I. Brief Historical Background

Even before the coming of the Spaniards, Naga was already a flourishing community off
the riverbanks of Naga River. The name "Naga" is said to have derived its origin from the narra
trees, which were then in abundance. The late Fr. Raul Bonoan, S.J. however advanced an
alternative theory linking the name to the Nagas, a serpent-worshiping northern Indian tribe that
settled near or around water springs.

In 1573, Spanish troops led by Capt. Juan de Salcedo were amazed to find a community
with a fairly well-advanced culture. "Naga was then a premier village with a comparatively
sophisticated weaponry and surprisingly advanced technology," the book Naga City-From Epic to
History said.

The following year, Captain Pedro de Chaves founded Ciudad de Nueva Caceres in honor
of Don Francisco de Sande, then governor of the province and a native of Caceres in Extramadura,
Spain.

Nueva Caceres served as the capital of Ambos Camarines and later of Camarines Sur
province. In 1919, the Americans reclassified the city into a town and restored it to its former
name. It regained its status as an independent component city by virtue of Republic Act No. 305
on December 15, 1948 sponsored by Rep. Juan Q. Miranda. On June 6, 1955, it ceased to become
provincial capital when the Camarines Sur provincial government moved its seat to neighboring
Pili pursuant to RA 1336.

II. Demography

2.1 Population count and trends

The Philippine Statistics Authority's 2015 Census (PSA) puts 196,003 people in Naga.
Naga now has 174,931 inhabitants, up 21,072 from the previous year's total, making it the Bicol
city with the fastest population growth. This amounts to a population growth rate of 2.3% annually,
which is lower than the 2.91% recorded between 2007 and 2010. In total, there are 51% women
and 49% men. In contrast to 1995, when there were only 95 females for every 100 males in the
population, there were already 104 females for every 100 males in 2010.

The number of households in the city increased to 42,152 in 2015, increasing 6,223
compared to the 35,929 households counted in 2010, resulting in an average household size of
4.61, down from the 4.84 households counted in the previous year. In 2000, there were 5.20 people
per family, in comparison. These indicate that throughout the past 15 years, the average Nagueño
family has consisted of 5 people.

By 2030, the city’s population is projected to hover between a low of 256,028 to a high of
301,300. (Fig. 1.1.) If the current 2.3% growth rate is maintained, Naga’s population will reach
273,715 by 2030. (See Tables 1.1 and 1.2.)

2.2 Age-sex structure

Naga is a city of young people. Children and the youth (those aged 24 and below) comprise
more than half (54%) of the total population. Pre-schoolers make up 4% of the population of
school age, elementary students make up 12%, and secondary students make up 13% of the total.
While males make up 52% of the population of school age in the lower years, the situation is
equalized at the secondary level with males and females each receiving 50%.

2.3 Population Density

Based on PSA standards, Naga is 100% urban. At 2,320 residents per sq km as of 2015, up from
1,631 per sq km 15 years ago, it remains the most densely populated city in Bicol using a land area
of 84.48 sq kms as base.

Naga is politically subdivided into 27 barangays.

1. Abella 15. Liboton

2. Bagumbayan Norte 16. Mabolo
3. Bagumbayan Sur 17. Pacol
4. Balatas 18. Panicuason

III. The Setting

3.1 Geographic Location

Naga City is centrally located in the province of Camarines Sur, about 377 kms south of Manila
and 100 kms north of Legazpi City, Albay. Nestled at the foot of Mt. Isarog, the city has a total
land area of 8,448 hectares or 84.46 sq kms. On the Philippine Map, it is placed between 13 to
14° North Latitude and between 123 to 124° East Longitude. It is bounded on the North by the
towns of Canaman, Magarao and Calabanga; on the East by Mt. Isarog; on the South, by Milaor
and the capital town of Pili; and on the West by the town of Camaligan. (Fig. 3.)

3.2 Topography

The city’s terrain generally slopes upward from west to east. Its city center, trisected by the Bicol
and Naga rivers which are fed by creeks and riverines that crisscross the city, is located near its
lowest point, making it susceptible to flooding when unusually heavy rainfall causes these
waterways to overflow.

3.3 Slope Suitability

The low flatlands from the city center up to the upper barangays of Pacol and San Isidro
at the foot of Mt. Isarog has slopes of 0-3% (almost level) to 3-8% (nearly level to slightly
sloping). Collectively, they account for 58% of the total land area. On the other hand, the eastern
part covering barangay Carolina has slopes of 8-18% while Panicuason, which includes the
Forest and Parks Reserve of Mt. Isarog that forms part of the National Integrated Protected Areas
System (NIPAS), has the steepest from 18-30% and above.

3.4 Existing Situation

3.4.1. Physical

Roads and bridges.

As of December 2015, Naga’s road network has expanded to 195.7 kms, 31.4 more than
the 164.3 kms recorded in 2000 – an increase of 19%. Of these roads, a total of 31.8 kms (16%)
were built by the national government. In terms of road type, 145.2 kms (or 74% of the total) are
concreted; 30.4 kms (16%) are asphalted; 14.1 kms (7%) are gravel surfaced; while 6.0 kms
(3%) are still earth road.

The number however does not include around 50 kms in private subdivision roads still to
be turned over the city government. When these are considered, Naga would have a total road
network of around 246 kms as of 2015.

Within the city, there are 13 city bridges, each with a 10-ton capacity, and six national
bridges. Most of these bridges are found in the city center which is trisected by the Bicol and
Naga Rivers.

