A Proposed Philippine Maritime Naval Base Operation in CALABARZON Region
A. Vital Statistics
Total Lot Area 19 Hectares / 19,000 sq.m
Lot Type Sea-side Lot
Location Barangay Pagkilatan, Batangas City
Adjoining Roads/Boundaries 16m. wide Batangas-Batangas-Lobo Road
B. Application of Rule 7 of NBC
Classification of Occupancy Group D - Institutional;
Division D-1 – Institutional, where personal
liberties of inmates are restrained or quarters
of those rendering of those rendering public
assistance and maintaining order and peace.
Zoning Classification GI (General Institution) – a community to
national level of institutional use of
occupancy, characterized mainly as a low-
rise, medium rise or high-rise building
structure or medical, government service,
administrative and related activities.
C. Application of Rule 8 of the NBC
AMBF AMBF= TLA - TOSL AMBF = TLA - TOSL 9.5 Hectares
PSO As per code 50% of TLA 9.5 Hectares
ISA As per code 20% of TLA 3.8 Hectares
USA As per code 30% of TLA 5.7 Hectares
MACA MACA = PSO + ISA 50% + 20% = 70% of 13.3 Hectares
TLA
TOSL As per code 50% of TLA 9.5 Hectares
Computations:
a. Allowable Maximum Building Footprint
AMBF = 19 hectares – (19 hectares(0.50))
AMBF = 9.5 hectares
b. Percentage of Site Occupancy (PSO)
PSO = 19 Hectares x 0.50
PSO = 9.5 Hectares
c. Impervious Surface Area (ISA)
ISA = 19 Hectares x 0.20
ISA = 3.8 Hectares
d. Unpaved Surface Area (USA)
USA = 19 Hectares x 0.30
USA = 5.7 Hectares
e. Maximum Allowable Construction Area (MACA)
MACA = PSO + ISA
MACA = (19(0.50)) + (19(0.20))
MACA = 13.3 hectares
f. Total Open Space Within Lot (TOSL)
TOSL = 19 Hectares x 0.50
TOSL = 9.5 Hectares

Thesis/Project Title: Proposed Regenerative Convention Center
A. Vital Statistics
Total Lot Area 65,874 sq. m.
Lot Type Corner Through Lot
Location Clark Freeport Zone, Pampanga
Adjoining Roads/Boundaries C.M. Recto Highway and Centennial Road
B. Application of Rule 7 of NBC
Classification of Occupancy Group H – Assembly for less than 1000
(Cultural and/or Recreational);
Division H-1 – Recreational, which are
assembly buildings with stage and having an
occupant load of less than 1000;
Zoning Classification PRE (Park Structures, Recreation and
Entertainment) – a range of recreational uses
of occupancies, characterized as mainly as a
low-rise or medium-rise building/structure
for low to medium intensity recreational or
entertainment functions.
C. Application of Rule 8 of NBC
AMBF AMBF= TLA-TOSL AMBF = TLA-TOSL 59,212 sq.m
PSO As per code 80% of TLA 49,406 sq.m
ISA As per code 15% of TLA 13,175 sq.m
USA As per code 5% of TLA 3,294 sq.m
MACA MACA = PSO + ISA 80% + 15% = 95% of 62,580 sq.m
TLA
TOSL As per code 50% of TLA 32,937 sq.m.
Computations:
a. Percentage of Site Occupancy (PSO)
PSO = 65,874 sq.m. x 0.80
PSO = 49,046 sq.m.
b. Impervious Surface Area (ISA)
ISA = 65,874 sq.m. x 0.15
ISA = 13,175 sq. m.
c. Unpaved Surface Area (USA)
USA = 65,874 sq.m. x 0.05
USA = 3,294 sq.m.
d. Maximum Allowable Construction Area (MACA)
MACA = PSO + ISA
MACA = (65,874 sq.m.(0.80)) + (65,874 sq.m.(0.15))
MACA = 62,580 sq.m.
e. Total Open Space Within Lot (TOSL)
TOSL = 65,874 sq.mx 0.50
TOSL = 32,937 sq.m.

USA As per code 5% of TLA 12, 132. 80 sq.m
MACA MACA = PSO + ISA 80% + 15% = 95% of 230,523.20 sq.m
TLA
TOSL As per code 50% of TLA 121,328 sq.m.
Computations
a. Allowable Maximum Building Footprint
AMBF = 242,656 sq.m.– 121,328 sq.m.
AMBF = 121,328 sq.m.
b. Percentage of Site Occupancy (PSO)
