PARKING

The document discusses parking slot, parking area, and loading/unloading space requirements. It provides the minimum sizes for different types of vehicle parking slots. It also allows for off-site parking facilities within certain distances of residential and commercial buildings. Direct access from parking areas to the right-of-way is generally disallowed. Certain commercial buildings must be located near major intersections. Front yards cannot be used for long-term parking for certain occupancies. Up to 50% of the front yard can be paved for carports for some single-family dwellings. The document also discusses abutments and firewalls between structures.

PARKING

Parking Slot, Parking Area, and Loading/Unloading Space Requirements


a. The parking slot, parking area, and loading/unloading space requirements listed hereafter are
generally the minimum off-street cum on-site requirements for specific uses/occupancies for
buildings/structures, i.e., all to be located outside of the road right-of-way
(RROW).
b. The size of an average automobile (car) parking slot must be computed at 2.50 meters by
5.00 meters for perpendicular or diagonal parking and at 2.15 meters by 6.00 meters for parallel
parking.

 A standard truck or bus parking/loading slot must be computed at a minimum of 3.60


meters by 12.00 meters.
 An articulated truck slot must be computed at a minimum of 3.60 meters by 18.00
meters, sufficient to accommodate a 12.00 meters container or bulk carrier and a
long/hooded prime mover.
 A jeepney or shuttle parking/loading/unloading slot must be computed at a minimum of
3.00 meters by 9.00 meters. The parking slots shall be drawn to scale and the total
number of which shall be indicated on the plans and specified whether or not parking
accommodations are attendant-managed.
Allowed Off-RROW /Off-Street cum Off-Site Parking Provision:
i. In addition to on-site cutoff-RROW (off-street) parking provisions mandated under this Rule,
off-site cum off-street parking facilities may be allowed and considered part of a project provided
that such facilities specifically consist of reserved or leased parking slots within a permanent
parking building /structure and not in a vacant parking lot or structure/space for commercial
development and provided further that such parking slots are located no more than 100.00
meters away from a residential building project or located no more than 200.00 meters away
from an office or commercial building project
ii. Direct access of parking/loading/utility slots and terminals to the RROW shall be generally
disallowed to prevent the usage of the RROW as a maneuvering area.
iii. Traffic-generating buildings such as shopping malls or similar facilities that have very high
volumes of pedestrian and vehicular traffic may be located at major intersections or within 100
meters of such intersections, provided that the distance between the street curb of the
ingress/egress of such a commercial lot/property (nearest the intersection) and the straight curb
of the intersection shall not be less than 50.00 meters. (Fig. VII.9.)

iv. For R-2, R-3, GI, C, C-2 And C-3 uses or occupancies, front yards abutting RROW are not to
be used for long-term off-street parking. Due to the very public nature of these uses(high
vehicular and pedestrian concentrations), the front yard (a transition space between the RROW
and the building/structure) shall be used exclusively for driveways, off-RROWloading spaces,
short-term off-RROW parking and landscaping (hardscape and softscape) treatment.
Temporary or short-term off-street parking, particularly on driveways, shall preferably be only for
visitors to these buildings/structures.v.

v. For basic R-2 and Basic R-3 uses or occupancies (for single-family dwelling units only),up to
50% of the front yard abutting the RROW may be paved/hardscaped, i.e., converted into a
courtyard for carport use. Such use shall not be permitted in all other uses or occupancies
ABUTMENT – A form of a semi-permanent or permanent structure constructed along a property
line, usually of masonry or reinforced concrete or other fire-rated material.
A firewall defined in Rule VII is a form of abutment where absolutely no form of permitted
opening, whether temporary/permanent or operable/inoperable is allowed on it. A vent well with
a clear width of one (1.00) m is the only permitted opening in an abutment or firewall.

FIREWALL
Reinforced masonry or RC separator w/
appropriate fire-resistive rating and
positioned between dwellings/
buildings/structures; No openings;
Cannot be shared.

Abutments for Basic Uses/Occupancies


forming part of new developments shall be basically similar to the restrictions prescribed for
firewalls under Rule VII, to wit:
i. Absolutely no abutments are allowed at any property line for any R-1 lot
type/location.

ii. ii. Abutments shall be allowed on only one (1) side for any R-2 lot type/location.
There shall be no firewalls/abutments on the front and rear property lines for any R-2
lot type/location.

iii. Abutments shall be allowed on two (2) sides only or on one (1) side and the rear
property line/ boundary for any R-3 lot type/location. There shall be no abutments on
the front property line for any R-3 lot type/location.

iv. Abutments shall be allowed on two (2) sides only for any R-4 lot type/location. There
shall be no firewalls/abutments on the front and rear property line for any R-4 lot
type/location.

v. v. Abutments shall be allowed on two (2) sides only or on one (1) side and the rear
property line/boundary for any R-5 lot type/location. There shall be no abutments on
the front property line for any R-5 lot type/location.
vi. vi. Abutments shall be allowed on two (2) sides only or on one (1) side and the rear
property line/boundary for any C-3 lot type/location. There shall be no abutments on
the front property line for any C-3 lot type/location.