Water Supply

The waterworks system run by the Metro Naga Water District (MNWD) supplies the
requirements of Naga and the four neighboring towns of Canaman, Camaligan, Gainza and
Magarao. Its main water source comes from three springs located in Pili, Camarines Sur – the
Anayan, Kalinisan and Rumangrap springs – and 18 operational deep well pumping stations
located in strategic sites within its service area. As of 2013, the MNWD water system has a total
of 40,248 active connections.

Fig.3.4.2. MNWD

Power Supply

Electric power services in the city are being provided by the Camarines Sur II Electric
Cooperative (CASURECO II), one of the four electric cooperatives engaged in power retail in
the province, and the second biggest in the Bicol region in terms of market size. Power is
sourced mainly from newly privatized generating plants connected to the Luzon Grid being
operated by the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP).

Solid Waste Management

In 2016, the city generated 108,019 cu. meters of solid waste. Out of this, 35,641 cu.
meters were diverted, representing a 33% waste diversion effort. Of the waste diverted, 62%
takes place at the community level, with the remaining 38% processed at the Materials Recovery
Facility (MRF) of the Balatas controlled dumpsite. Collected wastes are then delivered,
processed and deposited at the 3.6-hectare Balatas dumpsite. ( Fig.3.4.4. View of Balatas
Dumpsite)

3.4.2. Social

Education

As a center of education in Bicol, Naga offers quality education from preschool to

graduate courses. In 2009, its educational institutions, including day care centers which provide
preschool training, totaled 181. Of these, 112 are public and 69 private. These are namely some
of the public and private universities and colleges in Naga City; Ateneo de Naga University,
Naga City Science High School, Brentwood College of Asia International School and Naga City
Science High School.

Health

• As of 2010, Naga is home to a total of five hospitals, two of which are government-
owned with the rest private. The two government hospitals are the 500-bed Bicol Medical Center
(BMC) along Panganiban Avenue and the 29-bed Naga City Primary Hospital owned and
operated by the Naga City Government.

• On the other hand, the three private hospitals – Mother Seton, St. John and Dr. Nilo Roa
Memorial – boast of a combined 240 beds which, together with the two government hospitals’
529, bring Naga's total number of hospital beds to 769.

• In addition, there are 116 clinics in the city, 88 of which are medical and 28 dental
clinics.

Housing

• Based on the 2000 NSO Census on Housing, there were 25,674 housing units in the
city. Of these 83.5% were single-detached, 8.6% were multi-unit residences (apartments,
rowhouses, condominiums, townhouses), 6.2% duplex-type, and 0.4% were institutional living
quarters, other housing units, and commercial, industrial and agricultural buildings being used
for dwelling. The classification of 1.2% of the housing units was not reported.

Agriculture

• In terms of land use, Naga remains primarily an agricultural city. Data from the City
Agriculture Office (CAgO) shows that in 2014, only 3,198 hectares were actually being used for
agricultural production. Of these, 1,847 hectares are planted with rice, 1,139 hectares with corn,
15 with vegetables while 198 were used for livestock and poultry.

Data from the City Agriculturist’s Office show that the sector employs a total of 4,447
individuals, 31% of which are into farming while 69% work for the livestock and poultry
industry. This means that on the whole, the sector provides employment for as much as 14% of
the city’s household population.

• In terms of crops being planted, 52% of the local farming subsector is into rice
production, 27% corn, 7% sugarcane, 6% vegetable, 4% abaca and 3% coconut farming.

Manufacturing

• Naga has a relatively small industrial base. In 2009, 876 manufacturing firms were
registered, representing 12.5% of the total number of business establishments in the formal
sector.

4. Impacts of climate change and hazards

4.1. Flooding. 17 of the 27 barangays or 63% of the total number of barangays in the city
have 90-100% of their area exposed to flooding.

4.2. Landslide. Of the total population of the city, less than one percent is exposed to
landslides. Six barangays which were found to be exposed to landslides are: Cararayan;
Carolina; Del Rosario; Pacol; Panicuason; and San Isidro. All these barangays have less
than 1% of their total population exposed to landslides except Panicuason, which has
27% of its population exposed to landslides. •

4.3. Liquefaction. Forty-one percent (41%) of the total population of the city is exposed to
liquefaction. The 13 barangays with 90-100% of their total area prone to liquefaction
include: Abella (100%); Bagumbayan Sur (100%); Calauag (100%); Dinaga (100%);
Igualdad Interior (100%); Liboton (100%); Sabang (99.97%); Mabulo (99.84%); San
Francisco (99.78%); Sta. Cruz (99.73%); Lerma (97.71%); Bagumbayan Norte (99.70%);
and Penafrancia (96.14%). Population exposed to various hazards such as flood, landslide
and erosion is depicted in Figure below.

4.4. Typhoons. Naga, as is the whole of Bicol Region, is susceptible to typhoons, lying in the
usual east-to-northwest path taken by these weather disturbances that regularly visit the
Philippines. Fig. 1.4. Historical Typhoon Tracks in Naga City 10 (See Fig. 1.4.) Between
2005 and 2016, an average of 18 typhoons entered the Philippine area of responsibility –
from a high of 25 in 2013 to a low of 11 in 2010. While most hardly caused material
damage to the city, they remain a threat. In fact, 13 of the 16 strongest typhoons that hit
the Philippines from 1947-2016 all passed through Bicol.

5. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan

5.1. Vision

- Naga City’s development shall be guided by two complementary vision statements

that combine the best of local and national aspirations.

