CHAPTER 1INTRODUCTION

1-1. PurposeMaster planning is a continuous analytical process whichinvolves evaluation of factors affecting the present andfuture physical development of an installation. Thisevaluation forms the basis for determination of developmentobjectives and planning proposals to solve current problemsand meet future needs. Each step or element of the processbuilds upon the preceding step, providing a logical frame-work for the planning effort. The product of this process isa series of interrelated documents which together comprisean installation Master Plan. One of these documents is theMaster Plan Report The Master Plan Report provides aconcise, comprehensive definition of planning proposals,as well as a record of the analytical process and rationaleby which these proposals were developed. The purpose ofthis manual is to provide the appropriate guidance toprepare the Master Plan Report.

1-2. ScopeThe criteria and guidance in this manual apply to thepreparation of Master Plan Reports for the U.S. ArmyInstallations in the United States. its territories andpossessions. and overseas.

1-3. Components of an installationmaster plan

a. The series of documents which together comprisethe Installation Master Plan form an official statement

a. The series of documents which together comprisethe Installation Master Plan form an official statement ofan installation’s long-range plans. These documents are asource of information on existing conditions and require-ments for individual facilities and activities at an installation(see AR 2 10-20). A brief description of each document ispresented below to establish the position of the MasterPlan Report in relationship to these other planningdocuments.

(1) Existing Condition Maps provide accurateand current information about the layout and physicalconditions of the installation and are a primary source ofinformation for the Master Plan Report

(2) The Master Plan Report is a written record ofexisting operational and environmental conditions at theinstallation and the planning rationale used to determinethe installation’s long-range goals and objectives. The

primary products of the Master Plan Report are LandUse. Circulation and Utility Semite Plans which accommo-date an installations existing and long-range operationalrequirements. The planning process used to prepare theMaster Plan Report is summarized on figure 1-1. Thisprocess involves data collection and analysis which leadsto development of concept plans and finally to definitionof long-range plans for the physical development of theinstallation. The Master Plan Report draws informationfrom previously prepared Master Plan documents. and inturn provides the rationale and framework for preparationof other planning studies and documents. Chapters 2through 4 of this manual describe the process to befollowed in preparing the Master Plan Report.

(3) The Tabulation of Existing and RequiredFacilities (TERF) also serves as a planning aid inpreparation of the Master Plan Report, The TERF is aninventory of existing and long-range facility requirementscorresponding to the installation’s mission and reflected inthe Future Development Plans.

(4) Future Development Plans are a series ofstandard size sheets (28 X 40 inches between trim lines)prepared in accordance with TB ENG 353. These plansgraphically portray the installation’s peacetime development in a logical and efficient manner. The informationshown supports the long-range goals and objectives of theMaster Plan Report. Future Development Plans include,but are not limited to

- Regional Area.- Installation Land Use.- Building Area Land Use.- Site Map.- Tree Cover.- Roads and Railroads.

The Future Development Site Map shows the location ofall existing and required facilities in accordance with theland use recommendations of the Master Plan ReportChapter 6 describes the procedure to be followed inpreparing the Future Development Site Map based uponplanning proposals of the Master Plan Report.

(5) The Project Phasing Map depicts the instal-lation’s five- year construction program in relation to anoverall future facilities’ site plan. It is based on the Future

Development Plans.Project Phasing Map

The procedure for preparing theis described in chapter 7.

b. Contributing plans which address specific issuesrelated to an installation’s future development are some-times required. Studies of this nature generally providegreater detail and require a more concentrated analysis ofa particular subject. Though prepared separately fromother Master Plan documents. contributing plans dobecome part of the Installation Master Plan. Examples ofcontributing plans include:

- Installation Compatibility Use Zone ( ICUZ) noisestudies.

- Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC)studies.

– Visual enhancement studies.- Fish and wildlife management plans.- Historic preservation plans.

Certain contributing plans are required by AR 210-20.Others may be prepared in response to needs defined bythe installation or the Major Army Command (MACOM).Guidance for preparation of these special plans is generallyprovided by a technical manual or bulletin addressing thatspecific topic. However. the process which is followed issimilar to the master planning process described in thismanual. Review of recommendations from previouslyprepared special studies and plans will identify correctiveactions and additional facilities needed to meet futuredevelopment requirements. Pertinent recommendationsfrom these plans should be incorporated in the Master

Plan Report. In developing the Master Plan Report. a 210-20 to prepare the Master Plan Report- The Masterpotential need for one or more such special studies maybe Plan Report is prepared in a logical series of steps and theidentified. When applicable. a brief description of this following chapters of this manual describe these steps inneed and the issue to be addressed should be included in a the order in which they are usually taken.

Report itself. the chapters of this manual. and the planning1-4. Use of this manual process.

b. As figure 1-2 illustrates. the process begins withdata collection and analysis. Data are collected andstudied to determine existing operational and physicalconditions and to identify on-and off-post planning limi-tations. These data are then evaluated to determine theirpotential influence on the installation-s future developmentChapter 2 describes what data are needed and how theyare analyzed. Following data collection and analysis. aConcept Plan is developed as described in chapter 3. TheConcept Plan provides a theoretical framework towardwhich installation planning efforts should be directed. TheConcept Plan is then further refined to create the long-range plan for overall installation development. The long-range plan includes as a minimum Land Use. Circulation.and Utility Service Plans. Chapter 4 describes how theseplans are developed to address specific areas on the

installation while still retaining the essential functionaland spatial relationships of the Concept Plan. Potentialimpacts resulting from future installation development areidentified in the environmental assessment section of theMaster Plan Report. Chapter 5 describes how this asess-ment section of the Master Plan Report. Chapter 5describes how this assessment is based on planningproposals on an installation-wide basis. rather than on individual. site-specific projects.

c. Chapters 6 and 7 provide guidance for the preparationof the Future Development Site Map and the ProjectPhasing Map. respectively. As figure 1-2 indicates. theFuture Development Site Map and the Project Phasing Map are not included in the Master Plan Report itself.However. these two elements are necessary steps tobridge the gap between the plan documented in the Master Plan Report and individual site development plans.

CHAPTER 2DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS

Section L GENERAL PROCEDURES

2-1. ProcessData collection and analysis are sequential steps. Three

. major types of data are collected and analyzed off-postdata on-post data, and mission requirements. The processbegins with an initial compilation of information coveringa broad range of conditions. Analysis of this informationidentifies specific needs and significant constraints tomeeting those needs. These opposing factors-needs andconstraints— are then further analyzed to identify potentialimprovements which are responsive to both. For a propersynthesis to occur. data collection and analysis must bethorough.

