E. DESIGN PRINCIPLES AND DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES

Implementation of the Land Use Plan shall be guided by the following principles:

1. Shelter for All and Squatter-free City

With the end view of a squatter-free Mandaluyong City, the plan shall adhere to the
mandates of Section 18 of RA 10884 , An Act Strenghtening the Balanced Housing
Development Program, Amending for the Purpose RA No. 7279, as amended, otherwise
known as the Urban Development and Housing Act of 1992:

a. Requiring mandatory development of an area for socialized housing equivalent to at

least fifteen percent (15%) of the total subdivision area or total subdivision project cost
and at least five percent (5%) of condominium area or project cost, at the option of the
owner and/or developer, in accordance with the standards provided by law;

b. Compliance by concerned owners and/or developers may also be through any of the
following manner:

1.) Development of Socialized Housing in a new settlement

2.) Joint-venture projects for socialized housing with either the local government or any
of the housing agencies, or with another private developer or non-government
organization engaged in the provision of socialized housing and duly accredited by the
Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board

3.) Participation in a new project under the community mortgage program

2. Reducing Green House Gas (GHG) emissions and minimizing impact of buildings on
health and environment

Recognizing that buildings contribute to the build-up of Green House Gases in the
atmosphere, the plan shall adhere to the mandates of Ordinance No. 535, s-2014
Mandaluyong Green Building Regulations and its IRR or its latest version, if already
available, on adopting Building Efficiency Measures aimed at improving performance in the
following areas for buildings covered under Article IV of said Ordinance or its latest version:

a. Energy Efficiency through the adoption of efficient practices, designs, methods and
technology that reduce energy consumption resulting in cost-savings as well as
reduced consumption of non-renewable energy

77 | P a g e
 b. Water Efficiency through the adoption of practices, design, materials, fixtures,
equipment and methods that reduce water consumption, resulting in cost savings as
well as reduced consumption of potable water, maximizing its use through reuse and
recycling

c. Materials and Waste Management through the adoption of efficient waste

management practices and use of materials that are environment-friendly and locally
available

d. Site Sustainability through the adoption of design, construction and operation

practices that minimize the impact of buildings on ecosystems and water sources

e. Indoor Environment Quality through the adoption of design, construction and

operation practices that take into consideration the improvement of the occupants’
health, productivity, safety and quality of life
Figure 4.04 Sample Concepts of Scenic
View Corridors

3. Promoting Mandaluyong as a Walkable City

Making Mandaluyong a walkable city will not only

minimize vehicular traffic and its consequences to
the environment but also promote walking as a
healthy option for recreation, cultivate social
awareness on cleanliness and disciplined use of CPDO Deisgn concept along Pasig River
sidewalks, pathwalks and parks and open space
amenities, creating opportunities for local tourism Proposed Covered Walk along Senior Citizens’
Center, ABIS & JFMS, Welfareville Compound
industry.

This concept shall make use of the following

approaches (Figure 4.04):

a. Facilitating pedestrian circulation by

establishing scenic view corridors along main
roads and the Pasig Riverbank

b. Placing in strategic locations amenities such

as benches and rest stations easy to maintain
against weather and vandalism. Where
snack kiosks are allowed, such shall be of
uniform material and built, with provision
for water supply, drainage and waste departurelane.tumblr.com
management.

78 | P a g e
 c. Installation of CCTV cameras and security outposts to promote safety, peace and
order

d. Improving visual character of pedestrian crossings to discourage jaywalking

e. Landscaping of center islands shall have at least 5 meters clearance from both ends to
increase visibility of both pedestrians and approaching vehicles.

f. Designation of the river front as bike lane (Map 4.07)

4. Standardized Road Fixtures, Furniture, Signages and Streetlights

Designs of road fixtures such as but not limited to waiting sheds, plant boxes, sidewalk
railings, welcome arches, boundary markers, street lights, sidewalk pavers or textured
concrete shall be in accordance with the standards set by the city to prevent chaotic view of
transport corridors.

To prevent monotonous view of secondary and interior roads, the barangays are
encouraged to employ designs on roads within their boundaries that will highlight their
respective individuality and functional role in the city’s development. Design for main roads
shall be determined at the city level.

In spots where installation of utility fixtures cannot be avoided, such fixtures must be
screened from road view with decorative enclosures conforming to the theme of the view
corridor. Furniture such as litter/recycling bins shall be screened accordingly. To soften the
concrete jungle and still maintain the urban look, use of natural stones and greeneries as
screen or protective cover shall be prioritized.

