REFERENCE USES OR CHARACTER OF OCCUPANCIES OR TYPE OF BUILDING/STRUCTURE: Multi-family dwelling units located in residential condominium (R-5) building/structures regardless of number of storeys
Minimum Required Parking Slot, Parking Area & Loading Space Requirements:
Present Provision:	Proposed Amendment:
Units with a gross floor area of from 18.00 to 22.00 sq. meters — provide one (1) pooled parking slot* for every eight (8) units or for a fraction thereof, e.g., another slot* shall be provided if there are more than eight (8) units but less than sixteen (16) units, etc.;	Units with a gross floor area of from 18.00 to 22.00 sq. meters — provide one (1) pooled parking slot* for every eight (8) units or for a fraction thereof, e.g., another slot* shall be provided if there are more than eight (8) units but less than sixteen (16) units, etc.;

WHEREAS, Subdivision and Housing Developers Association posits, among others, that: (1) Land values and construction costs are increasing, but housing price ceilings are not regularly reviewed, which leads to sub-optimal utilization of real estate; (2) the current RIRR of PD 1096 requires at least one (1) parking slot for each open market unit (PhP4,000,000 and above selling price). However, if parking ratios are determined not only by area of the condominium unit but also by the selling price, most projects in Metro Manila will require 1:1 parking ratio considering the increase in construction cost. This could, in-turn, result in decline in the housing production; DETACa

WHEREAS, the present Revised Implementing Rules and Regulations (RIRR) of Presidential Decree (PD) 957 states that the parking slot requirements for residential condominium shall be in accordance with the provisions of PD 1096, without reference to residential condominium price ceiling;

WHEREAS, Batas Pambansa 220 and PD 957, as reiterated in the Memorandum Circular No. 13, series of 2017 of the Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board, provided the floor price of open market (PhP4,000,000.00) without requiring a minimum parking space for the same;

WHEREAS, after a comprehensive discussion and review of the abovementioned provisions, the Board of Consultants recommends to modify the same in order to adapt to and cope with the inevitable increases and changed in land values and construction costs;

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AS IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED the Board of Consultants indorses to the Secretary of Public Works and Highways its recommendation to modify the provisions in Table VII.4 providing the Minimum Required Parking Slot, Parking Area & Loading Space Requirements for residential condominium building/structures in the RIRR of PD 1096, the amended provisions shall reflect as:
