In compliance with the Local Government Code of 1991, Valenzuela City has created
and continuously revised its Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) that aims to
rationalize the allocation of land resources for various economic projects and social
activities.
With the City Government’s thrust of delivering excellent public service, it strives to
constantly improve and find ways to efficiently utilize the city’s resources and execute
projects that benefit Valenzuelanos.
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan (2019-2028) aims to create appropriate planning
and control mechanisms to guide all land use and development decisions in the city for
the coming years. It contains vital information about the city’s current status which can be
used as reference for the city’s decision makers in master planning for a dynamic urban
development.
With the untiring efforts and dedication of the City Planning and Development Office
and other concerned offices and agencies, the updated CLUP will be of valuable help in
uniting all stakeholders to achieve the common goal of creating a more vibrant Valenzuela
City.

The revision of the existing COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN (CLUP) of
the City of Valenzuela, is to reduce poverty and to promote inclusive development. These
gains, allowed us to spend more on things that redound to the benefit of the people:
education, health, social services, and infrastructure. This Comprehensive Land Use Plan
adopts participatory process in determining the fiscal and institutional action plans to
effectively implement the same using local resources. We know that economic growth is
essential, but we need to invest directly in health, education, peace morale, comfort
convenience and the general welfare of the inhabitants of Valenzuela City. The
multidimensional poverty index serves as a gauge for monitoring the outcomes of several
human development strategies that can affect future income. However, as long as we
remain united, working together and complementing each other along the straight path, we
will overcome any obstacles that may come our way towards an equitably progressive
future. Finally, my profound appreciation extends to all those authors and individuals,
whose works have been consulted from time to time and from which we may have
unconsciously lifted wisdom and ideas. To all these fine people, my heartfelt gratitude and
MABUHAY!!!

MESSAGE
The Local Government Code of 1991 provides that the local government units shall continue
to prepare their respective comprehensive land use plans, enacted through zoning ordinance
which shall be the primary and dominant bases for future use of land resources. It is through this
principle which has paved the way for City Council of Valenzuela to create and establish Ordinance
No. 79, Series of 2010, otherwise known as “An Ordinance Prescribing the Comprehensive Land
Use and Zoning of the City of Valenzuela Pursuant to the Local Government Code of 1991 and
Other Pertinent Laws.”
Since the time of the ordinance’s inception, carefully studied zoning policies have been
implemented by the local government of Valenzuela to ensure that its land use safeguards the
balanced coexistence of its residents and industrial investors. Furthermore, it aims to regulate the
location and use of buildings and land, in such a manner as to obviate the danger to public safety
caused by undue interference with existing or prospective traffic movement on streets and
thoroughfares.
On the publication of the latest Comprehensive Land Use Plan of the City of Valenzuela
2019-2028, climate change agenda and disaster risk reduction policies are substantially presented
as among the local government’s priority considerations. This is a reflection of commitment of the
City Government of Valenzuela to abide by our nation’s loud call to uphold the livability of our
country despite the challenges that confront our society and our people.
It is with great honor and pride that I congratulate the local government of Valenzuela,
especially the City Planning and Development Office, for the creation of the Comprehensive Land
Use Plan that shall guide our zoning policy implementation for the next 10 years. I am confident
that through our concerted efforts to make Valenzuela City a better place, we are blazing the right
trail towards greater heights.
Mabuhay ang lahat ng Valenzuelano at ang Pamahalaang Lungsod!

Valenzuela City
1 BRIEF PROFILE OF THE CITY

1.1 Brief History
The City of Valenzuela was formerly known as Polo and was originally carved from the
town of Meycauayan, Bulacan. It was in 1623 when it was first established as an
independent town through the efforts of Father Juan Taranco and Don Juan Monsod. It
was on July 21, 1960 when President Diosdado Macapagal signed Executive Order No.
401 that the Municipality of Valenzuela was instituted as a component local government
unit of the Province of Bulacan. The municipality has been aptly named after its most
renowned hero, Dr. Pio Valenzuela.
Since then, the municipality has gone through many radical changes. From witnessing
countless battles during the Spanish, American and Japanese occupations, to being an
idyllic center of agriculture and fishery, and to becoming a recipient of the urban overspill
of what was once known as the Greater Manila Area (GMA). Subsequently, on November
7, 19751, by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 824, Valenzuela was politically and
administratively separated from the Province of Bulacan and became part of Metropolitan
Manila. Valenzuela's economy flourished and its population swelled significantly.
On February 14, 1998, then President Fidel V. Ramos signed Republic Act No. 8526,
converting the Municipality of Valenzuela into a highly urbanized city, making Valenzuela
the 12th city in Metro Manila and the 83rd in the Philippines. The Municipality of Valenzuela
- the gateway to the north became Valenzuela City - one of the country's premier business
and industrial centers.
Valenzuela City has demonstrated through the years how strong and vibrant the city is in
light of its unified vision and close coordination and cooperation between the city
government and its citizens. The efforts of both city leaders and constituents have not
gone unnoticed and have been recognized both locally and internationally. Among the
latest awards and citations earned by the city are the following: a 2015 Galing Pook Award
for Innovations and Excellence in Local Governance because of its Education 360°
Investment Program, 11th Place in the 2016 Cities and Municipalities Competitiveness
Index in the Highly Urbanized Cities Overall Ranking, and the 3rd Safest City in Southeast
Asia.

Valenzuela City
1.2 Demographic Profile
Valenzuela City had a population of Figure 1. Historical growth of population,

620,422 in 2015 based on the census 1903 to 2015
report of the Philippine Statistics Source of information: Philippine Statistics Authority
Authority (PSA). The city’s average
annual population growth rates (AAGR)
have been declining since reaching its
peak of 8.91% in 1975. The AAGR
between the census periods of 2000
and 2015 was reported to be 1.45%.
The most populated barangay in 2015

was Gen. T. De Leon with almost
90,000 people. The next two were
Marulas with almost 54,000 and Malinta
with about 48,000. Together, these
three accounted for almost 31% of the
city’s total population. They are
generally located at the city’s southern portion and the large population may be a result of
overspill from the adjoining cities of Kalookan (South) and Malabon.
The least populated barangays in 2015 were Poblacion (popn = 372), Pulo (popn = 1,103),
and Mabolo (popn = 1,217). The populations of these barangays have been declining
since census year 2007. These are located at the eastern part of the city and the decline
in population may be partly driven by factors such as flooding and limited urban space.

City of Valenzuela 2009-2018.

Valenzuela City
The city’s population is projected to reach nearly 746,000 by 2028. This assumes that
there will be a slight slowdown in the annual growth rates, which is typical of mature cities,
from the current rate of 1.45% to 1.4% during the period 2023-2028
1.3 Geographic Location
Valenzuela City is located at the northern Map 1. Location map

periphery of the National Capital Region
(NCR) and is 15 kilometers north of Manila
proper. It lies between 14° and 39’ and 14°
and 48’ north latitude and 120° and 54’ and
121° and 2’ east longitude. It is landlocked
and bound on the north by the City of
Meycauayan (Bulacan Province); on the east
by Kalookan City (North) and Quezon City;
on the south and southwest by the City of
Malabon; and on the northwest by the
Municipality of Obando (Bulacan Province).
1.4 Territorial Jurisdiction and

Barangay Subdivision
The city has an area of approximately

4,459.4 hectares, accounting for about
seven percent of the NCR’s total land area.
It is about one-fourth the size of Quezon City,
the largest city in Metro Manila, and about 21
times larger than Pateros, the smallest and only municipality in the NCR.
Valenzuela city has 33 barangays the largest of which is Gen. T. de Leon whose area is
about 367 has. The next two largest barangays are Ugong (around 207 has.) and
Malanday (about 296 has.). These three barangays account for nearly 22% of the city’s
total land area.
The city’s barangays are grouped into two congressional Districts I and II as well as into
five administrative areas. The latter is for the purpose of facilitating the identification of
the strategic location of projects or services that are to be implemented.
1.5 Physical Features & Environmental Condition
1.5.1 Topography and surface drainage
Topography
The highest point of elevation in Valenzuela City is about 38 meters above sea level which
is located in Barangay Bignay. The rest of the city has an average elevation of two meters
above sea level. The city has level to gently undulating slopes ranging from zero to 12%.

5|P a g e
Valenzuela City
Surface drainage
There are four major rivers in the city, namely, Meycauayan River, Polo River, Coloong
River, and Tullahan River. Meycauayan River forms the city’s northern boundary with the
Province of Bulacan and the City of Kalookan (North). This river originates from Kalookan
after traversing the Bulacan towns of Sta. Maria, San Jose del Monte, Marilao,
Meycauayan, and Obando. Tullahan river, on the other hand, flows through Malabon City
and Valenzuela City and delineates the latter’s southern boundary.
1.5.2 Climatological Conditions
Climate
The city falls under Type I climate based on the Modified Coronas Classification of
Philippine climate. It has two pronounced seasons which is dry from November to April
and wet for the rest of the year.
Temperature and humidity
The annual average temperature in the city ranges from 22.4 °C to 31.8 °C with a mean
of 27.1 °C. The highest temperature was recorded during the month of April at 34.8 °C
while the lowest was in the month of January at 20.1 °C.
Relative humidity, on the other hand, varies from 65% to 85 % with an average of 77%.
Humidity is low from December to May due to the northwest monsoon and trade winds are
high from June to November due to the southwest monsoon.
Rainfall
It is estimated that the city has 149 rainy days in a year with an average rainfall of about
2,430 mm. The highest rainfall recorded was during the month of August (517.1mm) while
the lowest was recorded during the month of February (7.4mm).
1.5.3 Hydrogeological Features
Geology/rock formation
About 13% of Valenzuela is characterized by active tidal flats. These are mostly located
in Area V (Barangays Arkong Bato, Balangkas, Bisig, Coloong, Isla, Mabolo, Palasan,
Pariancillo Villa, Poblacion, Pulo, Tagalag and Wawang Pulo).
The eastern section of the city is, in turn, generally characterized by gently undulating
moderate dissected tuff lower piedmont. Mostly found in Areas I and II and portions of
Areas III and VI, these locations have more stable soils and are less prone to flooding.
1.5.4 Conservation Areas and other Special Interest Areas
Historical, cultural and natural heritage sites
The city has several historic landmarks such as:
6|P a g e
Valenzuela City
• Arkong Bato Boundary Arc – Bulacan and Rizal Provincial boundary Marker built by the

Wetlands
The city’s wetlands extend to about 141 has. and are located in Barangays Balangkas,
Bisig, Tagalag, and Wawang Pulo. Aside from being a natural catch basin, these areas
are seasonal homes to migratory birds. The city government has already programmed the
establishment of a Fishing Village in Barangay Tagalag.

