Introduction

Makati City has a gone long way from its roots as a pre-hispanic settlement to becoming the primary center of commerce and the preferred business and residential address of the country. Named after its patron saint, San Pedro de Makati was once a visita of Santa Ana de Sapa under the jurisdiction of the Franciscans in the early 16th-17th centuries. In 1890, it was decreed a public town of Manila. Soon after the Americans took over the control of the island of Luzon from the Spaniards, San Pedro de Makati was incorporated into the province of Rizal under Commonwealth Act No. 137 (June 11, 1901). In 1902, the Americans described the town as a pueblo on the south shore of Pasig River, known for a resort for convalescents, with a population of 3,921. A year later, a town administrator was installed to supervise community affairs. In the years that followed, San Pedro de Makati remained a third class agricultural town wherein the primary means of livelihood came from the cultivation of rice and horse fodder. In 1914, Philippine Legislature Act No. 2390 shortened the name of the town to its present name of Makati. It became part of the National Capital Region (Metro Manila) in the 1970s. Recently, under the administration of Mayor Jejomar C. Binay, Makati became a city with the enactment of Republic Act No. 7854 and a plebiscite approval in 1995. Makati has been described as a city of three areas: the central business district, the old town or Poblacion area, and Fort Bonifacio. These areas reflect both the diversity and synergy of Makatieach of them playing different roles in different parts of the city and yet collectively forming a single community. As the new millenium dawns, Makati faces the tasks of integrating and forging these roles, building on their strengths, and utilizing them to address the challenge of sustaining growth with equity and environmental integrity. Among the tools required to perform these tasks is a Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP). The Makati City CLUP is intended to guide the utilization of the citys land resources. It is part of a set of efforts that seek the attainment of a vision for the city, as identified by the citys constituents through the local government. The CLUP provides the spatial framework of the overall development plan of the city. It integrates the various sectoral concerns into a plan that guides the location, amount, intensity, and type of activities that can take place throughout the city, and which is implemented primarily through a Zoning Ordinance and supported by a Capital Investment Program.

The Makati CLUP has four parts: Existing Conditions and Trends: The first is a description and an analysis of existing conditions and trends. This part covers the various social and physical sectors of development planningpopulation, land use, economy, transportation, utilities, social services.

Physical Development Goals, Objectives, and Strategies: The second considers various sectoral concerns, plans, programs, projects, and recommendations, and defines the citys physical development goals, objectives, and strategies. These set the directions by which the preferred physical framework of the city is derived. Physical Framework/Conceptual Plans: The third translates and integrates the various sectoral plans and recommendations into a set of conceptual plans that serves as a framework for the citys physical development. This framework defines Makatis spatial strategy towards the attainment of the development goals and objectives. Land Use Plan: The fourth is a further translation of the physical framework/ conceptual plans, involving more detailed physical dimensions, into the Land Use Plan. This Plan is the basis for the formulation of a Zoning Ordinance that serves as the legal instrument for the implementation of the Land Use Plan.
