1-8. RESIDENTIAL (High- Density Residential)

A Proposed Medium –Rise Apartment Building Project is a development with a Basement component and on a Project Site having an Eight Percent (8.0%) Slope towards the main RROW.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM:

A Private Development Company ( the “Developer”) has decided that its newly acquired property with a Total Lot Area (TLA) of eight thousand square meters ( 8,000sqm) shall be developed to host a medium-rise apartment building ( the “Project”). The Project is located in an Urban Area, HighDensity (Division B-1) Maximum R-3. The dwelling units shall be of two types: (1st) Studio-type with a Gross Floor Area (GFA) of 22.0 square meters; (2nd) One bedroom Apartment Units with a Gross Floor Area (GFA) of 50.0 sqm.

PROJECT SITE FEATURES:

The Project Site is a rectangular corner lot. The shortest side, measuring eighty meters (80.00m) faces east, and the longer side faces north. The Project Site uniformly slopes at eight percent (8.00%) towards the 14-meter wide main street at the north side, i.e. the road right-of-way (RROW) that is relatively flat ( a a slope of 0%) and which has 2.2 m wide sidewalks at both sides. The east side of the property faces also a similar RROO width and sidewalk. The surface of the sidewalk at the center of the Project Site eastern frontage is considered as elevation 0.0m

For the Project Site, (zoned as Max R-3 under the NBCP), how much is the combined total for the maximum allowable ISA plus the minimum USA ( in square meters)?

Tagaytay is relatively close to the capital city of Manila, only 55 km (34 mi) away via Aguinaldo Highway, providing an easy escape for the locals from the heat of the big city. (Wikipedia) It is also blessed with fine weather, a lush landscape, the appeal of altitude and accessibility to Manila and major entry points. The exact lot of the Proposed Community Clubhouse is at the heart of the 50-hectare exclusive village. The size of the inside lot is about 5% of the total area of the village with a perfect square shape. It is accessible through a 15-meter wide major road and the front is oriented to the south.

Problem Context

The City of Tagaytay is a component city in the province of Cavite. It is one of the country's most popular tourist destinations because of outstanding scenery and cooler climate provided by its high altitude. Tagaytay overlooks Taal Lake in Batangas and provides one of the iconic views of the Philippines, the view of Taal Volcano Island in the middle of the lake, viewable from several vantage points in the city. Tagaytay is relatively close to the capital city of Manila, only 55 km (34 mi) away via Aguinaldo Highway, providing an easy escape for the locals from the heat of the big city. (Wikipedia) It is also blessed with fine weather, a lush landscape, the appeal of altitude and accessibility to Manila and major entry points. The exact lot of the Proposed Community Clubhouse is at the heart of the 50-hectare exclusive village. The size of the inside lot is about 5% of the total area of the village with a perfect square shape. It is accessible through a 15-meter wide major road and the front is oriented to the south. The site is relatively flat with ornamental trees at the rear most part.

B. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM: The client has decided that his property, with a Total Lot Area (TLA) of Five thousand three hundred fifty square meters (5,350 00M2 and located in an urban area, shall serve as a parking building. The buildings should accommodate a total of 450 parking slots. Each level will serve 150 parking slots with a building bulk of 33.00m x 100.00 m.

D. DESIGN OBJECTIVES” A) To maximize the client’s profit for the project proponent. B) To plan/design a building that serve as a landmark in the project area with a sustainable least-cost.

In Project no. 1, given that the sidewalk is considered as elevation 0.00 meters, how much is the elevation difference from the sidewalk to rear tip of the property with a 3% slope?

In project no. 1, what is the range of the Allowable Maximum Building Footprint (AMBF) of the project?
