Board Resolution No. R-595

Series of 1997

Interim Review and Approval Process for Comprehensive Land Use Plans (CLUPs) of Local Government Units (LGUs) Without Approved Comprehensive Provincial Land Use Plans

WHEREAS, Sec. 2 (d) of Executive Order No. 72, states that, “The Regional Land Use Committee (RLUC) shall review the Comprehensive Land Use Plans (CLUPs) of provinces, highly urbanized cities, and independent component cities. It shall review such plans to ensure their consistency with the Regional Physical Framework Plan (RPFP) and national policies set forth by the NLUC”;

WHEREAS, Sec. 2 (e) of Executive Order No. 72, further states that, “Pursuant to LOI 729, s. 1978, EO 648, s. 1981, and RA 7279, the Comprehensive Land Use Plans of provinces, highly urbanized cities and independent component cities shall be reviewed and ratified by the HLRB to ensure compliance with national standards and guidelines”;

WHEREAS, the guidelines for the review and approval of Comprehensive Land Use Plans (CLUPs) for Component Cities and Municipalities, Highly Urbanized Cities and Independent Component Cities, Cities and Municipalities of Metro Manila, and Provinces were approved per Board Resolution No. 561 dated 21 November 1994 and Board Resolution No. 569 dated 20 March 1995, respectively;

WHEREAS, the said guidelines do not present an explicit procedure for review and ratification to be followed by the LGUs in the absence of an Approved Comprehensive Provincial Land Use Plan (CPLUP);

WHEREAS, an interim review and approval process for the LGUs without approved CPLUPs is required to prevent a hiatus in the review and approval process of CLUPs given the three (3) months period to complete the review (per Sec. 2 [g] of EO 72), otherwise the same shall be deemed consistent with the law, and therefore valid.

WHEREAS, the guideline only applies to Regions whose, Provincial Land Use Committees (PLUCs) and Regional Land Use Committees (RLUCs) REFUSE to review the Comprehensive Land Use Plans (CLUPs) nor the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP) refuse to approve the same due to the ABSENCE of approved Comprehensive Provincial Land Use Plans (CPLUCs). The guideline does not apply to Regions with organized PLUCs/RLUCs who are WILLING to review CLUPs of Component Cities and Municipalities and CLUPs of Highly Urbanized Cities and Independent Component Cities.

WHEREFORE, be it RESOLVED, as it is hereby RESOLVED that the Interim Review and Approval Process for CLUPs or LGUs Without Approved Comprehensive Provincial Land Use Plans hereto attached as Annexes “A” and “B”, and Charts A & B, be APPROVED as it is hereby APPROVED.
