2
 as major shopping malls (SM City Dasmariñas and Robinsons Place Dasmariñas) and
industrial parks (First Cavite Industrial Estate, Dasmariñas Techno Park and Molave
Industrial Estate) that significantly contributed to its economic growth such as
employment generation, tax collection and entrepreneurship both locally and towards
its surrounding area.

 Physical Infrastructure

o Transportation Network

The City has a total road network of 836.14 hectares in which roads are
classified into National, Provincial, City, Barangay and Subdivision roads.

Aguinaldo Highway is a national highway traversing the City of

Dasmariñas. It originated from Coastal Road that links Metro Manila to
Tagaytay City. This road serves as the central development spine that links the
City of Dasmariñas to neighboring cities and municipalities and to Metro
Manila. The major roads in the City include Aguinaldo Highway, Salitran-
Salawag Road/Jose Abad Santos Avenue, Paliparan-Molino Road, and
Governor’s Drive with a total length of 40.41 kilometers. The whole stretch are

concreted while the subdivision roads have an average length of 583.036
kilometers as seen on Table 107 that provides information on the Inventory of
Roads by system classification and states the total length and road surface
type of the roads.

 Land Use Development Trend

The linear type and concentric form of development exemplifies the land
use trend in the City.

There is a concentration of development on both sides of the major

transportation routes along the national roads of E. Aguinaldo Highway, Governors
Drive and Molino-Paliparan road.

VI. Development Thrusts and Spatial Strategy

DEVELOPMENT THRUSTS AND SPATIAL STRATEGY

1) Preferred Growth Thrusts

The fundamental development thrusts of the 2016 to 2025 Comprehensive Land

Use Plan are as follows:

a. Constant Economic Growth

 Manageable industrial growth;
 Reinforcement of modern technologies for the agriculture sector;
 Identification all possible historical/cultural and leisure-tourism development;
and
 Increase technical labor forces through establishment of massive training
center.

b. Enhance the Quality of living

 Employment assistance;
 Establishment of sufficient training center;
 Establishment of sufficient facilities in accordance with the specific demand of
social services;
 Establishment of adequate quality infrastructure facilities and services; and
 Comprehensive traffic and transportation management.

c. Guided and Controlled Land Development

 Conservative identification of land usage and thorough analysis of land

conversion;
 Comprehensive land management scheme;
 Environment-friendly urban expansion; and

7
  Enhancement in the preservation of agricultural productive land area.

d. Reliable Environmental Fortification Scheme

 Implementation of Environmental Laws;
 Dissemination of effects of global warming; and
 Disaster preparedness scheme.

e. Institutional Strengthening
 Identification of responsible agencies and instrumentalities responsible for
institutionalized development;
 Private and public partnership with some Non-Government Organization and
business sectors, with assistance from national agencies and stakeholders’
participation; and
 Modernization of City-owned Institution and strengthening its administrative
and technical function to deliver complete services to its stakeholders.

2) The Structure Plan

The city’s achievement of goals and objectives should be based on a strong

preferred spatial scheme channeled on the demographic changes and comprehensive
balanced economic activities which tend to bring about continuous development.

Land space resources shortages caused by demographic trends, tends to create

volatility of available resources. The combined multi-nodal and linear urban form of
development will be the spatial approach that the city has to implement with an aim of
balancing social, economic and physical development of the city. The spatial scheme re-
directs development away from the urban core or city center toward identified urban
growth areas which are characterized by clusters of development where each cluster has
its own specialization.

The City’s main center will provide specialized facilities and services to its node
escalation area and acts as it external linkage to other centers of the city. The nodes
support the major center as its captive market while providing neighborhood facilities and
services to its area of influence.

Under the Multi-Nodal form, a number of additional mixed-use growth areas will be
developed outside the Poblacion area existing center of development.

Another related nodal-central type of development is radial and circumferential. It

shows a development channel fanning out from a given center where points of activities
are interconnected by radial and circumferential road systems which are potential
development corridors of economic activities.

The structure plan is the layout of the future projected activities for the next 10-
year planning period, its supposed venue, and applicable strategies. The structure plan
also identifies proposed and existing roads to identified activity areas.