● “Maogmang Lugar”

By 2030, Naga City shall be a recognized model of

Good governance and responsible citizenship, driven by a shared development

direction crafted, implemented and continually improved in an inclusive manner;
and sustained by a citizenry that asserts their rights and accepts their roles and
responsibilities in nation building

People-centered development, anchored on quality and accessible services in

health, education and other social services, especially for the marginalized and the
vulnerable; that enables the private sector to generate the best value from local
talents, technology and resources, and provide gainful jobs and entrepreneurial
opportunities for the Nagueño; and

Abiding faith that expresses itself in social solidarity and a culture of excellence
flourishing in a city that is peaceful, safe and in accord with nature; where cultural
values are nurtured and religious diversity respected; and where technology
enables the Nagueño to be part of a global community of people and nations. In the
process, it shall set the pace in participatory urban development in the Philippines
and in Southeast Asia, and inspire others in their own path to development.

From 2011-20 CDP

- The first vision which was adopted from previous planning documents, including
the city’s 10-year Comprehensive Development Plan.
- It was reaffirmed as the city’s vision statement during a multi-stakeholder visioning
workshop on May 24, 2013 at Crown Hotel in Naga City.
- The current context emphasizes the pursuit of happiness, which is recognized as
one of the sovereign rights of man.
- Contemporary development literature has increasingly recognized the need to
measure the state of happiness of a society, giving rise to such measures as the
“Gross Happiness Index” that seek to complement traditional metrics like the GNP
and GNP.

● “AmBisyon Natin 2040”

By 2040, Filipinos enjoy a strongly rooted, comfortable, and secure life.

In 2040, we will all enjoy a stable and comfortable lifestyle, secure in the knowledge
that we have enough for our daily needs and unexpected expenses, that we can plan
and prepare for our own and our children’s future. Our family lives together in a
place of our own, and we have the freedom to go where we desire, protected and
enabled by a clean, efficient, and fair government.

By 2040, the Philippines is a prosperous middle class society where no one is poor.
People live long and healthy lives and are smart and innovative. The country is a
high-trust society where families thrive in vibrant, culturally diverse, and resilient
communities.

From Ambisyon Natin 2040

- The other vision statement is the “AmBisyon Natin 2040,” a collective long-term
vision (LTV) and aspirations of the Filipino people for themselves and for the
country in the next 25 years.
- In many ways, the “Maogmang Lugar” and the “AmBisyon Natin” vision
statements are aligned. But a fundamental difference between them lies in the
sequencing of their elements. While the former puts good governance and
responsible citizenship first, the latter correctly puts the dreams and aspirations of
the Filipino front and center, and treats good governance only as a means toward
realizing a more important end, which is none other than his pursuit of happiness
and its various expressions.
- Consequently, there is a need to reconfigure the “Maogmang Lugar” vision
statement to align this with the “AmBisyon Natin” LTV. As such, the following is
proposed to guide this plan.

● “Naga, An Maogmang Lugar”

By 2030, Naga City shall be a recognized model of

People-centered development, anchored on quality and accessible services in

health, education and other social services, especially for the vulnerable; that
enables the private sector to generate the best value from local talents, technology
and resources, and provide gainful jobs and entrepreneurial opportunities for the
Nagueño;

Good governance and responsible citizenship, driven by a shared development

direction crafted, implemented and continually improved in an inclusive manner;
and sustained by a citizenry that asserts their rights and accepts their roles and
responsibilities in nation building; and

Abiding faith that expresses itself in social solidarity and a culture of excellence
flourishing in a city that is peaceful, safe, resilient and in accord with nature; where
cultural values are nurtured and religious diversity respected; and where
technology enables the Nagueño to be part of a global community of people and
nations.

In the process, it shall set the pace in participatory urban development in the
Philippines and in Southeast Asia, and inspire others in their own path to
development.

5.2. Goals and Objectives

MAJOR DEVELOPMENT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

To help realize the enhanced “Maogmang Lugar” vision, Naga City shall strive to attain
the following goals and objectives for the next 15 years:

1. Well-managed urban growth. This aims to develop a livable compact city built around
the urban core and a network of mixed-use development connected by sustainable
transportation options and supported by quality public infrastructure, services and
facilities.

2. Accessible urban basic services. This aims to develop a hierarchy of self-contained

communities with sufficient allocation of land for health, education, recreation and
protective facilities and other social services.

3. Sustainable, equitable economic development and competitiveness. This aims to

identify, develop and promote new economic growth areas for priority investment. At the
same time, it will also strive to create quality jobs that will enable the city to further reduce
income poverty, especially in least economically resilient communities

4. Improved productivity and income in agriculture. This aims to protect prime

agriculture areas from conversion to non-agricultural use; improve agricultural
productivity by increasing public and private investments in inputs, facilities and services;
and improve household income by focusing on value chain opportunities from priority
commodities identified for Naga and the Bicol region.

5. Livable, safe and resilient city and local communities. This aims to promote mixed-
use development in its settlement areas, create community-based economic and social
activities and services that minimize home-to-work trips, and help lessen the city’s carbon
footprint. At the same time, it also seeks to improve Naga’s resilience as an urban
community by mitigating hazards; reducing local vulnerabilities, minimizing exposure and
improving adaptive capacity of local communities.

DEVELOPMENT THRUSTS AND SPATIAL STRATEGY

To attain the goals that embody the city’s vision “Maogmang Lugar”, it will focus on the
following development thrusts and spatial strategy. The city’s five-fold development goals
will be anchored on a combination of six development drivers.

Development Drivers

1. Commercial development. For an urban economy where the tertiary sector (built
around trade, commerce and services) account for 89% of the total, it is but logical to
expect that commercial development will continue to drive Naga’s growth over the next
15 years. Trade and commerce represent around half of that number. It therefore stands to
reason that the city will allocate land that will support the continued growth of this
particular sector.

2. Services. The entry of big malls (SM and Robinson’s) and business process outsourcing
companies; the continued growth of the financial sector, the development of the Bicol
Medical Center, coupled with its traditional health and education base, have further
solidified the city’s standing as the regional center of services and finance.

