Program Summary
Military installations affect adjacent communities both positively and negatively. On the positive, there are jobs and income. Some of the negative impacts are potential noise, safety, smoke, dust and other effects from training and military operations. Conversely, adjacent communities effect the military operations mostly through urbanization and the development of land adjacent to the base.
The Department of Defense recognized that these problems exist in Santa Rosa County and must be overcome and initiated the Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) Program. JLUS is a cooperative land use planning effort between the local government and the military base. Funding of this project is also a joint effort between the Department of Defense and Santa Rosa County.
Study Area
The area for the JLUS for Santa Rosa County incorporates eight separate and distinct locations: Peter Prince Field; NAS Whiting Field North and South; and the Navy Outlying Landing Fields (NOLFs) Spencer, Harold, Santa Rosa, Choctaw, Holley and Pace. The study boundary encompasses those areas specifically designated as part of Accident Potential Zones or Noise Contours surrounding these installations.
Work Product
This project resulted in a report that identified the existing environment in the study area, any current conflicts between land uses and air operations, and potential future impacts to and from air operations along with GIS-based maps of current and future Accident Potential Zones and Noise Zones. The report will also presented strategies to minimize current or future problems, encourage compatible future development, and prevent incompatible future development. Many of which have been implemented.
