Question & AnswerQ&A (HLURB ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 07-02)
The main purpose is to approve the deletion of the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) Exemption Clearance from the list of documentary requirements for processing locational clearance for poultry and piggery projects, markets, and for preliminary and final approval of memorial park/cemetery plans.
It was approved on August 21, 2002, and took effect fifteen (15) days after its publication on September 25, 2002.
The requirement for submitting the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) Exemption Clearance was deleted.
A zoning certification issued by the HLURB Regional Officer is required, indicating that the project site is within an area zoned for urban use (i.e., other than agricultural) prior to June 1988.
HLURB Resolution Nos. 674, 681, and 682, Series of 2000 approved the Rules and Regulations for locational clearance for markets, memorial parks and cemeteries, and poultry and piggery projects respectively.
For consistency with the policy set by HLURB Resolution No. 725 which deleted the DAR Exemption Clearance for subdivision and condominium projects and substituted a zoning certification instead.
The HLURB Management Committee recommended the deletion in its meeting held on July 24, 2002.
No, the resolution specifically addresses those projects and maintains the deletion for consistency with the policy for subdivision and condominium projects; other projects may be governed separately.
The resolution was approved by the HLURB Chairman Michael T. Defensor, and Commissioners including Jose C. Calida, Romulo Q. Fabul, Teresita A. Desierto, Augusto B. Santos, Francisco L. Dagaalan, and Roque Arrieta Magno, and attested by Board Secretary Charito B. Lansang.
