PSO max
1. AMBF
Setback min

2. PSO = AMBF / TLA

ISA max
3. TOSL

TOSL = ISA + USA
DEVELOPMENTAL CONTROLS

4. MACA = PSO + ISA

5. FLAR
6. BHL
7. GFA = TLA x FLAR
8. TGFA 1 = Use Table 7.1
= BHL (no. of floors) x % of Lot
TGFA 2 = GFA x multiplier
TGFA 3 = GFA + non GFA – I.S.
 the MORE STRINGENT but applicable
regulation out of the aforementioned
rules shall be observed.
Problem 1:
A client wants to construct in a relatively flat
R1 lot. It is an inside lot with a total area of
301.00 sqm and a frontage of 14.0 facing
south. Find the AMBF, PSO, TOSL (ISA, USA),
MACA by applying setbacks.
Step 1: Compute TLA
Step 2: Apply setbacks, Get AMBF
Step 3: Compute PSO
Step 4: Compute ISA max
Step 5: Compute MACA
Step 6: Compute USA
Problem 2:
A client wants to construct in a relatively flat
Basic – R2 lot. It is a regular lot with 8.00 meters
width and 10 meters depth. A firewall will be
constructed to utilized the area. Find the
AMBF, PSO, TOSL (ISA, USA), MACA.
Step 1: Compute TLA
Step 2: Apply setbacks (Table 8.2)
Step 3: Apply firewall, Get AMBF
Step 4: Compute PSO
Step 5: Compute MACA
Step 6: Compute USA
Problem 3:
A development company has decided that its
property located in the better parts of Makati
City with a Total Lot Area of seven thousand
seven hundred eighty-four square meter
(7,784.00 sqm) regular lot zoned as high-density

medium rise apartment building.
Only two types of rentable apartment units
shall be provided – a studio unit with twenty-
two square meter (22.00 sqm) gross floor area
