11 INTRODUCTION
Lit This explanatory statement is intended to assist in the understanding of the intentions of
the various land use zonings for the Bonifacio Global City, the guidance offeted and any
Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions imposed by Fort Bonifacio Development
Corporation (FBDC) or its assigns, herein after referred to as the Declarant.
1.2.1 The Master Plan was ptepated by consultants commissioned by the Declarant to
examine the architectural, urban design, planning, traffic and engineering aspects
associated with the development of the Bonifacio Global City, hereinafter referred to as
the "Global City."
1.2.2 The Master Plan for Bonifacio Global City was apptoved by the Municipality of Taguig
on 08 March 1996 through the Municipal Resolution No. 46, Seties of 1996 and
confitmed by the Office of the President of the Philippines under Administrative Order
No. 269, Series of 1996.
1.2.3 The development of the Global City is controlled through the Declaration of Covenants,
Conditions and Restrictions, Design Standards and Guidelines and codes, tules and
regulations telating to land development, building construction, including the Philippine
codes on envitonmental protection, structural, electrical, mechanical,
sanitation/ plumbing, fire safety, as well as the Law to Enhance Mobility of Disabled
Persons, and any amending or new legislation.
1.2.4 It is envisaged that whilst the overall development framework of the Master Plan will
remain intact, there may be a need to refine or amend certain ateas of the Master Plan
and/or accompanying Design Standards and Guidelines over time to reflect changing
circumstances.
13.1 The object of the Master Plan is to stimulate, govern, control development and indicate
broad land use zonings and road networks so as to guide the development of Fort
Bonifacio and ensure the creation of a Global City which is functional and innovative as
well as visionary as embodied in the vision statement of Fort Bonifacio Development
Corpotation, as follows:
The Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation believes that land is not inherited from
our forefathers. Rather, it is borrowed from our children.

with or without conditions on application. Whete permission of the Declarant for a use
is necessary, the application for such permission should be addressed to the Declarant,
from whom the appropriate application forms may be obtained. The provision for
application for such permission allows for greater flexibility in land use planning and
better control of development to meet changing needs.
1.4.2 Any use which may be permitted in accordance with the Design Standards and
Guidelines must also conform with all other relevant legislation and with the Declaration
of Covenants, Conditions and Resttictions concerned.
1.4.3 If it is the intention to change the use of any existing land or building falling within any
zone on the Plan, then such change of use may only be cartied out if the intended use is
a use which is always permitted or if permission for the intended use has been obtained
from the Declarant.
1.44 Temporary uses of any land are petmitted in all zones as long as they have received the
ptior written permission of the Declarant.

FORT BONIFACIO - THE AREA
1.5.1 Bonifacio Global City is 440 hectares of land located in one of Metro Manila's most
strategic locations. It is bordered by four of the country's largest road arteries- the South
Luzon Expressway (R2); Kalayaan Avenue (R4); EDSA (C4) and Circumferential Road
(C5).
1.5.2 It is planned to become the country’s primary business gateway, located as it is in close
proximity to Ninoy Aquino International Airport and some 2 kilometers from Makati
City.
1.5.3 To the north of the Global City lies Kalayaan Avenue (R4) and the Pasig River, to the
west the Manila Golf and Country Club and Manila Polo Club located within Forbes
Park and Dasmarinas Villages, to the southwest the Ninoy Aquino International Airport,
to the south the American Battle Memorial, the Libingan ng mga Bayani and Heritage
Park. The eastern perimeter of the Global Cityis bounded by C5.
1.5.4 The northern segment of the Global City can be divided into six fairly distinct planning
districts as illustrated in Figures 1.2 and 1.3:
e Notth Bonifacio
University Park
Bonifacio Center -
Station Square East
Bonifacio South
Crescent Park West
a. North Bonifacio
North Bonifacio is located ditectly to the northwest of the Bonifacio Center area. It
is curtently ptoposed that financial and business uses will front Bonifacio Avenue,
which leads directly into the central core of the Global City, and residential areas will
be constructed adjacent to the mixed use development.
b. University Park
An institutional area is planned in the University Park located at the northeast
portion of the Global City, directly abutting the eastern edge of North Bonifacio. It
is currently planned that the atea will accommodate institutions such as schools, and
university (ies), ancillary educational facilities, places of worship, health care facilities,
civic and reseatch institutions, as well as recreational venues. A mixed use zone is
also located within the District.
c. Bonifacio Center
Located right in the heart of the Global City is Bonifacio Center, planned as an
exciting, convenient 24-hour urban cote accommodating financial headquarters,
hotels, retail, entertainment and other mixed uses.
Station Square East is located directly to the east of the Bonifacio Center and to the
south of University Park. The atea is dominated by the multi-modal station which
will accommodate an integrated station for local and regional transit lines. Other
uses planned for the district include an international trade and