2-2. Data gathering methodsa. Collection of data about existing and projected

conditions at an installation is the initial step of theplanning process and becomes the foundation forsubsequent steps. Therefore, while data collection must bethorough and accurate, emphasis should be placed onobtaining information which is relevant to theinstallation’s future operation and development.

b. Sections II and 111 below indicate initial datasources. Also, sources used for previously prepared plansand related documents will provide data. Review of initialdata sources can result in identification of other sources ofinformation to supplement or replace data items in theoriginal requirement listings. Additional sources ofinformation discovered during the data collection processmay be important in the overall planning process.

c. Potential data sources which should be investigatedinclude the previous Master Plan Report for the installationand other installation plans and studies dealing withrelated areas such as utilities, traffic, and environmentalconditions. The Basic Information Maps prepared foreach installation also provide initial information on theexisting physical environment at the installation. Wheredata are not current, they still may provide a basis forcomparison with current information to establish trends.

d. To be useful throughout the planning process.information must be properly compiled and organized sothat comparisons can be made between related items.Data should be accessible to both present and futureusers. with sources and applicability clearly recorded.The format in which information is organized shouldallow data items to be easily updated to reflect changed

conditions.e. The data will provide a permanent record of the

information on which the plan is based. Therefore, a copyof all maps and other documents obtained from all sourcesshould be retained with notations of the source and dateprepared. Where appropriate. a document should beaccompanied by a memorandum describing any particularapplication or limitation of the data which it contains. Foreach on-post or off-post agency contacted. a file memo-randum should identify the agent y contacted and summarizethe results of the contact.

f. Planning data can be presentcd in one of severalformats and information from several sources can beorganized in one data format for comparative purposes.Data on physical conditions can be recorded on a series ofmaps or overlays. These maps should be prepared with aconsistent geographic base. either at the vicinity orinstallation level. Numeric information. particularlycomparative data. should be recorded in tables or chartswherever possible. The data presented in these graphicand tabular materials will become part of the workingdocuments for the analysis and evaluation of on-and off-post conditions.

2-3. Procedures for data analysisa. Data analysis will determine the significance and

impact of existing and projected conditions on futuredevelopment at the installation. Initially, the evaluationwill encompass a broad range of conditions. However. theprocess of evaluation will result in identification of thoseparticular conditions which are of greatest concern to theinstallation in terms of development direction. The evalu-ation process will further define how those conditionsaffect future development and how improvements can bemade to meet future needs.

b. The process for each of the data areas will follow a sequence leading from an initial review of collected data toa description of a potential response to identified problemsor needs. The evaluation process includes the followingsteps:

— Review of information on existing conditions.- Comparison of data with evaluation criteria.- Definition of significant existing problems identified

from comparison of existing conditions to evaluation2-1

2-$. Regional transportation systemIdentifying the major characteristics of vehicular, rail, air.and water facilities which serve or support the installationprovides a basis for evaluating limitations or deficienciesin the system which affect the operation and mission of theinstallation. The analysis should focus on elements of thesystem which link the installation to major populationcenters. other regional facilities. and the national trans-portation system. Major transportation elements shouldbe illustrated in a graphic, perhaps as part of the RegionalSetting exhibit or Vicinity Map as shown in figures 2-1and 2-2.

a. Road network. The characteristics and capacity ofthe road network which provides access to the installationfor both military and civilian traffic should be analyzed.The accessibility of the installation should be considered,particularly in relation to all segments of the NationalDefense Highway System in the region, including distanceand route to the nearest interchange, clearance or capacityproblems, and alternate routes. The location of markedFederal or State routes in the vicinity should be noted,along with major county roads and other roads providingdirect access to the installation from major populationcenters and other Federal installations. Existing andprojected traffic volumes on these roads should be deter-mined to establish the capacity of the road network toserve the installation along with the adequacy of lane widthand traffic control measures at installation access points.Finally, the effect of any programmed or planned improve-ments on the road network should be evaluated.

b. Rail service and terminals. The availability offacilities, service. and carriers should be determined.Elements to consider include: the location of the major railline serving the installation. the carrier operating the line,and the number of tracks on the line; the number of daily orweekly scheduled trains on the major line: and any knownload limits and condition of lines providing access to theinstallation.

The capability of regional airports toserve the installation should be assessed- Potential limitationson or conflicts with on-post operations can be identified byconsidering location. ownership, and type of airportswithin the region. indicating the largest aircraft handled byeach: the flight path location and use in the installationvicinity; the location and frequency of scheduled airlineservice and availability of air freight or parcel service: andthe regional airspace environment, including air trafficcontrol locations. airways. terminal control areas. andairport traffic areas relating these two installation operations.

d. Water terminal. The availability of water terminalfacilities to the installation should be evaluated. Theevaluations should include consideration of the location ofany barge or deep water terminal facilities in the region.the number of barges or ships accommodated, existing orprojected usage levels, and known limitations of any cargo-handling facilities.

e. Public transportation. The availability of and levelof service provided by public transportation from theinstallation to population centers should also be considered.Elements to identify include peak and off-hour transitroutes. taxi service. and shuttle and limousine service

2-7. Socioeconomic conditionsAlthough off-post population and economic conditionscan affect the installation’s operation and personnel. adetailed socioeconomic analysis of the region is notrequired. Rather, a broad evaluation of key socioeconomiccharacteristics and trends provides an adequate basis foridentifying potential areas of impact.

a. Population. Population trends and growth patternswhich should be examined include.

- Existing and projected population and projectedpopulation growth rates within jurisdictions (counties.townships. municipalities) in the vicinity of the installation.

- Significant differences in growth rates among thejurisdictions or between a jurisdiction and the region as awhole.

- Significant deviation from national averages inmedian age. household size. percentage of elderly. orchildren of school age.

- Projected changes in population characteristics forthe region or adjacent jurisdictions.

b. Economy. Factors establishing the relationshipbetween the installation and the regional economy include:

- The existing and projected number of persons in thecivilian labor force in the region and vicinity.

2-8. Community land use andplanningPatterns of existing and projected land use in the vicinityof the installation may have a significant impact on futuredevelopment of the installation. Therefore, existing andproposed land use patterns should be identified. Localland use controls in the vicinity of the installation deter-mine whether development will be compatible with theinstallations activities. For agencies whose planningactivities affect the installation, the status of adoptedplans should be determined and the effect of these plans onthe installation then should be evaluated

a. Existing and proposed land use.(1) Identify any land use plans adopted by adjacent

local jurisdictions. Determine their effect on local land usedecisions and indicate the mechanism by which suchplans are enforced

(2) Analyze existing and proposed land use forcompatibility with installation development and operations.

(3) Include in the Master Plan Report exhibitswhich graphically portray existing and projected land usein the vicinity. The general land use categories to be usedare agricultural, residential, commercial. industrial. publicand institutional, and vacant. If a more detailed descriptionis required for built-up areas or areas of unique character.additional categories may be used provided they areconsistent with the basic categories. For example. specificpublic facilities, parks, or commercial areas may bedesignated by name. Existing and proposed land uses maybe differentiated by direct notation. (such as “RegionalPark” versus “Proposed Regional Park”) or by use ofpatterns which are documented in a legend. A typicalpattern of community land use is shown in figure 2-3.

2-6

TM 5-803-1

(4) Compatibility of off-post land uses with instal-lation operations is affected by the type and intensity ofthose uses. Evaluate these relationships to establish anyimpact on installation development. Evaulation criteriainclude:

Sensitivity of adjacent and uses (especially resi-dential and institutional uses) to noise or installationoperations.

- Intensity and character of adjacent land uses atpoints of access to the installation.

- The operation of adjacent land uses (especiallycommercial and industrial uses), considering effects ofnoise. vibration. smoke. or traffic generation from theseland uses.

— Projected changes in type or intensity of land use inadjacent areas and the impact these changes would haveon installation operations.

- Projected rate of development in adjacent areas,identifying the degree to which recent development hasbeen consistent with proposed land use.