Its designation as one of the Philippines’ Next Wave Cities in the BPO industry is expected
to bring in more players, especially as the industry diversifies its portfolio out of Metro
Manila in favor of the regions.

In serving a regional market, especially the northern Bicol peninsula, there is also value
in allocating land in the urban core that will support the needs of this fast-growing sector.

3. Mixed-use development. Over the last 15 years, property development, especially in

the housing sector, accounted for around 70% of new investments in the city. As pointed
out above, the growth of housing construction, at 3.7% annually, has outstripped even the
higher end of the city’s population growth. And with a significant Overseas Filipino
population (17% of total households) and a strong migration and development program (a
pioneering initiative among Philippine local governments), the outlook is bright for this
sector. The challenge is to further shift residential development from single houses
towards medium- to high-density mixed-use development, built around multi-unit housing
in the periphery of the urban core.

4. Light to medium industry. The secondary sector, especially manufacturing, did not
do well during the last 15 years. Its share in fact contracted from 14% to single-digit levels.
The secondary sector, after all, is supposed to generate the biggest value-adding and create
higher quality jobs, which is a key goal under this plan. Moreover, this is consistent with
one of new SDGs that call for the promotion of “inclusive and sustainable
industrialization” and significantly raising industry’s share of employment and gross
domestic product by 2030.
 BICOL UNIVERSITY

Region V

5. High-value agriculture production and processing. The same can also be said about
Naga’s agriculture sector, whose size also contracted, and underperformed spatially, with
only 70% of the total area being put to productive use. But in terms of land use, Naga
remains a predominantly agricultural city. Thus, for the next 15 years, there is value in
promoting agriculture development as a driver of Naga’s sustainable development. This
needs greater clarity in agriculture policy, especially in land conversion, as well as focus,
which should be on greater productivity and household income. In addition to the usual
cash crops and livestock programs, the city’s engagement with the Philippine Rural
Development Project (PRDP) of the Department of Agriculture has identified pili nut
processing, cacao and cutflower as local high-value crops that can be prioritized for
development and investments, especially focusing on the value chain gaps and
opportunities. After all, the new SDGs are advocating productive and sustainable
agriculture so that by 2030, “agricultural productivity and incomes of small-scale food
producers through secure and equal access to land, other productive resources and inputs,
knowledge, financial services, markets and opportunities for value addition and non-farm
employment” will be doubled.

6. Tourism. Last but not least, tourism will continue to drive Naga’s growth, anchored on
its solid performance over the last 15 years on the strength of double-digit growth in tourist
arrivals and accommodation facilities. Moreover, the sector will directly benefit if the
three major road, rail and air transportation projects mentioned above are realized,
dramatically improving access to the city. Through commercial and property
development, various amenities that Naga can offer can only be expected to growth further
and diversify. In addition to eco-tourism attractions in the city’s east highlands, another
promising area would be cultural tourism at the urban core, anchored on the proposed
Nueva Caceres Heritage District that leverages Naga’s unique legacy as one of the five
royal cities established by the Spaniards in the 16th century. This of course calls for
preserving and promoting adaptive reuse of historic buildings within the district that are
over 50 years old, as mandated by the new Philippine heritage law.

5.3. Structural Plan

It has three outstanding characteristics:

1. Compact city urban form. The plan operationalizes a progressive return to the
preferred compact city urban form in line with its thrust for a well-managed urban
development. This recognizes the fact that Naga’s urban core, since the Spanish times up
to the present, has been front and center of social, economic and cultural development of
the city. Notwithstanding its susceptibility to flooding events due to its location at the
confluence of Naga and Bicol Rivers, there is no compelling reason to abandon what has
been its dominant urban core, even in the context of climate change. That 11% of the city’s
population movement over the last 15 years have actually moved into the city is a testament
to its continuing vitality and viability. The challenge therefore is to implement adaptation
and mitigation measures to cushion the impact of climate change and other geophysical
hazards facing the city center.

2. Tri-nodal spatial development. A complementary strategy to compaction is tri-nodal

spatial development that will be built around the CBD urban core as the central primary
anchor, supported by two secondary growth nodes: the Del Rosario gateway district to the
south, and the Pacol agri-industrial quadrangle to the north. Influenced by the dominant
strand of population movement within the city over the last 15 years, this tri-nodal spatial
development strategy defines the boundaries of Naga’s long-term development within the
confines of these three nodes, and recognizes the important role of Naga’s peri-urban areas
in delivering on the major components of its “Maogmang Lugar'' vision. As such, the
envisioned mixed-use developments in new residential areas identified during the sub
sectoral workshops will be promoted in the context of these three nodes.

3. Radial-circumferential. Lastly, paying homage to the city’s original town plan, urban
development will be enabled and accelerated by two new circumferential and one
 BICOL UNIVERSITY
Institute of Design and Architecture
Bicol University East Campus, Legazpi City, Albay
Region V

additional radial road that will be established, as proposed under the 2016-30 City Road
Network Development Plan (CRNDP) that was adopted by the Sangguniang Panlungsod
in 2016. They form part of the plan’s development strategy to “invest on strategic new road
projects” that will accelerate mixed-use development by promoting greater connectivity
between the city center and key growth nodes, and in the process enable critical private
investments in new road networks.

5.4. The 2016-30 Land Use Plan.

Land Supply for Urban Expansion

Land supply is the land area available within a locality for urban expansion. In the case of
Naga City, after deducting the areas considered for protection and conservation (NPAAs,
NIPAs etc.) as well as existing built-up areas from its total land area, the land supply for
urban expansion is determined at 404.2 hectares, a 23% reduction from the 521.5 hectares
available in 1999.

