I.1.5. Development Needs

1. Strategic Location and Distribution of Commercial Zones

Zoning for Commercial Activities. Designate specific zones for different

types of commercial activities (e.g., retail, office, mixed-use) within urban and
rural planning frameworks. These zones should be strategically located to
optimize access for residents, minimize traffic congestion, and support
economic activities.

Central Business District (CBD) Development. Strengthen and expand

CBDs as hubs of economic activity. Ensure that these areas are well-
connected to transportation networks and have sufficient land allocated for
future commercial development.

Equitable Distribution Across Communities. Ensure commercial zones are

evenly distributed across urban, suburban, and rural areas to provide equitable
access to services and opportunities for economic participation. This helps
reduce economic disparities and supports local economies.

2. Integration with Infrastructure and Services

Transportation Connectivity. Ensure that commercial zones are easily

accessible via major transportation routes, public transit systems, and
pedestrian pathways. Planning should prioritize connectivity to reduce travel
time for consumers and improve logistics for businesses.

Support Infrastructure. Plan for the necessary infrastructure to support

commercial activities, including parking, utilities (water, electricity,
telecommunications), waste management, and emergency services. Adequate
infrastructure enhances the functionality and attractiveness of commercial
areas.

Mixed-Use Development. Encourage mixed-use developments that integrate

commercial, residential, and recreational spaces. This approach supports

6|Page
 walkability, reduces the need for long commutes, and creates dynamic, live-
work-play environments.

3. Sustainable and Resilient Development

Environmentally Sustainable Practices. Promote environmentally

sustainable practices in the development of commercial areas, such as green
building standards, energy-efficient designs, and the use of renewable energy
sources. Land use planning should support the inclusion of green spaces,
rooftop gardens, and sustainable landscaping.

Climate-Resilient Infrastructure. Ensure that commercial developments are

located in areas that are safe from natural hazards such as flooding,
landslides, or coastal erosion. Design infrastructure to be resilient to extreme
weather events, including stormwater management systems and durable
construction materials.

Preservation of Open Spaces. Integrate open spaces and green belts within
and around commercial zones to enhance the quality of the urban
environment, promote biodiversity, and provide recreational areas for workers
and residents.

4. Flexibility and Adaptability

Flexible Zoning Regulations. Implement flexible zoning regulations that allow

for the adaptive reuse of buildings and spaces as commercial needs evolve.
This flexibility supports the development of pop-up shops, coworking spaces,
and temporary markets, which can respond to changing economic conditions.

Scalable Commercial Areas. Plan commercial zones with scalability in mind,

allowing for expansion as demand grows. This includes reserving land for
future development and designing infrastructure that can accommodate
increased usage over time.

Adaptive Reuse of Buildings. Encourage the adaptive reuse of existing

buildings for commercial purposes, particularly in areas with historical or
cultural significance. This approach maximizes land use efficiency and
preserves the architectural character of the area.

5. Accessibility and Inclusivity

Universal Design for Accessibility. Ensure that commercial areas are

designed with universal access in mind, making them accessible to people of
all abilities. This includes planning for ramps, wide doorways, accessible
restrooms, and other features that ensure inclusivity.

7|Page
 Proximity to Residential Areas. Plan commercial zones close to residential
areas to improve accessibility for consumers and reduce travel time. This
proximity also supports local businesses by ensuring a steady customer base
from nearby residents.

Affordable Commercial Spaces. Allocate land for affordable commercial

spaces to support small businesses and entrepreneurs, particularly in low-
income areas. This helps to foster local economic development and ensures
that all segments of the population have access to economic opportunities.

6. Community Engagement and Participatory Planning

Community-Driven Commercial Planning. Engage local communities in the

planning and development of commercial zones. This participatory approach
ensures that the needs and preferences of the community are considered,
leading to more successful and sustainable commercial areas.

Public-Private Partnerships (PPP). Encourage PPPs in the development and

management of commercial spaces. These partnerships can leverage private
sector investment and expertise to complement public resources, leading to
innovative and high-quality commercial developments.

Integration with Cultural and Social Spaces. Plan commercial areas to

include cultural and social spaces, such as galleries, performance venues, and
community centers. These spaces can enhance the vibrancy of commercial
areas and provide additional attractions for visitors.

7. Economic Resilience and Diversification

Diverse Commercial Offerings. Ensure that commercial zones offer a

diverse range of businesses, from retail and dining to professional services
and entertainment. This diversity makes commercial areas more resilient to
economic downturns and shifts in consumer behavior.

Support for Local Businesses. Plan for commercial spaces that support
local businesses, including markets, incubators, and shared spaces for small
enterprises. This supports economic resilience by fostering local
entrepreneurship and reducing reliance on external markets.

