HLURB and its role in comprehensive land use

planning

Comprehensive land use planning and CLUP

• It is a structured decision making process that deals with how land is used in a specific planning area such as an LGU in order to answer three basic questions:1. Where are we now?2. Where do we want to go?

3. How will we get there?

• It focuses on the arrangement of buildings, roads, water and sewer lines

A CLUP on the other hand is the end product of the planning process.

It consists of a map showing how the use of land in a specific area will be regulated, as well as a written document containing a profile of the community, its vision and the strategies on how it will achieve its vision.

A CLUP is also accompanied by a zoning ordinance.

Value of CLUP for LGUs

• Provides legal justification for zoning laws

• Provides a guide for investors where businesses can be located • Helps a community define itself, it can help a community maintain

the character or quality of life desired by residents and the power to chart their own future

• It can help a community inventory its assets and serve as a

springboard for economic development strategy (SWOT) • It can help leverage grants

Key players in the CLUP process• PREPARATION

a. Planning officers (MPDC, CPDC) in charge of preparation of work program, time frame and logistical requirements, conduct of the processesb. Sanggunian Bayan - approval of logistical support. budget, ad hoc- technical working groups (TWG),

• REVIEW PLUC if component cities and municipalities or RLUC if HUC, ICC

• APPROVAL Sanggunian Panlalawigan or HLURB

The planning process – step 1• WHERE ARE WE NOW? (Utilize GIS)

This will involve data gathering and situational analysis of the various sectors: a. SOCIAL – education, health, housing, social welfare/services, protective services, sports and recreationb. ECONOMIC – agriculture, commerce and trade, industry, tourismc. INFRASTRUCTURE – transportation, power, water, information and communication technology

Step 2

• WHERE DO WE WANT TO GO ?

A visioning workshop will be conducted to determine the consensus of the stakeholders as to how they want the LGU to look like in the future.

Step 3

• HOW DO WE GET THERE?

This will involve developing strategies, action plans, as well as limitations on land use, directed towards achieving the vision for the LGU.

CLUP addresses “Where do we locate?” & NOT How do we get the Money to finance projects?

Step 4 - Putting it all together

• Writing down the plan

• Preparing the map– Suggestion for all municiplaities to utilize a

uniform GIS software (For Step 1 and 4)– For cost effectiveness, use GIS for tax mapping,

license and permits and monitoring of development ASIDE FROM THE CLUP.

Step 5 - plan review• Provincial land use committee (PLUC) - reviews plans for component cities and

municipalities – Composition

Provincial planning and development coordinator - chairmanHLURBProvincial agriculturist NGO representative provincial development council DENR DARDTI DPWHDOT DILG

• Regional Land Use Committee –(RLUC) – reviews plans for indepedent componentt cities and Highly urbanized cities .– same composition. But chaired by NEDA, plus HUDCC plus DOTC, DOST, NGOs

Approval

For component cities and municipalities - Sanggunian panlalawigan

For independent component and highly urbanized cities, and cities and municipalities of Metro Manila- HLURB

To review and update CLUP, the cycle is repeated.

Role of HLURB in CLUP• Under E.O. 648• It prescribes the guidelines in the preparation of the

CLUPs.• It conducts capacity building training in CLUP

preparation for LGUs• It gives assistance to LGUs in the preparation of their

CLUPs.• It approves the CLUPS of HUC, ICCs and cities and

municipalities of Metro Manila• It sits as member of the Regional Land Use Committee

(RLUC) and Provincial Land Use Committee (PLUC) which review the plans

Status of CLUPs

• 86% (1407/1635)of LGUs have approved CLUPs

• 14% of LGUs do not have approved CLUPs• 24%(334/1407 )of LGUs are in the process of

updating their CLUPS
