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 processes
• b. 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
  recreation
• b. ECONOMIC agriculture, commerce and trade,
  industry, tourism
• c. 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.

7
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.
