McMicking, a Manila-born military and businessman of Scottish and Spanish-Filipino ancestry, who is married to the former Mercedes Zobel. Zoning was initially done by the National Urban Planning Commission in 1948. Col. Jaime C. Velasquez took over as the chief zone planner in 1952. Makati has 4 zones: administrative (for office buildings along Ayala and Buendia Avenues), commercial (Makati and Magallanes Commercial Centers), residential (Forbes, San Lorenzo, Bel Air, etc.), and industrial (factories along Pasong Tamo, the South Superhighway, and some north of Buendia).
