Administration are not allowed.
3.7 Other Salient Provision of the LUGS
3.7.1 Existing Non-Conforming Uses and Buildings
Properties and building that exist at the time of the passage of the LUGS may be determined
to be non-conforming to portion or all of the provisions of the following:
- Non-conforming under Article V General Regulations

- Non-conforming under Article VI Performance Criteria
- Non- conforming under Article VII Specific Zone Guidelines
The Zoning Administrator shall notify owners of existing non-conforming uses and building.
Within fifteen days upon the receipts of respective notices, these owners are required to
apply for respective Certificates of Non-Conformance from the MZO. The Certificate of Non-
Conformance is shown as Exhibit.
The Certificate of Non-Conformance does not in any way penalize the owner of the existing
non-conforming use. It is use for records purposes in order to facilitate the processing of
future applications for LC of the subject property.
3.7.2 Existing Residential/Commercial Subdivisions and Condominiums
The Zoning Administration shall developers/home owners association of

residential/commercial subdivisions and condominiums existing at the time of the passage
of the LUGS to submit design guidelines, deeds of restriction, property management plans
and other regulatory tools that will ensure high quality development for the review and
approval of the MZO. For the purpose of these Guidelines, these documents shall be
collectively called Internal Development Controls (IDC).
This addresses the concern that residential/commercial subdivision and condominiums may
be encroached upon by unwanted developments due to the mixed-use nature of the LUGS.
This provision of property owners remain protected.
3.7.3 Phasing-out of Temporary Use Permits
Temporary Use Permits (TUPs) shall no longer be renewed nor issued upon the effectively of
the LUGS. All grantees of TUPs that are in effect at the time of the passage f the LUGS are
required to apply for LC or Certificate of Non-Conformance on or before the expiration of
the said TUP.

project proponent whose application was denied by the Zoning Administrator or by an entity
or firm other than the applicant who objects to the zoning decision. In the first case, the
evaluation procedure shall be according to Article VIII of the LUGS with the Zoning
Administrator performing a recommendatory role (section 52). In the second case, the
LZBAA shall convene to hear and decide on the appeal after the complainant has produce
the case against the project proponent and/or the Zoning Administrator. The decision of the
LZBAA may, in turn, be appealed to the Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB)
within a period of 90 days from the issuance of the same.
Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board
When the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) declares Projects of
National Significance, the LC shall be processed and issued by the HLURB.
3.8.2 Actions on Applications
There are three types of zoning decisions, as follows:
Locational Clearance Granted
The Zoning Administrator shall grant an LC if the application complies with all thee
applicable provisions of the LUGS.
Special Locational Clearance Granted
A Special LC is issued by the LZBAA if a favorable decision on an appeal that invokes Article
VIII Mitigating Devices is reached.
Locational Clearance Denied
Applications that do not comply with any of the applicable provisions of the LUGS or those
that fail to meet the criteria of the LZBAA shall be denied an LC. This is issued by the DZA or
LZBAA, as the case may be.
3.8.3 Validity of Granted LC and Special LC
Granted LC and Special LC are valid within one year upon the date issuance. A grantee’s
failure to commence or undertake the use, activity or development covered by such
clearance on the property within the said period shall result in its automatic expiration and
cancellation. Thereby, the applicant will have to reapply and pay the corresponding fees.
3.8.4 Amendments to the LUGS
-30-
The LUGS is subject to the review of the Local Zoning Review Committee (LZRC). The review
shall be undertaken on a need basis according to four situations cited in the LUGS, as
follows:
1. Change in local development plans;

2. Introduction of projects of national significance;
3. Petition for rezoning; and
4. Other reasons which are appropriate for consideration.
The LZRC shall forward its recommendations to the Sangguniang Bayan. Any amendments
to the LUGS or the provisions thereof shall be subject to public hearing and shall be carried
out though a resolution.
4.0 Approvals Process
All applications shall exhibit conformity to all the applicable provisions of Article V General
Regulations, Article VI Performance Standards and Article VII Specific Zone Guidelines. With
some proposals, the Zoning Administrator reserves the right to require additional provisions,
to seek the opinion of other government agencies or recognized professionals, or request a
conference with the applicant before making a decision.
4.1 Preliminary Procedures
The Approvals Process takes off with scoping activities in order to determine, at an early
stage, the evaluation procedures to be employed as well as the documents that will be
submitted by the applicant. The Preliminary Procedures flow chart is presented as Exhibit 4.
4.1.1 Initial Conference
The Initial Conference with the Zoning Administrator is a venue to thresh out zoning issues
at an early stage and is ideally done at the schematic design phase of the project. The
conference is optional but highly requirements depend on the nature of the proposal and its
location.
This conference will enable the applicant to:
- Be informed of the documents to be submitted

- Be made aware of the applicable Evaluation Procedure