Communication disks and antennae that cannot be covered shall be installed in the parts of
the building screened from road view such as rooftops, sides or rear.

Where bollards line the sidewalks in lieu of railings, such may be designed to feature solar
lamps for accent illumination and as emergency lights in event of street light malfunction or
blackouts. Parking meters (if applicable) shall be positioned and painted to adapt
harmoniously to the bollard line.

5. Smart City Concept

Embracing the advent of technological advances in communication and information

management, the plan shall provide for the development of infrastructure that will facilitate
information exchange, permitting processes, and responding to emergencies.

79 | P a g e
 Map 4.07

a. Smart streetlights shall be installed in strategic street corners. Such structures shall
have provisions for CCTV cameras, vehicular speed detectors, emergency call boxes,
flood markers in areas identified as flood prone, heat sensors and/or smoke detectors
in areas identified as fire prone with a horizontal range of at least 500 meter radius
that can trigger automatic shutdown of power lines and gas lines within the range.
Provision for greenhouse gas trackers shall be considered.

b. For new developments such as superblocks and CBDs, there shall be provisions for
below grade spaces and right-of-ways for network cabling systems, fiber optics,
distribution lines and control boxes for utilities and materials recovery facilities.

c. The Land Use Plan shall provide for a government database center where alignments
and locations of utility lines and other support infrastructure are registered in a
geographic information system along with other city database. Accessibility of such
information can help avoid disruption of utility services in areas in the vicinity of
excavation or construction sites.

80 | P a g e
6. Regulated Spaces for the Promotion of Micro-business Enterprises and Informal
Sectors

The plan shall adhere to the general principle that sidewalks shall be for public use.

a. It shall endeavour to identify spaces where informal sectors such as ‘sidewalk’

vendors can utilize for their livelihood.

b. Queuing lines for tricycles and PUJs shall be off-street, with designated waiting areas
for passengers. As recommended in the Traffic Management Plan 2017, strict
regulation of terminals, parking, and loading and unloading zones shall be observed.
Map 4.08 illustrates existing location of motorized tricycle terminals and routes in the
city.

7. Mainstreaming Disaster Preparedness and Climate Change Adaptation

Identified hazards that usually affect the city are flood commonly in low lying areas, and fire
in which informal settlements are prone to. For these occurrences, the plan establishes traffic
rerouting scheme and evacuation routes leading to identified evacuation areas. The scheme
shall expand to link the city to the Pre-designated Emergency Assembly Area for the East
Quadrant of Metro Manila which is the Ultra Sports Arena under OPLAN Metro Yakal.
Wherever possible, Pasig River shall be accessed as alternative route for emergency vehicles
and stations that would require support facilities e.g. provision of ramp for amphibian boats.

A space for the establishment of a warehouse for stockpiling of emergency supplies and
equipment shall be allocated. The plan also prioritizes roads and drainage for improvement
as listed in the Executive-Legislative Agenda 2017-2019.

The plan also designates open spaces such as parks and open sports facilities, public or
private, as potential evacuation sites as may be required in extreme circumstances.

In the event of massive death toll in such extreme cases, the reserve open spaces totaling
approximately 2000 sq. m as indicated in the Garden of Life Park Master Plan 2017-2026 shall
be used as temporary mass burial sites for the dead. City Ordinance No. 634, s-2016 on final
disposal shall apply when feasible.

For secondary hazards such as overhang utility cables, a system of color coding shall be
designed to facilitate visual identification and determination of appropriate action in
emergency cases e.g. earthquake, fire, unstable post or tree leaning against cables.

81 | P a g e
For land improvements in areas identified as flood prone, the Land Use Plan shall design a
system to recognize innovations and measures adopted to mitigate effects of disasters and
calamities.

8. Designated areas for Advertisement and Information Communication Media such as

Billboards, LED screens, Tarpaulins and Posters

The plan upholds the provisions of Ordinance No. 483, s-2011 regulating billboards and
advertising signs in the city.

Map 4.08

82 | P a g e
F. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES

1. Creation of Superblocks and new CBD

Consistent with this Land Use Plan, the Zoning Ordinance, which serves as the legal
implementation mechanism of this Plan, shall be revised taking into consideration rezoning
of certain areas to generate more space either through vertical densification or horizontal
intensification:

a. Mixed Development in Certain Areas

Whereas certain zones allow mixed use buildings, mixed development shall allow in
certain areas combination of mixed use buildings, residential and commercial buildings
categorized as follows:

1) Mixed Development I : for areas originally zoned as R3-A along Blumentritt St.,
Private Road, Pantaleon St., New Road, Pasig River Linear Park

2) Mixed Development II: for areas originally zoned as C-1 along North of
Coronado St. and both sides of J. Rizal St. and Martinez St. from Coronado St. to
Mabini St.

