JLUS PROCESS
(13 MONTHS)
• Task 1 & 2 – Project Kick-Off & Interviews
• Task 3 – Data Collection & Mapping
• Task 4, 5 & 6 – Land Use Compatibility
• Tasks 7 & 8 – Prepare Draft & Final Study
• Task 9 – Final Presentations
TASK 4A – Identify Existing Land Uses
Within Current Noise Contours and APZs
In order to identify locations where land uses or development
patterns may be incompatible between military uses and civilian
uses, a small-scale overview of current zoning and land use must
occur. The consultant will classify existing land uses within and
surrounding Fort Hood in terms of compatibility with military
operations. Existing conflicts will be reviewed from the aspect of
military operations and civilian concerns. Potential future conflicts
will be identified based on future land use plans and current zoning.
Development controls such as zoning ordinances, subdivision
regulations, building code regulations, and other land development
policies will be evaluated to determine their ability to reduce future
conflicts.
TASK 6A– Existing Regulations / Policies
The consultant will collect data from Bell County, Texas; Coryell
County, Texas; the City of Killeen, Texas; the City of Copperas Cove,
Texas; the City of Harker Heights, Texas; the City of Belton, Texas;
and the City of Gatesville, Texas; pertaining to existing land use
ordinances and regulations. The consultant will analyze existing
regulations and policies and determine how they may help to either
mitigate or prevent encroachment concerns identified in the
previous tasks. Existing coordination efforts between local
governments and Fort Hood during land development will be
identified and analyzed. Public involvement will be integrated to
gather input on the existing policies and coordination efforts.