Obvious conflicts in projected land use patternsbetween the post and adjacent jurisdictions.

b. Land use controls.(1) Local land use controls are the means by which

community land use is regulated and implemented. Inmost cases, controls will be consistent with existing landuses. However, in some areas, zoning and land use willdiffer significantly. Also, private covenants or easementsmay play specific restrictions on adjacent land use.

(2) Land use controls and restrictions affectingdevelopment or redevelopment of land@ the installationvicinity should be identified In particular, the locationswhere existing zoning is significantly different from existingor proposed land use should be noted. as should locationsadjacent to the installation where significant increases indensity or intensity of development are permitted by localzoning. Also areas where existing zoning would permit achange in land use should be identified. particularly wheredevelopment of vacant land would be permitted Likewise,the nature and duration of any known private restrictionsor easements limiting the use of adjacent land should benoted

c. Historical and archaeological sites. All designatedhistorical and archaeological sites located within thevicinity of the installation should be identified Each sitewill be listed according to agency title, numbering system,and current status. The impact on installation operationsof regulations which protect such sites can then beevaluated.

2-9. Community servicesa. Community services are usually available in the

local area for use by installation personnel. Adequacy ofthese services can be determined by considering the areaand number of people served accessibility in both timeand distance to population served and capacity limitationsof these facilities.

2-8

b. The evaluation of community services should con-sider.

- The location of general hospitals. outpatient clinics.or satellite facilities: emergency facilities: and otherspecialized facilities.

The type ofagreement (primary service or emergency), along with anylimitations on capacity or periods of service, should bespecified.

- The location of public and private recreation sitesin the vicinity and the range of recreation opportunitiesavailable.

2-10. Land leases and easementsThe location and area of any off-post easements held bythe installation or tracts of land leased for use by theinstallation should be identified. An evaluation of theterms of the lease or easement should include the purpose.duration. and conditions.

2-11. Federal support servicesThe relationship between the installation, its tenant units.satellites, and other Federal facilities may include agree-ments for provision of services, emergency assistance. orother support The installation also may be obligated toprovide services to other Federal installations. or servicesmay be provided to the installation by other Federalagencies.

a. The type of services provided by other Federalinstallations or agencies should be identified includingthe locations of these services and the number of instal-lation personnel served The adequacy of the services canbe evaluated based upon area and number of peopleserved, accessibility in time and distance. and capacity offacilities.

b. Where on-post services are provided for otherinstallations or agencies. the capacity of the installation toprovide these services should be evaluated in light ofinstallation mission requirements.

TM 5-803-1

c. The impact of the Army Survival Measures Plan provisions of this plan which could affect long-rangeon the installation also should be evaluated and specific installation development should be identified.

Section Ill. ON-POST DATA ANALYSIS

2-12. Overview and sourcesOn-post data analysis consists of comprehensive evaluationsof existing natural and man-made conditions on theinstallation. This analysis is concerned with all aspects ofthe installation. but particularly the limitations on theinstallation’s long- range development must be clearlyestablished. Information about on-post conditions isavailable from published reports. contributory plans,special studies. Existing Condition Maps. and on-postcontacts and reconnaissance. The initial contact for on-post sources is the Director of Engineering and Housing(DEH) who will provide advice on data sources withinother directorates or offices. Tenant unit missions, oper-ations. and future requirements directly influence MasterPlan development and should be included in data collection.

2-13. Natural EnvironmentOn-post environmental conditions and the natural resourcebase will affect installation development. Such conditionsshould be evaluated particularly those natural elementswhich may create significant limitations for construction ofbuildings, roadways, utility systems, runways, trainingranges. or other facilities. The evaluations should includegeology, soils, topography, hydrology, and vegetation andwildlife.

a. Geologic conditions. The capability of underlyinggeological formations to support installation developmentshould be identified. Limitations should be established,such as:

Low compression or bearing strength in areas ofshale, limestone. and other sedimentary rocks requiringcostly construction or engineering techniques.

Bedrock depths of less than 8 feet below the surfacewhich could affect excavation for foundations and utilities.

Excessive bedrock depths which create unusualfoundation requirements.

Areas of unconsolidated deposits such as sand.gravel. or other materials which are difficult to compact.

Fault lines. subsidence. or evidence of other geologicdisturbance or hazards.

b. Soil conditions.( 1 ) Limitations of soil types and characteristics for

excavation building foundations. and roadways or otherpavement construction may be established based uponsoil association or classifications. The limitations mayinclude:

Unsuitability for compaction.Low permeability causing poor drainage and pendingHigh water table causing prolonged wetness.Inadequate stability due to lack of shear strength.

potential frost heave, or high shrink-swell potential.

-- Susceptibility (o wind or water erosion.-- Areas of muck. peat, or soils with high organic

content.- Unstable or denuded land

(2) The foundation material value of predominantsoil types at the installation should be established.

(3) Where septic fields or lagoons are used todispose of sewage effluent. the soil limitations for theselocations should be evaluated. including seepage. high orlow permeability and shallow depth to water table.

(4) Limitations caused by frost penetration of soillayers should be identified.

(5) Areas where severity of soil limitations may beincreased by topographic and hydrologic factors should beIdentified. These areas may include steep slopes orfloodplains for example:

c. Topography.(1) Elevation above sea level and the general

topographic orientation of the installation should beidentified. This analysis should concentrate on featuresrestricting the use of portions of the installation. Potentialfeatures include:

Steep slopes with grades greater than 15 percent. --Moderate to steep slopes with grades between 10

and 15 percent where there is intense development.— Minimal grades (typically one percent or less) with

inadequate drainage and ponding of water.Erosion on or any evidence of extensive soil slope

failure along with related factors such as lack of vegetationor increased runoff contributing to these conditions.

Areas of irregular topography marked by rockoutcropping or moraines creating construction diffculties.

The location and size of surface depressions.(2) Topographic features which in turn affect

climatic conditions should be identified. These effectsvary substantially with geographic location but mayinclude increases in wind velocities along crests andwindward slopes in the direction of prevailing winds.potential fog and frost pockets in valley floors. or areas ofcoastal fog or increased humidity in coastal lowland areas.

(3) The impact of installation landforms on futuredevelopment should be evaluated. Potential impacts arediverse and will reflect particular conditions of the instal-lation site. Some factors to be considered include landformdiversity where variations in topography create visualcontrasts, such as a river valley between rolling hills:landforms as spatial determinants. such as steeply risingmountain slopes and promontories; or other highly visiblelandforms providing points of reference or visual land-marks, such as bedrock outcropping or domes.

2-9

d. Hydrology.( 1 ) Aquifer characteristics should be established.

including the location of productive shallow depth aquiferssubject to contamination through permeable soils, highwater tables. or surface water flows: and aquifers whichdepend on recharge from seepage or surface waters.

(2) The impact of surface water drainage andstorm water runoff should be analyzed. This analysis willidentify:

- Acreage of drainage basins.– Location of major stormwater channels.- Direction of flow and quality of surface water.- Effect of capacity limitations in drainageways such

as siltation or inadequate culvert size.- Percentage of built-up land area in each drainage

basin.- Excessive runnoff volumes due to topographic

conditions or building coverage.- Natural pending areas.

