Volume 2 - Zoning Ordinance

Comprehensive Land Use Plan 2015-2025
INTRODUCTION
Zoning is the division of a municipality into zones or sub-zones (e.g. commercial, residential, industrial, and institutional, etc.) according to present
and potential uses of land to maximize regulate and direct their use and development in accordance with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. It takes
the form of locally enacted ordinance which provides, among others, regulations affecting uses allowed or disallowed in each zone or sub-zones,
conditions allowing them, and procedures on evaluating deviations.
Zoning is concerned primarily with the use of land and the regulation of development through imposition of building heights, bulk, open space and
density provision in a given area.
1.0 BENEFITS
The benefits attributed to zoning are as follows:
1. Optimized use of land based on, among others, suitability/capability, e.g. use of prime agricultural land for agricultural purposes and high
value areas for intense urban developments.
2. Promotion of public health and safety through compatible arrangement of various land uses, e.g. buffering between residential and
industrials zones and through standards for environmental protection and conservation.
3. Preservation of desirable character and real estate values of zone or sub-zone through standards intended to facilitate high quality and
appropriate developments.
4. Promotion of the rational and orderly growth of the municipality by employing a system that allows the adequate evaluation of development
proposals in both public and private lands.
2.0 LEGAL BASES
Local government's authority to enact and apply zoning regulations is derived from the state's exercise of its police powers to make, ordain and
establish reasonable laws, statutes or ordinances which promote the general welfare. This authority is specified and defined in a number of laws and
directives.
