BACOLOD City – Mayor Evelio Leonardia has recently invited local chief executives of three neighboring cities and a town in a bid to harmonize their Comprehensive Land Use Plans (CLUPs).
Leonardia tapped the mayors of Talisay, Silay and Bago cities and Murcia town.
In line with this, Bacolod City Planning and Development Office head Mary Jean Ramos and Engineer Kelly Grant also met with their fellow planning and development coordinators.
They include Edwin De Nicolas and Ernie Earl Baylon of Bago City, Glenda Ruiz and Efren Francisco of Murcia, and Marmelo Sausi of Talisay City.
According to Ramos, Bacolod is “taking into consideration the growth and development of its neighboring [areas] and tries to incorporate them in its proposed CLUP.”
Ramos believes this is one way to achieve a “synchronized and harmonious development in Bacolod, Talisay, Bago, Silay, and Murcia.”
The discussion focused on these topics: roads and bridges (like the New Bacolod Economic Highway), the proposed coastal road and viaduct, the farm-to-market road (Sugar Road), and the proposed public transport system that includes the light rail transit and bus rapid transit systems.
Ramos said the meeting was the first in a series of meetings that will continue in the coming months.
Bacolod’s CLUP is a 10-year development program that will be the basis for the proposed amendment inthe Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance No. 216 Series of 1998.
The CLUP will determine specific uses of land and other physical and natural resources in the city. (With a report from the Bacolod City PIO/PN)
