The need to mainstream climate change inlocal land use policies and developmentstrategies; and strengthen disaster riskreduction management.

The need to have an all-inclusive physicalplan by integrating our coastal and forestlands and other thematic areas such asBiodiversity, Ancestral Domain, and CulturalHeritage) in city/municipal land use planning.

Water Protection Sub-Zones

Fishery Refuge and Sanctuary Sub-Zone (FRS-SZ) Foreshore Land Sub-Zone (FL-SZ) Fishery Reserve Sub-Zone (FR-SZ) Delta/ Estuary Sub-Zone (D/E-SZ) Lake Sub-Zone (Lake-SZ) Mangrove Sub-Zone (MG-SZ) Mariculture Zones and Parks Sub-Zone (MZP-SZ)

The following are designated as Overlay Zones:

1. Landslide Overlay Zone (LSD-OZ) 2. Flood Overlay Zone (FLD-OZ) 3. Scenic Corridor Overlay Zone (SCD-OZ) 4. Faultline Overlay Zone (FLT-OZ) 5. Heritage Overlay Zone (HTG-OZ) 6. Ecotourism Overlay Zone (ETM-OZ) 7. Urban Corridor Overlay Zone (UCD-OZ) 8. Transit-Oriented Development Overlay Zone (TOD-OZ) 9. Billboards Overlay Zone (BB-OZ) 10. Key Biodiversity Area Overlay Zone (KBA-OZ) 11. Critical Habitat Overlay Zone (CH-OZ) 12. Ancestral Lands Overlay Zone (AL-OZ)

This is a "transparent zone" that is overlain ontop of a base or basic zone or another overlayzone that provides an additional layer ofregulations.

Overlay Zones may be used to regulate activitieson the basic or Base Zones or another OverlayZone. Cities/ Municipalities should determinetheir specific development issues that should beaddressed in promulgating Overlay Zoneregulations.