Land Use Accounting, Naga City, 2016

The city’s Network of Integrated Protective Areas (NIPAS) remained at 611 hectares or
7.2% of the total. But a Forest Buffer zone is being proposed, adding around 37 hectares,
bringing the city’s Protection Areas to 7.7% of the total. Environmentally Critical Areas
increased from 49.8 to 90.7 hectares (from 0.6 to 1.1%), mainly due to the relocation and
expansion of the city’s dumpsite from Balatas to San Isidro, the provision of around 17
hectares in new parks, as well as another 10 hectares for water-related hazards due to
provision for easement, especially in residential areas in the urban district. The Protected
Production Areas or Highly Restricted Agricultural lands remained at 5,709 hectares.
When subtracted altogether from the city’s total land area, it yielded a Gross Potential
Supply for Urban Lands of 2,000 hectares, equivalent to 24% of the city’s territory.

Finally, taking out the existing built-up area as of 2015, estimated at 1,214 hectares based
on satellite data), would yield a Net Buildable Area of 786.3 hectares. This is equivalent
to around 9% of the city’s total land area that can supply its development needs for the
next 15 years.

Land Use Allocation

In all, it will require a net urban expansion of 712 hectares over the 2016 actual land use,
and 433 hectares over the 2000 CLUP allocation scheme. This represents an expansion
that will take up between 5% to 8% of the city’s land area. Using the latter as reference, it
is equivalent to a net expansion of 5% which is well within the 9% net buildable area
available for the city.

In terms of specific uses, it will have the following allocations:

1. Residential. A total of 2,096 hectares will be allocated for residential use, representing
25% of its land area and a 2 percentage point increase over the 2000 level. This is 474
hectares more than the 2016 actual use, but only 210 hectares higher than the 2000 CLUP
allocation. The bulk of new lands that will be released for residential use will be located in
areas ringing the urban core, in line with the compact city development strategy.

Based on the computations of Naga’s housing demand by 2030, the city will need between
a low of 298 hectares (1.8% annual growth) to a high of 448 hectares (2.91% annual
growth) to meet the existing backlog and its additional household population estimated to
range between 18,458 to 27,820 households by 2030. The 464-hectare allocation of
available residential land already exceeds the upper end of those requirements. Higher
density developments, especially within the urban core, will further give the city more
flexibility in terms of residential land supply.

The allocation also supports the goal of the city’s Shelter Plan, 2018-32, which aims to
develop as much as 225 hectares (roughly 11% of the total residential allocation) of new
 BICOL UNIVERSITY
Institute of Design and Architecture
Bicol University East Campus, Legazpi City, Albay
Region V

land for socialized housing over the 15-year planning period to address the city’s housing
backlog. This is apart from the 95 hectares that currently form part of the city’s socialized
housing portfolio under the Kaantabay sa Kauswagan project. Around 75 hectares of the
requirements for socialized housing is being eyed for land banking under the city’s One
Time-Big Time resettlement initiative.

2. Commercial. A total of 536 hectares will be allocated for commercial use, representing
6% of Naga’s total land area, which translates to a 3 percentage point increase over the
2000 level. This is equivalent to a 196 hectare net increase over the allocation in the
previous planning document, and 207 hectares in all if we consider the 2016 actual land,
i.e, where unutilized allocations are carried over.

Located within the urban core, the bulk of the Almeda Bypass Highway and the southern
CBD 2 in Tabuco, areas along segments of the Circumferential Road 2 (C-2) in San Felipe
and Balatas, as well as key intersections of the Naga-Carolina Road, these additional areas
should be more than enough to meet requirements of the city’s new commercial, services
and tourism development, which are expected to further drive the city’s economic growth.

3. Agricultural. A total of 4,352 hectares will comprise the city’s agricultural resource base,
representing 52% of the total. This is brought about by a net increase of 917 hectares over
the 2000 level, or an 10 percentage point improvement over the sector’s 42% share in the
previous plan. This is mainly due to the elimination of agri-ecotourism as a separate land
use category and integration under agricultural use. Previous agri-ecotourism areas are
instead treated as a special overlay zone on the new CLUP map. This allocation gives
substance to the thrust to protect the city’s prime agricultural areas, especially in the upland
barangays, provide clarity in terms of policy and address underperformance due to idling
of lands for speculative purposes. At the same, it will support and promote high-value
agriculture production and processing aimed at putting these agricultural areas to
productive use.

4. Industrial. A total of 214 hectares is allocated for industrial use, representing 2.2% of the
total, maintaining the 2000 level. This will be carried out by compensating for the partial
change of use in the original Pacol ecozone, which was developed into a high-end mixed
use housing project (Haciendas de Naga). To promote green growth anchored on light to
medium industrial development, this allocation under the plan supports the establishment
of an industrial estate in the area.

5. Agro-industrial. To maintain the industrial use allocation level, agro-industrial use will
be reduced. Under this plan, a total of 191 hectares will be allocated, representing 2.3% of
the total. This is 155 hectares less than the 2000 level, but should be more than enough as
the land allocations were largely unused during the last 15 years.

6. Institutional. A total of 218 hectares, on the other hand, will be allocated for institutional
use, representing 2.6% of the total, and 36 hectares higher than the 2000 level. The
additional allotment is intended to cover land requirements for basic urban services,
 BICOL UNIVERSITY
Institute of Design and Architecture
Bicol University East Campus, Legazpi City, Albay
Region V

especially in the growth centers and new settlement areas that will be established to house
the city’s additional population. This includes a proposed new campus for the Bicol State
College for Applied Science and Technology (BISCAST) and three government clusters
being proposed by the city government under its Decentralized Services Scheme (DSS).

