 CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

Land is recognized as a major factor in the development of cities and municipalities. lt is a

limited resource that needs to be properly managed to ensure its best and optimum use
for sustainable development. As population increases, the need for land also increases
as more land is required for food production and other land uses to support development.
Thus, in the light of this assumption, land use planning is a necessary tool for the proper
and rational management of this limited resource. The land use plan serves as the guide
for the direction of grovvth of any locality.

However, when the land use plan is no longer responsive to the requirements of the
current development trends in a locality, it explicitly signals an urgent need for its revision.

ln the case of Antipolo City, the fast pace of urbanization within and around it, has caused
c the Cily Government to update the old land use plan to make it more responsive to the
j
= presenl needs of the City.

ru_
tr'!
<q
>i
Further, this updated land use plan serves as a vital instrument to minimize the cost of
development, prevent incompatible land uses and environmental degradation, as well as
unpleasant or blighted urban areas that are normally associated with unplanned
development. This updated land use plan also provides the direction to achieve and
maximize the City's growth potential as it enables the City Government to pursue a
o
t balanced development strategy for the City.

d 6 1.2 LEGAL BASIS

o
The 1987 Constitution, particularly Article Xlll, Section 1, provides that Congress shall
give highest priority to the enaclment of measures to protect and enhance people's rights
through the equitable distribution of wealth for the common good and therefore, the
acquisition, ownership and disposition of property shall be regulated by the State. This
provision is reaffirmed by another Constitutional provision, specifically Article Xll, Section
6, which provides for the promotion of distributive iuslice and intervention of the State
when the common good is at stake.

Aside from the aforementioned Constitutional provisions, the Local Government Code of
1991or RA 7160 speciflcally Sections 20 (c):447 (2xvii) & asB (2Xvii); 447 (z)(ix) & 458
(2)(ix);447 (ax2xvi) & 458(a)(2)(vi); a44 (b)(3)(vii) & 455(b)(s)(vii) provides that cities and
municipalities are mandated to prepare their respective Comprehensive Land Use Plans
enacted through Zoning Ordinances that serve as bases for the use of their land
resou rces.

ln addition, cities and municipalities are mandated "to continue to prepare and update .
their Comprehensive Land Use Plans" in conformity with the land use planning standards
prescribed by the Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB) and other national
policies, as provided for in Sections 1(a) and 2 (a,e,O of Executive Order No. 72.

 1.3 PLANNING APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY

1 .3.1 Bottom-Up Approach

During the land use planning process, barangay Inputs have been considered through
barangay-based mapping activities. Workshops have been conducted in all sixteen (16)
barangays to identify aclual land uses as well as issues and concems relative to land
using activities that have social and economic impacts on the physical development of
each barangay. The absence of barangay development plans was compensated
somehow by the active participation of the barangay officials and other development
stakeholders in the idenlification of inconsistencies or incompatibilities in land uses in
their respective areas.

1 .3.2 f op- to-Bottom Approach

The development of Antipolo City is an integral part of the overall development of Rizal
Province in particular. and Region lV-A or CALABARZON, in general. ln this sense, the
4 planning process observed the hierarchy of linkages with the higher plans. Thus, an
E integrated planning approach was employed. anchored on a review of existing
j
developments and documents. The planning approach utilized recent trends in urban-
\
(/, rural analysis, planning and design. Multi-level planning consistency check has been
uI
g.- iterated in the following areas: I ) consislency of policies with the regional and national
o <3 frameworks; and 2) relationship of the City's economic sphere with the rest of Rizal

 1.5 LINKAGES OF THE CLUP WITH OTHER FRAMEWORK PLANS

As mentioned early on, the development of Antipolo City is an integral part of the total
development of the province of Rizal. The intensity of development within the City is the
result of the complex socio-economic growlh trends and the public-private sector
decisions that happened and continue to take place in its neighboring municipalities as
well as in the Region in general. Wherever is the direction of growth, it creates various
environmental concems and socio-economic challenges that need to be addressed both
in the provincial as well as in the regional context- All throughout the planning process,
developmenlal goals and environmental concems have been taken into consideration
based on the following documents, to ensure consistency of policies with the provincial,
regional and national frameworks:

 CHAPTER 2
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND AND DEVELOPMENT
2.1 BRIEF HISTORY

The early written account of the City's history was recorded in 1578 by Franciscan
missionaries who came to Christianize the natives, majority of whom were from the
Dumagat Tribe. Early records referred to the nalives as Tagal, lndians, and Blacks (the
Aetas). These missionaries built the church at Boso-boso.

ln 1591, the Jesuits replaced the Franciscans in Antipolo. They built a chapel in Sitio Sta.
Cruz. ln the meanlime, the village of Antipolo becarne a town in 1650.

By 1850, the town was still part of the Province of Tondo. The Province was divided in
two wherein some towns were placed under Manila while others were placed under the
District of Morong. ln 1853, Antipolo was formally placed under the dislrict then known as
Los Monles de San Mateo, and later named as the District of Morong in 1857.
4
=
--i r It was during those years that the Virgin of Antipolo gained thousands of devotees.

t g, ro Devotees from Manila and nearby towns and provinces flocked to Antipolo on foot along
ul mountain trails and springs. Most of them were fair-skinned (the Tagalogs). Some
lD E,-
o
UJ
<s frequent visitors stayed and adopted Antipolo as their homes. Among the devolees were
the young Jose Rizal and his mother.

{L
<o Two months after Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo declared the Philippine lndependence on June
o
E 12, 1898 in Kawit, Cavite, Antipolo formally.loined the revolutionary government and it
was made the capital of Morong. But when the country was occupied by the Americans
d E
o on June 4, 1899, the revolutionary government was transfened to the town of Tanay.
o After the civil government was restored in 1901 by the Americans, Valentin Sumulong
became the flrst Presidente (Alkalde) of the town. The province of Morong was renamed
Rizal Province and some of the towns near Manila were made part of the province.

ln 1903, Antipolo, Teresa and Boso-boso were.ioined under Act No. 1942, with Antipolo
as lhe center of governmenl. On January 1, '1919 under Executive Act No. 57, Teresa
was segregated from Antipolo.

The first town hall was erected in 1925 during the incumbency of Mayor Jose Carigma

ln 1929, German San Jose (Gerry Brandy) of Malate, Manila. composed the song
"Antipolo" (Tayo na sa Antipolo) which immediately made national attention.

During the Second World War (1941-1945) many able-bodied men from Antipolo joined
the Philippine Scout and the USAFFE and fought in the bloody battle of Bataan. The
liberation of Antipolo from the Japanese forces was bloody and devastating. On February
17, 1945, Antipolo was heavily bombarded by American planes. ln the midst of
widespread conflagration and heavy civilian casualties, the people of Antipolo evacuated
to Sitio Kulaike and to Angono, Santolan, and Marikina. The bombings on March 6-7,
'1945 destroyed the church building. After twelve days of battle, the American 43'd lnfantry
Division liberated the town on March 12. 1945.

ln 1960, the Poblacion wrdened. The Sumulong Highway was constructed and the people
from outlying towns migrated and occupied the hills and mountain sides.

Antipolo City Comprehensive Land Use Plan 2010-2020 Page 10

 ln the '1970s,the Marikina-lnfanta Road better known as the Marcos Highway was
constructed traversing the mountains of Antipolo. COGEO Village came to being and a
large portion of the town was proposed for Lungsod Silangan. The barrios, then known
only as Uno, Dos, Tres and Cuatro, were renamed Barangay San Roque, San Jose, San
lsidro and Dela Paz.

On February 1 3, .1998 then President Fidel V. Ramos signed into law the bill .iointly
sponsored by Congressmen Gilbert "Bibit" Duavit and Egmidio "Ding" Tanjuatco, making
the Municipality of Antipolo a component city of the Provinc€ of Rizal. Republic Act No.
8508 became the Charter of the City of Antipolo. On April 04, 1998, the voters of Antipolo
ratrlled in a plebiscite the new political status of Antipolo as a City.

2.2 SITUATIONER

2.2.1 Geographical Location, Land Area, Political Subdivisions

4 Antipolo is located in the northern half of Rizal Province but rather close to its meridional
center. lt lies approximately between latitudes 14' 32' and '14'45' north and longitudes
j=
121" 6' and'121" 24' easl. lt is bounded on the north by the Municipality of Rodriguez, on

the northwest by the City of fvlarikina and the Municipality of San Mateo, on the southwest
by the Municipalities of Taytay and Cainta, on the southeast by the Municipalities of
Tanay, Teresa, and Baras, and on the east by Quezon Province.

