COMPREHENSIVE LAND
USE PLAN
LAND USE CATEGORIES, EXISTING AND
PROJECTED REQUIREMENT
LAND USE CATEGORIES, EXISTING AND
PROJECTED REQUIREMENT
With the slight increase in floor area ratio or density, the
land requirement is well within the existing land and
water resources of Bacoor. Existing residential and
commercial spaces will not simply increase the
number of floors of their present buildings. The denser
land use category shall be applied to new developments.
Residential and commercial zones are recommended
for multi-density uses: low, medium, and high densities.
Institutional zones are likewise encouraged to build
higher density developments.
 KEY FEATURES OF THE COMPREHENSIVE
LAND USE MAP
1. Intensification of use or promoting vertical development
2. Municipal water is deliberately included to embrace comprehensiveness
and as part of the R2R Framework.
3. The new Bacoor Government Center is the anchor of the New Urban and
Commercial District to spur development in this sparsely populated area
while depressurizing development in the Poblacion area.
4. The southern portion is designated as the Urban Expansion Area with a
special ecological development zone for the proposed waste-to-energy
project, as well as the columbarium with crematorium project that
highlights vertical development with scenic memorial park; integrated
with these is medium rise buildings for housing.
 NEW URBAN AND COMMERCIAL DISTRICT

Since the relocation of the city hall to Barangay Bayanan,

this dictates the preferred urban model of developing a
new central node which will spur along Molino Boulevard
and the sparsely populated surrounding the site.
The city government would want to limit the height of
buildings immediately surrounding the government
buildings. Commercial developments and vertical building
projects may be encouraged to establish the new
commercial district.
 URBAN EXPANSION AREA

The southern portion of Bacoor City is the less populated area and covers the most area of
idle grasslands. In the next 10 years, land prices in this urban expansion area would
increase.
The city government should prioritize converting some sites into waste-to-energy projects
in this area due to the former illegal dumpsite known as the Green Valley Dumpsite.
Ancillary and support facilities may be integrated, such as socialized housing, social
infrastructures, and even a public cemetery.
Private sector developments such as the proposed columbarium with crematorium
should also be encouraged.
This is a positive blending of vertical development of the columbarium, surrounded
by landscaped memorial park.
The key element is the introduction of buffer zones highlighted by trees and greens. Urban
forestry should be encouraged whenever applicable.
