P.R. Laws tit. 23, § 30a
The purpose of §§ 30a—30g of this title is to ensure that the minimum basic services necessary for everyday living be provided for the new vicinities which are being created alongside of the growing urban areas, including multistory buildings regardless of the zoning district in which located. The slightest observation of the constitution of our old vicinities discloses at once that a vicinity is not merely a conglomerate of dwellings. Services and facilities such as concern education, health, recreation, safety, commerce, cultural and social interchange, and religious expression, have been an indispensable complement to the old vicinities. The anticipation of the need of making such basic services available to the new housing settlements — the new vicinities of the city — is grounded in the facilities and services already available in the existing vicinities, in response to the needs felt. To these ends, the Permit Management Office is hereby authorized to require certain minimum facilities in approving future housing developments and multistory buildings as hereinafter provided.
