ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Special thanks to The County Government of Uasin Gishu, for having recognized the

importance of planning in development. This was demonstrated through facilitation of

preparation of this interim County Land Use Regulatory Framework (2014 – 2017).

The County Executive committee has been instrumental in ensuring that the plan is prepared in

accordance with general county sectoral policies and facilitate the approval and adoption of the

plan. The County Executive Committee Member, County Department of Lands, Housing and

Physical Planning has been instrumental in the plan preparation exercise, who has provided the

ultimate and overall leadership to ensure the success of these plan deserve special gratitude. The

Chief Officer for Lands, Housing and Physical Planning has been most dedicated to ensure the

plan is effectively and properly prepared and offered enormous contribution to the preparation

of this plan.

The National Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development: - Department of Physical

Planning has been most crucial in providing unmatched technical and professional advice in the

preparation of this plan without which the plan would have not been a success. The Director of

Physical Planning who personally participated and offered his most generous professional

contribution is most acknowledged.

The County Committee in charge of Lands, Housing & Physical Planning; the committee of the

County Assembly of Uasin Gishu was most helpful in offering their contribution to the plan.

The Chairman and his competent members helped mobilize the members of the public where

Minimum standards, guidelines and regulations were presented. The County Assembly of Uasin

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This Land use framework for Uasin Gishu County addresses salient planning challenges facing

the County. Uncoordinated land use activities and the growth of urban areas has in the recent

past threatened the rich agricultural hinterland therefore prompting the County Government of

Uasin Gishu to suspend critical land transactions as land subdivision and change of user with

the view addressing the phenomenon. The Government sanctioned the preparation of the land

use framework to define the urban growth limits which facilitate the containment of urban

activities and promote of urbanization and also define the bounds from which Agricultural

activities will be encouraged i.e. agricultural promotion area.

The County Government acknowledges that proper planning will be addressed through other

Planning activities including County Spatial Plan for the entire County, Integrated Urban

structure plans for Towns, and other local Physical development plan e.g. Zoning Plans,

Development plans for small trading centres, subject plans. This therefore is considered an

interim stop gap measure to facilitate the control of development in the next 2-5 years within the

County, period during which the County Government will initiate and sanction the preparation

of the plans.

The County planning, land use and developmental challenges exist due to lack of a defined

urban growth limit to define areas of Urban and Agricultural promotion areas. Inadequacy of

minimum planning standards, regulations or guidelines has aggravated the situation. The

County Physical planning institutional framework is considered weak, poorly structured and its

capacity termed weak.

Major planning challenges facing the county; urban sprawl, uncontrolled land fragmentation,

uncontrolled urban development, slum proliferation, land speculation, reducing land

productivity, lack of implementation, monitoring and implementation, political interference,

lack of public awareness and environmental degradation among others.

These land use framework is expected to provide a basis with which all county development

requirements will be controlled and implemented. The plan is crafted to fit into the subsequent

Physical development plans to be generated in the near future. This include the County spatial

v

plans, the integrated Urban structure plans, any advisory/Zoning plans, Development and or

subject plans or any other Physical development plan shall be crafted to accommodate and,

promote or enhance the provisions of these interim Land Use framework to facilitate effective,

forward and progressive land use development.

Eldoret Town area is considered the most active area in terms of urban development and

singularly by and large threatens to eat into the agricultural hinterland. Due to this fact, an

elaborate land use analysis has been conducted which sufficiently informs the Land use

proposals and generation of optimum minimum standards, guidelines and regulations. These are

aimed at controlling land use activities within the Urban promotion zone.

The implementation framework has assigned various activities as well as actors and time

frames. Institutional framework established is expected to ensure implementation of this plan.

The plan is cognizant of other institutional functions like the National Land commission which

one of its functions is to provide oversight on land use planning in all counties. The Land

control board and land control board to be trained to ensure effective monitoring and evaluation.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

1.1 Overview

The Physical Planning standards, Guidelines and Regulations are developed to ensure guided

and controlled land use management and urban development. It also ensures public order,

safety, health and aesthetics. It is intended to provide a basis for controlling planning aspects to

ensure properly planned and controlled developments. It also limits the rampant land

fragmentation that is a threat to agricultural potential of the county.

