and also some of the barangays belonging to Cotabato and Bukidnon Provinces<br />
(Comprehensive Land Use Plan, 2013-2022).<br />
Moreover, the City of Davao through the Comprehensive Land Use Plan,<br />
2013-202 had proposed that the agricultural area of the Calinan district will be<br />
increased to 15,981 hectares as classified in the land capability map. Owing to the<br />
presence of recharge zones of Davao City’s aquifer, 3,783 hectares will be zoned as<br />
conservation areas while those that are highly susceptible to flooding will be<br />
classified as Floodway zones where residential development will be restricted.<br />
Residential areas will be increased in safe lands to 245 hectares while the remaining<br />
industrial zones will be rezoned into residential and agro industrial zones. The<br />
district will serve as the semi-processing and consolidation area of agricultural<br />
products to be delivered later to the main processing area of Toril. The district will<br />
continue to serve as a minor urban area catering to the urban needs of its<br />
surrounding area. Commercial activities will be encouraged to provide service to the<br />
largely agriculture-based population.<br />
Mintal-Tugbok, due to the geographical advantage and existing high level<br />
educational institutions in this area, this growth center serve as the center for other<br />
higher level education, bio-technology research and development for Mindanao and<br />
the East ASEAN Growth Area (EAGA). Residential areas will continue to be<br />
developed in the area owing to its accessibility to educational facilities and its<br />
relatively low land values. These residential developments will offer opportunities<br />
for the surrounding farmlands to supply for the food requirements of the area. It is<br />
expected that the demand for commercial areas in Mintal will increase while the<br />
existing tourist attractions in Los Amigos and surrounding barangays in Tugbok<br />
district will enjoy new customers. It is also envisioned that this center shall serve as<br />
the site for a world-class sports complex that is capable of accommodating local as<br />
well as international sports events (Comprehensive Land Use Plan, 2013-2022).<br />
The same Comprehensive Land Use Plan, 2013-202, suggested that to<br />
accommodate the expansion of the residential areas in the district (Tugbok), 2,178<br />
hectares is allotted for residential purposes. This is followed by 9,960 hectares for<br />
agriculture uses. A total of 617 hectares and 146 hectares is zoned as Floodway and<br />
Conservation respectively. Institutional zone is brought up to 558 to accommodate<br />
the relocation of the schools and universities and other institutional uses in the<br />
area. Industrial land to accommodate light industrial activities will be located within<br />
a 72- hectare area which is far less than the previous industrial land allotted in the<br />
area. The Tugbok district provides a key expansion area for the residential<br />
development of the city. Most of the middle class housing developments are fast<br />
rising in the area to take advantage of its relatively lower land prices. This however<br />
may pose a problem in terms of traffic congestion if all residents will avail of their<br />
urban needs in the Central Business District (CBD). Commercial development will
