COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLANBy:ERICKA VILABRYAN RIVERA

LAND•Land is viewed as a shared natural resource to

be conserved and cared for with due regard for its effect on society as a whole and for the conditions in which it will be passed on to future generations.

•Land is a property – a private commodity which can be owned, used, bought or sold for personal comfort and profit.

LAND USEIt refers to the manner of

utilization of land, including its allocation, development and

management.

LAND USE PLANNING• It refers to the rational and judicious approach of

allocating available land resources to different land using activities and for different functions consistent with the overall development vision or goal of a particular city.

• It refers to a document embodying a set of policies accompanied by maps and similar illustrations which represent the community’s desired pattern of population distribution and a proposal for the future allocation of land to the various land-using activities.

OBJECTIVES OF LAND USE PLANNING•To promote efficient utilization, acquisition and

disposition of land to ensure the highest and best use of land

•To direct, harmonize and influence discussions and activities of private and public sectors relative to the use and management of lands

•To reconcile land use conflicts and proposals between and among individuals, private and government entities relative to the present and future need for the land

OBJECTIVES OF LAND USE PLANNING

•To promote desirable patterns of land uses to prevent wasteful development and minimize the cost of public infrastructure and utilities and other social services

•To preserve areas of ecological, aesthetic, historical and cultural significance

LAND USE PLANSAMPLES

National Land Use and Allocation Scheme

•Land Classification•Land Reclassification•Land Sub-Classification•Zoning•Land Use Conversion

Concepts Related to Land Use•Reversible Uses

When the inherent features and characteristics of the land have not been considerably altered or modified such that the soil horizon, landform and structure remain intact so that the land can be reverted to its former use or original condition.

•Irreversible UsesWhen land is subject to applications which brought about changes, alteration or modifications so much so that it preempts the original use or it is physically impossible to restore the land to its previous state or condition.

•Multiple Land Uses• Combining multiple land uses, whether

reversible or irreversible, in an orderly and desirable pattern• Land is finite and supply is infinite• Demand is ever increasing• Competition exists• Land is flexible

•Compatible and Incompatible Land UsesSome land uses are innately compatible while others are completely incompatible. Compatible Land Uses can coexist harmoniously and effectively in an orderly management.

•Highest and Best Use of the Land• The use of land which generates the

maximum profit without negative consequences especially on the environment• Land should be used in such manner

consistent with its natural qualities to maximize its productivity and also adhere to the principles of sustainable development

COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN

What is CLUP?•Comprehensive Land Use Plan is a

document embodying specific proposals for guiding, regulation growth and development of a city or municipality.

Rationale for Formulation or Revision of a CLUP•To achieve better quality of life•To guide the orderly development of a

city/municipality to promote the health, safety, welfare and convenience of the population

•To promote sustainable development•To preserve special natural features and

environmentally critical areas•To translate socio-economic policies into physical

policies and plans

•To comply with the requirement of Article 41 of the Implementing Rules and Regulations of the Local Government Code 1991 (Sec. 20, RA 7160)

•To provide guidelines for the appropriate use of the natural resources

•To allocate land for settlements, industries and other urban uses on land least suitable for agricultural and farming uses;

•To serve as a basis for reclassifying and converting land•To reflect the changes in the physical, social and

economic characteristics of the community•To incorporate changes in the goals and objectives of

the community

MAPS/MAPPING•A graphical representation of a place or

particular phenomena or themes in an area•A reduced and simplified model of reality

containing geographic information. A graphic depiction of all or part of a geographic realm where the real-world features have been replaced with symbols in their correct spatial location at a reduced scale

Elements of Map•Map Title•Legend•Date and Author•North Arrow

•Geographical Coordinates• Longitude• Latitude

•Scale• Graphic Scale• Numerical/Functional

Types of Maps•General Purpose – shows the suite of physical and

cultural features at the same timee.g., Reference Map, Base Map

• Thematic – depicts one single feature of the earth’s surface representing one or two themes

e.g., Topographic Map, Climate Map, Hydro Geologic Map, Slope Map, Soil Map, Land Classification Map, Population Density Map, Cadastral Map, Land Use Map, General Land Use Map/Plan, Urban Land Use Map/Plan, Zoning Map

•Analytical – illustrates the derived results from the analysis of two or more variables according to desired outputs.e.g., Erosion Hazard Map, Land Capability Map, Soil Sustainability Map, Development Constraints Map, Land Management Unit, Land Sustainability Map

PLANNING ORGANIZATIONS•Regional Planning• National Economic Development Authority• National Land Use Committee• Regional Development Council• Provincial Development Council• Provincial Land Use Committee• Sanggunian Panlalawigan

•Urban Planning• Housing and Urban Development Coordinating

Council• Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board• Regional Land Use Committee• Municipal/City Development Council• Barangay Development Council• Sanggunian Panglunsod/Bayan• Barangay Council

Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board•The planning, regulatory and quasi-

judicial instrumentality of government for land use development.

Town Planning and Zoning Assistance Program•Provide technical assistance in CLUP

preparation•Identification and zoning of site for socialized

housing•Ratification of land use plans and zoning

ordinances

Real Estate Management Program•Formulation of design standards and

guidelines of subdivisions and condominiums•Issuance of Permits and Licenses

Land Use Enforcement Plan•Monitoring of all projects issued

permits by LGUs and HLURB•DZA Supervision•Adjudication of complaints