IL
d- The Poblacion is approximately 29 kilometers from Metro Manila. The City can be
o accessed from Marikina Caty via the Sumulong Highway; exlends to the Poblacion from
d Cubao, Quezon City via the Marcos Highway; extends eastward to Quezon Province
\l o
through the l\rarikina-lnfanta Road; and from Cainta/Taytay, via Ortigas Exlension.
=
o Based on its City Charter, Antipolo City has a total land area of 38,504.44 hectares. lt is
subdivided into 16 barangays namely: San Roque, San Jose, San lsidro, De la Paz,
Cupang, Mayamot, Mambugan, Calawis, Dalig, Beverly Hills, Sta. Cruz, San Luis,
lnarawan, San Juan, Bagong Nayon, and Munting Dilaw.

2.2.2 Topography and Geology

Antipolo may be described as generally hilly and mountainous with the hilly portions lying
in the west and the mountainous areas concentrated in the east as part of the Siena
Madre Mountain Range. Well-watered valleys are located in the middle of the city and in
the northern and southern edges. Plateaus of over 200 meters above sea level are seen
in the western half of the City, including the site of the Poblacion and portions of Brgys.
Cupang and San Juan. ln lhe easlern half, these are seen in Brgys. Calawis and San
Jose overlooking the Boso-Boso River Valley to the west.

The 0-'18% gradients comprise 23,871 .82 hectares or 620/0 of the city's total land area.
These areas are suited for agriculture and urban use and abound in the eastern half of
the City along the length of the Boso-Boso River and the Pintong Bocaue area (Brgy. San
Juan) at the middle of the City. The 18-50o/o slopes totaling 14,344.94 hectares or 37.3o/o
are scattered all over the landscape and are good for silviculture or orchards. The above
50% gradients occupy only 288 hectares and occurring as patches in the southern and
northern portions near the mid-section of the City.

ln terms of allitude, approximately 94.Oyo ot a total of 36,176.17 hectares of Antipolo have

elevations of 500 meters and below. These elevations are concentrated in the westem
and soulhern sections of the City. Elevations like these are good for raising warm
Antipolo City Comprehensive Land Use Plan201.0-2020 Page 11
 lowland crops and for urban development. The cool elevations that are more than 500
meters above sea level total to 2,328 hectares. These are found in the northern and
eastem edges.

ln terms of geologic structure, Antipolo is predominantly a folded area. lts hilly and rugged
terrain is a product of diastrophic folding processes. During this period of orogenic
processes, the frontal collision between the Asiatic and Paciflc plates crumpled lheir
edges, resulting in vulcanism and the formation of meridional mounlain syslems marked
by synclines and anticlines. This is evident in the mountains of the Philippines such as
Sierra Madre Mounlains on whose foothills lies the City of Antipolo.

Antipolo's land use is calegorized as urban and rural. ln the year 2010, the urban land
uses (residential, commercial, induslrial, institulional, parks and recreation, tourism)
accounted lot 22.66"/o of the City's total land area. The largest allocation was for
residential \7,467.55 hectares) use. Commercial use occupied 298.'16 hectares which are
concentrated in the Poblacion and Brgy. Mayamot. lnduslrial land uses found in Brgy.
Mayamot and in the southern edges of the city adjacent to Teresa, Angono and Baras
covered a total area of 242.86 hectares. Agro-industrial use covered a lolal ol 172.14
hectares parlicularly found in Sitio Pinugay, Brgy. San Jose in the southeastern part of
the City.
Antipolo's rural land uses comprise aboel TTok of the city's iurisdiction. This is because of
the large Marikina Watershed that is part of the city's tenitory. A large part of the area is
underutilized and could be developed for agricultural use. There is a total of 26,679.88

Among the City's 16 barangays, six have low flood susceptibility; two have low-to-
moderate susceptibility (Beverly Hills & Dela Paz); and eight are highly susceptible.
These highly susceptible barangays are Mayamot, Cupang, Calawis, lnarawan, San Jose
(Lower), San Roque, Mambugan and Muntindilaw. These areas experience perennial
flooding that reaches at least three meters, often caused by the swelling of the
creeks/rivers flowing quickly towards the low-lying areas aggravated by poor drainage

The geographical and geological features of Antipolo City expose its communities to
several natural and human-induced hazards. Antipolo City had its share of disaster
experiences such as the landslide at Cherry Hills Subd, Brgy. San Luis in 1999,
considered as one of the worst human-induced landslide in the country. These hazards,
both natural and human-induced, cause physical constraints in the development of the

 Out of the 16 barangays in the City, three (3) have no potential hazards at all, while nine
(9) experience both flooding and rain-induced landslide. As mentioned early on, some of
the barangays, due to their geo-physical characleristics, are prone to both flooding and
landslide. These barangays are the most vulnerable areas when continuous raining
occurs. ln terms of geologic hazards, there are no available data on these at present.

The Table I below has been adopted from the dralt study by the NEDA, UNDP and
AusAid to measure the likelihood of hazard occurrence in the City.

 ln a study conducted by the Provincial Planning & Development Office (PPDO) of the
Province of Rizal, it was mentioned that betlveen 1998 and 2010, there was an average
17.23 typhoons that occuned in the country. Though, an average of 25 typhoons
occurred in 2003 and 2004.

ln the province of Rizal, there is an average of at least one typhoon directly hitting the
province within an interval of two years. Typhoon Florita that occurred in July 2006
brought heavy rains and triggered landslides in many parts of Rizal especially in
the low-lying municipalities. ln September of that same year, Typhoon Milenyo struck
CATABARZON and the NCR, said to be one of the strongest that ever occurred in the
region. Typhoon Chedeng brought heavy rains that caused heavy flooding in the low-lying
areas of the province particularly in the municipalities of Cainta, San Mateo and
Montalban and some lowJying parts of Antipolo City. ln September 2009, Typhoon
Ondoy was reported to be the worst and most devastating weather disturbance that ever
occurred in the Region for more than 30 years that resulted in heavy downpours and
flooding.

iE Based on the same study by the PPDO, it was reported that Antipolo City has a total of
728.02 hectares that are highly susceptible areas (HAS) to flooding and 219.5 hectares
j that are moderately susceptible (MSA). ln these areas, a total population of 11,479
comprising 5,717 and 5,761 persons are estimated to be affected, respectively.
o
fr\
d_
o
Llt
<q On the other hand, based on the lvlGB assessment, these highly susceptible areas are
o { >.' "likely to experience flood heights of greater than 1 .5 meters and/or flood duration of more
E than three days". Said areas are prone to flashfloods and/or also immediately flooded
c
0 d-
o during heavy rains of several hours. ln areas lhat are moderately susceptible, "flood
v heights of .05 to 'l .5 meters and/or flood duration of one to three days" are likely to occur.
Flooding in these areas is experienced during a prolonged and extensive rainfall.
=
d o
(J ln terms of rain-induced landslide, Antipolo City's topography and/or geologic structure
are considered as important factors for ils occurrence. The City is generally hilly and
mountainous with the hilly portions lying in the west and the mountainous areas
concentrated in the east as part of lhe Sierra Madre Mountain Range. Well-watered
valleys are located in the middle of the city and in the northern and southern edges.
Plateaus of over 200 meters above sea level are seen in the western half of the City,
including the site of the Poblacion and portions of Brgys. Cupang and San Juan. ln the
eastern half, these are seen in Brgys. Calawis and San Jose overlooking the Boso-Boso
River Valley to the west. ln terms of slope, the 0-18o/o gradients comprise 23,871 .A2
hectares or 620/o of the city's total land area. These areas are suited for agriculture and
urban use and abound in the eastern half of the City along the length of the BosG.Boso '
River and the Pintong Bocaue area (Brgy. San Juan) at the middle of the City. The 18-
50% slopes totaling 14,344.94 hectares ot 37.3yo are scattered all over the landscape
and are good for silviculture or orchards. The above 50% gradients occupy only 999.68
hectares and occuning as patches in the southern and northern portions near the mid-
section of the City.

The unstable slopes, amount and intensity of rainfall and the type of soil in many areas
are Iikely considered as factors in the City's vulnerability to landslides. The Study made
by the PPDO indicated that highly susceptible areas (HAS) to landslide cover 14,973.91
hectares; moderately susceptible areas (MSA), 13,1AO.74: and low susceptible areas
(LSA), 5,163.13 hectares- The rest ofthe city's total area is not susceptible to landslide at
all. This covers an area of 5,186.66. The estimated total population that would be
potentially affected is roughly 633,763 spread over highly, moderately and low
susceptibility areas.

