WHEREAS, it has been brought to the attention of the Board that some municipal
zoning ordinances have used the term ìdeferred land useî as one classification of land uses
within their respective municipalities;
WHEREAS, the term, being unconventional, there arose some issues as to the
classification of lands within the said zone;
WHEREAS, the initial efforts by the Legal Services Group (LSG) of this Board tried to
define the above-stated term relating the same to ìtransition zonesî as defined by HLURB
Board Resolution No. 558, Series of 1994;
WHEREAS, it has become imperative to come up with a uniform definition of the term
ìdeferred land useî to be utilized by all municipalities across the country in their ìmunicipal
zoning ordinances;î
WHEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AS IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED, that the term
DEFERRED LAND USE ZONE/CLASSIFICATION, shall mean a non-built-up area, whether
agricultural or otherwise, which has been classified as urban but its actual use has been
deferred in the meantime, PROVIDED, the land is a potential urbanizable area and/or suitable
for urban use and not within restricted areas as defined by existing laws.
For your information and guidance.