(3) Development limitations due to flooding alongwatenways or wetland areas should be established. Theacreage and percentage of land subject to a one percentchance of flooding in a given year, the base flood area,areas of tidal inundations, and wetland areas (swamp,marsh. or bog) should be itemized. Problems of waterquality or effect of seasonal variation in wetland areasshould also be identified and the impact of wetlandprotection measures or flood control regulations on instal-lation development should be evaluated.

e. Vegetation and wildlife. Critical habitats, endangeredspecies. or resource management programs on the instal-lation should be analyzed. However, a detailed listing ofhabitats and species is not required. Rather, the analysisshould summarize potential constraints to developmentThe following elements should be considered in thisanalysis:

- The predominant type of vegetation on undevelopedportions of the installation and the location of areas ofsignificance.

- Habitats of any known protected or endangeredspecies and the effect of prescribed protective measures.

- Impact of fish and wildlife management programs.- Use of on-post areas for hunting and fishing.- Installation land management programs for barren

areas. emergent vegetation range vegetation and wetlandsvegetation.

- Forestry management requirements such as firelanes and buffer zones.

2-14. Human environmentEach installation also reflects the human influence. Forexample, the historic and archaeological setting providesinformation about the area’s past and may affect theinstallation’s future. The characteristics of current military.dependent, and other support populations and of population

2-10

forecasts and trends are part of the human environmentMilitary community services offered by the installation andspecialized activities such as outdoor ranges and maneuverareas also contribute to the human environment. Each ofthese characteristics should be investigated for theirpotential influence on plan developmcnt.

a. Historic and archaeological setting. The history ofthe area may be obtained from on-post records or from off-post sources such as local planning agencies or the locallibrary. This history should be reviewed for its potential toinfluence the future of the installation. Standards andprocedures for the preservation of historic features andarchaeological sites, as set forward in TM5-80 -1 and TM5–801 -2 should also be, reviewed Federal. State. county.and installation historic and archaeological sites of recordshould be identified and recorded on a work map with theappropriate agency identification numbers. The effect ofpresentation standards on future development should bedetermined and documented

b. Current and forecasted demographics. The installationpopulation includes all military personnel and their de-pendents. supported retirees. civilian employees andcontractors. and other persons using on-post facilities.

(1) Military personnel. Active military should beidentified according to the percentage of personnel ingroups as reported in DD Form 1657. which is developedin accordance with AR 210-11. The effect of increases ordecreases in the number of personnel required to obtainthe installation’s planning strength should be evaluated.

(2) Dependents. The total number and compositionof dependents are principal determinants of installationrequirements for a wide range of services and facilities.including education. health. and recreation. The totalnumber and composition of households should be identifiedfollowing guidance provided by DOD Instruction 4165 .45.the proponent for DD Form 1378. "Determination ofFamily Housing Requirements.” The effect of projectedincreases and decreases in the number of dependentswhen the installation reaches its planning strength shouldbe evaluated.

(3) Other supported population. The presentnumber of other population supported by the installationshould be identified along with the effect of any projectedincreases or decreases. Other supported population includes:

- Civilian employees ( both appropriated and non-appropriated fund).

- Military personnel employed on-post but not stationedon-post

- Army Reserve and National Guard personnel usingthe installation.

- Transient personnel and hospital patients ( dailyaverage).

- Retired personnel and their dependents.- Civilian groups using installation facilities over

short stays (such as Boy Scouts).

TM 5-803-1

c. Military community services. Evaluation factorsfor community services include number of people ( military.dependents. and civilians) served accessibility in bothtime and distance to the population served. and the size ofthe facility. The effect of private business providingequivalent services in the vicinity and the availability ofpublic off-post facilities to supplement on-post facilitiesalso should be considered.

(1) Medical and dental services. These servicesmay include emergency services; out-patient services( including clinics): acute care services ( including generalhospitals): and specialized services. Each service shouldbe evaluated separately in terms of its function andrelationship to other medical or dental services. Factors toconsider include accessibility to work and housing areas.*directness of access for off-post patients. and impact oftraffic noise or other nuisances. The availability ofambulance service should be identified.

(2) Fire protection. On-post fire protection facilitiesshould be evaluated for response time and coverage ofbuilt-up areas. This evaluation is based on proximity tohigh-risk areas; the impact of natural or man-madebarriers ( e.g., waterways or rail lines); traffic congestion;and capacity of the facilities to house the necessaryequipment.

(3) Security. The adequacy of on-post facilities toprotect and control access to the installation should beevaluated. Where restricted access facilities are locatedwithin or near built-up areas of the installation, their effecton adjacent land uses should be evaluated and anylimitations on future development in areas requiringrestricted access should be identified.

(4) Recreation. The ability of recreation facilitiesto efficiently serve the current and projected installationpopulation should be ascertained Coordination with theMorale Support Officer and use of the Installation Rec-reation Master Plan or special studies will provide approp-riate data. Deficiencies in specific facilities should beidentified based upon Department of the Army or Depart-ment of Defense criteria. The impact of facility use by thegeneral public or off-post personnel should be considered. Insome instances, recreation needs may be served by facilitieswith a primarily non-recreational function. Examplesinclude outdoor play environments in family housing and

school playground areas. These facilities should be includedin the assessment of recreation needs. Recreation limitationswhich may be caused by proximity to sensitive or hazardousland uses also should be determined. Specialized uses ofrecreation areas on a seasonal or limited basis (for example,fishing or hunting within open maneuver areas, andrecreational use of small arms ranges) should be noted. Theevaluation should identify the scope of these activities. Thearea used, the number of participants, and available to thegeneral public.

(5) Education. Service capacity of on-post educationalfacilities should be established, including nursery, pre-

school, child care centers: elementary and secondaryschools; and those providing adult education and collegecourses. The accessibility of educational facilities to thepopulation served should be evaluated and any limitationsdue to installation operations should be identified.

d. Outdoor ranges. Range analysis is necessary toensure that safety requirements are met in installationplanning. Range information will be coordinated with theInstallation Training Officer. Training Circulars (TCs)are a guide for determining the adequacy of existingranges. The TCs indicate what ranges are required thecapacity, and the iteration requirements for each range.The range analysis establishes what facilities are neededbased upon identified training mission. frequency of use.weapon systems, and units involved.

(1) Required information for the outdoor rangeanalysis includes:

- Environment limitations and terrain profiles forland available on-post and at other accessible training areas.This includes both the Reserve Component (RC) and theWeek-End Training Sites (WETS).

Current training strategies standardized for army-wide use and U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command(TRADOC) and service schools.

Expected arrival date and training requirements fornew weapon systems.

Range safety requirements and waivers.(2) Each range should be listed by installation

name and number. Table 2-2 gives and example of atypical outdoor range inventory.

- Need for unique training facilities.e. Maneuver areas.

(1) To accomodate necessary tactical maneuversat the installation. efficient use of maneuver areas isnecessary. The Training Offilcer is the source of informationfor how maneuver training is performed at the installation.Available acreage should be listed as shown in table 2-3.Overlapping acreage should be identified as should thelargest contiguous maneuver acreage. A metric conversionfor all maneuver area acreages should be provided so thatcomparisons can be made with TCs.

2-12

TM 5-803-1

(2) Acreage requirements for supporting the largestmaneuver training event should be established by com-

paring the largest contiguous acreage with the total requiredacreage. The suitability of the area’s configuration for the

. event also should be determined.(3) The current use of permanently installed training

facilities. airfields. roads. railroads. and service facilitiesshould be identified.

