d. Lot Type/Location Only seven (7) types of lots and their respective locations are described under this
Rule. (Figures VIII.2. through VIII.8.)
e. Variance
When the lots as described in Figures VIII.2. through VIII.8. are too narrow or too shallow such that the
public open space, e.g., RROW, alley or the like on which they abut can adequately supply light and
ventilation to every room therein subject to the requirements on window opening, the requirements on the
minimum Total Open Space within Lot (TOSL) above may be waived (Figures VIII.9. through VIII.11.),
provided however, that for lots abutting on only one (1) public open space, the depth of the open space to
be provided shall not be more than 8.00 meters; and for those lots abutting two (2) or more public open
spaces, the depth of the open space to be provided shall not be more than 12.00 meters.