Hydro-meteorological hazards
• Flood
The western part of the city is historically prone to flooding particularly from Barangay
Tagalag to Isla. This part of the city has elevations of only one to five meters above sea
level.2
• Severe wind
Both densely and less built-up areas in the city are prone to wind damages. In the densely
built areas of the city, there are high structures that are prone to wind damages. These
include, among others, high rise buildings, high tension wires, cell site towers and masts,
and billboards. In less built-up areas, there are large open areas (open fields and
fishponds) that are without wind brakes such as trees and tall buildings and where the
average structures are lightly built.3
• Storm surge
Historically, there is no recorded incident of storm surges from Manila Bay that damaged
areas in the city. However, based on the findings of the vulnerability assessment done
under the GMMA READY Project,4 if a tropical cyclone with wind speed of 54 kph to 117
kph and over will occur in the area of NCR, six barangays of Valenzuela City will be

moderately susceptible to storm surges coming from the Manila Bay Area. About 248 has.
or nearly % of the total land area of the city will be flooded and about 28,000 or roughly
5% of the city’s total population will be affected.
• Temperature rise
There is an increasing trend in the observed temperature based on records available from
1961-2013. The average annual mean temperature measured at the Science Garden in
Quezon City is equal to 1.46 C. There is also an increase in the number of days when
temperatures are higher than 35 C.5
Geological hazards
Geological hazards in the city are mainly related to earthquakes. There are reportedly
three earthquake scenarios that may cause damage to the city. These are: i) a magnitude
7.2 West Valley Fault (WVF) earthquake; ii) a magnitude 7.9 Manila Trench Earthquake;
and iii) a model of the 1863 Manila Bay Earthquake. The first scenario is considered to be
the most likely since the WVF is “already considered to be nearing its active phase.”6
• Ground shaking
The primary cause of casualties and damage during earthquakes is ground shaking which
is measured through the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology’s
(PHIVOLCS) Earthquake Intensity Scale (EIS). A magnitude 7.2 WVF earthquake will
result to Intensity Low 8 earthquake category (very destructive) according to PHIVOLDS’s
EIS scale which may affect the entire city.
Liquefaction
Based on PHIVOLCS’s projection, liquefaction due to earthquake may affect the north-
wester portion of the city. While there has been no recorded history of liquefaction in these
areas, high ground subsidence of about 10.6 cm per year has already been reported. The
high rate of ground subsidence was also attributed to the intensive use of groundwater.7
Tsunami
It was also projected by PHIVOLCS that the western portion of the city is moderately
susceptible to tsunami-generated surges coming from Manila Bay under the following
scenarios:
• An 8.3 magnitude earthquake at the Manila Trench.

• An estimated tsunami height in Manila Bay of 3.5 m (mean sea level) or at 5.5 m during
high tide (+2 m from high tide).

Fires, explosions, and discharge of hazardous materials
Secondary impacts of earthquakes include incidents of fire, explosion, and discharge of

hazardous materials. According to the results of the Metro Manila Earthquake Impact
Reduction Study (MMEIRS) conducted in 2004, the city may be classified as a low to
slightly low (1-2) flammable area due to the presence of vacant and idle open spaces and
structures made of concrete.
The city was, however, rated as having high susceptibility to explosions that may result
from ground shaking due to the presence of several hazardous industrial facilities. On the
overall, the city was rated as having generally moderate to slightly high risk in terms of
fires that may be caused by a magnitude 7.2 earthquake.8
1.6.2 Climate change vulnerability assessment and disaster risk projection
The Local Climate Change Action Plan of City of Valenzuela (LCCAP) 2017-2022 provided
an assessment of the vulnerabilities of key development sectors to climate change and
disaster risk. These sectors include Social, Economic, Infrastructure, Environment, and
Land use whose vulnerabilities where assessed against flooding, typhoons and storm
surge, and temperature increase/drought.
Vulnerability and adaptability
Flood
• Affected population and land uses
Flood hazards potentially affect nearly 190,000 of the city’s population. It was noted in
LCCAP 2017-2022 that “the highest flooding reported were not in the western flood prone
areas which are regularly flooded during heavy inundations, but in areas near the
tributaries of the Meycauayan River and areas along the Tullahan River.” The highest
floods recorded during Typhoon Ondoy in 2009 was 3.75 m in Barangay Marulas near the
Tullahan River while flood depths reached 3.00 m in Barangay Veinte Reales during
Typhoon Habagat in 2012.

• Affected critical facilities and infrastructures
Flooding affects some of the city’s critical facilities which include:9
- Forty-four Evacuation Centers mostly in the western portion of the city. The buildings
themselves are not flooded but the immediately surrounding areas are which makes
access to them difficult.
- Four hospitals, three of which are privately owned and are located along McArthur
Highway in barangays Marulas and Malanday while the other is the city government-
owned Valenzuela City General Hospital (VCGH) along G. Lazaro St. in Barangay
Dalandanan. VCGH itself is not flooded but inundation in its surrounding areas also
makes access difficult.
- Forty government facilities such as Barangay Halls and Covered Courts some of
which are also used as Evacuation Centers. Also affected are Public Markets and
the SWM Transfer Station in barangay Lingunan.
9 These are based on the city’s Disaster and Climate Risk Assessment report.
18 | P a g e
Valenzuela City
- Twenty-nine Health Centers and Daycare Centers almost all of which are located in
the western part of the city.
- Police Community Precinct 5 along M.H. del Pilar Road and Fire Station at the 3S
Center both of which are in Barangay Poblacion.
Critical lifeline infrastructures that are affected by flood include:
- Three national roads are very susceptible to flooding which include M.H. del Pilar
Road, Coloong Road, and G. Lazaro Road.
- Four national roads are partially susceptible to flooding which include McArthur
Highway, Maysan-Novaliches Road, T. Santiago Road, and Karuhatan-GTDL Road
whose low-lying portions become submerged during flood events.
- Twenty bridges which include the two hanging bridges across Tullahan River in
barangay Ugong which are used by urban poor communities.
The details of the affected critical facilities and lifeline infrastructure are given in Appendix
1.
• Risk evaluation
The levels of risk of areas affected by flood were categorized in LCCAP 2017-2022 and
summarized in the table below:

Severe wind
• Risk assessment
The average wind speed in the various barangays ranges from a low of 121.24 kph in
barangay Marulas to a high of 159.89 kph in Tagalag. Cost of damages due to severe
winds which range from 140 kph to 159 kph were estimated to be highest in barangay
Bisig at about Php 315 million per sq.km. and lowest in Barangay Pulo at about Php 4
million per sq.km.
• Wind damage prone area
Buildings and structures in both densely built-up and less built-up areas may sustain
damages in the event of severe wind. Those that are most likely to be affected in the former
include among others high rise buildings, high tension wires, cell site towers and masts,
and billboards. In less built-up areas, average structures are prone to damages being
lightly constructed and lacking sufficient wind barriers especially those located in open
fields and fishponds.

Storm surge
• Affected population and land uses
There has been no recorded incident of storm surge in the city. However, in the event that
this occurs under the earlier cited tropical cyclone scenario, six barangays of the city will
be moderately susceptible to storm surges coming from the Manila Bay area. The affected
area may reach about 248 hectares and nearly 34,000 of the population may be affected.

• Risk evaluation
Barangays at the city’s western portion are susceptible to storm surge risks while those
tat the east are protected by the Polo River which acts as a flood barrier. The prevention
of flood from going eastwards is further complemented by flood gates in Wawang Pulo,
Pangkera, and Longos which prevent back flow from the Meycauayan River.
Temperature rise
Recorded mean temperatures in the last 5 decades have been reported to be increasing
at an annual rate of 1.46°C. The daily occurrence of temperatures greater than 35° C has
likewise been reported to be on the increase. There are hotter days and warmer nights as
well as less cold days during December, January, and February. There is probability of a
high recurrence of such events. The projected increase in the monthly mean temperature
ranges from 0.70° C to 12 C° in 2020 and from 1.7 C° to 2.4 C° in 2050.
The increasing temperature has resulted to the more frequent occurrence of typhoons.
Further increases in global temperature may result to more frequent and stronger ones.
Another effect of increasing temperature coupled with decrease in rainfall is drought. The
increasing frequency of El Niño events may cause the water level in La Mesa Dam to
reach critical levels resulting to water shortages in the city.
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivities of the various development sectors to each of the hazards were also
analyzed in LCCAP 2017-2022. The results are summarized in the following tables.
Table 7. Sensitivity analysis of the social sector

Hazard Sensitivity
Flooding 25 of 33 barangays and 38,000 households in both formal and informal housing areas
due to:
• Clogged drainage due to improper waste disposal.
• Settlements in low-lying areas and waterways.
• Settlements in danger zones (under power lines).
• Weak housing materials.
• Large number of government facilities affected during flooding.
• Significant population below poverty line.
• High unemployment in poor communities.
• Large volume of solid wastes ending up in waterways.
• Prevalence of diseases due to poor sanitation.
Typhoon and storm • Families living along waterway easements with makeshift houses made of
surge temporary or semi-permanent materials.
Drought • Families engaged in crop production and aquaculture.
• Young (0 to 9 years of age), elderly, and people with cardio-vascular conditions.
• Shortages in the supply of potable water supply may affect barangays with high
densities as well as in informal settlements.
• Urban green spaces may be reduced.
• Incidence of fires may increase.

