BAGUIO
CITY -- City planners recently presented to the local government’s management
committee site development plan of the 10-hectare Dairy Farm ceded to the city
by the agriculture department.
Included in the plan are high impact development projects like an abattoir, waste transfer station and transportation terminal to decongest the central business district.
City Planning and Development officer architect Donnna R. Tabangin bared this to city officials saying for these “opposing” projects to co-exist, there will be buffer forests that will be established between the transfer station and abattoir, between the abattoir and terminal and between the transfer station and the terminal to strike balance in the area.
Tabangin said development projects will be provided with adequate infrastructures.
These will be implemented through public private partnership program of the local government, it was learned.
Earlier, Mayor Benjamin B. Magalong directed the City Planning and Development Office to prepare comprehensive master development plan of the area.
City Administrator Bonifacio dela Pen֮a said the comprehensive master development plan will be offered to proponents of two key development projects such as the integrated terminal and modernized abattoir.
He said this will allow stakeholders to adjust their proposals since an integral part of the plan is the existence of waste transfer stations.
The same had been approved by the Environment department to be in the said area since there is no available area in the city where the same will be relocated.
He said a proponent for the integrated terminal submitted its proposal which included developing waste transfer station and modernized abattoir.
The agriculture department ceded to the local government 8.1 hectares within Baguio Dairy Farm for the city’s development projects during the administration of former Mayor Mauricio G. Domogan before the same was expanded with 10.2 hectares after Mayor Magalong assumed office.