1.2 Problem statement

Uasin Gishu County lacks Physical Planning Policy Framework to guide land use and control

development. Consequently, this has lead to massive sub-divisions and change of user thereby

leading to loss of rich agricultural land, urban sprawl, uncontrolled urban developments, slum

proliferation, land speculation and environmental degradation among other planning challenges.

1.3 Purpose

This exercise is aimed at formulating interim land use framework that will guide and control

land use and development in the county.

1.4 Scope

The land use framework applies to all land within the legal geographical and physical

boundaries as well as planning jurisdiction of Uasin Gishu County except protected/restricted

area.

Time framework will be short term (2-5 yrs) as an interim measure pending preparation of

County spatial plan and urban development plans for the major urban centres.

This framework seeks to address planning and development control issues namely; sub-

divisions, change of users, urban sprawl, ribbon development, lack of implementation of

development plans, urban character/form, agricultural productivity, environmental degradation,

infrastructure and service, livelihoods and aesthetics.

1.5 Objectives

To define rural urban boundary that sets the limit of urban development and safeguards

agricultural land;

To provide physical planning standards and guideline to facilitate orderly and

progressive development in the County;

To provide institutional framework for implementation, monitoring and evaluation.

1.6 Justification

The Constitution of Kenya section 60(1) and vision 2030 advocates that land should be

held in a manner that is equitable, efficient, productive and sustainable;

The Bill of Rights in the Constitution provides for clean and healthy environment and

has the right to adequate health care, housing, sanitation, food, water, education, social

security under section 42 and 43;

Physical Planning Act provides for the preparation of the physical development plan and

formulation of by-laws to regulate zoning in respect of use and density of development.

1.7 Methodology

1.7.1 Approach

The activities involved were literature review, field surveys, brainstorming, consultations and

stakeholder’s participation. Data was acquired from both primary and secondary sources where

various documents such as published books, registered maps, enacted legal statutes and policies

were reviewed. Field data collection majorly involved rapid appraisal, informal survey and

structured observation of the development trends and existing land uses.

Stakeholders were involved to share and contribute towards achieving an all-inclusive land use

framework through meetings and workshops during the preparation process.

The planning area covers Uasin Gishu County. The identification of urban areas and delineation

of the urban growth limit for Eldoret town and other urban centres, identifying subject and

action area for densification, upgrading and redevelopment.

1.7.2 Planning Process

Step by step approach was applied in preparation of the land use framework. The steps were

borrowed from the Physical Planning Handbook as logical and systematic approach in plan

preparation process as shown in the diagram below.

CHAPTER 2: BACKGROUND

2.1 Overview

This Chapter contains general background information on Uasin Gishu County in terms of

location and size, physiographic and natural conditions, climatic conditions, administrative and

political units. It also contains legal and institutional framework.

2.2 Location and Size

Uasin Gishu is one of the 47 Counties in Kenya located approximately 300km to the North

West of Nairobi. It lies between longitudes 340 50’’ east and 350 37’’ West and latitudes 00 03’’

South and 00 55’’ North. The county shares common borders with Trans Nzoia County to the

North, Elgeyo Marakwet County to the East, Baringo County to the South East, Kericho County

to the South, Nandi County to the South West and Kakamega County to the North West. It

covers a total area of 3,345.2 Km2.

2.3 Physiographic and Natural Conditions

Uasin Gishu County is a highland plateau with altitudes falling gently from 2,700 metres above

sea level to about 1,500 metres above sea level. The topography is higher to the east and slopes

gently towards the western border. The County is physiographically divided into three zones:

the upper highlands, upper midlands and lower highlands. These zones greatly influence land

use patterns as they determine the climatic conditions. The geology is dominated by tertiary

volcanic rock.

The soils comprise of red loam soils, red clay soils, brown clay soils and brown loam soils that

mainly support maize, sunflower, wheat, pyrethrum, potatoes and barley farming. They also

support livestock rearing and forestry.

The County lies within the Lake Victoria catchment basin and all its rivers drain into the lake.

The major rivers include Sosiani, Kipkaren, Kerita, Nderugut, Daragwa, and Sambu.

Human Settlement

Human Settlements are viewed as human habitats and the linkages with areas where man

derives his livelihood. Human settlements do not exist in isolation they are linked to activity

areas and functions such as education, commercial, industrial, recreational, residential among

other users together with infrastructural units. The Government Policy on human settlement is

viewed in terms of shelter and housing which is to ensure adequate shelter that provides

protection from the elements of weather as well as security, privacy and space for socio-

7

economic activities for the advancement of the quality of life. There are two types of human

settlements, the urban and rural settlements.