Antipolo City Comprehensive Land Use Plan 2010-2020 Pagt 25

 ln the area of agriculture, the PPDO Study did not have data on the potenlially flood-
affected agricultural areas in Antipolo City. However, there is a lolal of 2,557.28 hectares
of agricultural areas that are susceptible to rain-induced landslide. Of this total, 396.76
are highly susceptible, 1 ,249.30 are moderately susceptible and 911.22 are low
susceptible areas. The City is one of the three most susceptible areas in the province of
Rizal in terms of agricultural size, next to Pililla and Tanay, respectively. Thus, it is one
among the three LGUS that have to be given top priority for sound technical interventions.
These interventions may include slope stabilization technology, reforestation, and other
similar mitigation measures-

The PPDO Study used three measures lo assess the vulnerability of the agnculture
sector in the province of Rizal. These are sensitivity, exposu/e and adaptive capacity. The
study defined sensitivity as "lhe degree to which a system responds to a change in
climatic conditions". ln the sensitivity analysis. the criteria used are lhe presence of
rivers/streams, dependence on inigation and duration of drought. For Antipolo City, its
stream and river systems are not susceptible to temperature or climate change based on
its rating of 0.06 which is considered low susceptibility. The presence o{ several rivers,
streams, and other water bodies results lo lesser impact of drought in the agricultural
production ot the City. Relative to the sensitivity criterion on dependence on inigation,
4 Antipolo City got a rating of 0.09 which was considered as very low since the City has
less lhan 10% of agricultural areas that are dependenl on irrigation. This means thal the
= City's agricultural lands have low risk of being affected by climate change and its
a\
lu
corresponding hazards.
{ d-
o
trl
<1 ln terms of the measure ol exposure, the PPDO Study defined it as "the extent of the
o
v 0 >-- ecosystem and/or human settlements as well as the types and values of assets that are
TL
d5 at risk or most likely to be affected by climate change and its altendant hazards". The
o
tr
Study pointed out that Antipolo City got a very low rating of 0.08 which means lhat the
city's production areas are not at risk and the impact of drought had not been felt much
il = during its last two occunences in the province.
o
o Relative to the City's adaptive capacity, meaning "the general ability of institutions,
systems, and individuals to ad.iust to potential harms such as climate change", the PPDO
Study showed that Antipolo City got a rating of 0.12 in its small scale irrigation program;
0.12 in crop diversification practices; 0.15 in livelihood diversification: and another 0.15 in
cloud seeding program. This means a "very high" adaptive capacity of the City in
connection with the aforemenlioned programs and praclices which reflect its low
susceptibility to the adverse effects of climate change or variability. However, the City's
Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Offlce (DRRMO) should take cognizance of
this PPDO Study and should still take precautionary measures by educating vulnerable
groups in high risk communities to make them more aware and prepared for whatever
worst case scenario that comes their way as a result of the effects of climate change.

Among the priority areas for disaster risk reduction and mitigation. the City's DRRMO
focuses on the following:

1) Disaster Prcvention and Mitigation

This includes avoidance of hazards and mitigation of potential impacts by
reducing vulnerabilities and exposure, and enhancing the adaptive capacities of
communities within the city.

2) Disaster Prcparedness
This covers the establishment and strengthening of the communities' adaptive
capacity to anlicipate, cope and recover from the negative impacts of disaster
occunences,

Antipolo City Comprehensive Land Use Plan 2010-2020 Page 26

 3) Dlsaster Response
This includes provision of the basic subsistence needs of affected population
based on acceptable standards during or immediately after the occurrence of a
disaster.

4) Disaster Rehabilitation and Recovery

This includes restoration and improvement of facilities in the communities;
improvemenl and/upgrading of livelihood and living conditions of affected families;
organizational capacities of affected communities; and reduce disaster risk in
accordance with the "building back bettei' principle.

The following are the Disaster Risk Reduction/Climate Change Adaptation Strategies

 CHAPTER 3
OVERVIEW OF THE PROPOSED PLAN

3.1 VtStON

A preferred destination at the center of CALABARZON'S eastern growth corridor, with

God-centered, empowered, and socially responsible citizenry living in a sustainably-
managed and safe environment with a globally competitive and progressive economy
under an efficient and transparent leadership.

3.2 DEVELOPMENT GOALS/OBJ ECTIVES

q Antipolo used lo be a dormitory lown in the mid-'8os. lts proximity to Metro Manila
including ils climate made it a popular settlement area that eventually resulted to the
j
= establishment of a dynamic urban center. Being at lhe urban fringe of Metro Manila,
Antipolo became the catchment for the spillover or oulward expansion of the metropolis.
{ u,\
lll\ This scenario has brought about the rapid urbanization of Antipolo as well as its
IE E-)
o
L! 0
<9 neighboring municipalities. However, Antipolo has the distinct advantage of having vast
land resources that are available for future development.
o
t >--
<6 The primary goal for the development of Antipolo is to fulfill its functional role as
o
d d. envisioned in the regional, provincial and the city development plans. As an economic
E hub and service center for the Razal Province, Antipolo must have many economic
(, opportunities in order to address the challenges of a rapidly urbanizing city. The intention
o in this sense is to achieve an equitable economic development by directing eflorts loward
the eastem corridors of the city. Therefore, a mulli-nodal approach encourages the
oplimum development of growth corridors strategically located across the city that are
inter-related to form a functional hierarchy. The result of this urtran form is called, in urban
planning parlance, a compact and well-connected city as will be discussed in the
succeeding section on lhe Proposed Structure Plan.

To achieve the goal of economic development, the intent is to re-channel economic

development towards the eastem sections of the city. ldentification of and the
establishment of additional groMh centers that will initiate the economic progress of the
city is, therefore, necessary.

At present, Antipolo is already functioning as a trading, commercial and service center

that adequately provides the needs of its residents as well as the residents of its
neighbors.

Cunently, there are tlvo major urban centers in Antipolo. The first is the Poblacion which
retains its traditional prestige as lhe premier urban cenler of the City. The second urban
cenler is in Masinag Junction. The growth of this area is due to its being a transfer point
for various modes of public transport, its proximity to Metro Manila and the large
residential subdivisions around its area. The Plan predicts that in time, Masinag Junction
shall be the Cenlral Business District of Antipolo. Due to its proximity to Melro Manila,
aided further by the extension of LRT Line 2 to COGEO, this primary urban center will
further develop into higher-order urban settlement that will eventually overtake lhe
Poblacion as the premier urban center of Antipolo.

Antipolo City Comprehensive Land Use Plan 2010-2020 Page 28

 Below are the development objectives that shall guide the formulation of slrategies and
action plans toward the attainment of the overall goal mentioned in the preceding
paragraphs:
o As an economic and service center, infrastructure and utilities network shall be
enhanced;
o There shall be an equitable distribution of economic opportunities;
. The growth areas shall generate more employment and livelihood opportunities
for its residents;
. The delivery of and accessibility to basic services shall be improved;
. The growth of the City shall be guided and controlled through the formulalion of a
long-term spatial growth strategy and the introduction of an efficient land use
management system;
. The City's vast potential for tourism shall be explored;
. Protection of lhe environment shall be of utmost concern of the City Govemment;
and
Disasler risk reduction and management as well as climate change adaptation
shall be integrated into the CLUP

The open space network of the City includes the parks and environmental conservation
and protection areas, the waler syslem, the bridges and road networks including the
utilities that serve as support facilities to lhe urban ecosystem. The parks and recreation
zone (PRZ) designed for diversion/amusements and for the maintenance of ecological
o
v balance In the community also form part of the network. lt includes plazas, parks/gardens
and park facilities, playgrounds, open air or outdoor sports facilities such as golf courses,
d o=o ball courts, race tracks, swimming pools, and similar uses; memorials, monuments,
kiosks and other park structures. The central park and recreation area in the City is the
Sumulong Park in front of the Antipolo Cathedral. lt is complemented by the Ynares
Sports Complex built withan the Provincial Capitol premises.

