QuestionsQuestions (HLURB ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 02, S. 2006)
It amends the HLURB/HLURB Board provisions on the required signatories to subdivision development plans and site development plans for projects under P.D. 957 and B.P. 220, specifically modifying who may prepare, sign, and seal the plans.
It was adopted on 07 November 2006 and, as stated, took effect fifteen (15) days from its publication date, i.e., on 08 November 2006.
The attached document is Board Resolution No. R-794, series of 2006.
For P.D. 957: Rule II, Section 5.A.1 and Section 5.B.2, paragraph 2 of its IRR. For B.P. 220: Rule III, Section 10.A.1 and Section 10.B.2, paragraph 2 of its IRR.
It required that the plan be duly signed and sealed by specific professional combinations that include an environmental planner (e.g., an architect who is also an environmental planner, a civil engineer who is also an environmental planner, or a geodetic planner who is also an environmental planner, with the other required co-signatory qualifications).
The resolution states that an ECC duly issued by the EMB of DENR is a requirement in issuing the development permit for subdivision development to ensure site suitability and public safety.
It allows the preliminary subdivision development plan (site development plan schematic) to be prepared, signed, and sealed by any licensed and registered architect, environmental planner, civil engineer, or geodetic engineer—without requiring the “also an environmental planner” dual qualification indicated in the earlier version.
Any licensed and registered architect, environmental planner, civil engineer, or geodetic engineer.
Any licensed and registered architect, environmental planner, civil engineer, or geodetic engineer.
Any licensed and registered architect, environmental planner, civil engineer, or geodetic engineer.
No. The modified text expands the allowable signatories to any of the listed licensed and registered professionals, and the environmental planner dual-qualification requirement is no longer stated in the modified portion.
A scale ranging from 1:200 to 1:2,000.
The plan may be at 1:200; 1:1,000; or any scale not exceeding 1:2,000.
They include roads, easements or right-of-way and roadway width/alignment/gradients (and similar data for alleys, if any), lot numbers, lines and areas and block numbers, and site data such as number of residential and saleable lots, typical lot size, parks and playgrounds, and open spaces.
It asserts that different professionals’ scopes of practice overlap in preparing site and subdivision development plans, so the Board modified the signatory rule to permit any of the qualified licensed professionals to prepare, sign, and seal the required plans.
It modifies how the implementing rules of the underlying laws (P.D. 957 and B.P. 220) must be applied in practice—particularly on compliance requirements like who can sign and seal subdivision development and site development plans.
