a. Land Use Development
b. Planned Use Development
c. Comprehensive Land Use Program
d. Site Planning
e. none of the above

A

b. Planned Use Development

Planned Unit Development (PUD) is a means of land regulation that promotes large-scale unified
land development by means of mid-range realistic programs in pursuit of physically curable social
and economic deficiencies in land and cityscapes. PUD allows for flexibility in zoning regulations and
encourages a mix of land uses within a development, such as residential, commercial, and
recreational spaces. This approach to land use planning emphasizes the importance of the overall
design of a development, rather than simply adhering to strict zoning regulations.
Land Use Development and Comprehensive Land Use Program are related to land use planning and
management, but they do not specifically refer to Planned Unit Development. Site Planning, on the
other hand, is a component of land use planning that involves the design and arrangement of
buildings, infrastructure, and open spaces on a particular site.

A

c. Land Conversion

Land conversion refers to the change from one classification or use of land property to another. It
involves the transformation of land from agricultural, forest, or other uses into residential,
commercial, industrial, or other non-agricultural uses. Land conversion can have significant
environmental, economic, and social impacts, particularly when it involves the loss of valuable
agricultural land, the destruction of natural habitats, or the displacement of local communities.

Land reclassification, land re-use order, land expropriation, and land reformatting are all related to land use and management, but they refer to different processes or actions. Land reclassification, for
example, involves the revision of the land use classification of a particular area or property, while land expropriation involves the acquisition of private property by the government for public use or purposes.

The principal and legal instrument for enforcing locational policies and performance standard of the CLUP is the:

a. Locational Clearance
b. Expropriation Proceedings
c. Zoning Ordinance
d. Police Power
e. Escheat

A

. Zoning Ordinance

The zoning ordinance is the principal and legal instrument for enforcing locational policies and performance standards of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP). It regulates the use of land within a particular jurisdiction, dividing it into different zones or districts, each with its own set of permitted uses and development
standards. The zoning ordinance is a tool used by local governments to guide land use and development and to ensure that development is consistent with the community’s overall vision and goals, and that it contributes to
the common good, public welfare, and public interest.
Locational Clearance is a permit that is required before any construction or development can take place on a
particular piece of land. It is usually issued by the local government or the relevant regulatory agency, and it
ensures that the proposed development is consistent with the zoning ordinance and other land use regulations.
Expropriation Proceedings is a legal process by which the government can acquire private property for public
use, provided that just compensation is paid to the landowner.
Police Power is the inherent power of the State to promote the general welfare, health, safety, and morals of
the people, through the enactment and enforcement of laws and regulations.
Escheat is the process by which the State takes possession of property that has no legal owner, either because
the previous owner died without a will or heirs, or because the property was abandoned or unclaimed.

Land Use Control is an instrument which has been instituted by society to regulate the exercise of certain basic
rights pertaining to land. It refers to the legal and administrative mechanisms used to control the use and
development of land within a particular jurisdiction. Land Use Control includes various tools and strategies,
such as zoning ordinances, land use regulations, building codes, subdivision regulations, and environmental
impact assessments.
Land Use Plan is a document that provides a comprehensive framework for the future development and use of
land within a particular jurisdiction. It guides decision-making related to land use, development, and resource
management.
Land Utilization Plan is a plan that aims to allocate land resources to different land-using activities in a rational
and judicious manner, based on the comprehensive and integrated plan for the area.
Land Management and Control is a system implemented by the State to manage the allocation and use of land
resources and the social, economic, and environmental issues that relate to its allocation and use.

a. Surface Right
b. Productivity Right
c. Development Right
d. Pecuniary Right
e. Restrictive Right

A

d. Pecuniary Right

The Pecuniary Right is the right which allows the owner to make a profit from the current use of his
land. This right can be controlled through taxation. In some countries, the government imposes
property taxes on the assessed value of the land, which is based on its current use and productivity.
The property tax is intended to raise revenue for the government and to encourage landowners to
put their land into productive use.
Surface right refers to the right to use the surface of the land for a particular purpose, such as
building a structure or planting crops. Productivity right refers to the right to use the land for
productive purposes, such as agriculture, forestry, or mining. Development right refers to the right to
develop the land for a particular use, such as residential or commercial development. Restrictive
right refers to the right to restrict the use of the land, such as through easements or covenants

c. Land Development Plan
d. Land Utilization Plan
e. none of the above

A

e. none of the above

In some countries, including the Philippines, the government has the power to impose an idle land
tax on undeveloped or underdeveloped land. This is intended to encourage landowners to put their
land into productive use and to discourage land speculation and hoarding. The idle land tax is usually
a percentage of the land’s assessed value, and the amount varies depending on the length of time
the land has remained idle. Landowners can avoid paying the idle land tax by developing their land
or by leasing it to someone who will develop it.

51
Q

A

a. Comprehensive Land Use Plan

The Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) is a local government unit’s blueprint for land use and
development. It outlines the community’s vision for future growth and development and provides a
framework for decision-making related to land use, development, and resource management. While
landowners have the right to improve their land as they see fit, this right can be limited by land use
planning and zoning regulations, which are established to promote the efficient, equitable, and
sustainable use of land resources. The CLUP guides land use planning and zoning, ensuring that
development is consistent with the community’s overall vision and goals, and that it contributes to
the common good, public welfare, and public interest.