Bonifacio South
Directly to the south of the Bonifacio Center, and abutting the Manila American
Cemetery and Memorial, is Bonifacio South. This is planned as a model district
located at the southern entrance of the Global City from Makati and the south. It
will act as a transition zone from the low to higher density urban areas and wiil
provide views to off site and on site open spaces. The Bonifacio South district will
accommodate two land use zones, a Residential Zone and a Mixed Use Zone. In
the former, multi-storey structures intended primarily for residential purposes, and
in some locations retail to serve community requirements will be permitted. In the
case of the former, retail uses are only permitted up to 12 meters above ground floor
level including basements. In the Mixed Use Zones, certain uses similar to those in
the corresponding zone in the Bonifacio Center will be permitted.
Crescent Patk West is bounded by Manila Golf and Country Club at the west,
Bonifacio South at the south and Bonifacio Center at the east. This area is planned
as a quiet, predominantly residential district. The district is zoned for residential and
mixed uses. Residential uses, with retail, permitted at ground floor level, have been
zoned for some portions of lots fronting Crescent West (Park) and Bonifacio South.
1.5.5 ‘The Bonifacio Triangle Design Standards and Guidelines (DSG) is applicable in selected
lots in the following districts of the Global City:
North Bonifacio
University Park
1.6 LAND-USE ZONING (BONIFACIO TRIANGLE ONLY)
a. Mixed Use is the dominant land use currently planned in Bonifacio Triangle of the
Global City.
The zone allows fot both commercial and residential uses to provide
accommodation for the business and financial sectors as well as a supporting
residential community.
All buildings in the Mixed Use Zone should provide separate and exclusive entrance
for the residential portion of the development to ensure its privacy and security.
1.6.2 Institutional
A site teserved for place of worship and ancillary uses is also found within the District.
a. This space is intended to provide land for both active and passive recreational
activities and may include landscaped areas, plaza, car parking, etc.

a. Multiple connections will be created between the site and the surrounding highways
and roadways. Greater toad capacity and more convenient access will be created
without encouraging vehicles to use the Global City as a through road.
a. An integrated mix of local and regional transit systems is envisaged to form the
backbone of the Global City’s transportation network.
18 UTILITY SERVICES
1.8.1 The city is to be serviced with water supply, drainage and sewage systems. It will also be
provided with electricity, telecommunication facilities and piped LPG.
19 IMPLEMENTATION
1.9.1 The Master Plan for Fort Bonifacio provides a broad land use framework to guide the
development of the Global City. Whilst plans for Bonifacio Triangle of the Global City
have been detailed, latter phases will be subject to supplements and/or amendments,
teflecting changing circumstances.