3) Mixed Development III: for areas originally R3-B along Blumentritt St., Private
Road, Pantaleon St., New Road, Pasig River Linear Park

b. Two-lot deep higher intensity uses

The plan shall devise a methodology for identifying areas to be rezoned similar to
abutting properties e.g. commercial to encourage land pooling among property owners.
This concept of two-lot deep zoning recognizes that a large land area provides flexibility
in designing land development and locating structure to enable developers to comply
with the requirements for open spaces and easements.

This is also being conceptualized in support of the concept of swapping air space with
open space.

c. Urban Renewal of Eastern Part of Welfareville Compound as New CBD

The area popularly known as Welfareville Compound is in a prime location and has
very high potential for economic development. In anticipation of the relocation of its
present occupants i.e. the National Center for Mental Health and the Correctional
Institute for Women, the plan proposes that this part of Welfareville Compound located
in Barangay Mauway be declared as the Urban Renewal Area for a New Central Business

83 | P a g e
 District. Being centrally located in the city, this New CBD will provide a new option to
Mandaleños in the western and southern part of the city.

The implementation of the Skyway-C3 missing link project in the vicinity of Gen.
Kalentong St. and the DPWH proposed bridge connecting Sheridan St. in Mandaluyong
to J. P. Rizal St. in Makati City are expected to divert vehicular traffic to ease congestion
from EDSA, Barangka Drive, Boni Avenue and Shaw Blvd.

2. Water Front Development

The plan shall endeavour to reclaim the lost easement along Pasig River and developing the
area to be generated to fill the gaps in the linear parks along the river. This is in line with the
concept of making Mandaluyong a Walkable City where pedestrians and tourist can enjoy
the exercise as part of a healthy lifestyle and stress management.

Where river easements are within the legal boundaries of private properties and acquisition
is not feasible, the Plan shall develop a mechanism for coordinating landscaped
developments within the required easements to conform to the aesthetic design of the
Walkable City Concept.

3. Expansion of Road Networks to foster development of southern part of the City

Recognizing that the threat of traffic congestion posed by new development is a considerable
factor that determines social acceptability and economic feasibility of such development, it is
only fitting to provide sufficient road network to overcome such threat. In the southern part
of the city, the main route is limited to Coronado St. connecting to J. P. Rizal towards New
Panaderos St. on the western direction, and connecting to Pantaleon St. leading to Barangka
Drive for those heading north to Shaw Blvd. and east to EDSA.

Intensifying developments in this southern part without the necessary road complement will
only burden the existing community instead of providing opportunities for economic
development and better standard of living.

The proposed new road connecting Pantaleon St. to Lions Road leading to EDSA is expected
to facilitate ingress/egress of vehicles to/from EDSA, bypassing the chokepoints in Dansalan
St-Boni Avenue and Lions Rd.- Mayon St.-Boni Avenue junctions. Together with another
targeted road development that will divert traffic coming from Estrella-Barangka Drive
Bridge to Pantaleon St. bypassing Pantaleon - Barangka Drive junction, this will enhance

84 | P a g e
circulation within the vicinity which will also contribute to the decongestion of the Boni
Avenue – Barangka Drive traffic choke point. In addition, widening of Pantaleon St. to
accommodate potential increase in vehicular traffic in this direction coupled with surface
improvements of Mabini, J. Rizal and Nanirahan St. in Bgy. Mabini-J. Rizal at the southwest
part of the city are also targeted to support new developments in the southern part of the
city.

4. Imposition of Enhanced Development Charges for added Building Height or Floor

Area Ratio

Mandaluyong City is the first local government unit in the country to have successfully
introduced and implemented zoning regulations with development charge. The main idea is
to encourage highest and best use of the land but at the same time generate more revenue to
fund the necessary public infrastructure support to mitigate problems that may arise as a
result of allowing higher density developments.

To support the concept of Swapping of Air Space with Open Space, the Plan proposes to
modify basis for computing Development Charges in the New Zoning Ordinance as
originally provided in Article VIII of Zoning Ordinance 475, s-2011. This is envisioned to be
a ‘Win-Win’ solution where proponents can avail of the provision on Development Charge
with additional incentives, and the city government to generate more open space for
allocation to other necessary uses e.g. road widening, traffic management, environmental
protection, disaster risk reduction, peace and order, among others.