Valenzuela City
Table 8. Sensitivity analysis of the economics sector

Hazard Sensitivity
Flooding • Caused by increased volume of rainwater, siltation and blockage of natural and
man-made drainage systems, and unregulated developments.
• Affected economic sectors include commercial, manufacturing, crop production,
and aquaculture.
• Effects include damages to assets, interruption of operations, and lowering of
productivity.
Typhoon and storm • Fishponds in the city’s northwestern portion and industries along Meycauayan River
surge are the most affected.
• Due to illegal structures along rivers, creeks, and waterways, clogging of waterways
due to dumping of solid waste, and inadequate drainage systems.
Drought • Most at risk are those engaged in crop production, aquaculture and livestock
production as well as commerce and industry.
• Due to water shortages that will hamper production and operations.

increase/ drought • Can cause the weakening of the structural integrity of structures, and increase the
demand for utility services such as water and power supply.
Table 10. Sensitivity analysis of the environment sector

Hazard Sensitivity
Flooding • Natural waterways that are most at risk are Tullahan and Meycauayan Rivers.
• Due to heavy siltation, sedimentation, scouring, indiscriminate dumping of waste,
and the proliferation of illegal structures on the riverbanks.
Typhoon and storm • Most at risk are the wetland areas near the Polo River such as those in Barangays
surge Balangkas, Bisig, Tagalag, and Wawang Pulo.
• Due to continuous loss of natural habitats, encroachment along easements and
waterways, and pollution from industries and households.
Drought • At risk are the city’s wetland area, bird sanctuary, and river ecosystem.
• Due to the expansion of urban development into these areas, pollution, over
extraction of ground water, and siltation, among others.
Table 11. Sensitivity analysis of the land use sector

Hazard Sensitivity
Flooding Affects several land uses including:
• About 573 hectares of formal and informal settlements at the city’s western portion.
• About 71 hectares of commercial and 2,010 hectares of industrial lands.
• Other land uses including public parks, cemeteries.
• Public offices such as the barangay halls near the city’s border with Malabon City
and Municipality of Obando in Bulacan.
Typhoon and storm • Areas most susceptible to are the fishponds at the western portion of the city.
surge • Also affected are high density development areas, particularly the informal
settlements located under the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines’ (NGCP)
power lines in Barangays Marulas, Gen. T. de Leon, and Mapulang Lupa.
Drought • All types of land uses cited above.
• Risks are aggravated by the declining quality of the natural environment and
unregulated developments.
Perceived threats
31 | P a g e
Valenzuela City
The LCCAP rated the threat level of the city to the above hazards to range from medium
to medium-high. The highest rated threat was drought, followed by typhoons, flooding and
storm surges. Drought was the foremost threat due to the nature of the resources that
were identified to be at risk. It can adversely impact the city’s potable water supply system
and natural resources thus affecting public health as well as the overall economy.
The sectors that were determined to be most at risk from the identified hazards were
environment and land use. Risks to the environment were attributed to the fragility of
natural resources and uncontrolled urban development. The relatively high rating of the
land use sector, in turn, was due to the magnitude of affected areas.

Adaptive capacity
The city’s adaptive capacity is focused on addressing the impacts of typhoon and flooding
through structural measures such as flood control and drainage and non-structural
measures such as emergency response mechanisms. However, adaptive capacities with
regard to drought and sea level rise were perceived to be low since there have been
minimal investments that have been put to address these. Priority has not been given
since the impacts of these hazards are not immediate as compared to floods and
typhoons.
The infrastructure sector’s capacity was rated the highest among the sectors that were
analyzed in LCCAP 2017-2022. This was attributed to the strong focus of the city
government in providing structural solutions to address water-related hazards. The social
and environment sectors were rated to have the lowest adaptive capacities.

Valenzuela City
The city was projected to have moderate levels of risk in terms of damaged structures,
casualties, and economic losses in the event of a magnitude 7.2 WVF earthquake. The
highest risks were projected to be in barangays Canumay and Lawang Bato due to the
presence of many industries and in Gen. T. de Leon, Karuhatan, Marulas, and Maysan
being densely built-up.10
The city’s Disaster and Climate Risk Assessment report further provided the following:
• Canumay may have the highest economic loss for Valenzuela with damages to
structures costing to approximately P12,032 million. Land use is mostly industrial
comprising 48.06% of the barangay’s area.
• Gen. T. de Leon may suffer the greatest number of casualties with an estimated 246
deaths and 4,177 injuries, as well as the greatest number of damaged structures. Land
use is generally residential which comprise 77.53% of the barangay’s area. Residential
areas are composed of 284.47 ha. of formal settlements and 2.79 ha. of informal
settlements.
• Karuhatan may also experience relatively higher damages to structures, economic

losses and casualties compared to other barangays. It is composed of several land

Details of the estimated damages are given in Appendix 3.
With regard to adaptive capacities, all barangays were reported to have access to financial
assistance and information on earthquake safety and evacuation procedures. With regard
to fire and other anthropological/man-made hazards, the city has the following prevention
and mitigation strategies:
• Implementation of relevant building and zoning regulations.

• Construction of 3S centers with fire stations.
• Augmentation of firefighting capacity of local BFP through locally funded firetrucks and
equipment.
• Training of Barangay Bantay Sunog volunteers and distribution of fire extinguisher for
volunteers' use.
• Training of VCDRRM SAR team in fire and hazardous material (HAZMAT) incidence
suppression and search and rescue and acquisition of HAZMAT Truck.
• Inclusion of fire hydrants in subdivision plan in new subdivision applications.
• Conduction of annual fire inspection by BFP.
Liquefaction
Still assuming the occurrence of a 7.2 magnitude WVF earthquake, it was projected in the
city’s Disaster and Climate Risk Assessment report that damages due to liquefaction may
be to the amount of Php34,798 million across 20 affected barangays. Liquefaction may

1.6.4 Key risk areas and threats
Climate related risks
The city is most vulnerable to drought considering that there have been minimal efforts
that have been undertaken to address this risk. It is least vulnerable to storm surge since
the threat level is low and key structural and non-structural measures to mitigate the risk
are already in place.11

In terms of the five development sectors that were analyzed, it was deemed that the most
vulnerable to multi-hazards are environment and land use. This was attributed to the
fragility of natural resources with regard to environment and the magnitude of affected
areas with regard to land use. The least vulnerable was perceived to be the economic
sector due to its market-driven and private sector-led nature.12

Composite risk map
Areas at the northwest and western portions of the city may be considered having relatively
higher risks since these are exposed to a greater number of hazards. These areas face
challenges in terms of combined risks with regard to liquefaction, tsunami, flood, and storm
surge. These risks are in addition to those posed by ground shaking and severe winds.
Land suitability map
Areas at the central and eastern portions of the city may be considered suitable for higher
intensity development if compared to its northwest and western parts. These areas are
generally affected by city-wide risks such as ground shaking and strong winds but are
mainly free from to liquefaction, tsunami, flood, and storm surge.

1.6.5 Mitigation measures
General measures
Most of the existing critical facilities, especially those under the City Government’s jurisdiction are
continually being retrofitted and upgraded to adaptive to the hazards in their areas. The Office of
Building Office together with the City Engineer conduct structural assessment of government
infrastructures. Designs of new government structures are also made adaptive and resilient to
hazards. As per private structures, the Office of the Building Official strictly requires structures with
three or more floors (9 meters and above) to have soil test analysis to assure that such buildings
are structurally sound underneath.
In terms of Information dissemination, the City Government thru the Public Information Office
ensures that the residents of Valenzuela City are knowledgeable in the evacuation procedures
during emergencies. The City External Services thru the Disaster Preparedness Office and
occasional assistance from the local chapter of the Philippine Red Cross, conducts trainings and
lectures on first aid and preparedness during earthquake and flood disasters.
The Building Official’s Office strictly implements standards of the National Building Code especially
on set-backs of structure from roadways to prevent any future road obstruction that may impede
emergency responders. The City Local Zoning Board on Appeals and Adjustments is also very
strict in the approval of proposed subdivision plans with regards the road width standards for
subdivisions and requires these proposed developments to include fire hydrants in their waterline
designs.
As per transport management, the City government already has plans to widen major roads in
Valenzuela City such as the Maysan-Novaliches Road, T. Santiago Rd. and Gen. T. de Leon Road
to ease up east to west travel within the city.
The Valenzuela City Disaster Risk Reduction Office (VCDRRMO) regularly updates its list of flood
evacuation site and open lot inventory for earthquake evacuation sites, furthermore the City
Government is in the process a Central Command Center for disaster response operation dubbed
as “ALERT Center” and several satellite government centers called “3S Centers” housing fire
stations, disaster response station and police precincts to further enhance the city’s disaster
response capability. The City Government has also identified evacuation centers that shall be used
in times of disasters.

Addressing hydro-meteorological risks
Mitigation measures to address hydro-meteorological risks have been identified in the city’s LCCAP
2017 to 2030. With regard to temperature increase, the “suggested options focus on enhancing the
city’s carbon sink, reducing the concentration of greenhouse gas emissions, creating open spaces
to retain areas with natural/soil cover, and reducing use of materials contributing to heat
absorption.” To address increased precipitation, the city’s LCCAP “suggested options focus on
enhancing the city’s flood control management, reducing the amount solid waste ending up in the
city’s waterways, relocation of households along waterways and other danger areas, and
enhancing the city’s Disaster Risk Reduction Management capability.” LCCAP 2017-2030 also
provided mitigation measures to address risks associated with typhoons, strong winds, storm surge,
and droughts/dry spells. The details if these are given in Appendix 5.
Addressing geological risks
On the other hand, mitigation measures to address geological risks have been identified in the
Contingency Plan for Earthquake in Valenzuela City. The Contingency Plan identifies activities to
de done and by which city office at key phases including Pre-Disaster, Disaster, and Post Disaster.
It also spells out Standard Operating Procedures to guide and harmonize the activities of the
responsible offices.
The office for command, control, and coordination is the Valenzuela City Disaster Risk Reduction
and Management Office (VCDRRMO). Its key support agencies are given below:

Disaster Phase
1. The objectives of this phase are to maintain peace and order, protection of property, rescue life
and containment of the situation/incident to prevent any further deterioration.
2. The PCP Commanders or Shift Supervisors of respective PCPs shall be the designated as the
Ground Commander and should be the first responder in their respective AORs hit by an
earthquake pending the arrival of the On-Scene Commander who will be in-charge to monitor,
control and manage the crisis management operations. The On-Scene Commander must
confer with the Ground Commander at the disaster area to get the initial information and brief
situation of the disaster site. The First Responder’s Procedure after the occurrence of an
earthquake are as follows:
• Assess the situation. Determine the priority of patients’ treatment based on the severity of
their condition.
• Established triage area that would divide victims into four categories:
- Those who are likely to live, regardless of what care they receive.
- Those who are likely to die, regardless of what care they receive.
- Those for whom immediate care might make a positive difference in outcome.
- Those are already dead.
• Notify the Chief of Police for the immediate Activation of Crisis Management Task Group
(CMTG) and recommend for deployment of special units to respond when necessary;
• Request for a standby medical ambulance team, fire truck and rescue van;
56 | P a g e
Valenzuela City
• Cordon and isolate the area from pedestrian/vehicular traffic;

• Establish identity of victims (age, sex, description, and clothing)
3. The Valenzuela PNP will establish an On-Scene Advanced Command Post (OSACP) at the
disaster site. All police action at the scene shall be directed from the ACP. Likewise, the
coordination of all other agencies operating at the disaster site shall be managed by On-Scene
Commander (OSC) from the ACP. The Chairman, Crisis Management Committee will be
notified of the establishment and location of the ACP;
4. In the event of an earthquake, it will be necessary to exercise strict control over access to the
disaster site in order to ensure that the emergency services are not deflected from their task
of saving lives, protecting property and safeguarding the disaster site;
5. A disaster site normally consists of 2 zones, namely, the inner cordoned zone and the outer
cordoned zone, both of which will be established by the Police. The Police will consult the
Chairman, Crisis Management Committee (CMC) as necessary on the establishment of the
inner cordoned zone;
6. Crisis Management Task Group will immediately be activated where the Chief of Police, VCPS
attending a disaster site will be designated as the On-Scene Commander. Each Task Group
under CMTG will command their own staff in the discharge of their duties, but the Chairman,
LDRRMC will be the overall coordinator of the activities of all member agencies at the disaster
site scene;
7. Members of the Security Teams of the CMTG will secure the outer cordoned zone surrounding
the disaster site, and representatives of other departments wishing to enter it will require Police
permission. If need be, Police will issue conspicuous vests or armbands to essential personnel
of rescuing units from LDRRMC for working within the outer cordoned zone.
8. Close liaison activities between the On-Scene Commander of CMTG of the Valenzuela PNP,
the Fire Services of the Valenzuela City Fire Department headed by City Fire Marshall and the
relevant LDRRMC Officers will be necessary, as it will coordinate the work of other member
agencies of the LDRRMC in handling media & public inquiries.
9. If the demand for emergency medical services exceeds the normal capacity of the single
nearest receiving hospital then a Medical Officer of City Health Department, who is a senior
emergency physician, will be sent to the disaster site to command and control the overall
medical response together with a Medical Team for appropriate medical services;
10. All Valenzuela PNP units shall be on full disaster response status until the situation normalizes.
a. Assist in the clearing of roads from debris and obstacles.

b. Coordination with Bureau of Jail Management and Penology for the evacuation of
prisoners/ criminals/ suspects of calaboose.
Post Disaster Phase
1. The CMTG will assume overall responsibility for the disaster site on the retrieval of human
bodies and remains, the identification of fatalities and the recovery and safe custody of
unattended property;
2. There will normally be an investigative commitment concerning death, injury or damage to
property. This responsibility calls for the preservation of evidence and the location of
witnesses.
3. Sub Task Group Commanders of CMTG will coordinate the relief measures by City Social
Welfare Department, Housing Department, and other bodies if necessary, at the scene with
the support of LDRRMC.
4. LDRRMC officers should liaise closely on site and discuss with other relevant departments to
determine the best on-site press release strategy to deal with media & public inquiries.
5. Cross-checking of data. Assist LDRRMC in cross-checking of damage report with pre-
emergency data obtained to facilitate the location of persons and to assess available
community resources for rehabilitation purposes;

1.7 Existing Land Use & Land Use Trends
1.7.1 Land use pattern
Existing land use Map 35. City form and structure

Source: Consultant
The growth of commercial land
use has been linear and are
mainly located along the city’s
major roads. Land uses between
these major roads are a mixture
of industrial, residential,
institutional, and neighborhood-
level commercial. Certain parts
of these areas are predominantly
industrial such as in the city’s
central and eastern portions.
Others are predominantly
residential and these
characterize most of the cities
western and southern parts.
The fishponds at the northwest

give the city a distinct character
which is quite unique in the NCR. Subsistence aquaculture is being practiced while some
enterprising property owners have established fishing resorts. Although under the
pressure of urbanization, these areas have remained as fishponds due to access
limitations characterized by narrow road rights of way that pass through densely built
areas. Extensive urban development is further hampered by the high cost of construction
due to flood risks, poor soils, and significant earth filling requirements.
Table 21. Table. Area of existing land uses 2018

Pockets of idle lands remain in many parts of the city which are sometimes used for the
planting of crops. The largest contiguous areas may be found at the northeast in
Barangays Bignay, Punturin and Lawang Bato. These areas are however experiencing
rapid urban development which are mainly residential. Due to high land prices and
increasing demand for urban land, it is most likely that sooner or later these idle lands will
soon be put into residential and other urban uses.
1.7.2 City form and structure
The city’s form and structure may be interpreted based on the existing road network layout
and land use pattern. The city basically has a grid structure that is defined by parallel
arteries – NLEX and McArthur Highway – which form the main western and eastern axes.
The major perpendicular roads are M.H. del Pilar St., T. Santiago St-Dulalia St., Maysan
Road, Gen. T. de Leon Road, and the newly constructed NLEX Segment 8.1. Between
these basic grid roads are local roads whose alignments observably developed in an
unplanned manner. There is no discernible pattern and rights-of-way are characteristically
narrow.
There are also several distinct nodes of activity. The major node revolves around the city
government center compound, and Valenzuela Town Center and People’s Park in
Barangay Karuhatan. This area is the major hub of city government administration, service
and trade as well as public recreation. The development of the Town Center and People’s
Park gave Valenzuela a distinct urban character by having a key point of convergence for
the people. There are also other nodal areas that function more as local and neighborhood
centers. These include i) the center of Poblacion where the church, plaza, and market are
located, ii) McArthur Highway-M.H. del Pilar Street junction in Barangay Malinta which is
a commercial hub, and iii) Malinta Exit in Barangay Paso de Blas which is also a
commercial center in the area.
Comparison of existing land uses in 2018 and proposed Comprehensive Land Use Plan
(CLUP) 2009-2018
• Commercial areas
59 | P a g e
Valenzuela City
CLUP 2009-2018 was anchored on a city form that was conceptualized as ‘Multi-Nodal
and Corridor-Based.’ This was to be realized by establishing a strong Primary Node
centered on the site of the City Government Center. This primary node was envisaged to
‘fuse together government, residential, retail, commercial, cultural, and institutional
activities thus creating a diverse region that brings together the interaction of work, live,
and play.’ To a large degree, this was achieved with the implementation of the highly
successful Valenzuela Town Center and People’s Park which complement the City
Government Center and other nearby government offices. This area was classified in
CLUP 2009-2018 as the city’s Commercial-1 zone which is equivalent to central business
district.
The Secondary Nodes that were identified in CLUP 2009-2018 continue to perform their
earmarked functions as ‘smaller business districts’. These areas were identified as
Poblacion, Junction of McArthur Highway and MH del Pilar Street in Barangay Malanday,
and Malinta Exit. Similarly, the identified Commercial Corridors mostly remain although
new ones have emerged such as along La Mesa Road in Barangay Marulas and Pio
Valenzuela Street in Barangay Ugong. However, the use of most lands at the north side
of Mindanao Avenue Extension will no longer be commercial after having been acquired
by government to be made the depot site of the Metro Manila Subway. The Secondary
Nodes and Commercial Corridors were classified as either Commercial-2 (moderate
density) or Commercial-3 zones (high density).
• Residential areas
CLUP 2009-2018 provided four categories of residential areas which acknowledged the
prevailing mixed-use nature of land uses in the city. Under a 60%:40% principle, the
favored uses are residential which are referred to as Dominant Uses. The ‘40%’shall
comprise Secondary Uses which may include commercial, institutional, industrial, parks
and recreation, etc.
The residential areas were categorized as either Basic Residential-2, Maximum

Residential-2, Maximum Residential-3, or Residential-5. Variations were based on
allowable uses and maximum heights of buildings. Secondary uses such as commercial
or industrial and other activities ‘shall be allowed under strict regulatory principles.’ Such
principles include, among others, buffering, environmental controls, and soliciting the
opinions of concerned communities prior to the granting of decisions to land use
applications.
The city’s northwest (Barangays Wawang Pulo, Tagalag, Coloong, etc.) was designated
in CLUP 2009-2018 as Basic Residential-2 intended for low-intensity developments.
These areas have also mostly developed as envisaged in CLUP 2009-2018 (residential
with neighborhood scale commercial, recreational, and institutional activities) although has
been recently reported to be experiencing densification due to growing requirements for
more residential space.
A large portion of the city was delineated as Maximum Residental-2 which are primarily
earmarked for ‘low-rise multi-level residential buildings for use as multi-family dwelling
units.’ These uses may also be supported by neighborhood scale commercial,
recreational, and institutional activities. CLUP 2009-2018 also allowed industrial uses in
this zone but only those ‘existing at the time of the passage of [this] ordinance.’ It is
observed that certain areas in the northeast such as in Barangays Lawang Bato and
Punturin have become predominantly industrial indicating a strong demand for new
industrial facilities therein.