Resilient Supply Chains. Design commercial zones with logistics and supply
chain efficiency in mind, including access to distribution centers, storage
facilities, and transportation hubs. This ensures that businesses can operate
efficiently and respond to disruptions in the supply chain.

8. Monitoring, Evaluation, and Adaptation

8|Page
 Land Use Monitoring for Commercial Areas. Implement systems to monitor
the use and development of land designated for commercial purposes. This
includes tracking occupancy rates, business turnover, and economic
performance to ensure that commercial zones are thriving.

Regular Assessments and Feedback Loops. Conduct regular assessments

of commercial areas to evaluate their performance, identify challenges, and
gather feedback from businesses and consumers. Use this data to guide
future planning, upgrades, and policy adjustments.

Adaptation to Market Trends. Ensure that commercial land use plans are
adaptable to changing market trends, such as the rise of e-commerce or shifts
in consumer preferences. This may involve redesigning spaces, repurposing
buildings, or revising zoning regulations to stay aligned with economic realities.

9. Integration with Urban Planning and Transportation

Urban Transit-Oriented Development (TOD). Integrate commercial

developments with urban transit systems to create transit-oriented
developments that enhance accessibility, reduce traffic congestion, and
promote sustainable urban growth. TODs often feature high-density
commercial areas near transit stations.

Pedestrian-Friendly Design. Plan commercial zones with pedestrian-friendly

designs, including wide sidewalks, crosswalks, public seating, and street-level
retail. This promotes foot traffic, enhances the customer experience, and
reduces the environmental impact of car-dependent developments.

Smart Infrastructure Integration. Incorporate smart infrastructure into

commercial areas, such as digital signage, smart lighting, and automated
parking systems. These technologies can improve the efficiency and appeal of
commercial zones, making them more attractive to businesses and
consumers.

I.5.5. Development Needs

1. Strategic Location and Distribution of Tourism Establishments

Strategic Distribution Across the Locality. Ensure that tourism

establishments, such as hotels, resorts, and restaurants, are evenly distributed
across urban, suburban, and rural areas. This helps to spread economic
benefits, reduce pressure on popular tourist spots, and promote the
development of new tourism zones.

Zoning for Tourism Development. Incorporate specific zoning regulations

that designate land for tourism-related activities within urban and rural

10 | P a g e
 planning frameworks. This includes protecting areas with high tourism
potential from incompatible land uses and ensuring that new developments
align with the locality's tourism strategy.

Proximity to Attractions and Natural Features. Plan tourism establishments

close to key attractions, such as beaches, cultural sites, and natural parks, to
improve accessibility and enhance the visitor experience. This proximity
reduces travel time and encourages tourists to explore multiple sites within the
locality.

2. Integration with Infrastructure and Community Services

Accessibility and Connectivity. Ensure that tourism sites and

establishments are easily accessible by well-maintained roads, public
transportation, and pedestrian pathways. Connectivity to key infrastructure
such as airports, bus terminals, and ports should be prioritized to facilitate
seamless travel for tourists.

Support Infrastructure for Tourism. Plan for the necessary infrastructure to

support tourism, including utilities (water, electricity, waste management),
parking, and emergency services. Adequate infrastructure enhances the
functionality and safety of tourism areas, making them more appealing and
sustainable.

Co-location with Community and Recreational Services. Encourage the

co-location of tourism establishments with other community services, such as
recreational facilities, cultural centers, and shopping areas. This integration
can create comprehensive tourism hubs that offer a range of experiences and
amenities in one location.

3. Environmental Sustainability and Resilience

Conservation of Natural and Cultural Resources. Incorporate land use

planning strategies that prioritize the conservation of natural and cultural
resources within tourism areas. This includes protecting sensitive ecosystems,
preserving historical sites, and ensuring that tourism development does not
compromise the integrity of these resources.

Sustainable Design and Construction. Promote sustainable building

practices for tourism infrastructure, including energy-efficient designs, use of
renewable energy sources, and water conservation systems. Planning should
include space for green infrastructure, such as solar panels, rainwater
harvesting, and waste recycling facilities.

Resilient Location and Management of Tourism Sites. Ensure that tourism

sites and infrastructure are located in areas that are safe from environmental

11 | P a g e
 hazards such as flooding, landslides, or coastal erosion. This includes
planning for resilient infrastructure that can withstand natural disasters and
continue to operate during and after such events.

4. Safety and Security

Safe Design Principles for Tourism Facilities. Apply safety and security
principles to the design of tourism facilities to protect visitors, staff, and assets.
This includes designing spaces with clear visibility, secure access points, and
appropriate lighting to prevent accidents and ensure a safe environment for all.

