There are three types of planning tools that are evaluated: permanent, semi‐
permanent, and conditional. Permanent planning tools include acquisition
programs, either fee simple purchase of property or the purchase of
development rights. Semi‐permanent tools include regulations such as zoning
or adopted legislation. Examples of conditional tools include comprehensive
plans, memorandums of understanding, intergovernmental agreements, and
other policy documents that can be modified.
An overview of relevant federal, state, and local plans and regional planning
entities is included.

Federal Plans and Programs
Federal policy, laws, and programs have evolved to impact almost every
aspect of land use. A broad range of federal plans, programs, and actions
impact Keesler AFB both directly and indirectly; however, depending on the
subject area, opportunities for vertical integration and cross jurisdictional
collaboration vary widely. Federal programs and policies are carried out by
the various arms of the federal government, although, in some cases these
tools also authorize state, county, regional or local governmental agencies to
implement related policies, programs and regulations.
