There are 2,695 parcels within the undeveloped land concern area totaling approximately 5,400 acres , of which 270 parcels or approximately 3,000 acres are identified as exclusionary land as they are located within the 100‐year floodplain . Of the undeveloped parcels remaining ( not in the floodplain ), the largest parcel is located in the southern approach‐departure clearance surface of Maxwell AFB ’ s landing zone and is approximately 187.67 acres .
There are discussions for large‐scale proposed developments to focus on taking advantage of the region ’ s manufacturing capabilities including complexes that support the automotive manufacturing and support plants , aerospace industries , and other high technological industries . These opportunities have been identified as ideal in the rural portions of the city to the south and southeast of Maxwell AFB . However as illustrated on the map , these areas are also impacted by aviation operations — low altitude aircraft , noise , and potentially vibrations . This could result in incompatible development and potentially loss of economic opportunity .
Compatibility Assessment There are no tools that address this issue . Neither the City of Montgomery ’ s Zoning Ordinance nor SmartCode reflect military compatibility guidelines and do not identify specific areas where military compatible land uses would be ideal and would be an incompatible land use for both the military and community .
Findings
• Local tools do not reflect military compatible land use guidelines .
