Implementation Plan Guidelines
The key to a successful plan is balancing the different needs of all involved
stakeholders. To produce a balanced plan, several guidelines were used as
the basis for strategy development. These guidelines included:
Recommended strategies must not result in a taking of property
value as defined by state law.
In some cases, the recommended strategies can only be
implemented with new enabling legislation.
6.3
In compatibility planning, the terms “Military Compatibility Area” (MCA) and
Military Awareness Area (MAA) are used to formally designate geographic
areas where military operations may impact local communities, and
conversely, where local activities may affect the military’s ability to carry out
its mission. The MCA and MAA are designated to accomplish the following:
In order to minimize regulation, many of the strategies are only
recommended within the certain geographic area for which the
issue they address occurs (e.g. within the noise contours), instead of
recommended for the whole JLUS Study Area.
Similar to other planning processes that include numerous
stakeholders, the challenge is to create a solution or strategy that
meets the needs of all parties. In lieu of eliminating strategies that
do not have 100 percent buy‐in from all stakeholders, it was
determined that the solution / strategy may result in the creation of
multiple strategies that address the same issue but tailored to
individual circumstances.
Since this JLUS is meant to be a “living document”, and state and
federal regulations are subject to change, before implementing one
of the suggested strategies included in the Implementation Plan,
the implementing jurisdiction or party should ensure there is no
conflict between the strategy and any existing state or federal law.
Military Compatibility and Awareness
Areas
Promote an orderly transition between community and military
land uses so that land uses remain compatible.
Protect public health, safety, and welfare.
Maintain operational capabilities of military installations.
Promote an awareness of the size and scope of military training
areas to protect areas separate from the actual military installation
(e.g., critical air space) used for training purposes.
Establish compatibility requirements within the designated area,
such as requirements for notification of d evelopment to the
military.
The Military Compatibility Area Overlay District (MCAOD) is a zoning
technique that ensures the JLUS strategies are applied to the appropriate areas,
and that locations deemed not subject to a specific compatibility issue are
not adversely impacted by regulations or policies inappropriate for their
location or circumstance. The MCAOD encompasses all the MCAs and its
geographic boundary is defined by the largest MCA boundary. The MCAOD
should be used by the City of Goldsboro and Wayne County to address ways
to prevent or mitigate compatibility issues. For the purpose of this
JLUS Implementation Plan, there is one MCAOD for the Seymour Johnson
AFB Study Area depicted on Figure 21.