(4) The ability of existing areas to accommodateadditional maneuver training should be evaluated andpotential new areas for maneuvers should be identified.All available terrain should be considered for maneuver

areas except environmentally sensitive areas, historic sites,cantonment areas, and munition impact areas. Appropriateareas include streams, rivers, or lakes suitable forconstruction of fixed and floating bridges and river crossingexpedients; areas permitting construction of obstacles; orareas permitting live fire maneuvers outside the normalimpact area (such as in a temporary impact area).

2-15. Safety and healthNumerous elements contribute to safety and health on theinstallation. Each of the following activities orcharacteristics should be identified and evaluated in terms oftheir current and future interface with the installationmission and operation.

a. Air operations. The limitations for both fixed wingand rotary wing aircraft should be considered. TM 5-803-7 should be consulted for this analysis. which willestablish the average number of monthly flights. largesttype of aircraft accommodated, type of airfield, andcondition of runaways and taxiways. Temporary andpermanent waivers should be identified and land useconflicts not covered by waivers within Runway ClearZones, Safety Takeoff Zones, and Accident Potential Zonesshould be evaluated. The effect on long-range developmentof approach and departure clearances and height obstructionswill be clearly established.

b. Explosives storage and handling. Ammunition andexplosive handling operations include holding areas. work

2-13

areas. and storage areas as well as shipping of explosivesby air. truck. or train. Development limitations should beestablished based on quantity safety distance requirements(TM 9-1300–206 and AR 385 -64). Existing temporaryand permanent waivers should be identified. Evaluation ofthe impact of demolition operations can be based uponinstallation standard operating procedures ( SOPS). typeand quantity of munitions involved. by-products. and by-products disposal procedures.

c. Outdoor ranges. Safety limitations will be establishedin accordance with applicable regulations including theinstallation SOP. Surface Danger Zones will be identifiedfor all outdoor ranges and firing points and the effect ofrange denials and waivers will be evaluated.

d. Hazardous material. Safety imitations for storageof hazardous solid waste materials, toxic substances. andflammable and combustible liquids are established byhazardous material safety clearances and installationSOP. AR200-i. and AR 385-10. On-post routes for thetransport of hazardous substances should be identified.For any hazardous or contaminated sites. the size of thearea. type of contaminant, estimated quantity of contaminant,and the present status of use restrictions will be determined

e. Electromagnetic safety. Safety clearances andinstallation SOP for operations producing electromagneticemissions such as microwave, infrared. ultraviolet, andX-ray waves should be identified. Consideration shouldbe given to the effect of shielding facilities producingelectromagnetic emissions. The impact on air operationsalso should be established.

f. Radiation safety. Safety imitations for radiationexposure including ionizing sources. non- ionizing sources,and laser are established by safety clearances and instal-lation SOP. AR 200-1, and AR 385-10. Shielding andother protective measures will have a recognizable effect.Permanent and temporary waivers should be identified. asshould transportation routes for radioactive materials andthe effect of off-post imitations on transportation of thesematerials.

g, Air quality. On-post air quality should be evaluatedin conjunction with applicable standards. The Federal.State. or local environmental monitoring agency canprovide air quality data for local monitoring stations. The

effect of significant point source emissions and the typeand pattern of these emissions should be evaluatcd. On-post contribution to local and regiona air quality shouldbe considered specifically particulates. carbon monoxide.and hydrocarbons.

h. Noise abatement. Activities generating significantnoise levels on-post should be identified in accordancewith Federal, State, or local noise monitoring agenciesand standards. Limitations should be established from:

- Stationary activities which either generate significantnoise or are in violation of existing noise standards.

- ICUZ Zone 111 impacts for both fixed wing androtary wing aircraft.

- Noise-generating activities in open testing trainingand maneuver areas.

- Blast noise from tiring operations.Temporary and permanent waivers should be identifiedand the effect of shielding or other noise-supprcssivemeasures should be considered.

i. Water quality. State and local regulations andmonitoring programs for both potable and non-potablewater should be consulted. Also, locations of on-postwater monitoring stations and the nearest off-post stationson streams receiving discharge or runoff from the installationshould be identified. Installation impact on adjacentcommunity surface or groundwater supply should beevaluated, with particular attention to aquifers and theirrecharge areas.

2-16. Land use/circulation/utilitiesrelationships

a. Land use. The analysis of on-post land use consistsof an overview of existing land use patterns to identifymajor spatial relationships and land availability. Thisinformation is further analyzed in light of the installation' smission and facility requirements.

(1) The existing land use pattern should be establishedby categorizing on-post land use areas according to theprincipal activities. Categories used in classifying land useareas are listed in table 2-4. Land use areas should begeneralized rather than site specific and should include allareas occupied by buildings and support facilities.

2-14

TM 5-803-1

(2)Report to

An exhibit will be included in the Master Planshow the location of land use areas at the

installation in relation to the limits of the cantonment orbuilt-up area and to the overall installation site. A typicalland use exhibit for the cantonment area of an installationis shown in figure 2-4.

2-15

(3) Identify significant functional problems,incompatibilities, or operational conflicts created byexisting land use relationships. Where existing relation-ships are sound evaluate the potential for fitting futuredevelopment into the present land use pattern.

(a) Criteria such as proximity, compatibility,and efficiency of services are used to evaluate land userelationships. Land use areas with activities which arefunctionally related should be located within easy accessto each other, with related activities located closesttogether. Land use areas which have comparable levels ofactivity as measured by intensity, duration, and frequencyof use, or where the scale or density of buildings is similar,are generally compatible. Land uses are likely to be

. incompatible when the intensity, duration, and frequencyof use, or where the scale or density of buildings is similar,are generally compatible. Land uses are likely to beincompatible when the intensity and frequency of adjacentuses differ greatly, and when impacts such as noise ortraffic volume are felt beyond the immediate area ofactivity. For example, a motor pool located next to afamily housing area would be considered an incompatibleland use relationship. Uses which have similar servicerequirements should be located so that the necessaryservices can be provided most efficiently. Widely scattereduses are more difficult to seine. Those uses dependent on aspecific service should be located close to facilities whichprovide that service, while uses which depend to a lesserdegree on a particular service can be located at a greaterdistance from it.

(b) Application of these criteria will vary frominstallation to installation depending on the specificmission and fictional needs of a particular post. Therefore,understanding the installation’s mission is necessary toproperly evaluate land use relationships. Also, the presentland use pattern and relationship may have been influencedby previous missions; therefore, knowledge of the historyand development of the installation will be helpful inevaluating present conditions.

(c) In addition to basic locational criteria theexisting arrangement and grouping of building sites withindeveloped areas may affect land use. While the land useanalysis should not include a detailed survey of building

sites, factors which may affect the functional capacity ofland use areas include: availability of adjacent land areafor potential expansion; ability to accommodate existinglevels of activity on a site without overcrowding com-patibility of existing functions on a site; and thepermanence of existing buildings on a site.

(d) Natural site features may also affect theexisting land use pattern and relationships. The land usepattern should be compared with the limitations identifiedin the analysis of natural features to determine the ways in

which natural features contribute to existing land useproblems. This comparison will also provide the basis forevaluating the extent to which any natural site conditionscreate constraints for existing land uses or for expansion.

b. Traffic circulation.