The triangular area between Maysan Road, NLEX, and NLEX Segment 8.1 was classified
as Maximum Residential-3 zone. Mainly located in Barangays Parada and Paso de Blas,
this zone is intended for high intensity residential developments and is distinguished from
Maximum Residential-2 by allowing taller buildings and non-inclusion of General Industrial
in the list of allowable uses. This effectively resulted to industries that were present during
the passage of CLUP 2009-2018 to be classified as non-conforming uses such that,
among others, expansion of structures will not be allowed. This zone has also remained
fairly stable since there were no observed drastic shifts in land uses from those provided
in CLUP 2009-2018 to the existing land use map of 2018.
The designated Intense Residential-Commercial Areas in CLUP 2009-2018, particularly

north and south of the NLEX-C5 Northern Link (NLEX Segment 8.1) remain largely
residential with a mixture of neighborhood level commercial uses. High intensity growth
has not yet been experienced since the construction of most parts of NLEX Segment 8.1
was just recently finished and the entire alignment has not yet been completed. This area
was classified as Residential-5 zone.
• General Industrial areas
CLUP 2009-2018 designated certain areas at the center, north and east of the city as
General Industrial areas where light, medium and certain types of heavy industries shall
be allowed. This provision acknowledged the prevailing industrial land uses in these areas.
However, as earlier cited, industries have expanded to the north and northeast mostly in
Barangays Lawang Bato and Punturin.
• Other areas
These include those earmarked as General Institutional, Cultural, Parks and Recreation,
Fishpond, Utilities, Cemetery, and Waste Disposal Zones. These have likewise been
relatively stable although a slight reduction in the coverage of the Fishpond zone may be
observed.
Assessment of the implementation of CLUP 2009-2018
The City Government has been successful in the implementation of CLUP 2009-2018.
Among others, it has managed to realize the envisaged structure form. The Primary Node
was established anchored on the Town Center and People’s Park which has given a focal
point to the city’s urban growth pattern. The Secondary Nodes have been strengthened
and are thriving business centers on their own. The Malinta Exit, for example, has become
host to the Valenzuela Gateway Complex (VGC) Integrated Terminal which is an inter-
modal transportation facility which has strengthened its role as a Secondary Node.
Most of the more specific objectives of CLUP 2009-2018 have been achieved while some
are continuing efforts on the part of the city government. A measure of the success the
implementation of CLUP 2009-2018’s objectives may be obtained from the vision-reality
gap analysis that was conducted by the city’s stakeholders when they prepared the city’s
Comprehensive Development Plan 2017-2022.

Planning regulation has been strengthened with the establishment of a fully-fledged Local
Zoning Office whose evaluation of proposals has been guided by the Zoning Ordinance’s
Implementing Guidelines. The Zoning Office further conducts regular monitoring of on-
going and completed developments to ensure compliance with zoning regulations. There
have also been significant increases in the number of applications for Locational
Clearance (LC). With regard to business establishments alone, the number of LCs that
were issued by the Zoning Office almost doubled during the period 2009 to 2017.

The City’s Local Zoning Board of Adjustment and Appeals (LZBAA) has been very active
and carefully reviews applications for variances and exceptions. From 2011-2018, it has
granted LCs without conditions to only 23% of appeals. These are cases where
66 | P a g e

proponents sought exception on use regulations but fully comply with the technical
requirements of the zoning regulations. About 53% of applications during the said period
were granted LCs with condition which are cases where proponents are required to
provide additional buffers, appropriate fences, and/or mitigate nuisance activities.

Challenges to the implementation of CLUP 2009-2018
Challenges were nonetheless encountered during implementation. CLUP 2009-2018 and

Zoning Ordinance No. 80 S. 2010 were reviewed by the Local Zoning Review Committee
(LZRC)13 from June to September 2014. The LZRC was composed of key members of the
City Council, Association of Barangay Chairperson, city government department heads
and officers along with representatives from the private sector and community
organizations. The review was done through a series of group meetings and discussions
and the findings were presented to barangay officials and in a public hearing. Another
multi-stakeholder review was held towards the end-term of the said CLUP in May 2018
during the Strategic Planning Workshop for the updating of the said CLUP. The findings
of these reviews highlighted the challenges encountered during implementation and are
briefly discussed below.
• Strong demand for industrial developments
Expand the General Industrial zone
There remains a strong demand for industrial developments that extend outside the areas
designated as General Industrial zones in CLUP 2009-2018. The demand in these areas
was made evident due to the number of applications requesting Exceptions that were
encouraged by the prior presence of industrial establishments therein. There were
requests from the business sector to expand the designated General Industrial zones to
include parts of Barangays Lawang Bato, Punturin, Canumay, Lingunan, Veinte Reales,
Bagbaguin, Marulas, Ugong, Mapulang Lupa, and Rincon which were cited to already be
predominantly industrial. One of the reasons cited was that CLUP 2009-2018 has
hampered business expansion and is hindering the growth of new business opportunities
in these areas.
Include commercial warehouses
13 The committee was constituted by the City Mayor in November 2013.
67 | P a g e
Valenzuela City
It was also noted that there were a number of applications for commercial warehouses in
the General Industrial zone. Since these uses were not included in the list of allowable
uses under the said zone, applications were denied by the City Zoning Office (CZO) and
some lodged applications for Exceptions with the city’s Local Zoning Board of Adjustment
and Appeals.
• Adjust regulations in General Industrial Zone
Distinguish between light, medium, and industrial zones
Another issue that has emerged is the mixed nature of industrial uses within the General
Industrial zone itself where light, medium, and heavy types may be found. This situation
was due to actual conditions when CLUP 2009-2018 was formulated. After the LZRC’s
review, it was found that the result will be ‘spot zoning’ if these were segregated since the
locations of each type of industry has no distinct pattern. The city government thus has
had to generalize the zone classification and apply strict requirements on site
development, building construction, and environmental impact through performance
standards.
Regulate the design layout of gates
Due to the narrow widths of the city’s internal roads and the density of vehicular traffic, the
entry and exit of trucks to and from industrial properties sometimes result to traffic
congestion. This is caused by the time needed for trucks to wait before gates are opened
or when parking is unavailable. Suggestions were thus made to regulate the design layout
of gates such that there will be enough space within properties for trucks to wait. The
objective is to prevent them from blocking through traffic along the streets while waiting.
Clarify buffer yard requirements
There were proposals to reduce the 3-meter setback requirement for industrial properties
to 2 meters thus making it similar to the National Building Code (NBC) since the regulation
reduces the size of building areas. It was clarified that the said ‘3-meter setback’ is not a
setback equivalent to that of the NBC but is a buffer and is intended to mitigate potential
adverse effects between adjacent developments such as industrial and residential.
Compliance with fencing regulations
There are cases where applicants expressed the difficulty in complying with fencing
regulations due to issues of security. They proposed that fencing along roads for industrial
uses must be increased to 3.5m made of opaque materials. The city government stated
that requirements for ‘see-through’ fencing along roads are intended to improve the overall
quality of the urban environment as well as improve security along streets. Security within
properties may be addressed directly at entry and exit points and through surveillance
cameras at the perimeter.
• Adjust regulations in commercial zones
Rationalize allowable uses in Commercial-3 zones
There were requests to allow Commercial-2 uses in Commercial-3 zones under the
principle of the ‘pyramidal use’ where lower rated uses shall be allowed in higher rated
zones but not vice versa.
68 | P a g e
Valenzuela City
Designate new Commercial-2 zones
Commercial applications were observed to be increasing along La Mesa Road in

Barangay Marulas and Pio Valenzuela Street in Barangay Ugong. These were thus
requested to be delineated as Commercial-2.
• Increase allowable densities in Residential-2 (Basic) zone
Row apartments and townhouses were already in the Residential-2 (Basic) zone when
CLUP 2009-2018 was prepared. These existing uses encouraged the application of new
developments with the same types of use. The demand is also due to the growing
population’s need for more residential space.
• Address climate change and natural hazards more effectively
While CLUP 2009-2018 contained provisions on how sites in flood or liquefaction prone
areas should be developed, there are no clear delineations on where these are in Zoning
Ordinance No. 80. It was suggested that Overlay Zones be introduced to address these
issues and facilitate zoning administration.
• Need for projects under the Community Mortgage Program (CMP) to comply with
minimum design standards
Projects under the CMP, especially those that involve on-site upgrading, are characterized
by having lot sizes and road widths that are below the standards of Batas Pambansa (BP)
220 and where compliance is difficult. Nonetheless, the city government has had dialogues
with applicants to encourage them to comply with the minimum standards of BP 220 for
the safety and livability of their communities. Moreover, the city government requires that
applicants provide their own basic infrastructure such as potable water, electricity
connections, drainage, firefighting, etc.
• Maintain waterway easements
While applicants sometimes show in their plans that waterway easements will be
maintained, there are cases where inspections done by the CZO and other city
government offices during construction show results to be otherwise. To facilitate
regulation and implementation, it was suggested that for applications along waterways: i)
clarify the definition of waterway easements following the amended implementing rules
and regulations of the Water Code of the Philippines, and ii) require waterways clearance
from the City Flood Control Division prior to issuing Locational Clearance.
• Protect surface and ground water
There were reported cases of indiscriminate land filling which oftentimes lead to localized
flooding and, in some cases, reduction of the city’s wetland areas. Suggestions were thus
made to make the Locational Clearance a requirement before a Ground Preparation
Permit is issued by the Office of Building Official.
It was also noted that Zoning Ordinance No. 8014 provides that groundwater extraction
may be allowed provided that ‘proponent proves that their water requirement will not be
14 The ordinance that enacted CLUP 2009-2018.
69 | P a g e
Valenzuela City
detrimental to the residents.” This clause should be deleted since groundwater extraction
is already prohibited by law.
• Lesser restrictions for non-conforming uses
There were requests to allow industrial and commercial structures in non-conforming area
to be conforming or to carve them out from residential zones and classify them as either
Industrial or Commercial. Another option presented was to grant non-conforming uses the
appropriate deviations, special permits, and exemptions without any restriction.
These options will also result to ‘spot zoning’ and encourage the expansion of, say, an
industrial facility in a predominantly residential area. This will make for more difficult land
use management in terms of traffic, noise, pollution, overcrowding, visual harmony, etc.
• Do not require affidavits of no objection
There were several reported cases of proponents having difficulties of securing affidavits
of no objection from adjacent property owners. Such affidavits can be withheld if there are
conflicts between neighbors thus preventing the application from progressing. It was thus
suggested that this requirement of Zoning Ordinance No. 80 be dropped except in cases
of applications for variance and/or exception.
• Stricter administration and enforcement tools
There were also requests to no longer require Locational Clearances for the yearly
renewal of Business Permits. However, the city government is of the position that doing
so will lessen its monitoring capabilities in terms of ensuring that the conditions of the
Locational Clearance that was first issued are being complied with.
In order to discourage appeals and ensure compliance with zoning regulations, the city
government opted to impose filing fees for appeals and administrative penalties for
violations and non-compliance.
1.8 Infrastructure, Facilities & Utilities
1.8.1 Transportation and road network
The city may be accessed through three major arterial roads, namely, McArthur Highway,
North Luzon Expressway (NLEX), and NLEX Segment 8.1. McArthur Highway and NLEX
link the city to the northern part of Luzon and to the rest of the NCR. Another major inter-
city access road is Mindanao Avenue Extension which links Valenzuela to Quezon City,
Kalookan City and eventually to the eastern part of the City of Meycauayan and
Municipality of Marilao in Bulacan.
The city is also traversed by the North Luzon Railway which is a major infrastructure
project of the national government that aims to restore the old Philippine National Railways
(PNR) rail tracks extending from Metro Manila up to Clark Green City in Pampanga.
Barangay Ugong will also be the depot site of the upcoming Metro Manila Subway that will
extend up to the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Pasay City.
Internal accessibility is facilitated by local roads. These existing barangay roads are
however generally narrow and insufficient in absorbing the volume of vehicles plying the
city.
70 | P a g e
Valenzuela City
Day-to-day traffic management is handled by the city’s Traffic Management Office (TMO)
who is “responsible for handling any activities which may affect or impede the flow of
vehicular traffic.”15 Key regulations that are being implemented include the Unified
Vehicular Volume Reduction Program (UVVRP) commonly called number coding scheme,
truck ban, and ban of private and public pedicabs along key roads.
1.8.2 Social service facilities
Housing
The city had a total of 153,041 households and 147,161 occupied housing units in 2015
according to the census report of the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA). Majority of
households have access to basic facilities and utilities such as electricity, safe water
supply, and sanitary toilets. About 99% of households in the city have access to
electricity.16 Safe water supply, on the other hand, is available to nearly 85% of
households. Sanitary toilet facilities (water-sealed flush to septic tank whether own use or
shared with other households and closed pit) are used by nearly 97% of households.17
Residential subdivisions
The city has 170 residential subdivisions which are characterized by relatively large
houses and lots. Many of these subdivisions are found in Barangays Gen. T. De Leon and
Marulas in Area III.18 There are also several residential condominiums to include Isabelle
de Valenzuela, Moldex Residences, and Chateau Valenzuela, among others.
Informal settlements
Based on year 2015 data of the Housing and Resettlement Office, there were 32,942
informal settler families (ISFs) which account for about 22% of the total households in the
city