2.8 Human Settlement Patterns

There are three types of settlement patterns namely:

linear/ribbon pattern

clustered pattern

Dispersed pattern

2.9 Legal and Institutional Framework

Preparation of the land use framework was guided by the following legal frameworks;

The Constitution (2010)

Physical Planning Act (CAP 286)

Urban Areas and Cities Act (2011)

County Government Act (2012)

National Land Policy (2009)

CHAPTER 3: SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS

3.1 Introduction

This Chapter comprises of land use analysis in Uasin Gishu County, development patterns and

growth trends, infrastructure facilities and services and the emerging issues to be addressed in

the policy formulation and development of planning standards and guidelines.

3.2 Development Trends and patterns

The county of Uasin Gishu like any other county has both rural and urbanized areas. The

urbanized areas vary from large towns, mediums towns to small trading centres while the rural

parts are characterized mainly by agricultural land use.

3.2.1 Levels of urban development in Uasin Gishu

Level of the urban developments in the county was arrived at based on the following factors;

Size of urbanized area;

The level of urban growth;

Availability of development catalysts e.g. infrastructure and major facilities and

services;

Areas experiencing planning and development challenges e.g. intensive subdivisions and

change/extension of users.

Based on the above, 3 levels of urban developments were derived. The map below analyses

various towns and centres in the county.

Map 5

10

3.2.2 Linear Growth development

The County has been experiencing massive linear development along all the major roads across

the county. Centres sprawling as a result of being advantaged by major trunk infrastructure are;

Soy (B2)

Moi’s Bridge (B2)

Burnt forest (A104)

Maili 13/ Jua Kali (A104)

Ngeria (A104)

Sigowet/Baharini (A104)

Kapseret (C39)

Marura – Chepkanga (C51)

Kipkorgot / Islamic (B54)

3.2.3 Clustered growth Developments

These developments are mainly found around higher learning institutions across the county

examples are:

Kesses centre

Ngeria centre

Sogomo Centre

3.2.4 Dispersed Settlement

This mode of settlement is found in rural areas where a large track of agricultural lands exists

e.g. Moiben, Ainabkoi, Sugoi, Soy, Ziwa etc

3.3 Land use analysis

3.3.1 Urban land use analysis

Eldoret town is the largest town in the county followed by other medium satellite towns namely

Burnt forest, Turbo, Kesses, Ziwa, Moiben, Soy and Moi’s Bridge. The origin of these towns is

attributed to the human settlement strategy of 1978 through creation of hierarchy centres, the

demand for facilities and services near rural residents and other forces such as industrial

developments, proximity to the town, real estate development and higher learning institutions in

the county.

11

Small trading centres are mostly private which are as a resultant of subdivisions of the large

farms. The essence was to provide space for commercial activities to supply low order goods

and services to the local residents, local consumable products, to provide public facilities and

utilities such as health centres, common water points, administrative offices etc and to offer

rented accommodation.

Level 1: Eldoret town

Characteristics

Existing land uses: Eldoret town has elaborate land uses namely; residential, industrial,

educational, recreational, public purpose/ utilities, commercial, transport facilities and urban

agriculture. The land uses exists through implementation of approved and unapproved physical

development plans and also through laissez faire kind of development. As a result there is

evidence of uncontrolled and unguided development, emergence of illegal structures and

encroachments.

12

Map 6

13

Informal settlement: Emergence of informal settlement within the town is evident. These are

slums that have similar characteristics with the rest of slum areas in the country such as, poor

housing conditions, inadequate infrastructure and services, insecure land tenure, social decay,

environmental degradation etc. Examples of these slum areas include Langas, Munyaka,

Kamukunji, Huruma.

Urban decay: Some areas of Eldoret town are experience urban decay. This includes buildings

in CBD, industries the county government housing estates, railway housing estates and houses

owned by National Housing Corporation located in Kidiwa, Bondeni areas.