(1) Road network. The existing roadway networkshould be functionally related to the land use and activitypattern which it serves. An evacuation of the existingnetwork will identify problems in providing access to orcirculation between land use areas, as well as anypotential constraints imposed on new development due tothe location of existing roadways.

(a) Roadways are classified as primary, secondary,and tertiary, in accordance with TM 5-822-2. Thisclassification reflects existing traffic volumes, roadwaycharacteristics, and on-post travel patterns. A typicalinstallation roadway network is shown in figure 2-5. Theeffectiveness of the overall network should be evaluated andparticular access or circulation problems should beidentifiedEvaluation factors include:

- Directness of primary or secondary roadway accessto high intensity land uses or major traffic generators.

- Directness of access routes for off-post traffic.- Lack of road access to undeveloped areas.- Continuity of alignment on primary roads and

traffic routes.- Impact of traffic patterns on housing and community

service areas.– Conflict of major traffic routes with pedestrian

movement.

2-17

EXISTING

(b) Existing traffic data should be reviewed toidentify specific deficiencies which could limit futuredevelopment These deficiencies may include:

- At-grade vehicular/rail crossings.Inadequate load limits or poor structural condition

of bridges.- Traffic congestion.- On-street parking.

(c) The effect of any planned or programmedroadway improvements on land uses should be evaluatedSuch effects include changes in traffic volumes, changes inaccess points to major traffic generators, or changes inroutes used by service and truck traffic.

(2) Air, rail, and water transportation facilities.On-post air, rail, and water transportation facilities shouldbe evaluated to determine their ability to support installationoperational requirements. Evaluation factors include thestructural condition of facilities, the capacity limits ofcargo or personnel handling facilities, and the number andtype of rail cars, aircraft, or waterborne craft which can beaccommodated

c. Utility system. Installation growth is dependentupon the adequacy of the utility systems to meet increaseddemand and peacetime environmental constraints whilemaintaining recommended reserve allowances for demandsurges. Like the transportation system, the installation’s

utility systems bear a direct relationship with land use.The utilities analysis should focus upon the major componentsof each system. Installation utility system maps, specialstudies, system operational and testing records. andsystem analyses may be used to tabulate historic con-sumption rates and develop projected consumption ratesbased on the effective population. These rates establishsystem carrying capacities to support the installationplanning strength. The analysis should be coordinated withoff-post data analyses to identify the impact of off-postsupply or service limitations on installation systems.Schematic diagrams should be prepared for each trunk lineutility systems. These diagrams will be used to analyze therelationship between various land use areas and utilities.

(1) Effective population.(a) Carrying capacity for each utility system is

determined by the effective population of the installation.Effective population is based upon a ratio of the totalpopulation using installation utility systems on a givenday. It is computed as shown in table 2-5. The effectivepopulation served differs for the various utility systemswithin an installation. For example, a portion of a familyhousing area may discharge its domestic waste directly toan adjacent municipal sanitary sewer rather than to theon-post system facility, even though that area may obtainall other utility services from the installation.

2-19

(b) Population peaks are very important indetermining maximum demand. This includes time over-laps of personnel arriving and leaving an installation.When the population peaks are seasonal or associatedwith weekend training a monthly effective populationmay be computed. It may be necessary to weight orprorate the figures to obtain a representative monthlypopulation. After it is determined, the effective populationis applied to utility usage rates to generate capacity require-ments.

(c) A determination should be made of themagnitude of improvement necessary to remove the firstlevel of limitation within the system to raise its overallcarrying capacity. The general cost level and the timerequired to correct the limitation should be established

(d) Special requirements for fire protection andcommercial/industrial-type uses within the installationalso should be identified Potable and non-potable systemsshould be examined separately when both exist at aninstallation.

(3) Sewerage system.(a) The degree of sewerage system coverage

should be related to present land use and topography.Those areas which use septic tanks with tile fields orpackaged treatment units will be identified as will on-postareas not connected to the installation collection systemor off-post areas connected to the on-post system. Areview of the effective population figures will reveal areasof service limitations due to high density housing orindustrial flow served by small diameter lines.

(b) The carrying capacity of each major com-ponent of the sewerage system—trunk lines, major lift orpumping stations, and on-post treatment facilities- willbe established using the appropriate per capita domesticcontribution rate. Where treatment is provided off-post,contract limitations on treatment should be verifiedSignificant limitations in the collection system such asinflow and infiltration problems should be identified andthe necessary corrective measures should be documentedSignificant on-post sources of industrial waste waters andtype of waste generated also should be identified TheNational Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)Permit Program regulates discharge into surface streams.The need for NPDES permit should be evaluated. Theeffectiveness of SOP and treatment to handle the wasteload should be analyzed

(c) The magnitude of improvement necessaryto remove the first level of limitation will be established,including the general cost level and the time required tocorrect the limitation.

(4) Solid waste.(a) Waste disposal methods used, disposal

locations, and the percentage of total waste disposed ineach location should be identified for the installation.Significant waste generators should be noted along withthe type of waste generated and its treatment and disposal.

The features of any local recycling operations should bedocumented

(b) The carrying capacity of major waste disposalfacilities should be determined, including landfill sites.transfer stations, incinerators, or resource recovery plants.Collection procedures should be reviewed. Waste collectionand disposal records for the past two or three years willestablish per capita and industrial contribution rates.

When no reliable data are available, the analysis shouldbe based on a domestic contribution rate of 8 poundscapacity per day, translated to 800 pounds per cubic yardcompacted

(c) Means of removing system limitations anddetermining the maximum accelerated use of presentlandfill capacity will be identified Since landfill capacityis a direct function of generation rate and time, remainingavailable landfill volume can be used to support aconstant effective population for a specific number ofyears Expansion requirements are based on the installationplanning strength.

(5) Storm drainage.(a) Local drainage patterns, steep slopes, flood-

plains, and wetlands relate to storm drainage characteristics.Areas of historic flooding or pending should be identified.

(b) Design flows of major storm drainagecomponents should be established to determine the capa-city needed to safely confine and convey design flowsappropriate to the installation mission. Limitations in theexisting system and their influence on installation missionand objectives should be identified so that the potential forreduction in flooding through system improvements canbe defined.

(6) Electric power system.(a) Electricity may be self-generated or supplied

to the installation, Off-post supplier(s) will provide inform-ation about system limitations due to equipment capacityor contract agreements. An evacuation of the location ofon-post generating facilities will identify possible land useconflicts.

(b) The present distribution system should beexamined relative to present land uses in terms of degreeof coverage, loading of substations, routing of circuits, andavailability of alternate supplies. Available data may beused to identify existing service and distribution problems.

(c) The carrying capacity for major components-supply, transmission transformers, and distribution circuits-should be established. In particular, the impact of indus-trial energy demand on the system should be noted. Streetand security lighting are also part of the electric powersystem. These items should be examined sufficiently todetermine the type, location, and adequacy of existingsystems. Limitation factors of the system should beidentified and the magnitude and cost of eliminating thefirst level of limitations should be established

2“20

TM 5-803-1

(7) Fuels, heating and cooling.

(a) Department of the-Army policy providesthe basis for analyzing energy sources, fuel services, andstorage capacities relative to fuel procurement policies.Off-post suppliers will provide data to establish available

‘ . _ supply, connection points, and distribution mains withinand in the vicinity of the installation. Contract limitationsand fuel source priorities should be identified, as shouldavailable forecasts that directly limit the supply of fuel tothe installation.

