SYNTHESIS OF NATURAL FACTORS

Analyzing the natural factors in the municipality, the following stand out for their restrictive nature:

-Areas with slopes greater than 15% are restrictive to urbanization. In the same category, the hilltops must be preserved from any construction.

-Riverbeds and bodies of water, whether perennial or seasonal, represent a constraint to urban development. Their federal servitude must be respected to prevent risks, and their contamination should be avoided.

-Regosol and Fluvisol soils, classified as loose granular soils, pose constraints to urban development due to their lack of stability, which can cause damage to buildings constructed on them.

-Agricultural areas classified as having very intense potential use should be preserved, aiming to avoid urban growth over them.

-Forested areas and deciduous lowland jungle should be preserved, preventing human settlements and the expansion of agricultural and livestock activities from reducing their extent.

-Areas occupied by agave plantations that make up the so-called core zone, as well as their buffer zone, should be conserved as much as possible. Urban growth should be controlled due to their landscape and heritage value, both at the local and national level.