The fast urbanizing character of the City requires more land for development to be able to
address various urban dysfunctions. Hence, proper land allocation and efficient land
management are essentially crucial rn the next ten years. Otherwise, the City will be
faced with a string of lssues and challenges brought about by development that is highly
dense: rapid population growth, traffic congestion, environmental degradation, climate
change, air and water pollution, among others. The development of an open space
network is therefore necessary to ensure an ecological balance in the community.
Hereunder are the basic principles in the development of an open space network:

. Adhere to the required standards of open spaces;

. Preserve natural ecosystems;
r Provide green belts that prevent encroachmenuprovide buffer zones to various
uses;
o Creale an ecological network;
. Create a sense of neighborhood through a network of parks within an area;
. Enhance residential streetscapes and implement a comprehensive street tree
program;
. Encourage the preservation of existing open space and the means to creale new
areas of open space through community participation:
. Preserve public easements along riverlcanks and other bodies of water;

Antipolo City Comprelrensive Land Use Plan 2O10-2O2O Page 29

 Preserve prime agricultural lands, due to their stalus as protected areas; Historical
and heritage sites of national or local significance;
Environmentally critical and hazardous areas could be ingeniously planned and
designed to form part of the town's open space and preservalion areas.

o Fig ure 1. Growth Centers

A growth center is a compact area planned for concentrated, mixed use development. lt
integrates both the existing and future land uses and increases its connectivity among
other groMh centers. Growth centers are identilied depending on local conditions, needs
and preferences for development.

The CLUP being utilized by the City in the last ten (10) years identified 3 growth nodes:
Poblacion, Masinag and Pinugay. The development of Cogeo, Gate 2 and Boso-Boso
was not anticipated then. Subsequently, the current developments in lhese areas are
inevitably fragmented.

ln the updated CLUP, six (6) growth centers are envisioned to promote a compacl
development through a mix of complementing uses. This was guided by the realities or
the existing and anticipated land uses based on the following basic concepts and
proposals:
. lncorporate a mix of complementing uses depending on the nature of the planned
development;
o lncorporate existing or planned public spaces that promotes social interactions
such as public parks, civic buildings among others;
. lntegrate a focal point or central place where activities will emanalel
. lt should be supported by existing or planned investments in infrastructure and
encompasses a circulation system that is conducive to pedestrian and other non-
vehicular traffic and that it incorporales, accommodates and supports the use of
public transil system;

Antipolo City Comprehensive Land Use Plan 2010-2020 Page 30

 . lnfrastructure development to identified groMh centers from 2010 to 2013;
. Ensure interconnectivity among the six groMh centers;
. lntegrate existing and future uses within the growth center and increase
connections between disconnected areas;
. Promote compact development;
. Balance growth with the availability of economic and efficient public utilitiesi

3.3.3 Road Network

The updated road nelwork has been primarily adopted from the previously planned road
system embodied in the Comprehensive Development Plan for the year 2000-2010 of
Antipolo City. For the past ten years, several of the planned roads have already been
construcled while portion of the other major routes were partially developed.

The updated road network will basically be the same on the previous planned road
network with some refinements inlroduced in terms of road alignments and route
extension. The focus will be the City's external and internal linkages, inlerconnectivity
among groMh centers and subdivisions and emphasis on the preservation of culture and
protection of the environment.

4 The intemal and exlernal circulalion will be catered by the circumferential, radial and the
E existing maior roads. These road systems will serve as vital linkage of the groMh centers:
j
the Poblacion, Masinag, Gate 2, Pinugay, Government Center in Sitio Cabading and

t
(Dv Boso-Boso. The road systems will also create an efficient connectivity of the city to its
IU
o
tr-
<q
neighboring ciUes and municipalities.
ul
o Another component of the road network will be the expanded circulation system on highly
E
0' <.= built-up areas. Through road interconnectivity ofthe subdivisions, the use of access roads
o of subdivisions will be extended as alternate routes. This will decongest the traffic along
4 the major roads and will minimize the creation of new roads and the upgrading of existing
roads.
il =
a
o The other diverse feature of the road system was the preservation of the local culture and
protection the City's natural resources. Restriction on road development and
improvement will be imposed on the Poblacion and watershed areas. Road widening on
the Poblacion will be minimized to preserve the traditional image of the Old Antipolo. On
the other hand, developments of road leading to watershed will be restricted to impede
the flourish of settlements and protect the nalural resources.

The comprehensive layout of circumferential, radial, altemate routes and existing roads
comprise the road network syslem of Antipolo City.

Circumferential Roads - The routes that will primarily create linkage between the grov,/th
centers and the area on the outskirts of Antipolo

Figure 4. Protection Areas

c Proteclion areas comprise both natural and man-made resources that serve as the City's
E life support system. These are vital areas that are deliberately kept open to maintain the
o amenity value of the City's envaronment. These open spaces provide the needed buffers
d o such as easements along river banks, lakeshores, creeks and around escarpments.
Protection areas include the City's forestlands, prime agricultural lands, water bodies,
historic and cultural/tourism sites that are both nationally and locally significant such as
the Antipolo Cathedral. The environmenlally-sensilive or hazardous areas, by their very
nature, need to be protected also to avoid further environmental degradation resulting
from encroachment.

Based on the Antipolo City Forest Land Use Plan (FLUP) 2OO7-2O12, about 17,680,
hectares of the City's land area are classified as forestlands. As can be gleaned from the
map, more than half of the City's total land area comprises forestlands interspersed with
agro-forestry and settlement areas. Brgy. Calawis and a larger portion of Brgy. San Jose
are part of the City's protected area as lhese are localed within the forestlands. Data from
the FLUP showed a decrease of about 75 per cent of the forest cover, from old growth
forest to secondary forests and to brushlands. This type of forest cover trend will have
effects on the integrity of the watershed and the biodiversity within these forestlands.
Brushlands and grasslands cover the sloping areas of the forestlands, while the flat areas .
are planted to rice. Some parls of lhe hillsides are devoted to agro-forestry and are
planted to mangoes, cashew and bananas. ln olher areas, these hillsides are planted to
gemelina and ipil-ipil. Other forested areas remain, while still others have already been
cleared and converted to plots and have been settled on. For purposes of effective
planning, management and implementation of the FLUP, the land area of Antipolo City is
subdivided into six sub-watershed units. Three of the sub-watersheds comprising Boso-
Boso, Tayabasan and Santa lnes fall within legally classified alienable and disposable
lands (A&D). The three other sub-watersheds namely Nangka, Bulao and Mayiba are not

Antipolo City Comprehensive Land Use Plan 2010-2020 Page 37

 within classified alienable and disposable lands. The different conditions of these sub-
watersheds in terms of biophysical and socio-economic situation are taken into account in
the formulation of management strategies appropriate for each of the sub-watersheds.

The following strategies have been formulated to preserve the integrity of these protected
areas:
. ldentify boundaries of protected areas, non-NIPAS areas and disasler-prone
areas in accordance with the approved lntegrated Protected Area Plan (IPAP) as
provided for under the Forest Land Use Plan (2007 -2012)
. Formulate and implement environmentally-sound measures to be integrated into
the Disaster Risk Reduction Management Plan of the City
. Promote public awareness on the values of prolecting the environment particularly
the environmenlally sensitive areas in the City
. Promote awareness on the values of disaster preparedness among the residents
particularly those located on the environmentally sensitive settlemenl areas
o Promote and intensiry public participation in the conservation and disaster
reduction or mitigation efforts in the barangays
. Rehabilitate denuded forest cover or promote reforestation

Figure 5. Settlement Areas

The old Comprehensive Development Plan of Antipolo City (2000-2010) has described
the settlement structure or central place hierarchy of the City through a centrality index
method where the number of economic establishments or urban funclions in each
Antipolo City Comprehensive Land Use Plan 2010-2020 Page 38
 barangay were obtained. This method of analysis showed that Antipolo City is an
urbanized human settlement, characterized by tertiary and secondary economic activities.
The latest data from Antipolo City's Facts and Figures 2010 show that among the
registered business establishmenls, the most noticeable are retail stores, business '
establishmenl offering services, recreational establishments and restaurants/carenderias,
manufacturing companies/faclories, construction companies and real estate businesses.
Among the 16 barangays, Brgy. Mayamot has the highest centrality index while Brgy.
Calawis has the lowest. ln order to determine the services and investments that ought to
be infused to strengthen the role of Antipolo City as the economic center of Rizal
Province, this method of analysis was established to come up with a hierarchical
structuring of barangays. Hence, during the previous planning period, five groups of
central places were observed, the most central of which were Brgy. Mayamot and Brgy.
San Roque. Brgy. Mayamot was considered as a transportation nodal hub in view of its
proximity to the highly urbanized Cainta and Marikina areas. Whereas, Brgy. San Roque
represents the urbanized Poblacion which is similarly adjacent to the urbanized areas of
Angono and Taytay.

ln addition, the residential land use in the City comprises a total of 4,837.61 hectares or ,

about 12.6 per cent of the City's total land area. There are a total of 489 subdivisions in
i
4 the City, 213 of which are found in District 'l while 276 are located in District 2.

ldentify environmentally sensitive or hazard-prone areas that should not be used

tor the development of settlement areas.

