Army Master Planning: An Analysis of Policy and Procedures

Abstract

A ~OCT 2 5 19881This report contains a proposed comprehensive land use 0 planning process for Army installations, along with a broad review of the theories, techniques, and history of master planning in general and an analysis of Army master planning. It addresses the following questions: (1) What tools are available to implement land use planning? (2) How does (should) the Army master planning process work? (3) Which regulations affect Army master planning? (4) What type of comprehensive land use planning implementation process will meet Army installations' needs, given the findings from the previous three questions?Based on the findings from the questions, the report has three recommendations. 1.Create a standard installation land use planning process, incorporating recent revisions to Army Regulation (AR) 210-20, Master Planning for Army Installations, and replacing conflicting or obsolete standards with state-of-theart planning techniques.2. Assemble references from the many related ARs and guidance documents into one users' guide, to be used as a single reference for installation master planners and MACOM reviewers. An appendix includes a preliminary effort to list the applicable regulations. 3.At some future time, codify the related ARs into a subject-indexed code that reflects that standard land use planning process.

A Coasian boundary inquiry on zoning and property rights: Lot and zone boundaries and transaction costs

“…The same is true of Micelli and Faggiani's (2001) definition, which, like that of Wheeler, Fittipaldi, Forrest, and Marlatt (1988); Lai (1999); and Stark County (2005) mentioned above, also specified the internalization of externalities as an intention:…”

“…Some definitions of zoning adopted in academic studies that fall within the second type of definition include those by Wheeler, Fittipaldi, Forrest, and Marlatt (1988); Stoddard (1987); Ko (2009); and Micelli and Faggiani (2001).…”

“…The definition of zoning by Wheeler, Fittipaldi, Forrest, and Marlatt (1988) is typical of the second type of definition:…”

“…As its authors stated, that act was intended to: "lessen congestion in the streets; to secure safety from fire, panic, and other dangers; to promote health and general welfare; to provide adequate light and air; to prevent the overcrowding of land; to avoid undue concentration of population..." The fundamental premise of zoning is that uses which are incompatible with each other, for whatever reason, should be separated to avoid damages to each use from that incompatibility. The best example of conventional zoning is an official zoning map which covers the entire…Page 9 (Wheeler, Fittipaldi, Forrest, andMarlatt 1988: p.1988, italics authors').…”