(b) The service area of on-post distributionsystems should be identified for natural gas, heating steamor hot water, and cooling chilled water. The location ofcentral heating and cooling plants, fuel oil storage tanks,and coal storage and handling yards should be evaluatedin terms of their relationship to other land uses. Areas ofactual or suspected low pressure and locations of highdemand for production needs should be identified

(c) The carrying capacity of major componentsshould be analyzed baaed on the current Basewide EnergySystems Plan. The relationship of demand during peakand non-peak periods to the capacity of central plantsshould be assessed The age and condition of equipment

2-17. Description

should be noted, as should limitations relating to fuel,steam and high temperature water, and cooling distributionlines. Fuel storage capacity can be analyzed based onhistorical peaks, heating fuel supply conditions, and majorcomponent limitations. Methods for eliminating systemlimitations should be identified

(d) The magnitude and cost of on-post systemimprovements to remove the initial limitations within eachsystem should be estimated Department of Defense fuelsupply agency and transmission supplier policies provideguidance for establishing future energy use and reserverequirements.

(8) Communications and telephone system. Anexamination of on-post communications facilities will becoordinated with the Installation Communications-E1ec-tronics Officer and the serving telephone company. Theexisting level of service and the capacity of major telephonefacilities and trunkline routings will be established toidentify service limitations. The response time requiredfor upgrading or increasing the telephone service capacityshould be reviewed Response time requirements aredependent upon the communication facilities rather thanon population

Section IV. SUMMARY OF LIMITATIONS

Based upon the comprehensive analysis of on-post andoff-post conditions, a summary of limitations should beprepared This summary identifies those specific conditionswhich most directly affect the installation’s ability to carryout its mission. This summary should not simply repeatthe findings of the data collection and analysis althoughreferences to previous sections of the analyses should beused to support the conclusions reached The summaryshould clearly convey why particular conditions areimportant in relation to the overall character of existingand future development of the installation.

2-18. Buildable areasThe off-post and on-post analyses together identify thoseconditions which combine to delimit buildable areas forthe installation An exhibit of available buildable areas,like the one shown in figure 2-6, will be included in theMaster Plan Report The buildable areas of an installationexclude all portions of the installation having one or moresite development limitations. Such limitations may berelated to natural features, safety distance requirements,air operations, training and maneuver requirements, orother significant restrictions.

Section V. MISSION ANALYSISTM 5-803-1

2-19. Mission definition.An understanding of the installation’s mission is mandatoryin planning for future development Installation organizationregulations (10-series) identify the assigned mission anddescribe the elements of the mission carried out by theinstallation commander, officers, and units. The mission

statement should be reviewed to identify the principalmission objectives. The types of activities-such as support,training, administration, production-which are necessary tocarry out the mission should be noted, with a working list ofmission objectives and principal operations and activities.An example is shown in figure 2-7.

a The installation planning strength is determined bythe aggregate strength of units assigned to carry out themission. The planning strength for the installation isidentified in the Army Stationing and Installation Plan(ASIP). The current ASIP planning strength should becompared with the most recent actual unit strengths.Analysis of the Table of Organization and Equipment(TOE) and the Table of Distribution and Allowance

2-22. Functional relationships.a. There is always a desirable relationship among

functions at an installation. The operations required tocarry out the installation’s mission determine this relation-ship. Using the facility categories identified in the installation’sTERF, a predominant function should be established foreach activity on the installation. Regardless of theircurrent physical location, units and activities identified inprevious steps should be clustered within major functionalgroups as shown on figure 2-9.

b. Based upon mission objectives. the operationalactivities of the installation are analyzed to establish howfictional categories currently are related As figure 2-10 illustrates, each functional will have a set of relation-ships with other functions. The closest most interdependentrelationships are illustrated on figure 2– 10 with heavyarrows. These are the relationships which are most crucialto accomplishment of the installation’s mission. Lesscritical, less interdependent relationships among functionsare shown with thin arrows.

CHAPTER 3CONCEPT PLANS

3-1. Procedure

a. This step in the installation master planning processincludes preparation of alternate concept plans for futuredevelopment and selection of a preferred concept, known asthe Concept Plan, to serve as the basis for preparation of thelong-range plans for the installation. This Concept Planpresents the major land use areas, circulation system, andutility relationships proposed for the installation.

b. The Concept Plan conveys a functional and spatialframework for long-range development which responds tothe requirments of the installation mission The ConceptPlan is developed by analyzing the installation’s rnission-derived functional relationships and facility requirements; bycomparing ideal functional relationships with existing facilitiesand physical limitation by developing goals and objectivesto be met; and by graphically developing an ideal spatialarrangement of functional land use areas which willaccommodate both existing facility and program needsand long-range development requirements.

3-2. Needs and ConstraintsThe mission analysis described in chapter 2, section V,produced future installation requirements and an idealarrangement of existing and future functions on the installationwithout regard for physical constraints or the location ofexisting facilities. Future requirements and the ideal

functional arrangement will be brought forward into theconcept stage for comparisons and synthesis to create thealternate concept plans. Likewise, chapter 2, section IVdescribes the process by which physical limitations arederived, yielding a map of buildable areas. The BuildableAreas map should also be used in the development ofconcept plans. These two elements, the ideal functionalarrangement and the installation’s buildable areas, describethe existing and future needs of the installation and thephysical constraints within which those needs must be met.

3-3. Existing spatial relationshipsa. The location of existing facilities at the installation

creates a pattern of spatial relationships corresponding tothe major functions at the installation. The pattern willshow where similar or compatible functions are locatedtogether and where they are separated.

b. The existing spatial relationships should bediagramed as shown in figure 3-1. The diagram shouldbe based upon the location of facilities as shown on theExisting Condition Maps and include all major functionsof the installation. The general location of fictional areasare shown in terms of their relationship to each other.While the diagram is not to be a site-specific depiction ofeach facility, it should accurately portray the overallarrangement of functions. Where a function is located inmore than one area the diagram should show eachseparately.

“ i - -

TM 5-803-1

c. The existing spatial arrangement of major functionalareas at the installation will be analyzed. including majortenant activities. This analysis identifies opportunitiesand constraints for future development resulting from:

- Fragmented and scattered functions.- Difficulty in maintaining lines of communication,- Incompatibility of adjacent land uses.- Total land area limitations.- Lack of transition areas for sensitive uses.- Limited expansion of built-up areas.- Inappropriate use of environmentally sensitive areas.- Inefficient movement of material and personnel.- Incomplete circulation facilities.

This analysis leads to the definition of specific problems inexisting locations and in functional relationships whichshould be addressed in the Concept Plan. These problemsshould be documented in the Master Plan Report.

3-4. Synthesisa. The synthesis step involves integrating the ideal

functional relationships with existing spatial relationships.within the physical restrictions documented on the Build-

able Areas map. This is accomplished by preparing one ormore working diagrams of the most desirable futurespatial relationships for the installation. These diagramsmay reflect relocation of some functions. consolidation orexpansion of some functions. or separation of incompatiblefunctions. Each land area shown on the diagrams shouldbe of sufficient magnitude to accommodate all futurerequirements for the function appropriate to that use.These requirements are based on the ASIP or TDAstrength and developed as part of the mission analysis.plus a 25 percent allowance. b. Figure 3-2 shows the procedure for calculatinggross land area requirements for each land use type( barracks. administration. community facilities. etc.).This procedure allows a comparison of total needs withcurrent availability and use. which in turn allows anidentification of additional land area needs to accommo-date the requirements. All available areas of the installationshould be used to provide maximum long-range developmentcapability. All of the development capability of theinstallation cantonment area should be incorporated whilemaintaining required training and maneuver areas.

