  1. UPDATE February 8, 2005

  2. PRESENTATION OBJECTIVES • Quick Overview • Definition of Study Area • Joint Land Use Study (JLUS - Dept. of Commerce-May 2003) • Three Issues of Concern • Fort Bragg Small Area Study Review (FBSAS) • a. Goals • b. Land Use Classifications & Characteristics • c. Action Plan • 3. “County Conservation Incentive Program” DRAFT

  3. Spring Lake Study Area: 1 Mile Buffer Fayetteville Annexation Ft. Bragg DRAFT

  4. JLUS RECOMMENDATIONS General Recommendation A: Real Estate Disclosure Statements General Recommendation B: Urban Development (2,3,4 & 5) General Recommendation D: Military Actions General Recommendation E: Aircraft Low-Level Routes and Low Altitude Tactical Navigation Area General Recommendation F: Transportation Policies General Recommendation G: Urban Light Pollution General Recommendation H: Building Code Revisions General Recommendation I: Broadcasting, Telecom, and other Towers General Recommendation J: Recreation Multi-Use Trail Footnote : General Recommendation B Item # 1 & General Recommendation C of the Joint Land Use Study is not recommended. DRAFT

  5. FBSAS Changes to JLUS (May 2003) Critical (4384 Acres) New Land Use Designation I-Mile Buffer: Under Study Important (1141 Acres) LDD (427 Acres) Parcels Removed Protected (704 Acres) Fort Bragg Joint Land Use Study (May 2003): Recommendations DRAFT

  6. ISSUES OF CONCERN • Designated one dwelling unit per 10 Acres in both Critical & Important Areas • Prohibition of new sewer and water lines in both Critical & Important Areas • Low Density Development with one dwelling unit Per three Acres DRAFT

  7. Planning Board Meeting (May 2004) • Planning Board meeting over 200 attended • Over 900 notices went out to property owners DRAFT

  8. DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES Subdivision Activity Subdivision Activity & Zoning Case DRAFT

  9. Small Subdivision (2 Lots) • Woodbridge Subdivision • Has over 100 lots subdivided • Expending North and West • Phase Development • Subdivision • 268 parcels • Submitted and approved 1997 Subdivisions Activity DRAFT

  10. RR to R10 Zoning Case: Approved R15 R10 DRAFT

  11. Red Cockaded Woodpecker Outer Loop NATURAL & PHYSICAL FACTORS Proposed Land Use One Mile Buffer NAPZ Contours Fort Bragg DRAFT

  12. GOALS • Protect the mission & operational needs of the Military. • Provide a simple user friendly Plan. • Provide property owners with a number of options to use their land • or receive fair compensation. • 4. Protect future property owners from known factors • that may impact their quality of life (i.e. potential for noise, • potential for aircraft crashes, & low flying aircraft by added building • code & development standards, noise disclosure statement, and • location outside of potential crash zones). • Protect endangered species, flora & fauna, and the long leaf pine • eco-system. • 6. Keep as much property as possible on the County Tax Records. DRAFT

  13. Four Land Use Classifications DRAFT

  14. LAND USE CLASSIFICATIONS • Military Mission and Operational Critical Areas • 2. Military Noise Sensitive Areas • 3. Important Areas • 4. Urban Areas DRAFT

  15. Proposed Land Use Critical Operation & Mission Noise Sensitive Important Urban LAND USE CLASSIFICATIONS MAP DRAFT

  16. LAND USE CLASSIFICATIONS • Mission & Operational Critical (Accident Potential Zones) • Recommended Guidelines • Acquisition- by public or non profit organization • Fee Simple • Conservation Easement • Long-term lease by public or non profit organization • Leave natural and take advantage of proposed “County Conservation Incentive Program” • Develop property with select non-residential uses • Disclosure statement required on all deeds and plats • Develop in accordance with height restrictions • Land Use-Agricultural (no large scale swine or poultry operations) passive parks and recreation, prefer select non- residential uses (no people intensive, hazardous materials or explosives). DRAFT

  17. Proposed Land Use Critical Operation & Mission Noise Sensitive Important Urban North Mission & Operational Critical Vass Rd Lillington Hwy DRAFT

  18. LAND USE CLASSIFICATIONS • Military Noise Sensitive Areas(Located in 65 decibels or higher noise contour around airports and within the artillery blast area (62 decibels or higher) • Recommended Guidelines • Develop residentially at two units per acre and adhere to stricter building code and the reasonable protection of natural vegetative cover. • Disclosure statement required on all deeds and plats • Develop in accordance with height restrictions • Land Use- Agricultural (no large scale swine or poultry operations), active or passive parks and recreation facilities, prefer select non- residential uses.

  22. LAND USE CLASSIFICATIONS • Important Areas(Large undeveloped areas important for the protection of the flora and fauna, endangered species, including the Red Cockaded Woodpecker, the long leaf pine eco-system and other environmental concerns that relate to the Military’s operational needs) • Recommended Guidelines • Acquisition- by public or non profit organization • Fee Simple • Conservation Easement • Long-term lease by public or non profit organization • Leave natural and use proposed “County Conservation Incentive Program” • Develop traditionally • Create alternative development to include open space subdivisions • Develop in accordance with height restrictions • Land Use- Agricultural (no large scale swine or poultry operations) open space, natural areas, passive parks, recreation, open space subdivisions, & select non-residential uses.

  27. LAND USE CLASSIFICATIONS • Urban Land(Areas located within the one-mile buffer area that is already developed or undeveloped areas experiencing little impact from Military operations). • Recommended Guidelines • Develop with current zoning or land use plan • Disclosure statement required on all deeds and plats • Encourage preservation of natural vegetation • Provide incentives for open space subdivisions • Land Use- Current agricultural uses (no large scale swine or poultry operations) active or passive parks and recreation, and urban development in accordance with current zoning or the land use plans.
