INTRODUCTION This Policy Guidebook has been prepared under the Arizona Military Regional Compatibility Project, which was conceived as a proactive statewide endeavor to convene the stakeholders around each military installation — the relevant jurisdictions, military personnel, landowners, and other interested parties — to address land use compatibility issues. Arizona is home to a network of United States military airports, installations, and ancillary facilities that include Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Luke Air Force Base, Yuma Proving Ground and Yuma Marine Air Corps Station, Fort Huachuca, and the Barry M. Goldwater Range (BMGR) Complex (see Figure 1-1). As issues of growth and development have moved to the forefront in many parts of Arizona, the installations and jurisdictions where the installations are located play key roles in addressing compatibility. Through the statewide Compatibility Project, the State endeavors to provide the tools to address land use conflicts that might impact the ability of each facility to conduct its mission, and to ensure land use compatibility around active military facilities. Development of incompatible land uses in the vicinity of Arizona’s military facilities constrains their ability to perform current and future missions. These incompatible uses expose people to safety and noise effects ranging from nuisance to physical harm. In response to these issues in the vicinity of air bases, State legislation amending Title 28, Article 7, Airport Zoning & Regulation (ARS §28-8480, §28-8481, and §28-8482) mandated that areas within high-noise or accident potential zones be addressed in municipal general plans and county comprehensive plans and required that land development within the high-noise or accident potential zones be compatible with military airport operations. The State of Arizona, through amendments to existing law, including ARS §9-461.05, §9-461.06, §9-462.04, §11-806, §11- 821, §11-824 and §11-826 enacted Growing Smarter and Growing Smarter Plus measures that address growth and land development issues through changes in community planning and rezoning processes. JULY 2006 1-1 ARIZONA MILITARY REGIONAL COMPATIBILIITY PROJECT POLICY GUIDEBOOK CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION Figure 1-1: Military Lands in Arizona JULY 2006 1-2 ARIZONA MILITARY REGIONAL COMPATIBILIITY PROJECT POLICY GUIDEBOOK CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION These measures require political jurisdictions with property within territory in the vicinity of a military airport, as defined in ARS §28-8461, to include consideration of military airport operations in their General Plans and Comprehensive Plans, and to allow an opportunity for official comment by the military airport officials on the General Plans. The Growing Smarter statute requires that plans provide for a rational pattern of land development and an extensive public participation program. Compliance with these Growing Smarter and Growing Smarter Plus objectives serves as a key guiding principle for the overall Arizona Military Regional Compatibility Project. In 1973, the U.S. Department of Defense created the Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ) Program. The Installation Compatible Use Zone (ICUZ) Program was created post-1980. These programs were created to assist communities around military installations in planning for compatible land use. Elements from these national programs were also considered in developing the recommendations in this Guidebook. The Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) program was created by the Department of Defense (DoD) in 1985 to further address problems of urban encroachment through a process of joint planning activities involving civilian and military installation representatives. Nationwide, the JLUS program, administered by the DoD’s Office of Economic Adjustment (OEA), has involved over 70 bases with their surrounding communities in cooperative land use planning. The Arizona Department of Commerce (ADOC) was awarded a grant from OEA in 2002 to prepare Joint Land Use Studies for Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Luke Auxiliary Field #1 and Barry M. Goldwater Range under the Arizona Military Regional Compatibility Project (AMRCP). This partnering between ADOC and OEA built upon the AMRPC’s previous experience in preparing the Western Maricopa County / Luke Air Force Base Regional Compatibility Plan, which was completed in 2003. The adoption of the three Joint Land Use Studies and the Western Maricopa County / Luke Air Force Base Regional Compatibility Plan by the local jurisdictions (municipalities and counties) surrounding each of the installations was an important step in achieving land use compatibility to support and protect the missions of the State’s military installations. JULY 2006 1-3 ARIZONA MILITARY REGIONAL COMPATIBILIITY PROJECT POLICY GUIDEBOOK CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1 PURPOSE OF THE POLICY GUIDEBOOK The purpose of the Policy Guidebook is to facilitate the implementation of compatible land uses around military installations through a cooperative program that includes the local jurisdictions, who have the authority and responsibility to implement compatible land use planning and regulation, the military installations, and other interested and affected parties, including institutions, corporations, and individuals. The challenge for each community is to protect the installation’s mission and its economic benefits while ensuring the economic diversity and viability of the community through facilitating development in ways that are compatible with the installation’s mission. To accomplish this, the Policy Guidebook provides information related to issues of land use compatibility and recommends policies and practices based upon sound compatibility criteria and experience in achieving compatibility in various contexts. 1.2 GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR COMPATIBILITY PLANNING The Arizona Military Regional Compatibility Project defined the following guiding principles for the compatibility planning process. These principles have become a foundation of the Policy Guidebook and apply to each element and phase of the compatibility process. • Create feasible and sustainable solutions that are consistent with Arizona’s compatibility
