Chapter 7
THE ZONING ORDINANCE
7.1 Introduction
Zoning is the division of a community into zones or districts e.g., commercial,
residential, industrial, institutional, etc. according to present and potential
uses of land to maximize, regulate and direct development in accordance
with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan of the community. It takes the form
of a locally enacted ordinance.
Zoning is concerned primarily with the use of land and the control of density
of population through imposition of building heights, bulk, open space and
density provisions in a given area.
7.2 Benefits
The benefits attributed to Zoning are as follows:
o Maximum, optimum use of land based on suitability/capability e.g., use of
prime agricultural land for agricultural purposes;
o Promotion of public health and safety through compatible arrangement of
various land uses e.g., residential area should maintain considerable
distance from industries;
o Preservation of desirable character and real estate values of the district or
zone; and,
o Promotion of the rational and orderly growth of the community.
7.3 Legal Basis

The power to zone is derived from the police power of the state, which is
vested in the legislative body the power to make, ordain and establish
reasonable laws, statutes or ordinance, which promote the general welfare. It
is specified and defined in a number of laws and directives, namely:
o 1987 Constitution
Article III, Section 6. “The use of property bears a social function and all
economic agents shall contribute to the common good. Individuals and
private groups, including corporations, cooperatives and similar collective
organizations, shall have the right to own, establish and operate economic
enterprises subject to the duty of the state to promote distributive justice
and to intervene when the common good demands.”

Article XIII, Section 1. “The Congress shall give highest priority to the
enactment of measures that protect and enhance the right of all the
people to human dignity, reduce social and economic inequalities… to this
end, the state shall regulate the acquisition, ownership, use and
disposition of property and its increments.”
o Section 20 of RA 7160 a.k.a. The New Local Government Code
Reclassification of Lands. A city or municipality may, through an

ordinance passed by the Sanggunian after conducting public hearings for
the purpose, authorize the reclassification of agricultural lands or provide
for the manner of their utilization or disposition in the following cases:
- when the land ceases to be economically feasible and sound for

agricultural purposes as determined by the Department of Agriculture
(DA); and,
- where the land shall have substantially greater economic value for
residential, commercial or industrial purposes, as determined by the
Sanggunian concerned, provided that such reclassification shall be
limited to the following percentage of the total agricultural land area at
the time of the passage of the ordinance:
- for highly urbanized and independent component cities = 15

percent;
- for component cities and first to third class municipalities = ten

percent;
- for fourth to sixth class municipalities = five percent, provided

further, that agricultural lands distributed to agrarian reform
beneficiaries pursuant to RA No. 6657 otherwise known as the
Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law, shall not be affected by the
said reclassification and the conversion of such lands into other
purposes shall be governed by Section 65 of said Act.
- the President may, when public interest so requires and such upon
recommendation of the National Economic and Development
Authority (NEDA), authorize a city or municipality to reclassify lands
in excess of the limits set in the next preceding paragraph; and,

continue to prepare their respective comprehensive land use plans
enacted through zoning ordinances, which shall be the primary and
dominant bases for the future use of land resources, and the
industrial expansion shall be taken into consideration in the
preparation of such plans.

required, said approval shall not be withheld for more than 30 days from
receipt of the application. Failure to act on the application within the

Section 3. Zone Boundaries. The locations and boundaries of the
abovementioned zones into which the City was divided are hereby identified
and specified. These zone boundaries refer to the Zoning Map and Proposed
Comprehensive Land Use Map.
1. Settlement Area/Residential Zone (R-1, R-2, R-3 and R-4) – the
residential zones in the Zoning/Urban Map are all the areas colored
yellow, yellow orange, gold and light brown.
2. Agricultural Zone (AGZ) – the agricultural zones in the Zoning/Urban Map
are all the areas colored green.
3. General Commercial Zone (GCZ) – the commercial zones in the
Zoning/Urban Map are all the areas colored red and pink.

6. Infrastructure Facilities – includes economic, social and administrative

facilities.
Section 4. Interpretation of Zone Boundaries. In the interpretation of the
boundaries for any of the zones indicated on the Zoning Map, the following
rules shall apply:
1. Where zone boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow
the center of streets or highways, the street or highway right-of-way
lines, shall be construed to be the boundaries;
2. Where zone boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow
the lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be the boundaries;
3. Where zone boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately
parallel to the center lines or right-of way lines of streets and highways,
such zone boundaries shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at
such distance there from as indicated in the zoning map. If no distance is
given, such dimension shall be determined by the use of the scale shown
in said zoning map;
4. Where the boundary of a zone follows approximately a railroad line, such
boundary shall be deemed to be the railroad right-of-way;
5. Where the boundary of a zone follows a stream, lake or other bodies of
water, said boundary line shall be deemed to be at the limit of the political
jurisdiction of the community unless otherwise indicated. Boundaries

indicated as following shorelines shall be construed to follow such

shorelines and in the event of change in the shorelines, shall be construed
as moving with the actual shorelines;
6. Where a lot of one ownership, as of record at the effective date of this
Ordinance, is divided by a zone boundary line, the lot shall be construed
to be within the zone where the major portion of the lot is located. In
case the lot is bisected by the boundary line, it shall fall in the zone where
the principal structure falls;
7. Where zone boundary is indicated as one lot deep, said depth shall be
construed to be the average lot depth of the lots involved within each
particular city block. Where, however, any lot has a depth greater than
said average, the remaining portion of said lot shall be construed as
covered by the one lot deep zoning district provided the remaining portion
has an area less than 50 percent of the total area of the entire lot. If the
remaining portion has an area equivalent to 50 percent or more of the
total area of the lot then the average lot depth shall apply to the lot which
shall become a lot divided and covered by two or more different zoning
districts, as the case may be.
In case of any remaining doubt as to the location of any property along
zone boundary lines, such property shall be considered as falling within
the less restrictive zone; and,
8. Where a zone boundary line is indicated in the Official Zoning Map, one
block deep or a fraction thereof, such boundary line shall be scaled or
determined by the Zoning Administrator/Official.
