3.1.5 CEMETERY LAND USE PLAN
Future burial grounds are one the most critical land use decision in Caloocan City. Although some of the cadavers within Caloocan City are buried in cemeteries outside the City, still the remaining number of deaths does not have an equal number with future burial grounds needed.
There are only three (3) cemeteries present in South Caloocan City. Sangandaan cemetery is government owned and needs extensive improvement and rehabilitation, while La Loma and Eternal Garden Memorial Park are privately owned, in good condition, but cant serve future burial needs for the next twenty-(20) years. Cemeteries further reduces its land area when part of La Loma Cemetery was covered by C-3 Road project. Under this condition, the plan is constrained to classify only existing burial places.
Alternative plan to mitigate the gaps between deaths and burial space, is the installation of crematorium, particularly within public cemetery.
This step can also generate additional revenue for the City Government.
The provision of proposed cemetery land use plan in time slightly increases the total land area of existing burial sites from 65 to 67 hectares or a 3.30 % additional space .
3.1.6 INSTITUTIONAL LAND USE PLAN
Institutional land use plan intends to classify existing areas characterized by its function to provide educational, welfare, protective, and other basic urban services. These are plots containing schools, health and medical institutions, churches and government building(s), among others. The space for future schools and public halls and buildings (for example convention areas, barangay halls, and police boxes) are found as a critical land use problem. It is for this reason that land use management policies intends to keep current use of all pubic schools, and government owned facilities. However, about a total of 17 hectares of small institutional areas (such as clinics, small hospitals), and institutional blocks at Dagat-Dagatan Development Projects, that were converted
to other uses, are not included in the proposed institutional land use plan. Only institutions covering large tracts of land that include areas with large church buildings, universities, hospitals, police and fire headquarters, and all public schools shall fall under institutional use.
The use of public school for other public activities can also serve as an alternative land use management strategy. Public school buildings particularly classrooms and play courts can be used after school hour for public assembly by other government (for instance a Barangay council), private or socio-civic organizations. The use of school facilities can also serve as other means of revenue generation if rented to business organizations handling usual business meetings.
However, the City Government should device program to design and develop classrooms and playcourts that are convertible to functional and aesthetically acceptable assembly spaces.
The remaining areas planned under institutional use reduces in land area from 60 to 57 hectares or an unavoidable 17% decrease. Those remaining small parcels under institutional use are converted to other uses that are predominantly enfolding the said estates.
The following areas are classified under institutional use.
3.1.6.1 Areas occupied by schools namely:
• Bagong Barrio Elementary School
• Bonifacio Elementary School
• Caloocan Elementary School
• Caloocan High School
• Cecilio Apostol Elementary School

3.1.7 OPEN SPACE LAND USE PLAN
Open spaces for parks and recreation are areas principally designed for amusement and for maintenance of a community’s ecological balance.
These are usually designated public parks and plazas and open spaces within subdivisions.
Maintaining open space in South Caloocan City is the most critical land use management problem in South Caloocan. Since the area is highly urbanized for a long period without any significant expanse of green, acquiring new open space is almost unfeasible. The land use plan however intends to utilize easements of riverbanks such as along Tullahan River to develop into linear parks or urban forest. This measure could also be a means of protecting the environment, similarly to preserve and stabilize riverbanks and eventually prevent massive soil erosion and river siltation. The plan also
expects to categorize small number of existing parks and playgrounds, plazas and play courts under open space use.
The plan for these reasons increases the land area of open spaces from a meager 1.28 to 29.09 hectares or twenty three times larger.
Areas covered under open space use are the following:
3.1.7.1 All existing public parks namely:
• Plaza Rizal
• Barrio Galino Park
• Gregoria de Jesus Plaza
3.1.7.2 All existing subdivision open spaces at U.E. Subdivision, Morning Breeze Subdivision, and all pocket parks and open space in Dagat-Dagatan Development Project and Bagong Barrio Development Project.
3.1.7.3 Easements at riverbank of
Tullahan River and proposed open
space adjacent to the site of
Integrated Bus Terminal Complex.

3.2.1 RESIDENTIAL LAND USE PLAN
Proposed residential areas in North Caloocan City are mostly existing housing subdivisions and vacant areas suitable for residential use. Some present residential subdivisions located in proposed urban centers is classified under commercial and industrial uses. However, those converted to non-residential uses shall continue to dwell or changed in use into higher intensity mixed-use such as residential-commercial or to small-scale cottage industry.
Strategies on promoting urban growth within residential plots includes providing subdivisions with road links or a viable collector and distributor road network system. The plan also intends to install playground facilities and landscapes to existing open spaces.
Residential land use plan in North Caloocan City expect to slightly decrease the total residential land area from 2597 to2387 hectares or an 8% decline.
