  1. WELCOME! Public Informational Meeting September, 2003 Davis-Monthan Air Force Base/TucsonJoint Land Use Study

  2. BACKGROUND Davis-Monthan Air Force Base/TucsonJoint Land Use Study

  3. THE ARIZONA MILITARY REGIONAL COMPATIBILITY PROJECT • Statewide endeavor – airports, installations, and the Goldwater Range • Department of Defense JLUS grant • Western Maricopa County/Luke AFB is phase one, Davis-Monthan AFB/Tucson and others are phase two • State’s role as convener to engage all parties and cross jurisdictional boundaries

  4. PRIMARY PROJECT OBJECTIVE “This Project is an undertaking of statewide impact designed to find resolutions to land use compatibility and encroachment issues through collaborative effort and strong implementation.”

  5. HISTORICAL TIMELINE 1995 - Military Airport Preservation Committee, 1988 Contours 2000 - Legislation (SB 1514) 2001 - Legislation (SB 1525 & 1120) 2002 - Aviation Advisory Council 2002 - Legislation (SB 1393) 2002 - Economic Impact Study

  6. WHO IS INVOLVED? • State of Arizona, Department of Commerce • Department of Defense, Office of Economic Adjustment • City of Tucson and Pima County • Davis-Monthan Air Force Base • Policy Advisory Committee (PAC) • Consultant Team (Parsons) • Stakeholders and Public

  7. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSEOFFICE OF ECONOMIC ADJUSTMENT JOINTLANDUSESTUDY PROGRAM Davis-Monthan Air Force Base/TucsonJoint Land Use Study

  8. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSEOFFICE OF ECONOMIC ADJUSTMENT ENCROACHMENT • Communities continue to grow near and around military bases, exposing more people to safety and other concerns. • This encroachment limits the ability to train and maintain operational readiness. • DOD wants to address this issue now, while reasonable options exist to cure existing problems and prevent future incompatible development.

  9. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSEOFFICE OF ECONOMIC ADJUSTMENT WHAT IS A JLUS? • A process for cooperative land use planning effort between military installations and the surrounding communities. • It is designed to promote community growth and development that is compatible with the mission of the military installation. • A partnership between Davis-Monthan AFB and the community.

  10. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSEOFFICE OF ECONOMIC ADJUSTMENT JLUS MAY RECOMMEND • Ways Base can reduce impacts. • Ways Community can encourage compatible land use and limit development intensity where appropriate.

  13. LAND USE COMPATIBILITY Davis-Monthan Air Force Base/TucsonJoint Land Use Study

  14. COMPATIBILITY CRITERIA • Avoid concentrations of people exposed to noise and safety hazards • Noise Criteria: • Limit exposure of people and noise-sensitive activities to high noise levels • Safety Criteria: • Limit concentrations of people and safety- sensitive activities in areas of highest probable accident impact

  15. NOISE CRITERIA • Typical Background Sound Levels • Suburban Residential Neighborhood – 35 to 45 db • Office (Interior) – 40 to 50 db • Traffic – 70 to 85 db • Normal Conversation – 60 db

  16. NOISE CRITERIA • Noise Sensitive Activities • Residences and places where people normally sleep, such as hospitals and hotels • Institutional land uses such as schools, libraries, and churches where it is important to avoid interference with such activities as speech, meditation, and concentration on reading material • Uses where quiet is important, such as concert halls, monuments, and museums • Outdoor activities where conversation or quiet is important

  17. NOISE CRITERIA • Noise Sensitive Activities • Residences and places where people normally sleep, such as hospitals and hotels • Institutional land uses such as schools, libraries, and churches where it is important to avoid interference with such activities as speech, meditation, and concentration on reading material • Uses where quiet is important, such as concert halls, monuments, and museums • Outdoor activities where conversation or quiet is important

  18. NOISE CRITERIA • New 2003 Noise Contours defined by Air Force • Define Noise Zones up to the 65 ldn contour • Under existing State Law, most recent Noise Contours are to be used to define Noise Zones

  19. NOISE CRITERIA • Use “Hypothetical” contours to reflect potential change in aircraft type • Define Noise Zones up to the 65 ldn contour • Contours would remain static

  20. SAFETY CRITERIA • Risk • The potential for realization of unwanted, adverse consequences to human life, health, property, or the environment; estimation of risk is usually based on the expected value of the conditional probability of the event occurring times the consequence of the event given that it has occurred. Source: The Society for Risk Analysis, Risk Glossary

  21. SAFETY CRITERIA • In Areas of Most Likely Accident Impact • Limit Concentrations of People • Residences and similar uses where people reside, such as hospitals and hotels • Employment locations with high density (e.g. offices) • Places where people may gather in large numbers (e.g. shopping centers, auditoriums, recreation areas) • Avoid Uses with Special Safety Considerations • Uses involving hazardous materials or explosives • Critical public health and safety uses (e.g. hospitals, fire stations, police communication facilities)

  22. SAFETY CRITERIA • Approach-Departure Corridor – the “Paddle” defined from end of runway out 50,000 feet • City’s Interim Regulations reflect split in Paddle at 30,000 feet.

  23. SAFETY CRITERIA • Allow low-intensity non-residential uses in APZs and Northern part of the Paddle • Graduated density with longitudinal distance from runway end (20 to 30 people per acre) • Graduated density (up to 40 people per acre) and additional uses, such as retail and offices with horizontal distance from centerline

  24. NEXT STEPS Davis-Monthan Air Force Base/TucsonJoint Land Use Study

  25. NEXT STEPS • Public Review Input • Implementation Strategies • Final Study Report • Begin Implementation • Ongoing Coordination
