v. Narrative Description of the Proposed Site, Key Features and an

Example of Similar Projects

The proposed site of the project is located in Barangay Catalanacan, a

nearby barangay in the city proper (approximately 500 meters from the
boundary of Poblacion West and Catalanacan). The site has a total land
area of 21,000 square meters, more or less, located in the western portion of
the city proper. It is currently classified as an agricultural land which is
promising to be the best site in establishing an urban park considering its
accessibility in any urban establishments and other government entities such
as Local Government Unit, Philippine National Police (PNP), Bureau of Fire
Protection (BFP), newly constructed Public Market, Department of Natural
Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), private and public schools and
other religious sector.

In relation to the contribution to the National Agenda, The project shall

develop a mini-forest which consists of nurseries of both forest and fruit-
bearing trees, which shall be planted within the periphery of more than 2
hectares. Propagation of forest and fruit-bearing trees will be managed by
the Local Environmental and Natural Resources Office (LENRO) to ensure
the sustainability of the project. Additional features will include the
construction of fountains, access roads within the area, landscaping,
construction of office for the maintenance staff, perimeter fence to secure the
area, comfort rooms for the visitors and pathways. The proposed project will
attract more tourists and eyeing the possibility in the increase of visitors
every year. The project will serve as Model Park to other LGUs that can
duplicate them in their respective communities. Business establishment also
increase around the area.

The concept was based on the prestigious development of Central

Luzon State University (CLSU). Central Luzon State University is the

9
university built within the forest area in year 1907. Forest and fruit bearing
trees were grown alongside of main campus road, Maharlika Highway that
traverse in the university, and to the open spaces to address the university’s
greening program. Propagation of grafted seedlings of different fruit trees
such as mango, chico, bell fruit and other species of grafted trees were sold
to private individuals for their propagation in their areas. CLSU today is one
of the top sites in the Science City of Muňoz frequently visited by tourists,
both local and international visitors, considering its fresh ambience
environment and being the home of research and development institutions.

viii. Similar Development as a Reference

As stated in previous discussion, Central Luzon State University

(CLSU) was the model of the technical staff of the city in the
conceptualization of the proposed project. CLSU was one of the top
universities in the Philippines portraying a perfect picture of balance and
sustainable environment, housing components for staffs and students and
accessibility to any business structures needed by a community. The
presence of dormitories, comfort rooms, open spaces for recreational
activities, concreted roads, colleges, lagoons, landmarks, securities,
streetlights and other amenities. Pictures show the features of some of the
CLSU’s prestigious marks defining the essence of being a model park.

B3. Project Impact – Contribution to the National Agenda

The proposed project is in line with the national agenda on greening program
since the proposed project is consist of establishment of mini-forest in urban area.
Propagation of both forest and fruit-bearing trees was an added feature.
Propagated seedlings will be utilized in reforestation of open spaces and public land
on the Reforestation in urban areas within the city will be a great help to minimize
the growth of hazardous gases such as carbon monoxide and chlorofluorocarbons
which greatly affects the widening of holes in ozone layer.

The construction of new access road will help the city to establish housing
projects for the employees and locals in the city. Relatively, it is an initial project to
address and support the National Urban Development and Housing Framework
which promotes adequate networks of public open spaces of the National
Government. This new road will be a great help to the on-going housing project of
the National Housing Authority.

The project also addresses the UN 2030 Agenda-SDG11 and the new urban
agenda considering that the establishment of City Public Park was near to the

15
 business establishments, such as public market, government and private
institutions such as DENR, PNP, City Hall and schools.

The Twenty One Thousand square meters (2.1 hectares) lot to be developed
as Public Park which is equivalent 1.52% of the total open spaces will be the
intended area to be developed for public open space.

B4. Project Impact – Local Development Targets

One of the priority projects of the city included in the Annual Investment Plan
(AIP) was the construction/establishment of City Park. This is in line with the city’s
plan to create a public park that can enjoy by physically active and nature-loving
individuals.

Currently, the parking area in front of the city hall was served as the public
park. Joggers, bikers, skate boarders and other sports related enthusiasts use the
existing parking area as their public park during their physical enhancement
activities. These scenarios will bring public to danger considering that parking is
already made of concrete and vehicles were proliferated around. Other predicament
to consider is during office hour, there was no public park to consider where the
public park that the individual enjoy was served as parking area of employees and
constituents of the city.

The Construction/Establishment of Public Park will resolve the problem on

open space for Public Park and partially address problem on environmental issues
of deterioration.
