MANGALDAN
– The mayor of this bustling town said that the already approved Comprehensive
Land Use Plan (CLUP) had just undergone its first review last Friday at the
Sangguninang Panlalawigan (provincial board) before becoming a law.
“We just
have our first hearing of our CLUP at the provincial board,” cited by Mayor
Bona Fe D. Parayno after she was told that Congressman Christopher de Venecia
called the four mayors of the Fourth District to emulate Dagupan City whose
CLUP awaits approval at the National Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board.
Milagros
Padilla, chief of the Municipal Development, Planning,
& Coordination, furnished Northern Watch the document that shows the
then proposed CLUP 2016-2026 had its public hearing last February 10, 2017 at
the Macario Ydia Development Center (MYDC).
The hearing was led by members of the Committee on Zoning Ordinance of
this town Sangguniang Bayan (legislative council) chaired by Councilor Arnel Y.
Fabia.
Padilla
said the Committee was consolidating in that hearing the recommendations and
feedback they got from the various sectors who attended it.
“The
document helps the decision makers and stakeholders in the rational allocation,
judicious utilization of the various but limited resources of the municipality
and the sustainable use of physical and socio-economic resources, its proper
allocation and regulation. This includes guidance on how to make decisions on
public and private land development proposals, cooperative efforts and issues
of pressing concern, such as farmland preservation. The CLUP provides direction
for future activities for a 10-year period after plan adoption”.
The CLUP,
according to the document given by Padilla, guides the leaders in demarcating
the areas which will strategically yield optimum production and increased
efficiency of resources of the local government unit here. They are the basis
of the municipality’s Zoning Ordinance.
Before an ordinance like the CLUP passed by
the sanggunian of the component cities and municipalities would become a total
law, it should first be reviewed by the Provincial Board to determine whether
the ordinance is within the scope of the prescribed powers of the legislative
body and the mayor who signed it into law, according to the Local Government
Code of 1991.
