*Significance- Minor or Important/Major (basis for evaluating comments if compulsory to revise/refine)

 Minor comments- grammatical/typographical errors, absence of data/information which have no

or little significance to the development of CLUP and ZO, minor deviations from guidelines such
as intensity of colors in zoning maps, and comments that may have no or little impact to the
implementations of the CLUP and ZO

 Important/Major comments- absence of data/information that may have significant impact to the
CLUP and ZO (e.g. land use change matrix), entries/texts/maps that may cause confusion during
the plan implementation (e.g. similar color codes), and findings/comments that may have
significant impact to the formulation and implementation of the CLUP and ZO