7. Forest reserves. As pointed out above, on top of the 611 hectares or 7.2% of the total
protected area covering the Mt. Isarog National Park, a 100-meter deep forest buffer zone
will be provided, that adds around 37 hectares, bringing the city’s Protection Areas to 7.7%
of the total.

8. Parks and water bodies. These land uses, with an aggregate allocation of 75 hectares, will
see a 17-hectare increase, mainly due to three new proposed parks: (1) a 10-hectare new
park located at the intersection of the proposed C-2 and Balatas Road in Cararayan; (2) the
conversion of the Balatas Dumpsite into a 3.5-hectare green enclave; and (3) a 3.5- hectare
river park in Tabuco facing the Bicol River. These respond to sectoral consultations which
recommended that the city pursue the establishment of new parks at strategic locations
around the urban core that the people can enjoy for recreation purposes. During the
workshops facilitated by Manila Observatory, it was suggested that these new parks double
as water catchment areas, which the MNWD can look at to locate their water impounding
facility, over the next 15 years.

9. Other uses. Allocations for transportation utilities, dumpsite and cemeteries round up the
other land uses, and will see an aggregate allocation of 116 hectares, 53 more than the 2000
levels, and equivalent to 1.4% of the total land area. They will all get an increase:
Transportation utilities get an additional 35 hectares, bringing the total to 59, for a
UVExpress terminal at CBD 2 and a new PNR terminal near Almeda Highway. Allocation
for the dumpsite increases to 10 hectares located in San Isidro, which will host the city’s
new SLF-cum-WTE facility, up by 4 hectares. And cemeteries will get a total of 48
hectares, 14 hectares more than the 2000 level, to cover future requirements, including the
new public cemetery in Balatas.

10. Planned unit developments (PUDs). Finally, in addition to the above land uses, two
planned unit developments will also be promoted. These are mixed-use developments
located in Barangays Triangulo (a 90-hectare riverfront development facing Bicol River)
and Carolina (an 85-hectare development along the Carolina-San Isidro Road). The
combined 175 hectares of PUDs under the plan do not represent a separate land use but
will be deducted from the allocations described above.

Special Overlays

In addition to these regular land use categories, six special overlays also form part of the
new land use plan.

1. Hazard Overlay Zones. Guided by the Climate, Meteo-Hydrological and Geophysical

Hazard Maps developed in partnership with the Manila Observatory, two hazard overlay
zones will be applied to Naga City. The first would be a Multiple Hazard Zone that will
cover parts of the city center (including both CBD I and II), which are susceptible to both
flooding and seismic hazards. The other would be a Landslide Susceptibility Zone confined
to the Mt. Isarog protected area in Barangay Panicuason and its environs.

In the case of the former, although the risk is manageable, development will be allowed
with limitations, especially in highly susceptible areas. In terms of land use, residential,
commercial and industrial use will be allowed subject to appropriate density, building
design, and environmental restrictions.

In case of the latter, it will be designated as a No-Build Zone where buildings for human
habitation or use as well as critical facilities will not be allowed, except for the following
uses: nature reserve; agriculture; parks and outdoor recreation spaces; access roads,
pathways, and open parking areas.

2. Heritage District. With an area of around 10.5 hectares, the Heritage District Overlay
encompasses CBD I, bounded by Ateneo Avenue to the north, Igualdad (now J. Hernandez
Avenue) to the west and Naga River to the east and south.

The identification of Naga’s heritage district in the CLUP is a key step towards formalizing
its designation as a heritage zone in line with Section 12, Article IV of RA 10066, also
known as the “National Heritage Act of 2009.” Said law provides that “the National
Historical Commission of the Philippines, in consultation with the HLURB or other
concerned agencies, shall designate Heritage Zones to protect the historical and cultural
integrity of a geographical area.”

In addition, the Implementing Rules and Regulations of RA 10066 provide that local
government units will have to apply with the NHCP or the National Museum for the
designation of a heritage zone within its jurisdiction. Declared heritage zones shall be
subject to the environmental impact assessment laws, rules, and regulations of the DENR
 BICOL UNIVERSITY
Institute of Design and Architecture
Bicol University East Campus, Legazpi City, Albay
Region V

and shall henceforth be considered a culturally sensitive area. Moreover, a heritage zone
shall be maintained by the LGU concerned, in close coordination with the appropriate
cultural agency.

3. Agri-Ecotourism Zone. As pointed out above, this overlay covers the 1,196 hectares of
land previously classified as agri-ecotourism in the 2000 CLUP. This new overlay zone,
which corresponds to the East Highlands Ecotourism growth area identified under the
city’s investment code. is aimed at attaining the goals of environmental conservation,
agriculture and tourism economic development which form part of this plan’s five
development thrusts.

In addition to those uses that may be allowed in the base Agricultural areas, the following
are uses and activities will be allowed in this special overlay zone: accommodation
facilities; boardwalks, dining facilities, water-oriented recreation and sports rental
equipment shops; tourism-oriented retail shops; and foreign exchange shops or
establishments.

4. Circulation System. Though technically not a zone, this overlay defines the proposed
circulation system that will link the various development areas within city, as well as
neighboring municipalities, especially within the Metro Naga area.

The major road projects anchor the City Road Network Development Plan (CRNDP),
2016- 30, which seeks to promote equitable and sustainable spatial development in Naga
by providing an efficient and responsive road system for easy movement of people,
services, goods and information needed for citywide development.