VII. Proposed Land Uses and Zoning Ordinance

9
 LAND USE PROPOSALS

The land use plan for the City of Dasmariñas was formulated in close coordination with
the agencies and officials concerned with planning and development of the City. It broadly
delineates the general location of major zones in support of the identified functional role and
development thrusts of the city.

A. Residential Areas

The plan proposes the development of residential areas into general and high-
density districts.

High-density residential districts:

o Areas inside the following boundaries: on the North by Jose Abad Santos
Avenue, on the East by Paliparan-Salawag Road, on the South by Governor’s
Drive, Manila Memorial Park, St. Charbel Subdivision and Vineyard Village of
Robinson’s Group, West by National Power Corporation, Santo Niño Creek
and Imus River.

o Areas in Burol Main and Salitran II bounded on the North by Commercial strip
at Jose Abad Santos Avenue, on the East by Imus river, on the South by
commercial strip along Gov. D. Mangubat Avenue and the West by Tobong
Creek and commercial strip of Aguinaldo Highway.

o Areas on the eastern part of Barangay Salawag, Paliparan I, II and III.

General residential districts:

o Areas in Barangay Sampaloc I, II, III, IV & V, Langkaan I & II, San Agustin I, II
& III, San Jose, Sabang, Salitran I and portion of Salitran II & IV.

Residential areas shall be provided with basic facilities and services including
schools and recreational areas, health centers / health units, day care centers, livelihood
centers and shopping areas as well as ample water and power supply, fire protection and
police services among others. Accessibility to major functional zones shall be affected
through the existing road network and proposed roads passing via feasible routes.

B. Commercial Areas

The commercial areas intended for use includes areas occupied by two public
markets, all talipapa markets, warehouses and all commercial establishments. The plan
proposes the development of 100-meter strip on both sides of General Emilio Aguinaldo
Highway as Financial and Commercial District of the City.

National roads and other major thoroughfares and City roads will also be
designated as general commercial zones.

All lots along City and barangay roads may convert into commercial use as
neighborhood commercial complex to support the basic needs of all residential area.

To ensure free flow of traffic, there shall be adequate provisions for parking within
the commercial sites, for those along the highway, ingress/ egress to the highway shall be
controlled.

Building height shall be in ascending order from those lot abutting the highway
going higher towards the inner lots of Institutional Areas.

10
 C. Redevelopment Areas

Mixed-Use Areas – Residential, Commercial, Institutional and Industrial

Barangay Paliparan I and II and Barangay Langkaan I

These areas are within the two-kilometer radius of Governor’s Drive and presently
occupied by different industrial establishments, warehouses, residential
subdivisions, and private and public schools. These areas are suited for any used
mentioned however, it must be compatible to the adjoining uses or they must
provide buffer zone before issuance of any permits.

Central Business District – Barangay Zone I, I-A, II, III, & IV (Poblacion Area)
- Poblacion being the seat of the City Government will continue to have importance
as commercial, residential, and cultural center for the coming years, expect that
some residential buildings will be converted into a commercial use or institutional
use.

Dasmariñas Bagong Bayan - Dasmariñas Bagong Bayan or DBB is a home for

more than 260,000 of City population. Commercialization and tradings are rising
along the major roads. Proper setback of buildings and provisions for adequate
parking must be implemented. Road improvements are needed to accommodate
increasing numbers of commuters.

D. New Development Areas

Planned Unit Development – (Salawag) Residential, Commercial and

Institutional

Barangay Salawag is located on the north-eastern side of the City and

bounded by the Cities of Bacoor, Muntinlupa and San Pedro. Salawag being
adjoining to Daang Hari and near to some high end subdivisions and commercial
complexes like Evia will serve as gateway to new high end residential and
commercial development up to Paliparan II. It can be called as new commercial
center on the north-eastern side of the City.

Institutional Growth Areas/Government Center – Burol Main

Barangay Burol Main being adjacent to or near to De La Salle Medical

Center and De La Salle College is the proper area for expansion for schools,
universities and other institutional establishments. The 12.8 hectare owned by the
City Government is the ideal place for construction of public universities, as well
as for new City Hall and other public buildings.