DISTRICT & PARCEL PLAN
2.1.1 The design of buildings within Bonifacio Global City must conform to the Declaration
of Covenants, Conditions and Resttictions, to the Design Standatds and Guidelines
detailed below, as well as all laws, ordinances, design standards and codes, rules and.
regulations related to land development, and building construction including the
National Building Code, the various planning and safety codes of the Philippines and
any amending or new legislation.
2.1.2 The objective in drawing up the Design Standards and Guidelines is to encourage the
cteation of a visually interesting and stimulating Bonifacio Global City, with varied
architectural forms and a level of detail that constantly delights residents and visitors
alike. Vernacular architecture is strongly encouraged to reflect the culture of the
Philippines.
The building massing of the Bonifacio Global City is governed by several design
standards and guidelines including Floor Area Ratio (FAR) or development density,
building coverage, building setback, easement and building height.
2.2.1 The permitted development density for individual lots within Big Delta, Expanded Big
Delta and Portion of North Bonifacio is indicated in Figure 2.1. The calculation of the
FAR has been developed in accordance with the development guidelines established by
the Declarant and must be based upon the definition of gross floor area as detailed in
Section 2.3.
2.2.2 Where retail and entertainment components are allowed, these shall not exceed a FAR
of 3. This FAR is a component of the total permissible FAR of the lot.
2.2.3 The total permissible GFA of any building or buildings constnicted or to be constructed
on any lot shall not be more than Floor Area Ratio (FAR) multiplied by the land area of
the lots, as defined in the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CCR)
and this Design Standard and Guidelines (DSG). In case of discrepancies, e.g. rounding
off of FAR, the GFA indicated in the Lot Information Plan shall govern.
In addition, the minimum GFA to be built in any lot developed or to be developed for
residential use (as per the Design Standards and Guidelines in accordance with the
Master Plan) shall not be less than an amount that will result in FAR 4.
2.3.1 Gross floor area (GFA) is defined in the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and
Restrictions as the area contained within the extemal faces of the external walls (or in
the absence of such walls, the external perimeters) of any building(s), to be etected on a
lot measured at each floor or level (including any floor below the level of the ground)
together with the area of each balcony in such building (s) which shall be calculated
fram the overall dimensions of the balcony. (including the thickness of the sides).
DESIGN STANDARDS & GUIDELINES
Bonifacio Triangle

2.3.2 When calculating the permitted GFA of a building(s), there are building areas that the
Declarant has, at his sole discretion, determined that are:
always included;
always excluded;
in specific/special circumstances excluded,
in specific/special circumstances eligible for bonus floor area ratio
2.3.3 The following building areas ate always included in the calculation of GFA:
lobby/ foyer
mezzanine -
RC
2.3.4 Building areas that are always excluded in the calculation of GFA provided the
Declarant is satisfied that they are constructed for this sole purpose, are:
a. parking area
b. loading or unloading area for motor vehicles
c. areas to be occupied solely by machinery or equipment for any elevator, ait-
conditioning or heating system, mechanical or electrical risers, refuse collection area
exclusively serving the entire building
d. elevator shaft and fire stairs at each floor
enclosed fite exit and exit enclosure
uncovered gardens / landscaped areas, children’s play ateas, uncovered and
rn
The Declarant may permit any floor space to be excluded from the definition of GFA
through modifications of the provisions of the Design Standards & Guidelines.
2.3.5 In order to facilitate implementation of the Master Plan, particularly the comprehensive
pedestrian network which is to setve the whole Global City, some floor areas may, at the
sole discretion of the Declatant, be excluded from the calculation of GFA.

2.3.6 There are some ateas in the building that may be eligible for bonus FAR. The building
ateas that may be eligible for bonus FAR ratio must be critical to the day to day
functioning of the Global City and well-being of the community which both work and
live within it These areas should either facilitate public pedestrian movement or other
public activities The Declarant, at his sole discretion, will determine where such bonuses
will be given.
24 BUILDING COVERAGE
2.4.1 Every building to be constructed within the Global City is subject to the following
controls:
a. podium coverage controls
b. tower coverage controls
‘Podium! coverage controls apply to that portion of the building 25 meters and below
while the 'tower coverage’ control apply to that portion of the building above 25 metets.
These controls apply to all buildings whether they ate in effect towers (Le. a single
steuctute with no podium either up to 25 meters or 25 meters and above) or buildings
containing a podium with a towet above. The objective of introducing the controls is to
encourage a range of building form.
2.4.2 The coverage controls with respect to the above are as detailed below:
The covetage conttol is further subject to governing setbacks and easements. In case of
discrepancy between coverage control and setback/easement, the more stringent
covetage shall apply.
2.5.1 The building line of any structure must comply with the podium and tower setback and
easement requirements of the Setback Plan as indicated in Figures 2.2, 7.1, 7.2 and the
Individual Lot Information Plan
2.5.2 Podium facade, above arcade if any, shall be built at the property line or the inner edge
of easement where a build-to-line is a requirement. In such 2 case, 20 metets minimum,
high “building-frontage” up to the cornice line is required for mixed use development
while for residential development; the minimum shall be 12 meters.
2.5.3 Where no setback or easement is indicated in Figure 2.2, 7.1, 7.2 and the Individual Lot
Information Plan, the developer has the option to design their desired setback for that
atea including but not limited to build-to-line.

