2 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

3 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.

4 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.
