2019-2027
3.5 The Land Use Plan
3.5.1 Urban Land Demand
The projected urban land requirement is based on the current land uses and
the population trends. The different sizes of lots used as basis for computation
was taken from prevalent size of lot in the city and which are considerably
acceptable. For residential projections, a minimum lot size of 80 square meters
per housing unit was used for computation.
3.5.2 Land Supply
Identification of land available was taken from the result of thematic mapping.
Land available are those potential growth areas which are the remaining areas
after deducting all development constraints.
3.5.3 Proposed General Land and Water Uses
3.5.3.1 Agriculture
The Strategic Agriculture and Fishery Development Zone (SAFDZ) and

Comprehensive Agrarian Reform (CARP) areas shall serve as the development
framework for agriculture. Areas devoted to crops, i.e. corn, bananas, fruits &
nuts and vegetables will be retained in the rural barangays while crop
production and productivity will be intensified.
For livestock and poultry, backyard production specifically for swine, goats and
cattle will be regulated in the hinterland barangays.
Sustenance fishing (inland) shall be developed to augment fishery productivity

in potential areas where there are rivers, lakes and fishponds.
Proposed agricultural areas within the planning period summed up to 12,621.32

hectares; roughly 63 percent of which is intended for production, while the
remaining 37 percent more or less will be for protection.
3.5.3.2 Forest
The forest areas in the hinterland barangays on the south abutting the
provincial boundary of Bukidnon and Lanao del Norte, i.e. Cugman, FS
Catanico, Tablon and Balubal will be retained/conserved. Premium and

introduced species will be used in the reforestation of these identified

barangays.
To sustain the National Greening Program, tree growing for reforestation at the
barangays shall be constantly enforced requiring NSTP to facilitate such
activity.
Open grassland will be devoted to fruit trees so as to protect the area from
further erosion.
Proposed forest areas within the planning period summed up to 27,906.46

hectares. Around 46 percent of which will be devoted to production, while 54
percent is protection forest.

Lumbia and Bayanga. Total tourism area proposed within the planning period
summed up to 1,305.40 hectares.
3.5.3.4 Urban Land Use
For the planning period, proposed total urban land use of the city summed up
to 13,900.78 hectares.