Transport Office.
2.9.2 There must be continuous and unhampered access (with no abrupt grade changes)
between buildings and required skywalks. The recommended ground level to second
level floor-to-floor height is 6 meters for buildings with required skywalks and 5 meters
for buildings without required skywalks.
2.10.1 Building character relates to the range of exterior visual patterns expressed through
cornices, columns, glazing and variations in massing, colors, texture, and materials, etc.
In identifying the particular character for a building, it is important that:
a. it respect the character of buildings in the same block/district.
b. facades should employ different but related architectural elements so as to avoid
tepetition and monotony.
2.10.2 The expression of building character should include horizontal and vertical banding and
thythm, storefront cadence and lintel, cornice and molding, tower to podium proportion
and the organization of glazing, etc. Compatable and compatible design details should
be employed at all sides of the building. Vesnacular architecture is strongly encouraged
to reflect the culture of the Philippines. In addition, the design of the building should
respond to the local climate in both the overall form and materials used.

3.1.1 ‘The parking strategy that has been devised for Bonifacio Global City is the result of an
in-depth study to examine travel demand patterns within the Global City. The study
looked at the trips that would be generated by residents and the workforce living or
working within the Global City as well as those trips that would be attracted to the
Global City for reasons of work, entertainment, visiting friends, etc.
The strategy took account of the fact that the Global City is to be setviced by both a
public transportation system as well as private vehicles.
3.1.3 As patt of the overall public and private transportation strategy for the Global City,
there is a need to constrain vehicular movement and consider a car parking strategy.
This strategy looks to provide the Global City with both private and public car parks.
3.1.4 Private car parking spaces as well as provision for loading/unloading bays will only
setvice residents or those working in or utilizing the particular development or building
in which they are located.
3.1.5 All residential developments, whether in R1, R2, R3 or in mixed use (M1, M2) zones,
shall accommodate 100 percent of the requited car parking provision on-site. This
standard reflects both market or end-user demand as well as the fact that residential
users generate less vehicular ttips than do commercial. No surface car parking is
petmitted within residential areas.
3.1.6 For commercial uses (office, retail, entertainment, etc.) including hotels, the Lot
Buyet/Owner shall provide 100 percent of the required car parking provisions on-site.
3.1.7 Where different types of development (c.g., residential development, hotel, office, retail,
community facilities) are included on the same site, some reduction in car patking
standards may be considered by the Declarant if it can be clearly demonstrated, through
detailed traffic impact and car parking study, that a relaxation in the standards of
provision is beneficial.
3.1.8 The dimensions for standard parking space, loading/unloading bays and lay-bys ate as
follows: :
Length. Width Minimum
(meters) —_(tmetets) Headtoom
Private cars, taxis 5: 25 24
Coaches, buses 12 3.6 3.8
Lorries, container vehicles 12 3.6 4.5
Lay bys are drop off points for private vehicles and taxis.
‘The minimum headroom relates to the clearance between the floor and the lower most
ptojection from the ceiling including any: lighting units, ventilation duct, conduits or
similar.
3.1.9 The first 5 meters of enttance and exit ramps to car patks abutting sidewalks shall have
a slope of not greater than one petcent (1%). No portion of either the entrance or exit
ramp shall intrude into the sidewalk pavement.

