Agricultural Land reserved for residential

The term "reserved for residential" does not change the nature of the land from agricultural to non-agricultural. The term simply reflects the intended use. It does not denote that the property has already been reclassified as residential, because the phrase reserved for residential is not a land classification category.
The exclusive jurisdiction to classify and identify landholdings for coverage under CARP is reposed in the DAR Secretary. The matter of CARP coverage, like the instant case for application for exemption, is strictly part of the administrative implementation of the CARP, a matter well within the competence of the DAR Secretary (Alangilan Realty and Development Corporation v. Office of the President, et al, G.R. No. 180471. March 26, 2010).