3-3.7 lnfrastructureAreas
Under the existing CLUP of Antipolo City (2000-2010), data showed that the road density
of the City at 1.01 kilometer per square kilometer falls below the acceptable standard of
2.4 kilometers for urban centers. Considering the apparent shortage of 537 kilometers of
road length, this situation connotes the need for an increase of roads by 140 per cent.
The existing CLUP projected that for a target population of 1 ,177 ,892 in the year 2O1O, an
additional 2,436.9A kilometers of road length is needed ot 243.70 kilometers yearly for the
next 1 0 years.

It would be noled, however, that the abovementioned data do not include the subdivision
roads. At present, there are a total of 489 subdivisions in the City, 213 of which are found
in District 1 while 276 are localed in District 2. Brgys. Cupang, San Roque and lvlayamot
have the most subdivisions with 57, 54 and 51, respectively. Of the 16 barangays, only
Brgy. Calawis has no subdivision.

Antipolo City Comprehensive Land Use PIan 2010-2020 Page 39

 At present, the City has a total road length of 1,003.44 kilometers comprising public roads
with a total length of 870.72 kilometers, and subdivision roads with a total length of
132.72 kilometers.

ln terms of vertical infrastructure, particularly tourism facilities, the City offers a wide
range of facilities available lo tourists and residents alike such as hotels, inns,
lodging/pension houses, shopping and recreation centers, and sport facilities. Modern
communication, transportation and banking facilities are likewise available, Al present, a
multi-level parking is undergoing conslruction near the Antipolo Cathedral in the
Poblacion. A branch of a chain of department stores is also undergoing construction near
the lvlasinag-Marcos Highway iunction. ln this updated CLUP, infrastructure planning
shall be guided by the following policies in order lo establish adequate and efficient
support facilities for making Anlipolo City a safer and more livable place for its residents:

Promote inter-modal transport systems

lmplement infrastructure projects that allow increased access to basic services

Prioritize infrastructure projects with the most strategic impacts

4.1.1 Development Strategy No. 1 - Base Plan or "Do Nothing Scenario"

The base plan or the "do nothing" scenario is the likely consequence when there is no
significant intervention introduced by the City govemment excepl lhose that are already
existing, programmed or proposed. Given the present pattern of development, this
scenario allows the present built-up environment of the City's urban barangays to'
continue while the other half of the city has a dispersed pattern of development.

ln the builtup environment, groMh is characterized by the expansion of development into

barangays adjacent to the existing urban center which is the Poblacion. The concentric or
compact scheme of physical growth of the Poblacaon radiates from its center towards
adiacent areas, such as Brgys. Dalig, Dela Paz, Bagong Nayon, Sta. Cruz, Mambugan,
and Mayamot. The intensification of the land using activities in the Poblacion extends to
the buildable areas of Brgys. San lsidro, San Luis and San Jose. These barangays will
absorb the anticipated spillover brought about by the development regulations that will be
imposed on the Poblacion in order to retain the prestige of the Antipolo Church and
maintain the image of Antipolo as a Pilgrimage City. By disallowing vertical expansion
and improving the signage set-up in the vicinity of the church in order not to obstruct its

Antipolo City Comprehensive Land Use Plan 2070-2020 Page 41

 view, it is hoped that the Church will retain its importance as a dominant landmark of the
city.

On the other hand, each of the rural barangays comprising Brgys. San Juan, lnarawan,
Calawis, San lsidro, San Luis and grealer portion of San Jose has developed
independently from each other, without reference to any hierarchy of higher-order growth
centers. Under a "Do-Nothing" development scenario, this dispersed pattem of
development continues, but each growth center is not linked to each other, with raw lands
or unutilized lands dividing each groMh area in every barangay. Social and economic
infrastructures are also dispersed even when the City Govemment, despite its limited
resources, tries hard to provide these rural barangays with the needed infrastructure. ln
this type of development, the dispersed settlements are likely to encroach on lhe natural
environment as well as the production areas as population increases. When issues or
problems arise as a result of this type of scenario, the local govemment only becomes
reactive in response to such issues.

Figure 7. Linear Development Strategy

The current built-up areas in the Cily are mostly concentrated on the lower half, the south
westem part comprising Brgys. Mayamol, Cupang, Mambugan, Bagong Nayon, Sta.
Cruz, Muntindilaw, Dela Paz, San lsidro, Dalig and San Roque. Mosl commercial
activities are concenlrated along Marcos Highway, from the City's boundary with Marikina
towards Bagong Nayon, with more intensified commercial activities at the Mambugan-
Marcos Highway junction toward Gate 2. Other economic activities are concenlrated
along maior roads, particularly on both sides of the Circumferential Road in the
Poblacion, and in some strip commercial porlions of Sumulong Highway.

Antipolo City Comprehensive Land Use Plan 2010-2020 PaEe +2

 This long commercial strip can potentially cause vehicular traffic problems in the future
due to the concentration of activities along major roads with inadequate space for parking
and in some cases, lack altemate routes- This can happen especially along the existing
Circumferential Road within the Poblacion. With regard to the dispersed settlement at the
eastern portion of the City, the road network may be extended but will not be able to
connect the residential areas to the commercial strip as it will entail a costly undertaking
for the local govemment in view of its limited and scarce resources. ln addition, the '
construction of roads to service the dispersed settlements at the watershed will cause
environmental risks to the natural environment. unde this development scheme, the
economic activities will be concentrated on the builLup strip of the urban barangays that
could consequently isolale the rest of the barangays. Hence, it is most likely that major
social services and infrastructure will develop around the linear strip and draw in more
people and investments. There is a tendency for the govemment to focus development
only on this strip and its closest neighbors. The rapid urbanization of the linear strip will
demand additional resources to sustain it, but this can cause the remote rural barangays
and those farther away from the administrative center lo be easily neglected. Therefore,
there will be little interest to invest in these areas other than as source of natural
resources-

Figure 8. lntegrated Growth Center Strategy

Development Strategy No. 3 takes into consideration the functional role of Antipolo City
based on the higher-level physical framework plans, land use classilication and land
suitability, the existing development trends such as the construction of SM Mall along
Ivlarcos Highway, current project proposals and other developments particularly the future
construction of the LRT Line 2 extension. Unlike the other schemes where each barangay .
is a primary development area, scheme No. 3 clusters barangays into compact and well-
connected development areas.
This strategy comprises six growth nodes, each node having cluster of barangays with a
central, high-density core. Each barangay will be connected to each other's centers

Antipolo City Comprehensive Land Use Plan 2010-2020 Page 43

 through barangay roads while maintaining a clear struclure of accessible routes within the
area itself. The hierarchy of roads interconnecting each growth node changes as they
enter the urban settlements.

On the western part of the City is the Masinag junction in Brgy. Mayamot, considered as
the City's Central Business District due to its strategic location. ln view of its proximity to
Melro Manila, it serves as calchmenl for the spill over of urbanization from Metro Manila.
The Masinag junction is predicted to become a ma.ior urban center due to its strategic role
as an inler-modal transport hub triggered by the construclion of the LRT Line 2 extension
and the high intensity development in the area as well as the large subdivisions around it.
As a result of the high intensity development in this area, it is expected that it \/ill radiate
toward Brgys. Cupang and Mambugan and will merge into one compact area. ln this
sense, each barangay will have a role to play, making Brgy. Mayamot parlicularly the
Masinag iunction, as the major urban center and transport hub. Brgys Cupang and
Mambugan play secondary roles in support to the center. At present, this is where big
residential areas are located. ln-fill development between and among the existing built-up
areas will open up more interconnecting roads, increasing and improving connectivity and
accessibility. To improve the urban design of the area, there will be increasing densities
q within the core and decreasing densities as one goes farther from it.
E, Not far from the Masinag junction, aboul five (5) kilometers away, is the second groMh
center. Commonly called Gate 2 within the COGEO area is the Minor Commercial Center
o
ul characterized by medium commercial activities and high density residential development,
(, the growth of this area is primarily due to the demands for service-oriented businesses to
Ft <9 serve the needs of a large residential population around the area. Over time, additional
a. >; commercial or shopping areas are expected to be built within this growth center.
EO <"=
o The Poblacion as another growlh area, will always be the City's maior or premier urban
d.
center due to the presence of the old government cenler and the Cathedral, the
{ E pilgrimage hub. Considering the various developments occuning in the City, including the
o
development of a new Administrative Center in Cabading, the Poblacion may be
o relegated to a minor role as a secondary service center yet retaining its primary role as a
tourism hub due to the presence of tourist spots and other tourist attractions in its vicinity.