7.11 In drawing up the Master Plan for Bonifacio Global City, the objective has beet to
cteate a visually exciting and stimulating Global City whose residents and workforce
alike ate ptovided with a full range of community facilities. Important amongst these is
open or preen space which effectively provides the Global City with its lungs.
72 LANDSCAPED AREA
7.21 There will be a number of landscaped areas owned and to be constructed by the
Declarant as indicated in Figure 7.1. These landscaped areas will accommodate both
passive and active recreational functions reflecting the particular usage of the
neighborhood in which they ate located. This will be designed so as to cteate a node or
focal point for the surrounding blocks and will visually enhance the nearby ateas and the
Global City as a whole.
7.3.1 Easement ateas and plazas ate ateas of publicly accessible open space which provide a
visual or amenity function in private lots. There ate sevetal types of easement areas
within private lots in the Global City:
a. Roadway Easement Area
b. Plaza Easement Area
c. Landscape Easement Area
d. Landscape Utility Easement Area
7.3.2 Easements ate to be developed according to the Design Standards & Guidelines.
Except for the utility easement, all other easements ate to be developed at the cost of the
lot buyer/owner. The design must be compatible with the adjacent sites, building
architecture and streetscape.
7.3.3 Fences and walls are allowed along easement lines adjacent to the buildable areas within
alot. No walls or fences are allowed within these easements. Where appropriate, the
use of seating walls and free-standing benches is encouraged.
7.34 Roadway easements provide greenways along major roads and footpaths. The standard
treatment within such easements is to plant trees. The spacing, size and variety of tree
must match those along adjacent streets unless otherwise indicated by the Declarant.
Roadway easements also include ateas at key intersections or landscaped gateways which
visually define the boundaries of the Global City and reinforce a sense of entry into
distinct districts at major intersections and bridges. The clearance between the topmost
portion of any structure to be built under a roadway easement shall be at least 3 meters
below ground level. :
7-1
DESIGN STANDARDS & GUIDELINES
Bonifacio Triangle
February 2010
7.3.5 Plazas are encouraged, wherever appropriate, within the Global City. In specific areas,
where focal points are desired or adjacent to landmark buildings, easements have been
established for the purpose of developing pedestrian oriented plazas which will enhance
the visual importance and significance of the surrounding areas. These easements
should be developed primarily as paved plazas. The use of water features is encouraged.
7.3.6 Landscape easements provide landscaped arcas for public use adjacent to open space or
greenway routes. They accommodate both passive and active recreation. The clearance
between the topmost portion of any structure to be built under a landscape easement
must be at least 3 meters below ground level.
7.3.7 Landscape utility easements allow public enjoyment of landscaped space above areas
required for the installation and maintenance of various utility lines. Public use may be
suspended if access to utility lines so necessitates.
741 Within lots, internal publicly accessible landscaped areas are encouraged, in particular, in
all large scale developments. If such spaces ate integrated into the comprehensive
pedestrian network, such spaces may be utilized for public art.
74.2 Open space within lots shall be designed with amenities for residents and occupants,
including gardens, pools, shades structutes and play areas. In the case of residential
buildings, the podium roof should be developed to maximize use by residents.
7.4.3 Private open spaces within mixed use or commercial parcels must be designed to
enhance the use of outdoor spaces, patticularly at the podium level.
75 TECHNICAL CRITERIA
7.5.1 At the contract drawing stage, a Lot Buyer/Owner must submit his landscape plans to
the Declarant for its/his written endorsement. Such plans must include detailed
information regarding plant materials, paving and other site elements. All design
submittals shall include design for irrigation.
7.5.3.1 Avoid the use of trees with invasive root system near utilities, pavements, curbs,
walls and other structures. Examples of trees with invasive roots are Samanea
saman, Delonix regia, Erythtina indica, Ficus sp., Treminalia catappa and
Casuarina equisetifolia. Where such species must be used, root barriers will be
required to protect existing or proposed utilities and structures.
7.5.3.2 Other species that already form patt of the Global City Streetscape palette
include Bauhinia purpurea, Pterocarpus indicus, Brahychiton acerifolius,
Melaleuca leucpdendron ‘Fine Leaf and ‘Broad Leaf’ Gtevillea baileyana,
Eucalyptus robusta, lindetsia schottiana, Jacaranda mimosaefolia and Roystonea

and leave visitors with a positive and memorable impression.
8.1.4 It will achieve uniqueness and specificity through involving the public, the local
community, and children in the creative experience.
8.2 POLICY
8.2.1 Public Art can become a major soutce of identity for a city. The quality of life is also
entiched by art and artistic expression in vatied forms. The successful cteation of art in
public places depends upon the quality of the art itself, sensitivity to its social context as
well as an appropriate relationship to the physical site.
8.2.2 To ensure variety and vitality in this new Global City and to add texture and humanity
to the urban environment, the Lot Buyer/Owner Plan shall participate in the
development of public art by contributing to an art fund for, and dedicated to, the
development, maintenance and preservation of public art.
8.2.3 These guidelines are intended to clarify the process and respective roles of attists,
emphasizing the many avenues through which the fund can be cteatively applied. In
developing these guidelines, the Declarant has looked to facilitate the creation of a
special local Philippine as well as international identity within the various areas that
make up the Global City as well as encouraging and maintaining a high artistic standard.
8.3.1 The Lot Buyer/Owner as a member of the Estate Association shall contribute to an Art
Fund based on the permissible GFA of his lot The Art Fund contribution shall be
computed at 100 pesos per square meter of petmissible GFA, subject to reasonable
adjustments as deemed necessary by the Declarant. A reasonable amount for the
maintenance and preservation of public art shail form part of the dues of the Estate
Association.
8.4.1 Appropriateness
8.4.2 Relevance
It should telate to this particular development and the people who will inhabit it in a
meaningful way.
8.4.3 Accessibility
It should rise above the level of “good design” into the realm of art, and be of lasting,
universal quality.
8.4.5 Visibility
It may be highly visible from long distances of it may invite discovery, depending on site
otientation.
8.4.6 Uniqueness
It should be interesting, unique and challenging enough, and the artist respected enough,
to attract media attention at the local, national, or intemational level. It should reinforce
the Bonifacio image.
8.4.7 Durability
8.5.1 Spaces that ate eligible for public art include those indicated in Figure 8.1 and the
following areas:
public, visible open spaces

