HLURB ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 04, S. 2001, JULY 20, 2001

: The administrative order defines the term "Deferred Land Use Zone/Classification" as used in municipal zoning ordinances.
: It means a non-built-up area, whether agricultural or otherwise, which has been classified as urban but whose actual use has been deferred, provided it is a potential urbanizable area or suitable for urban use and not within restricted areas as defined by law.
: Because some municipalities used the term unconventionally in their zoning ordinances, causing issues regarding land classification.
: HLURB Board Resolution No. 558, Series of 1994, which defined "transition zones." The Legal Services Group initially related deferred land use to transition zones.
: No, it must not be within restricted areas as defined by existing laws.
: Both agricultural and other non-built-up areas that have potential for urbanization can be classified as deferred land use zones.
: It was adopted on 20 July 2001.
: It was approved by the Board of Commissioners, specifically signed by Romulo Q.M. Fabul, Commissioner and Chief Executive Officer.
: It is classified as urban but is actually deferred from current urban use, implying it has not yet been fully urbanized.
: This resolution is for the information and guidance of municipalities for consistent use in their zoning ordinances.