Urbanization and urban sprawl: Urbanization and sprawl to the agricultural land is a major

characteristics attributed to Eldoret town. The urbanization is uncontrolled and it is taking place

at a high rate. This is attributed to the population pressure and demand for housing and other

urban land uses thus affecting agricultural productivity

High Population growth rate: population in Eldoret town is growing at a high rate estimated to

be 8%. This has been attributed to rural urban migration, access to basic facilities and services

such as higher learning institutions, specialized medical facilities etc, seeking employment and

the urge to get better livelihood. Increase in population in satellite towns is also being

experienced and is attributed to the aforementioned reasons

Emerging issues

Lack of Land use Policy Framework to control land fragmentation, the urban sprawl

and control development;

Decaying of county housing estates;

Proliferation of slums and informal settlement;

Inadequate basic infrastructure, facilities and services in satellites towns to reduce

the backwash effect.

Level 2: Urban CentresThe urban growth and development of level 2 centres has the following characteristics

High rates of urban growth majorly influenced by available infrastructure and facilities e.g. higher learning institutes, trunk infrastructure etc.

14

Characterized by linear/ribbon development patterns or Clustered pattern (especially those near learning institutions)

Emerging issues

Urban sprawl to agricultural land, inadequate of basic infrastructure and services, unplanned/uncontrolled development

Level 3: Small Trading Centres

The small trading centres are mostly private centres which were resultant of subdivisions of

large farms. The centres were set aside to provide basic commercial and public facilities closer

to the rural residents. The major characteristics of these centres are;

Back wash effect: Concentration of basic facilities and services on one major centre

(Eldoret) is stagnating development in the small trading centres. This is being felt in

towns such as Moiben;

Low urban population; mainly those working in administrative offices and small scale

traders;

Catchment area is agricultural which is the major economic activity;

The main land use activities are commercial cum residential comprising of small scale

traders dealing with fast moving goods and services and supply of agricultural inputs;

Un planned and un controlled development leading to haphazard development and other

planning challenges;

Inadequate and poor conditions of basic infrastructure facilities and services e.g. poor

road connectivity, ill equipped health facilities, unreliable water etc.

Emerging issues

Lack of Physical Development Pans for small centres or trading centres;

Lack of basic infrastructure facilities and services;

15

3.4 Rural land use analysis

These areas are predominantly agricultural where large and small scale farming is practiced.

The areas are characterized by low population densities, dispersed settlement patterns and

agriculture as the main economic activity.

Emerging issues

Fragmentation of agricultural land to uneconomic portions;

Lack of land use framework to guide and control subdivision of agricultural land.

3.5 Other major land uses

Moi Teaching and referral hospitals

Higher learning institutions ie Moi University, University of Eldoret, Catholic

University, Eldoret polytechnic, Rift valley training institute, African Institute and

other commercial colleges in town

The Kenya Pipeline Depot in west area

The transport corridors ( both rail and road)

Emerging issues

Linear development along the transport corridors hence leading to high cost of

providing trunk infrastructure and traffic problems etc

Increased demand for other land uses prompting demand for change/extension of

users e.g. guesthouses, petrol stations, lorry parks, commercial, student hostels etc

Emergence of commercial centres near learning institutions with university town

characteristics eg Sogomo, Kesses, Road block, and Annex etc

Emergence of numerous petrol stations along A104 corridor

High Demand for lorry parks and guesthouses

16

3.6 Infrastructural facilities/services

i. Health facilities: includes MTRH, district/sub districts hospitals, private health centres

and dispensaries

ii. Transport facilities: (roads, air and rail) which includes the A104 international trunk

roads, national trunk roads, Eldoret international airport, Eldoret air strip, Kenya-

Uganda railway and the pipeline

iii. Water and sanitation provided by ELDOWAS

Emerging issues

Unplanned, haphazard land development at the sub-urban fringe without adequate

infrastructure, transport, and other public services.

Limited network of roads, often narrow and poorly maintained;

Inadequate and poorly distributed health facilities across the county;

Traffic congestions in urban areas of the county;

3.7 Potentials Opportunities and Challenges

3.7.1 Opportunities/Strengths

Devolution of Governance and resources as provided for in the Constitution

Strategic location along regional, national and international road, rail and air transport

networks. i.e. Uganda railway, the A104 road, C36 Kisumu, Kapsabet, Kitale, Ravine

and Iten, Kabarnet roads. It is well served by telecommunication service providers.

An expansive and rich agricultural potential that supports dairy, cereals, horticulture

products which offer opportunities for economic activities.