5. Transit-Oriented Development. Building on the PNR South Long Haul Project’s

proposed new alignment in Naga City, including the construction of a new Naga City
terminal, and the ongoing construction of the P480-million Almeda-Mabulo Bypass road
by the DPWH, the city shall implement a TOD strategy which will provide non-motorized
transport (NMT) facilities, especially protected bicycle and pedestrian lanes. The bypass
road will not only connect Almeda Highway to the Maharlika Highway in Barangay
Mabulo, but will also provide an alternate access to the planned Bicol River Esplanade and
the 2.3-hectare People’s Park and Recreation Center (PPRC). This connection will ensure
that the southern CBD 2 will be ringed by NMT facilities, making it ideal to anchor the
city’s TOD strategy.

The city’s draft Local Public Transport Route Plan (LPTRP) has incorporated these key
features and strategies in defining both the motorized and non-motorized transportation
services and facilities in Naga.

6. Green growth. The TOD scheme above actually anchors the city’s green growth strategy,
developed with the help of World Bank technical assistance through the League of Cities
of the Philippines. Guided by the vision of sustaining Naga as “Maogmang Lugar,” the city
seeks to implement a “sponge city” urban water management strategy, based on the
 BICOL UNIVERSITY
Institute of Design and Architecture
Bicol University East Campus, Legazpi City, Albay
Region V

following five pillars of green growth: (1) Liveable Communities, (2) Employment
Opportunities, (3) Sustainable Development, (4) People and Community Empowerment,
and (4) Heritage and natural assets conservation.

As such, this strategy will be anchored on the following key projects:

- Bicol River esplanade, PPRC and mixed-use river front development built around a
floodable park
- Strategic city road network development, anchored on the TOD scheme described above
- Socialized low-rise housing projects that will provide accessible housing supply for
shorter work-to-home trips for the labor force, and
- Development of (a) urban mini-forests (Forests in our Midst or FOM project) in the urban
areas; and (b) mangrove rivers and cascading retention ponds in the peri-urban areas of
Naga.

5.5. Land Use Policies

● General Land Use Policies

1. Proximity of residential areas to places of work. The idea is to minimize home-to-work

trips, which will contribute to lower carbon footprint considering that transportation
accounts for a third of the city’s greenhouse gas emissions. This will reduce the urgency of
providing parking spaces in the downtown where scarcity is keenly felt. In the city’s case,
it means promoting the development of mixed-use settlements within the urban district and
its two major spillover regions, the Midlands or peri-urban barangays and the Southeast
Corridor.

2. Green growth anchored on Urban Nexus. Livability is a primary thrust under this plan,
which seeks to improve the quality of the human environment, among others. As such,
Naga will be maintained as a place conducive for human habitation. Consequently,
residents of the city need to be protected from industries discharging waste hazardous to
health. This means that only light to medium industrial activities shall be allowed in the
city.

Moreover, guided by Urban Nexus and Eco-town principles, the city will prioritize
achieving climate change resilient urban systems that will integrate the nexus of food,
energy, land and water.

Among others, it calls for the implementation of cross-sectoral reforms supporting green
growth. This includes climate change approaches for flood mitigation (infrastructure);
sustainable groundwater management (water); crafting of local green building policies and
the adoption of green technologies at the community level (housing); shift from fossil-
based to clean fuel-powered vehicles, and the promotion of multi-modal systems
(transportation); and promotion of renewable energy and energy efficiency/conservation
measures (energy).

Region V

3. Distribution of community services along hierarchical arrangement. Services essential

in the day-to-day life of the people, require smaller population thresholds, and need fewer
people to maintain should be located in residential neighborhoods. On the other hand, more
specialized services that require bigger catchment areas shall be located in the downtown,
the two other growth nodes, and in places central to a cluster of barangays.

4. Preservation of prime and highly productive agricultural lands and forest areas. Naga
has a fertile soil and a substantial portion of its agricultural land falls under Type “A” land
capability characterized by very good land that can be cultivated safely and requires only
simple but good farming management practices. They need to be protected; otherwise,
uncontrolled and unwise encroachment of prime agricultural land will bring about
imbalance in the city’s development potential and threaten its food security.

To promote protection of the Mt. Isarog National Park (MINP) as the city’s major
biodiversity area, there is a need to establish a multi-purpose buffer zone ringing the city’s
forested area. It will also function as a wildfire buffer, especially in the context of the
projected changes in the city’s climate, especially from drought during prolonged dry
season.

5. Expansion of commercial and light industrial areas. To maintain Naga’s

competitiveness and respond to the need of its commercial, service and industrial sectors,
new areas that will meet their requirements must be allocated in the planned expansion of
the urban core and the development of its two secondary growth centers.

6. Recovery of easements. Last but not least, the city must continue an all-out earnest effort
to recover the mandatory easements and setbacks in the planned expansion of its urban
area. Recovering public space, and making these available for public use and enjoyment,
will boost its drive to sustain competitiveness as a fast-growing, livable regional center. At
the same time, it will also reduce risks from flooding events induced by weather and climate
change.

● CCA-DRRM policies

More specifically, the general land use policies above are further articulated by the
following priority CCA-DRRM policies in the LCCAP, which are adopted in this plan.
They include:

1. Land use
- Enforce easement and buffer zone regulations
- Hazard zoning of landslide prone areas and disallowing construction of settlements
projects in these areas.
- Zoning of exposed areas to high landslide as no-build zone
- Zoning of frequently flooded area to regulate construction of schools, hospitals, water
and power plants
 BICOL UNIVERSITY
Institute of Design and Architecture
Bicol University East Campus, Legazpi City, Albay
Region V

- Strict enforcement of road easements and relocation of informal settlers occupying them
- Regulate or disallow urban expansion in frequently deep flooded areas
- Identify and zone safe areas for urban expansion and development of new towns
- Establish green parks and artificial ponds in cities to reduce flood volume