5. Incentives for Green Buildings

Similar to zoning with development charge, Mandaluyong City is the first local government
unit in the country to have successfully introduced and implemented Green Building
regulations through Ordinance No. 535, s-2014. The main rationale for this Ordinance is that
buildings are significant contributors to Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission in the atmosphere.

However, recognizing that green technology is relatively new to most property owners and
developers, and that materials and equipment are not yet fully in the local market, the Code
limits its coverage and requirements to gradually introduce the concept of Green Buildings
locally. To encourage voluntary compliance, the Ordinance introduces incentives by way of
additional building height or FAR, as applicable, on top of the maximum allowable building
height or FAR per Zoning Ordinance No. 475, s-2011.

With the introduction of the Smart City concept whereby greenhouse gas trackers are
targeted for installation in strategic places, detection of the amount of GHG produced and its
source will be facilitated.

85 | P a g e
Relative to this, the Plan shall adhere to the provisions of Ordinance No. 535, s-2014
popularly known as the Mandaluyong Green Building Regulations of 2014 and endeavour
to determine possible expansion of the its coverage and applicability as originally provided
in Article IV Section of the Ordinance:

a. Green Building requirements shall apply entirely to new buildings in the following
categories:

1) Residential buildings with total floor area greater than 20,000 sq.m.
2) Office buildings with total floor area greater than 10,000 sq.m.
3) Mixed–use buildings with total floor area greater than 10,000 sq.m.
4) Educational buildings with total floor area greater than 5,000 sq.m
5) Retail buildings with total floor area greater than 15,000 sq.m.
6) Hotel buildings
7) Hospital buildings
8) Government Buildings

For mixed–use buildings, building requirements for each building type incorporated
into the mixed–use building shall apply.

b. Green Building requirements apply to scope of works covered by

modification/renovation of existing buildings in the categories above and covering
a floor area of at least 1,000 square meters.

6. Public Private Partnership for Infrastructure Development

The Plan shall take advantage of opportunities for Public Private Partnership for the
implementation of support infrastructure projects:

a. Joint venture for housing development or support programs per RA 10884 Section 18
on Balanced Housing Development

b. For road development, the Plan shall endeavour to arrange with private owners and
developers of superblocks and CBDs the opening of roads to the public.

c. For the implementation of the Smart City Concept, the Plan shall enjoin support of
utility service providers for the development or provision of necessary technology
and services.

d. For emergency and disaster management, the Plan shall endeavour to identify
possible areas of cooperation with the private sector and non-government
organizations, e.g. through use of facilities and available space within the city.

86 | P a g e
7. Revitalization of Barangay Poblacion highlighting San Felipe Neri Parish Church as
heritage site

Mandaluyong City was originally named San Felipe Neri by the Spaniards way back in the
19th century when the ‚barrio‛ was still part of Sta. Ana de Sapa. On September 15, 1863, San
Felipe Neri established its own parish under the administration of the Congregation
‚Dulcisimo de Jesus‛, and thus the church, convent and school were constructed. During the
1896-1898 Revolution, the parish served as a relay station for propagating the Katipunan. It
was where Gat Andres Bonifacio proclaimed the date of the attack on Manila, and where the
revolutionary paper ‚La Republika‛ was established.

Fronting the junction of Boni Avenue and G. Aglipay St., the church is strategically located
such that, with its original features preserved, the church remains one of the focal points of
Barangay Poblacion. Declaring the church as a heritage site highlighting its historical
significance and developing its surroundings to complement the Walkable City concept will
boost the image of Bgy. Poblacion from a regular residential community to a tourist
destination. This change is envisioned to serve as catalyst of development in the area,
encouraging tourist-oriented services and physical development.

This strategy shall be replicated whenever feasible in other areas in the city where historical
and heritage sites are identified in the Cultural Mapping mandated by City Ordinance No.
606, s-2015. At present, six areas are identified as potential tourist sites as shown in Map 4.09.

Plan adopted and funded by virtue of City Ordinance No. 391, s-2008. From a mere
public cemetery operating mostly under subsidy from the city government, the
cemetery has transformed into an economic enterprise that caters even to clients
from outside the city.

The GLP has been noted for its ‚one-stop-shop‛ service facilities from funeral
services, memorial chapel, burial in regular niches, cremation (optional), and rental of
columbarium units (optional). It has become a popular Lakbay Aral Destination to

92 | P a g e
various groups from local government units, academe, private and non-government
organizations, and even visitors from governments abroad wanting to learn about
best practices in local governance.