On the east, there will be two major growth nodes: 'l) Boso-boso, which will serve as the
local service center; and 2) Pinugay, which will be the area for industrial development.

Pinugay has been identified as the agro-induslrial center for lhe city due to the availability
of large tracts of underutilized grasslands for industrial development. Pinugay has a great
potential for industrial development due to its strategic location, as well as the presence
of infrastructure to support it, though caulion has to be exercised to protect its
environmental integrity due to its sensitive ecosyslem. Pinugay's advantage is its
proximity to the Marikina-lnfanta Road, a major trade route, which shall serve as an
economic catalyst for the transport of goods from the area to Metro Manila or to the City's
neighboring lowns. As a result of this, Antipolo's sphere of economic influence will extend
beyond its geographical boundaries and this development will reinforce Antipolo's role as
an economic @nter for Rizal.

The industrial development of Pinugay and the resultant employment opportunities will
eventually create a demand for services and commercial activities to support the needs of
the population of the area. The nearby Boso-Boso will eventually be a potential local
service center as a result of the industrial development in the Pinugay area, aside from its
terrain which is ideal for urban development.

ln Cabading, Barangay lnarawan, the proposed Government Center will be developed. lt

is a master-planned mixed used development, complete with all the facilities and
4t!,E'
Antipolo City Comprehensive Land Use Plan 2010-2020 Page 44
 amenities to support the emerging urbanizalion in the area. The development of
Cabading as an Administrative Center is expected to spur growth and development in the
eastern part of the City. The concept of a new town development shall be a major
undertaking by the city government to distribute equitably social services and economic
benefits to the population in that part of the City and to create a concentric administrative
base for an efficient public service delivery.
I
Areas surrounding these growth nodes will be preserved for agricultural use. Agriculture
and self-sufficiency should remain high on the agenda of the city. Low density rural
barangays will remain in these agricultural areas and within the forest conservation areas.

Protection areas including environmentally-sensitive areas such as waterfalls, critical

slopes, river/creek easements, sites of historic significance together with parks and open
space will form the open space network of the city. These will all be linked together via
trails and will be part of the ecotourism development of the City.

4.2 EVALUATION OF DEVELOPMENT ALTERNATIVES

The Social Cost-Benefit Analysis (SCBA) was used in the evaluation of the development
q strategy alternative for the City of Antipolo. The SCBA as defined in the CLUP Guide
= Book (HLURB,2006) is a "comprehensive approach for appraising the social worth of the ,

The first altemative, the "Do-Nothing Scenario". has given little opportunity to maximize
the City's land resources despite the great development potentials they pose. ln addition,
the sprawl of residential build-up is not able to secure conservation areas as settlements
encroach on environmentally-sensitive areas as well as on the protected forestlands. lt
lacks any distinct image and hides its real beauty since it produces a monotonous urban
fabric with its indistinguishable urban densities.

The first alternative also fails to enhance the City's viability for the development of any
enterprise and investments. The industries and businesses are set up in areas thal are
not linked to each other, thus gives very litlle economic impact on both lhe
capitalisUentrepreneur and, on a macro-level, the City.

Antipolo City Compreheusive Land Use Plan 2010-2020 Page 46

 With the trend of a development sprawl, it is more difficult for government to contain the
population inlo areas that will ensure a more efficient delivery of seNices. Administration
is more difficult as the City govemment is forced to spread its limited human resources to
the other areas. This scenario may deplete the City's logistical and financial resources
while being unable to ensure efficiency in responding to the basic needs of the city
populace.
Further, maintainlng the status quo will not improve transport connectivity as sprawling
development will put strain on efforts to connect all barangay and city roads to lhe two
main highways in the city.

On the other hand, the second development strategy (Linear Development Strategy) is
very prone to traffic congestion in the future because minor access roads all lead back to
lhe central strip, thus causing congestion along the main thoroughfare. Since service and
basic infrastructure are concentrated along this area, population will be dense but
scattered along the linear strip, still unable to build a developed center.
c
Linear development has no impact on the City's visual attractiveness because of the
j
= absence of any hierarchy among the settlements that would give distinction among the
th barangays, thus producing a monotonous landscape especially in haphazardly built
ul\
tr: environment.

The third development strategy, the lntegrated GroMh Center Strategy, will allow the in-
fill development to create a compacl, and well-connected barangays. With this prefered
development strategy, the integration of the rural and urban barangays will be achieved
through a network of city and barangay roads that will connect each barangay to enhance
connectivity.
=
6 Under this alternative, the development will be more guided while accommodating
d o urbanization build-up on some areas. With this prefened altemative, the protection of the
natural environment is maintained. The more regulated development will be able to place
economic activities and urbanization in the growth nodes without threat to these protected
areas that includes environmentally-sensitive areas such as waterfalls, natural springs,
critical slopes, river/creek easements, parks and open space that form the open space
network of the City. These will all be linked together via ecotourism trails and will be part
of the ecotourism product development of the City.

The City's built-up areas are enhanced through development regulations and control as to
how the built environmenl can reinforce the city's image.

ln addition, under this strategy, the costs for the provision of basic services will be less
and service delivery efficiency will be improved through the groMh centers where social
and local administrative infrastructure will be readily in place. The creation of these
integrated groMh centers will allow a more rational cluster of local administrative facilities
and basic social service-delivery to a greater number of the city's populalion.

ln this case, the city govemment both regulates and encourages private undertakings and
investments by creating several grov'dh centers where fulure development projects will be
reinforced by the existing social, economic and administrative infrastructure. This makes
investments more viable, land more attractive and highly appraised, and the market more
I attractive. When all these groMh cenlers are realized, it is expected that the sphere of
economic influence of Antipolo will go beyond its geographical boundaries and therefore,
its role as lhe economic center of Rizal will be reinforced given all these developments.

4.3 PREFERRED SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY

In order to achieve the functional role of the city as the economic and service center of
Rizal Province, the preferred spatial development strategy focuses on the development of

Antipolo City Comprehensive Land Use Plan 2010-2020 Page 47

 multi-nodal groMh areas that will ensure an effective and elficient economic and spatial
interaction between and among the urban and rural barangays.

Among the three developmenl schemes, the third one which is the lntegrated Growlh
Center Strategy, is the best option for the City. This strategy reinforced the role of
Antipolo City as the commercial, industrial and residenlial center as identitied in the
higher level plans. All lhe six grolvth nodes that have been identiried played vital roles in
the development of the City. More importantly, with this preferred development strategy,
the integration of the rural and urban barangays will be achieved through a network of city
and barangay roads that will connect each barangay to enhance connectivity.

Through this scheme or strategy, development of the City will be more guided while

i accommodating urbanization build-up in some areas. Though, protection of the

environment is of pnmordial importance to the City Government. ln addition, the costs for
= the provision of basic services will be less and service delivery will be improved. Thus,

tI (utr\\,
= the integrated groMh centers will allow a more rational cluster of local administrative
facilities and basic social services will be delivered to a greater number of the City's
G,_ population.
o <i
o When all these groMh centers are developed, it is expected that the economic sphere of
E
c d6 influence of Antipolo City will go beyond its geographical boundaries and hence, its role
o
d. as the economic center of Rizal, as identilied in the aforementioned higher level
framework plans, will be reinforced given the difFerent developments taking place within
( E the City and its neighboring LGUS.

Figure 9. Structure Plan

The Struclure Plan for the City represents the visual outline or shape of its overall
physical and development framework. The anows indicate the direction of development
which is obviously going eastward. The development concept for the City is anchored on
a spatial strategy called an lntegrated Growlh Center Strategy to be connected by a
circulation system that would enable an urban-rural connectivity in order to create
compact and well-connected barangays. The City's growth will be more favorable if
concentrated at focal points lvhere agglomeration will yield greater benefits. Hence, the

Antipolo City Comprehensive Land Use Plan 2010-2020 Page 48

 Structure Plan shows the different locations of the six growth nodes or centers, the
development areas for protection, settlement, production and infrastructure. Also
indicated in the Plan are the different radial and circumferential roads, both existing and
proposed that reflect the linkages between and among the different functional areas
within Antipolo City wilh their respective specific roles.

The road network or the circulation system depicted in the Plan shows both the intemal
linkages as well as the city's external linkages with its neighboring LGUs. The road
network is very vital as an internal linkage as it connects the different barangays, both
rural and urban, to achieve physical integration to achieve a compact city thus making it
easier for the City Govemment lo provide basic social services to its constituents. The
road network also serves as a vital link between and among the six grolvth centers to
achieve economic interaction.