Emergency Access and Infrastructure. Ensure that tourism sites are

designed with adequate access for emergency vehicles and services. This
includes planning for clear pathways and designated access points for fire
trucks, ambulances, and police vehicles to respond quickly to emergencies.

Monitoring and Surveillance Systems. Design tourism management plans

that incorporate advanced monitoring and surveillance systems to detect and
prevent illegal activities, manage visitor flows, and ensure the safety of tourists
and local communities.

5. Inclusive and Culturally Appropriate Development

Culturally Sensitive Tourism Development. Design tourism strategies that

reflect and respect the cultural heritage of the locality, including recognizing
traditional practices, preserving cultural landscapes, and promoting local arts
and crafts. This may involve developing cultural heritage trails, supporting local
artisans, and ensuring that tourism activities do not disrupt local communities.

Accessibility for All. Ensure that tourism facilities and sites are accessible to
all visitors, including those with disabilities, seniors, and families with young
children. This includes planning for ramps, wide pathways, accessible
restrooms, and clear signage to enhance the visitor experience for everyone.

Inclusive Tourism Programming. Allocate land and resources for tourism

programs that cater to diverse visitor segments, including cultural tourism, eco-
tourism, adventure tourism, and wellness tourism. These programs should be
integrated into the overall tourism strategy, promoting inclusivity and providing
a range of experiences for different types of tourists.

6. Adaptive Reuse and Revitalization

Revitalization of Underused Tourism Areas. Identify and revitalize

underused or abandoned tourism sites to restore their appeal and economic
potential. This could include transforming old resorts, unused public spaces, or

12 | P a g e
 degraded natural areas into vibrant tourism destinations through adaptive
reuse and sustainable development.

Adaptive Reuse of Existing Structures. Support the adaptive reuse of

existing structures for tourism purposes, such as converting historic buildings
into boutique hotels, old warehouses into cultural centers, or unused public
buildings into visitor centers. This approach maximizes land use efficiency and
preserves the cultural and architectural heritage of the locality.

Integration into Urban and Rural Development Projects. Integrate tourism

development into broader urban and rural development projects, ensuring that
tourism growth aligns with the locality's overall land use plan. This includes
coordinating with other sectors, such as transportation, housing, and
environmental management, to create cohesive and sustainable development
outcomes.

7. Community Engagement and Participatory Planning

Community-Driven Tourism Development. Engage local communities in the

planning and development of tourism facilities and programs. This participatory
approach ensures that tourism development aligns with the needs and
preferences of local residents, leading to greater community support and
sustainable outcomes.

Public-Private Partnerships (PPP). Encourage public-private partnerships in

the development and operation of tourism facilities, leveraging private sector
investment and expertise to complement public resources. This can lead to
innovative and high-quality tourism offerings that enhance the locality's appeal
and competitiveness.

8. Monitoring, Evaluation, and Adaptation

Land Use Monitoring for Tourism Development. Implement systems to

monitor the use of land designated for tourism to ensure it is being utilized
effectively and remains attractive to visitors. This includes tracking visitor
numbers, facility usage, and community feedback to guide future planning and
development.

Regular Assessments and Adaptation of Tourism Plans. Conduct regular

assessments of tourism facilities and programs to evaluate their condition,
effectiveness, and impact on the community and environment. Use this data to
guide future upgrades, expansions, or reconfigurations, ensuring that tourism
development remains responsive to changing trends and conditions.

Flexibility in Tourism Infrastructure and Services. Design tourism

infrastructure and services with flexibility in mind, allowing them to adapt to

13 | P a g e
 changing visitor preferences, market conditions, and environmental
challenges. This includes planning for potential expansions, reconfigurations,
or changes in the types of tourism products offered.

9. Integration with Sustainable and Responsible Tourism Practices

Promotion of Eco-Friendly Tourism. Plan tourism strategies that include

eco-friendly practices, such as sustainable resource management, waste
reduction, and energy conservation. These practices should be integrated into
land use planning to ensure that tourism growth does not come at the expense
of environmental sustainability.

Connection to Conservation and Cultural Heritage Initiatives. Ensure that

tourism development is connected to broader conservation and cultural
heritage initiatives, such as the protection of natural parks, wildlife reserves,
and historic sites. This enhances the overall appeal of the locality as a
destination for responsible tourism.

Enhancement of Local Economies through Tourism. Design tourism

strategies that promote the economic development of local communities by
supporting small businesses, local artisans, and community-based tourism
enterprises. These strategies should be accessible and beneficial to local
residents, ensuring that tourism contributes to broader economic and social
goals.