2. Flooding
- Relocate residents whose houses are frequently fully submerged to flooding;
- Relocate informal settlers occupying easement areas

3. Landslides
- Relocate residents occupying areas highly vulnerable to landslides

4. Seismic hazards
- Strictly enforce building code with safeguards against liquefaction
- Regulate construction of high rise buildings in high liquefaction prone areas
- Retrofit buildings located in highly liquefaction prone areas

5. Exposed lifeline facilities

- Assess the safety of schools and other lifeline infrastructures from natural hazards and
climate change impacts;
- Retrofit lifeline facilities, roads, bridges, hospitals and schools prone to deep flooding and
liquefaction
- Improve natural drainage and desilt rivers and remove debris obstruction;
- Construct alternative routes and bridges in areas non-flooded and non-prone to
liquefaction;
- Stabilize river banks with engineering measures upstream of bridges
- Build permanent multi-purpose evacuation center with complete basic facilities
(including water supply and electric generators) in safe locations;
- Build new schools and other lifeline facilities in sites free from flooding and not prone to
liquefaction

6. Agriculture
- Cultivate flood tolerant species of crops such as rice
- Adjust planting season to avoid flood season
- Improve water supply of communities through conservation and rainfall harvesting
technologies
- Regulate farming and construction activities (road and mining) in landslide prone areas
- Install small water retention ponds or small water impounding dams for sources of water
during drought period
- Diversity crops for ecological stability and resistance against pests and diseases;
- Adjust cropping calendar to adapt to changing rainfall patterns
- Reforestation of public lands in watersheds and promotion of agro-forestry among upland
farmers.

7. Greenhouse gas emission

- Promote use of clean fuels (Euro 4)
- Adoption of feasible renewable energy (solar, wind, hydro, biomass)
- Develop mass transport system
- Promote the construction of green buildings (vertical greenery and rooftop gardens)
through tax incentives and recognition awards;
- Establish green parks, artificial ponds and green buildings in the central business district
- Build walkways in CBD to encourage walking
- Promote use of electric-driven tricycles and jeepneys

8. Evidence-based policymaking
- Develop and institutionalize data reporting system on energy consumption to be used by
the city LGU
- Issue policy requiring industries to submit information for GHG inventory every time
they renew their permit to operate
- Issue ordinances providing economic incentives to private firms, and homeowners to
undertake CCA and DRR measures at the community level,

5.6. Proposed Major Spatial Programs and Projects

To support the plan, the following major spatial programs and projects are proposed for
implementation, with a total funding requirement of around P 4.6 billion. They fall under
three major categories: the city road network development projects that will require around
1.5 billion, other sectoral projects that will require around P1.7 billion; and climate change
adaptation and mitigation projects that will require around P1.5 billion.

City Road Network Development Projects

Naga’s CRNDP, 2016-30 seeks to promote equitable and sustainable spatial development
in the city by providing an efficient and responsive road system for easy movement of
people, services, goods and information needed for citywide development over the next 15
years.

To reach that goal, it focuses on attaining four objectives: (1) Improve access between the
city center, its other growth nodes, and residential areas; (2) Improve connectivity between
Naga and its neighboring towns; (3) Upgrade the quality of the road network by
incorporating provision for non-motorized transportation (NMT) options, and (4) Increase
the length of the existing road network by at least 50% (100 kms).

The table below summarizes the priority projects under the CRNDP, which is built around
the development of six circumferential roads, a radial road and a connector road.

Priority Sectoral Projects

On December 16, 2016, the City Development Council adopted an updated Local
Development Investment Program (LDIP) that the Sangguniang Panlungsod subsequently
approved. Although multi-sectoral in nature, the updated investment plan also includes
projects with spatial development implications.

Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Projects

The final draft of the city’s LCCAP, prepared with technical assistance from ADB and
SEARCA, took off from the original local development investment program (LDIP)
embodied under the city government’s Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP), 2011-
20. Critical consideration was given to low cost, no regrets technology where operations
and maintenance is affordable. Projects ensuring compliance to social safeguards and
vulnerability reduction were considered urgent and non-negotiable, and were expanded and
made climate change resilient. Moreover, new projects were identified and prioritized
based on results of various assessments and studies conducted. Table 1.30 summarizes
these climate adaptation projects.

6. Conclusion

As stated in the document, Naga city is the "Most Competitive Component City”
for 2015 and 2016. With their comprehensive land use plan (CLUP) it ensures continuity
through time and provides succeeding governmental bodies with a uniform framework for
resolving land-use concerns and promotes economic developments. The written document
gives guidance for upcoming actions during a 10 to 15 year period following plan
implementation.

Based on their vision “Maogmang Lugar'', it prioritizes good government and

responsible citizenship, and places the Filipinos hopes and aspirations at the forefront. In
addition it views good governance as a means to achieving the pursuit of pleasure in all of
its forms. It also includes long-term goals and objectives for all activities that have an
impact on local government.

In order to achieve the city's "Maogmang Lugar" vision, it is important to choose

the optimal site for the settlements, production areas, infrastructure, and protection zones,
as well as the various support services and facilities that must be developed. The city's
desired urban form is identified based on the results of the sub-sector mapping workshops,
which indicated complementarity across sectoral outputs across the board, with the
exception of where to situate Naga's residential development. While the five sectors are
beginning to agree that Naga should revert to its original urban structure as a compact city,
something that the last CLUP likewise sought to do but failed to do.

Lastly, the major spatial programs and projects introduced are the city road network
development projects, climate change adaptation and mitigation projects, and priority
sectoral projects which are important for the growth of the nation's fundamental needs and
should be prioritized over other industries. It comprises agriculture, micro and small
enterprises, education, housing, export credit and advances to weaker sections.