As mentioned in the previous paragraph, the production, protection, settlement, and

infrastructure areas are also indicated in lhe Structure Plan. The infrastructure areas
comprise both the vertical and the horizontal physical slructures that serve to connect the
other three land use categories or policy areas. Settlement and production areas can be
found both in the built and un-built environment. Settlements that exist in the un-built
i environment are the results of encroachment of the protected areas while production
areas that are found in the un-built environment such as the agricultural areas and the
= farms are among those spaces intended for making a living.

 Table 15 shows the existing land use (2010) and the proposed land use for the next ten
years (20'10-2020). ln the existing land use, a lolal of 7,467-55 heclares representing
'19.39% of the City's total land area is devoted to residential use. This accounted for the
large number of residential developments since 2000. ln the proposed land use plan, it
would be noted that among the urban land uses, the dominant use is still residential with
a proposed increase ol 4.24ok. Considering the increase in residential subdivisions, there
is now a total of 9,102 hectares representing 23.64% oI the City's total land area. ln
addition, a Socialized Housing Zone had been identifled in the present Land Use Plan
with a total area of431 hectares or 1.12o/o of the total area in reference to Executive
Order No.841 directing all LGUS to identify socialized housing sites in the updating of
their respective CLUPS. This Socialized Housing Zone includes the existing CMP areas
and the identified proposed socialized housing site covering an area of 50 hectares. ln
the proposed land use, the most dominant use in the urban area ls still residential.

However, it is obviously the forestlands which comprise the dominant land use that
includes protection and produclion forests and the lSF. Taken together, these three land

i uses constitute about 58olo of the City's lotal land area. Data show a decrease in the size
of the forestlands from 26,679.88 in the past to 22,394.36 hectares. The unabated
= deforestation observed over the years may have facilitated the conversion of forestlands
= to other land uses. The encroachment of the forests can create undesirable

zones.
o
It would be noted that there is a signiflcant increase in agro-industrial use in consideralion
of Sitio Pinugay as the agro-induslrial center for the City. ln lhe proposed land use plan,
the agro-industrial areas increased from 0.45% to 5.68%, from a mere 172.14 hectares to
the proposed 2,187.49 heclares in the
next decade. Based the on
MARILAQUE/RIZLAQUE Development Framework Plan and the CALABARZON lvlaster
Plan, Antipolo City has been identified as an industrial cenler for Rizal due to the
availability of large tracts of lands. Thus, agro-forestry, agro-processing and small and
medium enterprises (SMES) are encouraged. The increase in this land use category will
definitely addressed this identified role.

Figure 10 shows the City's different land uses divided into specific zones. Zoning is
geared towards promoting the most beneficial, efficient and harmonious land uses in
consonance with the approved comprehensive development and land use plans of the
City. Thus, zoning serves to guide, control, and regulate the future growth and
development of the City. Below are lhe various specific zones of the City:

4.5.1 Residential
Residential Zone - ln An tipolo, three types of residential sub-zones have been identified,
namely, low-density (R-1), medium-density (R-2), and high-density (R-3) housing. These
three types of residential densities are possible in Antipolo due to its large size and the
existence of underdeveloped areas that are suitable to these types of development.

The low-density (R-1) housi ng sub-zone has a density ranging from 1 to 20 dwelling units
per hectare, characterized mainly by single family and single detached dwellings with the
usual community ancillary uses on a neighborhood scale and relatively exclusive
subdivisions as well as compalible support of permitted uses and institutional facilities.
Low density residential communities can be found in Brgys. Mambugan (Parkridge
Subd.), Sta. Cruz (Town & Country), Bagong Nayon (Forest Hills), San Roque (Mission
Hills, Don Enrique, Crestview 2, Grandheights Subd.), Beverly Hills and De la Paz
(Fairmount Subd., Victory Valley).

The medium-densitv (R-2) housing sub-zone has a population density ranging from 21 to
65 dwelling units per hectare and is intended for low and medium-rise dwellings
Antipolo City Comprehensive Land Use Plan 2010-2020 Page 51
 consisting of apartments, boarding houses and dormitories. in addition lo R-1 uses. with
the usual community auxiliary uses on a neighborhood scale. This residential category
can be seen in Brgys. Mayamot, Cupang, Mambugan, Munting Dilao, Sta.Cruz, Dela paz.
Beverly Hills, San Roque, Dalig, San lsidro, San Jose, San Luis, lnarawan, Bagong
Nayon and San Juan. Most of the sub-zone is already built-up.

The hiqh-densitv (R-3) sub.zone has a density of 66 or more dwelling unils per hectare as
well as condominiums, pension houses, hometels and apartelles with community auxiliary
uses which are increasingly commercial in scale. This residential category can be seen in
Brgys. Cupang, Mayamot, Mambugan, Munting Dilao, Sta. Cruz, De la Paz, San Roque.
Dalig, San Jose, San lsidro, San Luis, lnarawan, (specially the relocation site), San Juan
and Bagong Nayon.

4.5.2 Socialized Housing Zone - This zone shall be used principally for
socialized housing/dwelling purposes for lhe underprivileged and homeless as defined in
RA7279 or the Urban Development and Housing Act of 1992. A future socialized housing
site in Sitio Abuyod has been identified or indicated in the proposed Plan. Also included in
this category are areas designated as resettlement under the Community Mortgage
o Program (CMP) and existing relocation siles in Brgys. Mayamot, San Luis, San Juan,
Dalig, San Jose, Dela Paz, Bagong Nayon, lnarawan, San Isidro, San Luis, San Juan,
=\ Mambugan, Sta. Cruz, and Cupang.

Commercial Zone - Two types of commercial land uses have been designated for
o - the minor commercial (C-'l) and the ma.ior commercial (C-2) areas.
Antipolo
d.

= The minor commercial (C-'l ) sub-zone is marked by quasi-commercial and residential

{ o establishments engaged in retail trade and service industries performing supplementary
o functions to the maior commercial area. The minor commercial land use has been
designated in four growth centers in the study area. The first is in the Poblacion
sunounding the Antipolo Catholic Cathedral bounded by the Sen- Juan Sumulong
Memorial Circle (Old Circumferential Road) and jutting out along E. Rodriguez Ave., the
Provincial Road, M.L.Quezon St. Extn. and Sumulong Hi-way. The second C-1 occurs
along the Marikina-lnfanta Road (Marcos Hi-way), for a couple of kilometer stretch from
Marikina City boundary towards east to Masinag Market. The third C-1 section is along
Sumulong Hi-way in Brgy. Mayamot, from Marikina City boundary towards southwesl to
Masinag Market.The fourth C-l area is around the Marcos Highway - Alfelor Ave.
.iunction (COGEO Gate 2). The lifth C-1 is around the Proposed City Govemment Center
in Sitio Cabading, Brgy. San lnarawan along Sapinit Road going to Kambal - Maarat and
couple of kilometers along Marcos Highway. A detailed description of this sub-zone can
be found in the City Zoning Ordinance.

The maior commercial (C-2) sub-zone or the Central Business District (CBD) is an area
where land values are highest and commercial activity is intense particularly in terms of
retail and wholesale trade, professional, financial and related services as well as
recreational activities. Two ma.ior commercial sub-zones have been identified for the city:
one is in Antipolo City proper south of the Antipolo Catholic Church along M.L. Quezon
(Shopwise Vicinity). The second CBD is in Brgy. Mayamot, around the Marcos-Sumulong
Highway .iunction with Masinag Market. A detailed description of this sub-zone can be
found in the City Zoning Ordinance.

Antipolo City Comprehensive Land Use Plan 2 010-2020 Page 52

 4.5.4 lnstitutional
Institutional Zone - The lnstitutional Zone (lnsti-Z) includes local govemment,
educational, health, religious, civic and cultural facilities and structures. This zone is
composed of existing and proposed establishments scattered all over the urban zone and
occupying only small areas. i/tost of them are located close to and surrounding the
Poblacion, with the center being the City Hall and the Cathedral. Others are also localed
in different barangays in the City. The govemment center complex, a Plan Unit
I
Development (PUD) will be located in an elevated area in Sitio Cabading, Brgy. lnarawan,
where public buildings have a commanding view of the city.