Tere
8.5.2 Spaces may either be intetior or exterior. Locations can include the surface treatments
of buildings, retaining walls and bridges. The definition of “location” may be expanded
to extend the possibilities for the display of public art. However, the primary objective
of visual or interactive public accessibility will be maintained in the selection of location.

8.5.3 Works of art will be permanently affixed in an identified location and must remain in the
Global City throughout the life of the project. The guidelines, with respect to public
accessibility, do not preclude the installation of hanging works of art, free-standing or
pottable works of art.
8.5.4 Eligible works of art include, but are not limited to, the following:
Sculpture
Decorative Water Features by artists
me ange
Painting(s)

8.5.5 Media for works of art may include, but are not limited to: paint, clay, wood, metal,
paper, glass, fiber, textiles, plastic, fresco, mosaic, marble, plaster, neon, stone,
photography, film, video, electronics, mixed media, or any other matetial or combination
of materials appropriate to the work of art and its physical environment.
8.6 MAINTENANCE
8.6.1 The continued maintenance of artwork will be done through the Declarant, or other
parties as may be determined by the Declarant. The Declarant will include maintenance
provisions in the artwork contract that stipulate the length of time the artist will be
responsible for repairs, urge artists to provide a maintenance manual, and will allow the
attist first-refusal on repair contracts within a fair market rate of remuneration.
8.7 IMPLEMENTATION
8.7.1 Expenditure of the Public Art Fund shall be in accordance with policies and programs
of the Bonifacio Arts Foundation, Inc. (BAF).
8.7.2 Monies allocated to the fund will be spent to facilitate the creation of a distinctive urban
character for each district through the incorporation of a wide range of art works. These
may include special ot landscape features such as fountains, street furniture (benches,
lamp posts, letter boxes, etc.) as well as works of att.
8.7.3 Whatever selection method is adopted, preference shall be given to local Philippine
artists to enhance the vernacular character and identity of the Global City. As a
recognizable landmark Philippine development, it will afford a venue for Philippine
artists to gain international exposure.
‘The three basic forms of artist selection are open competition, invitational competition
and ditect selection.
a. Open Competition
The open competition is a call-for-entries for a specific project. Artists will usually
be asked to submit samples of their past work rather than proposals for the project
at hand. The types of work sought in the competition will depend upon the
8-3
DESIGN STANDARDS & GUIDELINES
Bonifacio Triangle

requirements of the site as determined by the Master Plan. The call-for-entries will
need to make clear the patameters of the att component through a thoroughly
developed Request for Qualification process so that artists who are not eligible do
not waste their time applying and so that the selection process is not unduly
burdened with unnecessaty applications.
Invitational Competition
The selected artists will be contacted and will be sent project specifications. Also,
they will be asked to visit the site, if possible, and subsequently meet with key
project people. The artist must understand the project and the community the
project is intended to setve. A thorough briefing, including meetings and
supplementary materials will help insure that the candidates understand the complex
relationships at work in the project.