Most ISFs have community organizations. Most of these organizations are accredited by
the City Housing and Resettlement Office. The list of these and number of members by
district and barangay are given in Appendix 6.
Resettlement areas
There are also a number of resettlement areas in the city. These include the Disiplina
Villages in Barangays Ugong and Bignay which are the largest in-city socialized housing
projects in the country. Further, there are four National Housing Authority (NHA)-
administered resettlements which were established to accommodate households affected
by government projects such as the Northrail and NLEX-C5.
Other projects that benefit informal settler families (ISF) and low income groups include i)
those that were assisted by the Greater Metro Manila (GMM) Habitat for Humanity, ii)
those funded through the Group Land Acquisition and Development (GLAD) program of
the Home Development Mutual Fund (HDMF or Pag-IBIG Fund), iii) the city government’s
off-site relocation projects for informal settler families who used to live in hazardous areas
such as along rivers and creeks, iv) those funded under the Community Land Acquisition
Support Program (CLASP), and v) those funded under the Community Mortgage Program
(CMP) of the Social Housing Finance Corporation (SHFC).

There are two public and eight private cemeteries in the city. Public cemeteries include
the ones in Barangays Arkong Bato and Karuhatan. The largest private cemetery is, in
turn, the approximately 30 hectare Ever Memorial Park in Barangay Lawang Bato with a
niche capacity of 80,000. Other private cemeteries may be found in Barangays Karuhatan,
Maysan, Palasan and Veinte Reales.
Education
• Elementary and secondary schools
The city’s public education system is grouped according to the city’s congressional
districts, i.e, Districts I and II. There are 22 elementary schools in District I and 17 in District
II. There are 21 secondary schools in both Districts.
There are 62 private elementary schools in District I and 54 in District II. There are also 48
private secondary schools in both Districts.
• Tertiary schools
The city government operates two tertiary schools namely the Pamantasan ng Lungsod
ng Valenzuela and Valenzuela City Polytechnic College. The latter is also a technical
school and provides undergraduate, special, and graduate programs.
In addition to the above, there are 10 private colleges and universities in the city. These
offer a variety of educational programs in various disciplines.
Protective services
The main police headquarters may be found at the City Hall Compound in Barangay
Marulas. There are also 10 police community precincts strategically distributed throughout
the city.
The city government has an Allied Local Emergency & Evacuation Response Team
housed in its Alert Center or Disaster Preparedness Building. The Alert Center is equipped
with 50 ambulances, four fire trucks, three amphibious rescue vehicles and a mobile toilet
with shower.
The city government’s Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (DRMO) is also
fully equipped for its disaster and emergency response functions such as during vehicular
accidents, medical emergencies, fires, and natural calamities. It has, among others,
rescue vehicles, collapsed structure and lifting equipment, extrication equipment, water
safety and rescue (WASAR) equipment, and firefighting and hazardous materials
(HAZMAT) equipment.
The Bureau of Fire Protection-Valenzuela City has 14 fire sub-stations distributed across
the city and is equipped with 18 fire trucks.20 It also has a complement of 171 firefighting
personnel.
The 5-storey, 1,900 sq.m. Valenzuela City Jail (VCJ) is located along Maysan Road in
Barangay Malinta. The VCJ has been recognized as the best jail in the country and the

Sports and recreation
The largest sports facility in the city is the Dalandanan Astrodome measuring about 5,600
sq.m. while the largest recreation area is the Valenzuela City People’s park which has an
area of about one ha. Barangays Parada, Maysan and Marulas have tennis courts while
the other 22 barangays have at least a basketball or volleyball court except for Arkong
Bato wherein only a vacant open space is being used as a basketball court.
Parks and playgrounds are mostly found inside subdivisions owned by private groups or
organizations. These are used by residents for sports and recreation purposes. Some
private individuals, companies and organizations have also established several sports
facilities in the city.
Social welfare
There are 46 day care centers and 78 day care workers in District I. On the other hand,
there are 34 day care centers and 77 day care workers in District II.
1.8.3 Infrastructure and utilities
Transportation and traffic management
Road network
The city may be accessed through three major arterial roads, namely, McArthur Highway,
North Luzon Expressway (NLEX), and NLEX Segment 8.1. While McArthur Highway is a
free-access highway that links the NCR to the northern provinces of Luzon, NLEX is a
controlled-access expressway with interchanges within the city. Another major inter-city
access road is Mindanao Avenue Extension which links Valenzuela to Quezon City,
Kalookan City and eventually to the eastern part of the City of Meycauayan and
Municipality of Marilao in Bulacan.
The city is also traversed by the North Luzon Railway which is a major infrastructure
project of the national government that aims to restore the old PNR rail tracks extending
from the NCR up to Clark Green City in Pampanga. About 4.67 kilometers of railways
traverse Valenzuela City. A basic station is being proposed at the NFA property in Veinte
Reales to cater ridership from Valenzuela and Meycauayan.
The city, particularly along Mindanao Avenue Extension in Barangay Ugong, will also be
the depot site of the upcoming Metro Manila Subway. The subway is a high capacity,
heavy rail line that will extend up to the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Pasay City.
Internal accessibility is facilitated by local roads. These existing barangay roads are
however generally narrow and insufficient in absorbing the volume of vehicles plying the
city.

Modes of transportation
• Inter – LGU Public Transport Modes
Inter–LGU public transport service is provided mainly by buses, jeepneys, AUVs and
regular taxicabs. City operation buses mostly plying the Malanday – Baclaran Route
traverse the city via Mc Arthur Highway. Jeepneys ply routes passing through McArthur
Highway and other major thoroughfares which connect the city to other LGUs. AUVs, or
more commonly known as UV express taxis, offer route–based public transport service
from the city to other major destinations such as the business districts within Metro Manila.
• Intra – LGU Public Transport Modes
Intra-LGU public transportation service is provided by jeepneys, tricycles and pedicabs.

Public utility jeepneys ply along the city’s major thoroughfares such as McArthur Highway,
MH del Pilar, Poblacion Road, Mabolo Road, T. Santiago Road, Maysan Road, Paso de
Blas Road, and Gen. T. de Leon Road. Tricycles and pedicabs are used as feeder modes
to jeepneys and are mostly utilized for shorter routes which are mostly intra–barangays.
• Public Transport Terminals
The Valenzuela Gateway Complex Central (VGC) Integrated Terminal in an inter-modal

facility catering to public utility provincial buses, tricycles, buses, jeepneys, and UV
express. It is located in Barangay Paso de Blas and operated by the Valenzuela Gateway
Complex Corporation and is being regulated by the Valenzuela City Transportation. Aside
from providing efficient services for the city’s residents, the VGC Integrated Terminal also
contributes to easing the traffic congestion along EDSA by reducing the number of
provincial buses plying there.
Several jeepney, tricycle and pedicab terminals are also found at strategic points in the
city. Among these are the Malanday Jeepney Terminal, Bignay-Punturin Tricycle Terminal
and the Malanday Pedicab Terminal. There are also informal tricycle terminals located
around the city. There are no bus terminals in the city since Valenzuela is not the final
destination of buses plying therein.