4.5.5 lndustrial
lndustrial Land Use - The _existing industnal zone in the city is only about 114 hectares
and is situated in Brgy. lnarawan and Barangay San Jose, on the mid-section of the City.
lndustries such as Wrigley's and RC Cola are located along Marikina-lnfanta Road. To
boost economic activity and jobs generation in Antipolo, 145.14 hectares of industrial and
I
q 2,015.35 heclares of agro-industrial land uses are proposed in Sitio Paenaan, and Sitio
I Pinugay, in Barangay San Jose, respectively. Both existing and proposed industrial and
=
j agro-industrial zones are flat lands (0-3% slope) and have an elevation ranging from 175-

4.5.6 Agro-lndustrial
This zone covers areas devoted specmcally to industrial uses that are derived from
'agricultural
resources and other compatible uses. The City's agro-industrial activities are
presently found in Brgy. San Jose, southeast of Antipolo. This almost 17o-hectare flat
land is host to prominent piggery and poullry businesses such as Robina Farms,
Foremost and ELB. Large tracks of contiguous lands with a total area of about 2,000
hectares in Sitio Pinugay, Brgy. San Jose have been identified for expansion of agro-
industrial uses. lts high elevation ranging from 200-450 meters above sea level provides
suitable climate for this type of industry.

4.5.7 Agricultural/CARP
Antipolo's prime agricultural lands are situated in Sitio Pinugay and Sitio Pantay,
Barangay San Jose, southeast of the city. These 1,834.58 hectares of land have a slope
of 0-3olo and an elevation ranging from 55-300 meters above sea level. They are utilized
for rice production, corn production, vegetable production, and fruit production. But some
of these agricultural areas are underutilized. Out of the total agricultural areas,908
hectares covers the CARP or 49.50o/o of the entire agricultural areas.

Antipolo City Comprehensive Land Use Plan 2010-2020 Page 53

 4.5.8 PUD

The Planned Unit Development (PUD) is a land development scheme where the proiect
site is planned or developed comprehensively as an entity by way of a unitary site plan
that allows flexibility in planning, design, siting of building, complementation of building
types and land use, and the preservation of significant natural land features. pUD in the
proposed land use plan of Antipolo City pertains to the Antipolo City Govemment Center
and the 14-ha. area owned by Robinson's Land Corporation at the comer of Sumulong
Highway and Circumferential Road. The Government Center comprises mixed used
development with three major components: Govemment Center, Mixed Used
Development (Commercial) and a housing site.

4.5.9 Mining
The minino zone (MZ) is scaltered in small patches within the urban zone. They are
either conslruction/rock aggregate, lime and silica, and marble mining sites in Brgys. San
Jose, lnarawan, Cupang, Bagong Nayon and San Luis. Most of the mining sites are
found along north and south of the Marikina-lnfanta Road, although there is a big mining
concession of Solid Cement near Silio Tagbak, Brgy. San Jose. This zone encompasses
ci,
jv an area of approximately 652 hectares.
j The non-metallic aggregate quarrying industry likewise thrives and supplies around 60%
I o
l[ of the aggregate construction malerial needs of Metro Manila. There are six (6) mining
d- and quarrying companies in Antipolo.
Bt <9
ru
t d6
The mining industry in Antipolo consists of a number of large companies which cater to
the conslruction demands of Metro Manila while providing employment to many residents
o
g of the city. Contracts with these companies are expected to expire by 2021 and 2032.

{ = 4.5-10 Parks & Recreation Zone

6
o Parks and Recreation Zone is scattered in areas in the Poblacion and in Bara ngay San
Juan, Mambugan and Bagong Nayon . These areas are usually parks that also serve as
play area for outdoor activities such as sports, hobbies and the like. This zone includes
the Sumulong Park, Ynares Sports Complex, Golf Course located at Brgy San Juan and
Mambugan, Camping Sites at Brgy San Jose and Helipad at Bagong Nayon.

4.5.'l 1 Tourism Zone

The Tourism Zone (TZ) covers those sites within the City that are endowed with natural or
man-made physical attributes and resources that are conducive to recreation/leisure,
cultural heritage, and religious activities. These sites are scatlered in areas in the
Poblacion and olher parts of the City parliculary in Barangays San Roque, Dela Paz and
San Luis. They are areas lhat are known for their historical significance, religious beliefs,
nalural land formation and distinct fealures. lncluded in the Tourism Zone are the well
known National Shrine of Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage, Hinulugang Taktak Falls,
Mystical Cave and other natural and man-made tourism sites within the City.

4.5.12 Protection Forest Zone

The rotection forest zone PIIZ includes the vrhole Marikina Watershed in Brgys
Calawis, San Juan and San Jose which by law should be automatically declared a
protection foresl zone because of its ecologically fragile character. Also included in this
zone are the small patches of land with slopes above 50 percent in the urban zone. This
zone should be left alone for such non-intrusive uses as wildlife sanctuary, water flow
storage and regulation, climate moderation, soil erosion prevention and biotic gene.pool

on the zoning map of lhe City.

The Protection Forest Zone includes the Strict Protection Zone, the Proposed Buffer
Zone and the Biodiversity Corridor as indicated in the Upper l\ilarikina River Basin
Protected Landscape by virtue of Presidential Proclamation no. 296 dated November 24,
2011.

CHAPTER 5
PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
The Local Govemmenl Code of 1991 (RA 7160) has provided legal inslruments or tools
that LGUS can adopt in the implementation of lheir Comprehensive Land Use Plan
(CLUP). The Zoning Ordinance is one of the most common or the principal land use
regulatory inslrument that cities and municipalities adopt to implement the policies
embodied in their respective CLUPs.

Below are the diflerent land use regulatory measures as provided for under RA 7160

5.1 ZONTNG

Zoning as defined in the CLUP Guide Book (HLURB, 2006) is the "division of a
community into zones or districts according to the present potential uses of land to
maximize, regulate and direct their use and development according with the CLUP". This
ci\ means that the CLUP serves as the basis in the formulation of the zoning plan: The
E. zoning plan is translated into a locally enacted ordinance that embodies the different

t
regulations on the allowed or permitted uses in each zone. Thus, the Zoning Ordinance is
o
= the translation of the CLUP into a legal document or a legal instrument in the
lll implementation of the CLUP although it contains more detailed information on zone
lD E,-
o
UJ
<9 boundaries and land use regulations and controls.
o
v u >;. Section 20 of RA 7'160 provides that LGUS shall "continue to prepare their respective
o-
q6
o comprehensive land use plans enacted through zoning ordinances which shall be the
u primary and dominant bases for the future use of land resources". Since the CLUP is a
d =
o
guide for the management of the entire tenitorial iurisdiction of a city or municipality, then
Zoning is a guide to the rational and proper location of activities on its land resource.
o
5,2 LAND TAXES

Aside from the Zoning Ordinance that embodies land regulations relative to land uses, the
local govemment is also mandated to exercise its taxing powers as well as its power of
eminent domain in dealing wilh its constituents who are private property owners. The
LGU, particularly the City of Antipolo can directly venture into infrastructure pro.iects or
any public investments, for that matter, that would influence the private sector lo invesl
into the City.

5.2.1 Real Property Tax

The real property tax and the special levies on land (e.9. special education fund and idle
land tax) are lhe more commonly and exlensively used tax mode for revenue raising
purposes. When properly exercised and utilized, these real property impositions can be
effective planning and regulatory inslruments.

5.2.2 Tax on ldle Lands

Section 236-239 of the Local Government Code of 1991 (RA 7160) provides for an
additional 5% tax on the assessed value of idle lands. The reason behind the imposition
of taxes on idle lands is the promotion of an efficient and optimum utilization of land for
the benefit of the greater number of the community. Anolher reason for this is to control
the practice of speculative land holdings. For the local government concerned, the more

Antipolo City (:ornprehensive t.and LIse Pla'r21)1o'2o20 Page 56

 important reason for the imposition of this idle land tax is the prospect of getting a higher
tax assessment and revenues on lands wilh structures and other improvements when
these idle lands become productive. For the City of Antipolo, this tax on idle land can be
one essential regulatory tool that can be considered if it wants to pursue additional
revenues for its development programs.

For planning purposes, the idle land tax can be an effective tool to intensify development
in unproductive lands. lt can likewise serve as catalyst to effect development in the
desired development areas of the city based on the preferred spatial strategy or urban
morphology embodied in the CLUP. ln the desire of the City Government of Antipolo to
accommodate future urban expansion, in-filling of existing vacant lots in the buillup area
can be a pragmatic way to achieve a compact urban form or urban morphology in order to
enhance efficiency. Thus, the idle land tax can be imposed on idle and under-utilized lots
in the built-up are to achieve this purpose.