Financial institutions including mainstream banks; Standard Chartered, Barclays,

National, Kenya Commercial, Co-operative, Equity, Family and microfinance

17

institutions have established branches in Eldoret town and other centres hence making

financial services accessible.

It is a Cosmopolitan region hence cultural diversity, diverse innovativeness, etc

Readily available human Labour skilled, semiskilled & unskilled, nurtured talent in

athletics,

Community resourcefulness and self-help capacity and capability with several CBOs,

NGOs and RBOs operating in different sectors in the County.

Diverse Natural resources and conducive climate “Best Climate in the world” for crop

and animal husbandry (Agriculture)

3.7.2 Challenges/Threats

Urban sprawl especially along the major road networks.

Rapid growth of population with an estimated annual growth rate of 8% exerting

pressure on land and infrastructural services/facilities.

Inadequate and poor condition of infrastructural facilities/services and housing

Uncoordinated sub-division of land leading to fragmentation of prime agricultural land

hence low agricultural productivity.

Urban decay due to lack of proper implementation of urban management policy

guidelines

Proliferation of informal settlements

Lack of a spatial framework to guide planning and development.

Inadequate capacity for planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation i.e.

resources, staff and facilities.

Low level of citizen awareness and participation in planning and management.

4.1.4 Proposed Minimum Standards

Subdivisions and Planning

Comprehensive residential subdivision schemes should adopt neighborhood concept e.g.

provision of commercial centre, public open spaces, schools, health facilities etc;

Truncations must be provided on all junctions as per the physical planning handbook

(half the width of the road);

Discourage ‘Y’ and ‘X’ but encourage ‘T’ junctions;

Cul de sacs and dead end streets should not exceed 60m in length and proper

measurements for cul de sac be observed which is half the width of the road;

Proper circulation and street/road hierarchy and connectivity should be observed during

subdivision;

The minimum road size in the county should be 9M and the existing 6M should be

expended to a minimum of 9M with exception of service lanes in commercial zones;

Observe morphology (shapes and orientation) of resultant plots, this must be of 90o

angles;

4% shall be surrendered for public use where land over 5 acres is being subdivided to

small units and change of user is involved within the jurisdiction of urban growth limits.

N/B roads are not included in this surrender;

Environmental sensitive areas shall be safeguarded and conserved hence no subdivision

shall be carried out in such areas.

Site planning and building standards

Site planning shall adhere to the stipulated setbacks and building lines in the matrix

annex 1. It will also be guided by standards provided in the physical planning

handbook;

Proposed building shall be designed as per the provisions in the building code. All

storied buildings above five (5) floors will be designed with a flat roof and a Heli pad

for evacuation purposes;

34

All public buildings shall provide access means for the physically challenged. This will

include all storied buildings in urban centres;

All building shall be installed with rain water harvesting and storage systems;

Applications to be considered for approval must be presented by a registered architect,

a registered Engineer ( where structural drawings are required);

Parking and greening areas must be presented in the building plan applications to be

considered during approval.

- Transition zone standards

Gated community concept will be the only acceptable concept in this zone during

subdivision;

Minimum plot sizes shall be 1 acre for owner occupier and ½ acre for gated

communities;

Areas in the transition zones where the prevailing land sizes are below the proposed

standards i.e. 0.1 Ha. or 0.05Ha. may be considered for registration. (Outspan,

Kipkorgot, Rehema, Sogomo, Baharini);

Minimum road sizes shall be 9M for a length not exceeding 100M;

Change users shall accompany such subdivisions;

Definition of the transition zone will be done during preparation of County Spatial Plan.

- Riparian reserve

All riparian reserves shall be 30M on either sides of the river;

Riparian reserves shall be included in all water bodies and environmental sensitive areas

No activities shall be carried out in the riparian zone except those that are of compatible

use e.g. recreational parks, conservation etc

CONCLUSION

This plan is a stop gap measure to address the above planning issues on the interim period

between 1 – 3 years before the preparation of the following plans:

1. County Spatial Development Plan;

2. Integrated Development Plan for primary and secondary towns;

3. Local Physical Development Plans for small and upcoming urban centres;

4. Subject / Action Plans;

5. Special Plans (Moi’s Bridge, Soy and Kipkarren).

Monitoring and evaluation should be done regularly to inform the relevance and acceptability of

the plan and provide details on the need of other supporting plans.