Traffic management
The “franchising, regulation, control, and management of all land transportation systems,
both public and private, operating within the territorial jurisdiction of the City…” is governed
by “The Land Transportation Code of the City of Valenzuela, 2005.” Following the city
government’s mandate provided in the Local Government Code of 1991, the
Transportation Code provides the legislative framework for the regulation of all
transportation-related activities in the city. These include among others the use and
construction/repair of roads, establishment of public transportation terminals and vehicle
stops, and franchising of motorized tricycles.
Day-to-day traffic management is handled by the city’s Traffic Management Office (TMO)
who is “responsible for handling any activities which may affect or impede the flow of
vehicular traffic.”22 Key regulations that are being implemented include the following:
• Unified Vehicular Volume Reduction Program (UVVRP) commonly called number

coding scheme along the following:
- McArthur Highway.
- Maysan-Paso de Blas-Bagbaguin Road.
- Karuhatan-Gen. T. de Leon Road.
- Gov. I. Santiago (Malinta to Tatawid).
- Mindanao Avenue (Barangay Ugong).
- East and West NLEX Service Road.
- T. Santiago Road.
- Sapang Bakaw (Lawang Bato)-Punturin-Bignay Road.
• Truck regulations (or truck ban) along the following:

- Maysan Road to Gen. Luis Road.
- Gov. I. Santiago Road to Tatawid Bridge.
- Karuhatan Road to Gen. T. de Leon Road.
• Ban of private and public pedicabs along McArthur Highway, Maysan-Novaliches Road,
and Gen. T. del Leon Road.

Valenzuela City
• Requirements on safety helmets for motorcyclists, use of seatbelts, and garbage bins
in PUVs.
• Ban on animal-drawn vehicles between sunset and sunrise unless equipped with
appropriate front and rear lamps and other safety requirements.
On-going key projects
The City Government is currently implementing the opening of local by-pass link roads
that are intended to alleviate traffic along major roads. The approach is to inter-connect
existing roads at strategic locations in order to avoid extensive right-of-way acquisition
thus facilitating implementation.
Flood protection and drainage
The city’s flood protection system comprises a network of flood walls along the
Meycauayan and Tullahan Rivers, and 13 combined sluice gates/pumping facilities and 1
sluice gate facility. Internal drainage is facilitated by both natural and man-made systems.
The important natural drains are the Polo, Coloong, Lingahan, and Longos Rivers which
mostly discharge to the Meycauayan and Tullahan Rivers.
Flood walls may be found along Meycauayan and Tullahan Rivers. These are, however,
not continuous and have been built below construction standards in some segments.
Along Meycauayan River, breaching was observed to be due to the installation of inlets
and outlets to fish ponds and to provide access for construction materials. Some segments
along Tullahan River were built by private land owners but were not up to standards such
as unreinforced concrete hollow blocks.23
There are also 13 combined sluice gates/pumping facilities and one sluice gate facility in
the city. All of these are in need of rehabilitation and upgrading and are heavily loaded by
rubbish at their intakes.24
Interior drains comprise both natural and man-made systems. The important natural drains
are the Polo, Coloong, Lingahan, and Longos Rivers which mostly discharge to the
Meycauayan and Tullahan Rivers. These drainage channels discharge water through
sluice gates and pumping stations and are unable to drain by gravity when the water levels
along the two rivers are high. Man-made drainage systems either discharge into these
channels or the main rivers. Key issues with regard to interior drains include:25
• Insufficient pumping capacity on the major drainage channels.

• Secondary drains are too small and water must travel long distances to join the main
drainage channels.
• Culverts are blocked with garbage and silt.
• Tertiary drains along the sides of the roads are also blocked with garbage and silt.
• Depressed areas cannot drain without installing a pumping unit or using portable
pumps.

Key projects
The city’s flood control and drainage facilities have been upgraded which resulted to the
much faster receding of flood waters after inundation stops. Still, several flood control
projects and facilities are needed to be constructed to further improve the flooding
situation. Some of the key projects include among others:26
• Flood wall along the Meycauayan River should be robustly constructed and the top of
the wall must be at an elevation to contain the design floods or about 13.0 to 13.5 msl.
• The flood wall must be unbroken from McArthur Bridge in Meycauayan to the western
boundary of Valenzuela City at Obando.
• Strengthen several reaches of the flood wall along Tullahan River with a more robust
foundation and support braces or install new concrete sheet piling wall and concrete
cap.
• Rehabilitate and upgrade all sluice gates/pumping facilities.
• Improve the internal drainage system by providing a 3.8 km open channel drain and
box culverts through the center of the city from Maysan, Karuhatan, and Marulas to
Veinte Reales new pumping facility and to the Tullahan River.
Energy
Electricity in the city is being distributed by Manila Electric Company (MERALCO), catering
to all types of power supply connections in all barangays.
The city hosts the first solar power farm in Metro Manila and the largest of its kind in the
country. It is located on an 11-hectare site in Barangay Isla and started operations in 2015.
The solar farm uses 32,000 solar panels and is capable of generating 8.6 megawatts which
is being sold to MERALCO.27
Water supply
The biggest water concessionaire which provides Level III water supply in Valenzuela City
is Maynilad Water Services, Inc. (Maynilad) which provides service to about 60% of
households.28
The city government, in turn, has a Tubig Patrol program which involves the distribution of
water to the critically ‘dry’ areas of the city by way of water tankers. Distribution areas
include Barangays Canumay, Punturin, Bignay and Lawang Bato in District I and in
Barangays Maysan, Marulas, Ugong and Gen. T. de Leon in District II.
Wastewater management
• Domestic
Maynilad is presently undertaking the Valenzuela Sewerage Treatment Project which is

intended to improve the overall sanitation condition in the city and reduce pollution load
discharges into the Tullahan, Meycauayan, and Polo rivers. The project involves the laying

of combined sewer-drainage lines, manholes, pumping stations, and a sewerage

treatment plant in Barangay Marulas adjacent the Tullahan River.29
• Industrial
Industrial companies in 19 of the city barangays discharge an average of 17,750 cubic

meters of wastewater per day. These are discharged into the Meycauayan and Tullahan-
Tenejeros rivers whose waters have been classified as Class C by the Department of
Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) where disposal of treated waste is allowed.30
There are four wastewater treatment facilities in the city that are registered with the
DENR’s Environmental Management Bureau (EMB).
Solid waste management
The city government practices a three-phase waste segregation strategy: i) segregation

at source, ii) segregation at the truck for recyclables missed at source, and iii) segregation
at the transfer station/Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) for recyclable missed at the truck
and source. Recyclables are brought to the Valenzuela EcoCenter and Materials Recovery
Facility in Barangay Marulas. Waste to be disposed are brought to the 5-hectare transfer
station in Lingunan. Waste haulers contracted by the city government then collects wastes
from Lingunan and dispose them to the Montalban Sanitary Landfill.
The city government does not collect medical and industrial waste. These are
responsibilities of respective waste generators, such as hospitals and industrial
establishments, who hire the services of contractors to collect and dispose their wastes.
These contractors should be accredited with the city government’s waste management
division.
Information and communications technology
Information and communication technology services in the city comprise postal, internet,
land-based and mobile phones, broadcast and television.
The city has three postal service facilities. The main post office is located within the old
City Hall Compound in Barangay Malinta. The other postal service facilities are located in
Barangay Pulo and Paso de Blas. There are also private courier services such as LBC
and JRS Express in the city.
1.9 Economic Structure
1.9.1 Economic Base
Industry
The city is one of the NCR’s industrial centers and in 2005 was reported to host 63% of
the region’s total number of industries. It is continuing to experience growth in the number
of industrial establishments which has reached 2,130 in 2015. The city has been a choice

location for industrial establishments due to the availability of land, and good accessibility
from the Port of Manila and to markets in northern Luzon and NCR.
Many of the industries in the city are engaged in plastic and rubber products, food
processing products, and metal craft, machine works and fabricators. All barangays in the
city have at least one manufacturing establishment except for Wawang Pulo.
Commerce and trade
Growth is also being exhibited by the commerce and trade sector. The number of
registered commercial establishments in 2015 was 13,399 and many of these are engaged
in wholesale and retail trade, real estate, and in transport, storage, and communications.
Tourism
Tourism has a small contribution to the economy since the city is not a known tourist
destination. While there are tourist resorts, the market is limited to those from the city and
nearby areas.
Agricultural crop production and aqua-culture
Agricultural crop production is mainly subsistence as agricultural lands have been

significantly reduced by urban developments. There were only about 21 has. of land
occasionally planted with rice and 8 farmers left in the city in 2017.
The city still has about 320 has. of fishponds which is also under pressure from urban
growth. The most common fish species cultured in these areas are tilapia and bangus.
Production is also mainly for household consumption with very little being sold in markets.
Some fishpond owners have also developed fishing resorts capitalizing on the tourism
potentials of their properties.
1.10 Development Constraints
A multi-sectoral workshop was held on May 3, 2018 where the stakeholders identified and
discussed the city’s priority issues and concerns according to development sectors.

1.11 Comparative Advantage & Competitive Edge
The city’s comparative advantages are in the sectors of industry and trade and commerce.
The industrial sector has been the traditional economic base of the city and continues to
attract investments. The city also has a large pool of well-trained and experienced
industrial labor that facilitate investments in the sector.
Aside from industrial manufacturing, the city has emerged as a logistics hub with a large
number of warehouse facilities and transportation businesses. This is mainly due to the
city’s good connectivity with northern Luzon, NCR, and the Port of Manila.
There also remain significant opportunities in the growth of the trade and commerce sector
and these are exhibiting strong growth. Confidence in the sector has been spurred by the
opening of the Town Center and People’s Park. The completion of the C5-NLEX Link to
the Port of Manila is expected to generate more growth in the sector.
The city’s competitive edge is its good governance which has garnered several awards
including being in the Hall of Fame of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry
for having received the Most Business-Friendly Highly Urbanized City award for three
times. The city is also a Galing Pook Awardee, cited as the 3rd Safest City in Southeast
Asia and is consistently in the upper ranking of the Cities and Municipalities Competitive
Index. Professionalism is at the core of the city government and it has received ISO
9001:2008 Certification.
The city also still has room for the development of additional residential areas and eco-
tourism sites. Its northeastern sector still has wide tracts of undeveloped land which are
flood free and can be put into residential use. Eco-tourism is being promoted in the
fishpond areas in the northwest, an asset which is unique in the NCR.
The city also has a ready pool of well-educated manpower. The city government operates
the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Valenzuela and Valenzuela City Polytechnic College
which are supplemented by 10 private colleges and universities.
88 | P a g e
Valenzuela City
1.12 Functional Role of the City
The future development of the city will be largely shaped by the functional role that it plays
within the NCR and parts of northern Luzon. The city’s functional role shall remain to be
the northern gateway to Metropolitan Manila, it will be a major business and industrial area
in the northeastern section of the metropolis, and it will continue to be major suburban
residential area. Moreover, the city shall be an eco-tourism center capitalizing on wetland
resources which is unique in the NCR.
These functional roles have been and will further be strengthened by national-scale and
regional-scale infrastructure projects. These include the completion of the NLEX-C5
Northern Link project which will provide direct connectivity to the Port of Manila and
Northrail project which will provide high speed link to Clark Green City in Pampanga and
the eastern portion of the NCR. Although there will be no passenger station in city, the
proximity of the Metro Rail Subway line with the nearest station to be along Mindanao
Avenue will further improve the city’s connectivity to the rest of the NCR.