10.1.1 The purpose of the Transit Route Protection Zone is to define a route cottidor for the
transit system and to enable all works required for the construction and operation of the
transit system. Any adjacent proposed developments may have an impact on routes and,
therefore, Lot Buyers/Owners of affected sites ate requited to determine what impacts
there might be through formal contact with the Declarant.
10.1.2 Many of the transit structures that could possibly be developed are below grade.
Consequently the Declarant will need to employ inspectors to monitor works being
cattied out on or above these structures with a view to advising where damage, danger
or enctoachment to existing or future transit works may be caused.
10.1.3 A transit route protection zone for the teansit system has, therefore, been drawn (Figure
No. 10-1) and a set of related Technical Guidance Notes for adjacent engineering and
building works is outlined in Section 10.3. The areas within the protection boundary are
commonly known as the transit route protection zones. These zones are also indicated
in the individual Lot Information Plan as applicable. Ground investigation works and
undetground drainage works in these areas will be subject to additional control by the
Declarant.
10.1.4 As a general rule, the transit route protection zone covers about 30 metets wide reserve
ot 15 meters measured both ways from centerline of the transit system alignment. At
stations, the area enclosed by the zone is even mote extensive. The protection width at
each station should be 50 meters wide except at the Bonifacio Multi-modal Station.
Information on the alignment and the protection zone of the transit systems may be
obtained directly from the Declarant.
10.1.5 The guidelines necessary to avoid incompatibility between building works and the
operation of the transit systems ate attached. These guidelines apply to ail building
works (including ground investigation works and underground drainage works) to be
carried out in the transit route protection zone.
10.2.1 Prior to the commencement of any building works, details of the proposed works shall
be submitted to the Declatant for written approval. Details submitted shall include, but
not limited to, plans and sections detailing the works and showing their relative
relationship to the transit route protection zone; specifications for the works;
calculations detailing the stresses, ground deformations, gtound water movements and
vibration (both during execution and long term) that the proposed works shall impose
within the reserve; proposed methods of execution and all other details necessary for the
determination of any possible impact that the proposed works may have upon existing
ot planned transit facilities.
10.2.2 Plans for proposed. building works within the route protection area should be submitted
to the Declarant. At the request of the Declarant and in order to protect the proposed
transit system, any necessary protective measures may need to be enforced by additional
Design Standards and Guidelines.

10.2.3 In order to protect any existing or planned transit facilities, the Declarant shall be
entitled to reject any such proposal(s) and require the Lot Buyer/Owner to modify and
re-submit for approval any such plans.
10.2.4 No works shall commence without the prior written approval of the Declarant.
10.2.5 ‘The Declarant will monitor settlement and vibration on transit structures where
necessaty. The Lot Buyer/Owner is required to inform the Declarant directly, prior to
the commencement of any building works by his Contractor within the protection
boundary, to enable them to plan a convenient monitoring program. In the event that
any adverse situation becomes apparent, the Declarant will alert interested parties, and a
copy of such monitoring information prepared by the Declarant may be made available
to the Lot Buyer/Owner and/ or his Contractor.
10.2.6 Any other necessary monitoring within the building site (e.g. monitoring of piezometric
change) will be cartied out by the Contractor (on behalf of the Lot Buyer/Owner) at his
own cost and should maintain liaison with the Declarant and keep each other informed
of the monitoring records as necessary.
10.2.7 Under the provisions of the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions and
these Design Standards and Guidelines, the Declarant may in writing authorize a
representative to enter any building site within the transit route protection zone for the
purpose of monitoring construction.
a. Thete ate certain restraints on properties in close proximity to a transit vent shaft
fot reason of minimizing the possibility of contamination by fire or smoke. In this
connection, Lot Buyers/Owners are advised that any opening such as windows,
doorways, building ventilation system intake or exhaust and the like shall be located
no closer than 5 meters to the opening of any transit vent shaft, irrespective of
whether such a vent shaft is free standing or is accommodated in a building. This
distance may be reduced to 2.5 meters, provided that the exhaust air from the transit
vent shaft is directed away from and is not likely to affect the opening by natural
convection.
a. ‘The principle of monitoring building works being carried out above transit
structures has proved very effective. A number of potentially dangerous ground
investigation operations have been identified. Particularly important are ground
investigation works to avoid possible carelessness which may result in the drill bit
breaking through an underground transit tunnel, with the possibility of striking a
train.
b. Ground investigation works within the transit route protection zone shall require
apptoval by the Declarant prior to commencement. The process for gaining such
approval, and the information to be provided by the Lot Buyer/Owner, shall be the
satne as the stated in Sections 10.2 and 10.3
10.2.10 Underground drainage works in or for any existing or planned building which are to be