2 THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN
2.1 Vision and Mission
2.1.1 Vision
The development vision for the city for the planning period 2019-2028 was defined in the
May 3, 2018 multi-stakeholder strategic planning workshop to be:
“A modern and world class Valenzuela City in the 21st century.”

The above is a slight modification from the vision developed in CLUP 2009-2018 which
was ‘A modern Valenzuela City in the 21st century.’
The stakeholders also developed the descriptors of the vision to guide the subsequent
setting of goals, objectives, and land use strategies.

Primary Node
The Primary Node remains centered on the site of the City Government Center,
Valenzuela Town Center and People’s Park. Most of the envisaged developments therein
have been achieved and the transformation of the areas surrounding the City Government
Center into business and commercial areas is underway. The development of the
proposed IT Hub in the old Telecoms Training Institute along McArthur Highway shall be
pursued. Following CLUP 2009-2018, “the IT Hub is envisioned to house an International
ICT Research and Training Institute along with Business Process Outsourcing services,
IT-based businesses and support facilities. The sidewalks in the Primary Node shall also
be improved with appropriate paving, planting, lighting, PWD access, and other street
furniture.
Figure 9. Concepts for the IT Hub

Secondary Nodes
The Poblacion, Junction of McArthur Highway and MH del Pilar Street in Malanday, and
Malinta Exit shall continue to perform functions as Secondary Nodes. These areas are
basically smaller business and commercial areas servicing nearby neighborhoods.
Heritage conservation shall continue to be pursued for the Poblacion following CLUP
2009-2018 which provides that ‘the adaptive re-use of buildings following a Fil-Hispanic
architectural theme shall be the norm.’ The two other nodes shall be subject to urban
upgrading where sidewalks shall be improved, street furniture installed, and landmark
signs provided. Opportunities to establish pocket parks shall be explored.
Two new Secondary Nodes have been identified to service the northeastern and
southeastern sections of the city. Located along the major roads in Barangays Bignay and
Ugong, the identified areas are currently vacant urban land. The city government shall
program the development of these areas to host public parks, transportation terminals,
and commercial spaces.

Figure 11. Concept for the improvement of Malanday Junction

Commercial Corridors
The Commercial Corridors delineated in CLUP 2009-2018 shall remain. These include the
city’s major roads, namely, McArthur Highway, T. Santiago, Maysan, Gen. T. de Leon,
and MH del Pilar as well as Bignay Road and Mindanao Avenue Extension. In addition to
these, two new Commercial Corridors are further delineated which include La Mesa Road
in Barangay Marulas and Pio Valenzuela Street in Barangay Ugong.
94 | P a g e
Valenzuela City
The approach to the development of these corridors shall also follow that provided in CLUP
2009-2018. Among others, these include “urban growth management measures shall take
into account the matching of development intensities and road capacities along with the
minimization of roadside and pedestrian-way friction”
Figure 12. Concept for sidewalk improvement

Selectively mixed-use areas
The approach of CLUP 2009-2018 to promote selectively mixed-use developments was

intended to encourage dynamic neighborhoods where residents have easy access to
work, community services and amenities. It is also a way to address traffic issues since
opportunities to limit the use of vehicles will be created.
Predominantly Residential-Commercial Areas (high density)
These areas are delineated for high density developments due to proximity to roads with
good connectivity particularly NLEX-C5 Segment 8.1 and Gen. T. de Leon. These are
found north and south of NLEX-C5 Segment 8.1 and are bound by Sulok Road to the north
and Gen. T. de Leon Road to the south. The Dominant Use shall be residential and
Secondary Uses shall be commercial, institutional, and others that will support the
immediate service requirements of residents therein.
Predominantly Residential Areas (moderate and low densities)
Areas at the city’s fringes are delineated as predominantly residential of moderate

development density with limitations due to narrow road rights of way. On the other hand,
low density predominantly residential areas are found at the city’s northwestern portion
and have been delineated as such due to proximity to the fishponds, limited soil bearing
capacities and narrow access roads. The low-density policy for these areas is also
intended to ‘lessen further potential initiatives for land reclamation as well as lessen
environmental stresses’ since the city government intends to conserve the fishponds,

Valenzuela City
Predominantly General Industrial Areas
The delineated General Industrial Areas are also earmarked as mixed-use in order to
encourage the provision of accessible housing and services to workers. Strict
environmental protection controls shall be applied to industries.
Fishpond Areas
These are the city’s remaining wetlands which perform important flood protection functions
as well as provide unique amenities to residents and tourists alike. These may also provide
opportunities for environmental education for students in the city. The development of the
Fishing Village in Barangay Tagalag shall be pursued and access to the fishponds shall
be enhanced by way of establishing linear parks along their banks.

It may be observed that there is a 56% increase in the coverage of the General Industrial
which were mostly taken from Maximum Residential-2. There was also a significant
increase in the areas covered by General Institutional uses since more government
facilities were constructed in the barangays. The increase in the area covered by Utilities
is due to the acquisition of properties along Mindanao Avenue for use as depot of the
Metro Manila Subway. This resulted to the reduction in the area of Commercial-3.

Barangay Tagalag Eco-tourism Overlay Zone
The City Council enacted “ORDINANCE NO. 309 SERIES OF 2019 AN ORDINANCE
DECLARING BARANGAY TAGALAG AS CITY ECOTOURISM ZONE, THEREBY
REGULATING ITS USE AND DEVELOPMENT, AND PROVIDING PENALTY FOR
VIOLATION THEREOF.”
The same ordinance recognized the area’s “vast expanse of aquatic resources coming
from the three connected rivers of Coloong, Polo, and Meycauayan” as well as its eco-
tourism potentials. The City Government was mandated to pursue the development and
maintenance of this area in coordination with the Barangay Council of Tagalag.
The left side (water side) area of the barangay was declared a “controlled development
area” for the “purpose of preservation and maintenance of Barangay Tagalag as eco-
tourism zone. The ordinance further provided that “all applications for building, business,
and related permits shall be required to submit appropriate clearances from the Barangay
Council of Tagalag, City Tourism Office, City Environment and Natural Resources Office,
City Planning Office and other Offices as may be mandated by the City Mayor.”
The above cited ordinance is intended to protect the wetland area as well as facilitate the

2.5 The Land Use Plan and adjacent LGUs
Attention was given to the land use plans of neighboring LGUs in order to ensure that the
city’s CLUP will not be in conflict with them or if mitigating measures have to be put in
place in case of incompatibility of adjacent uses.
2.5.1 City of Kalookan
Kalookan North Map 48. Comparison of land use plan with that
of Kalookan North
Kalookan North borders the
northeastern section of Valenzuela
City particularly in Barangays Ugong,
Bagbaguin, Lawang Bato, and
Bignay. These areas are designated
as mostly industrial with some
residential in Valenzuela City’s CLUP
2019-2028. A similar pattern may be
observed in Kalookan North’s CLUP
2016-2025.

Kalookan South
Tullahan River defines the boundaries

between Valenzuela City and
Kalookan South. The city’s bordering
barangays are Gen. T. de Leon and
Ugong and the designated land use in
these areas is mainly residential
which is also almost similar to that of
Kalookan South’s CLUP 2016-2025.

Tullahan River forms the most Map 50. Comparison of land use plan with that of the
part of the boundary between the City of Malabon
south and southwestern parts of
Valenzuela and the adjoining
areas of Malabon. Barangays in
Valenzuela that border Malabon
include Marulas, Karuhatan,
Malinta, Rincon, and Arkong
Bato. Most of the city’s bordering
areas are designated as
residential. Areas classified as
industrial are limited to the San
Miguel Brewery area in Marulas
and existing industrial
compounds in Rincon. Malabon
City’s designated land uses at the
border with Valenzuela are
mostly industrial. Tullahan River
provides a natural buffer between
Valenzuela’s residential and
Malabon’s industrial areas.
2.5.3 City of Meycauayan Map 51. Comparison of land use plan with that of the
City of Meycauayan
Valenzuela and Meycauayan are
bisected at the northwest and
northeast by the Meycauayan
River and share a land border at
the middle of these two rivers.
Valenzuela City’s designated
land uses at the northwest are
mainly Fishponds and mostly
residential at the middle and
northwest such as in Bignay,
Punturin, Lingunan, Veinte
Reales, and Malanday. There are
some areas classified as
industrial such as in Lawang Bato
and small parts in Lingunan and
Bignay. Most of these are well-
established residential and
industrial areas.
The CLUP of Meycauayan has not yet been prepared but its City Planning and
Development Office shared their Existing General Land Use Map. It may be observed that
land uses along the city’s border are mostly compatible such as in the fishpond and
residential areas. There is, however, a small segment in Lawang Bato where
Meycauayan’s existing land use is industrial and Valenzuela’s land use plan is residential.
These areas between the two cities are however bordered by Meycauayan River which
serve as a natural buffer,

2.6 Major Development Programs/ Projects
Most of the major development programs to support the achievement of CLUP 2019-
2028’s vision, goals, and objectives were identified by the stakeholders during the
Strategic Planning Workshop held on May 3, 2018. These were supplemented by the key
projects identified in CDP 2017-2022 and CLUP 2009-2018 that are yet to be