3-3

3-5. Goals and objectivesa. Specific goals and objectives for future installation

development will provide guidance for developing thealternate concept plans and standards for the evaluation ofalternate plans. The goals and objectives should addressbroad functional and locational considerations for futurephysical development rather than specific facilities orsites. These goals and objectives also should be responsive tothe particular combination of natural. man-made. andoperational conditions at the individual installation.

b. The rationale for selection of specific goals andobjectives is based on consideration of the installationmission and analysis of significant off-post and on-postconditions. Factors to be considered in identifying instal-lation objectives should include:

- Need for increased operational capacities to carryout the installation mission.

- Resolution of functional land use difficulties.- Correction of circulation and utility problems.- Treatment of environmental concerns.- Relationship to previous plans.- Economic feasibility of development.- Need to retain traditional or historic use areas.

3-6. Alternate concept plansa. The alternate concept plans will depict generalized

long-range development of the installation. including thearrangement of functional land use areas, major roadways.and utility systems. These concepts will be logical arrange-ments for physical components of the installation. Theywill be derived from the diagram of ideal spatial relation-ships. tempered by the reality of existing facility locationsand the off-post and on-post environment. Each alternatemay be based on a theme or point of emphasis to allowcomparisons and tradeoffs later in long-range development.

b. The number of alternate concept plans to be

prepared will be determined by the possibilities fordifferent logical arrangements of the physical componentsof the installation. Generally. no more than three alternateconcepts will be required unless a wide variety of futurerequirements is indicated. based upon a possible change inmission. However. in the initial stages of concept develop-ment, a greater range of alternates for a particular element(such as the circulation system or one or more utilitysystems) could be considered When there is no reasonablealternate for a specific element. each alternative conceptplan should show that element in the single most appropriateconfiguration.

3-7. The Concept PlanThe Concept Plan is derived from the alternate concepts.The advantages and disadvantages of each concept shouldbe evaluated against each other and against the idealspatial relationship diagram. The intent of this evaluationis to determine which elements in each concept comeclosest to achieving that ideal. One alternate concept planmay be selected as the most appropriate. However. it ismore usual to take the best elements of each alternate andcombine them to form the Concept Plan.

a. At many installations. even after requirements toprovide for the assigned strength are satisfied. additionalland area will be available for development. If this is thecase, the Concept Plan should depict maximum develop-ment potential predicated upon a functionally relatedextension of land use areas.

b. Concepts for circulation and utility service areas willalso be incorporated as part of the Concept Plan. Theseconcepts will be based on supporting the ultimate land usedevelopment at the installation. Figure 3-3 illustrates anexample of a Concept Plan An illustration of the ConceptPlan should be included in the Master Plan Report.

c. The Concept Plan selected from the alternateconcepts will be based on a particular rationale forachieving the installation-s functional requirements andobjectives for future development. This rationale takesform during the evacuation of components of the alternateconcept plans and their relationship to each other. Togetherwith the previously developed goals and objectives. therationale defines the installations policy for long–rangedevelopment.

d. The Master Plan Report will include a descriptionof the rationale for selection of the Concept Plan. Thecriteria used for establishing major land use relationships,the circulation system. and utility service areas will bedefined with an indication of their relationship to development goals and objectives. How the criteria are related todevelopment limitations and requirements of the particularinstallation should be specified. Typical criteria include:

- Conformance to the installation’s functionalrequirements.

- Ability to efficiently accomplish operations.- Flexibility to respond to changing-conditions.- Security for sensitive functions and control of

access.- Contribution to efficient communications.- Compatibility of land use areas based on proximity

and intensity of use.- Accessibility of land use areas.- Quality of life and pleasantness of the living and

working environment.- Separation of hazardous operations from populated

areas.- Efficiency in energy conservation by minimizing

internal travel distance and by providing building locationswhich ameliorate local climate effects.

- Efficiency of utility service to serve all development.- Removal of existing service constraints.- Avoiding intensive development in environmentally

sensitive areas.- Maintaining compatibility with the character of

adjacent land use.- Assurance of operational safety clearances.- Flexibility to respond to unforeseen long--range

needs.- Ability to maximize use of existing assets and

facilities.- Availability of additional property for acquisition.- The compatibility of plan concepts with previous

installation plans.- Ability to undertake development in staged or

phased construction.

3-8. Land use elementThe Concept Plan will depict general locations for landuse areas in relation to existing development patterns andmajor constraints as identified in the data analysis. Withinthe limitations posed by existing development and theenvironment. there generally will be more than onearrangement of future land use which will satisfy thefunctional elements of mission requirements. Land userelationships should achieve the most efficient arrangementof functions. resolve existing problems, and provide alogical and desirable location for all future requirements.The land uses shown should correspond to the majorfunctions depicted in the spatial relationship analyses.The areas identified for each land use may be approximatein the size but the relative locations of the proposed areasmust clearly convey the locational relationships betweenland uses. installation boundaries. and major site features.

3-9. Circulation elementThe movement of people. goods. and services betweenvarious functional areas is critical to an installation'sefficiency. The Concept Plan therefore should include aroad network that is convenient, safe, and in scale with Itsintended use, A conceptual system of major roadways willbe designed to serve the land use arrangement presented inthe Concept Plan. The circulation concept should focuson major vehicular routes. including existing major roadsto be retained. roadway extensions. new alignments. andmajor access points to the installation as shown in figure3–3. Secondary and minor roadways should not beincluded unless they are required to resolve a seriousfunctional deficiency affecting the overall land use arrange-ment.

3-10. Utility service elementUtility service must be provided to support the land usearrangement in the Concept Plan. This may require theextension of service areas or removal of major constraintsin the existing system to serve the future population level.The Concept Plan should indicate the proposed areas ofrequired utility service in relation to the existing areas ofservice and major treatment or generating facilities asillustrated in figure 3-3. The Concept Plan should alsoindicate future service needs. particularly in locationswhere service is not provided or is limited by existingdeficiencies. A detailed engineering analysis is not neededat this point However. the location or scope of any majorsystem improvements necessary to serve the conceptualland use pattern should be specified.

TM 5-803-1

CHAPTER 4LONG-RANGE PLANS

4-1. General plan considerationsa. The long-range plans serve as guides for overall.

long-term physical growth and change at the installation.The long-range plans are composed of a minimum of threeinterdependent elements: a Land Use Plan a CirculationPlan: and a Utility Service Plan. Other long-range plansmay also be prepared for special topics such as wildlifemanagement or historic preservation. However, the threeplans discussed here provide the overall framework of theInstallation Master Plan. The long-range plans are com-prehensive in that they cover the entire installation and alsobecause they reflect all of the physical systems whichsupport the installation. These plans must be flexibleenough to respond to future. unforeseen needs withoutlosing their essential purpose. yet they must be detailedenough to clearly convey and maintain the appropriatespatial and functional relationships for the installation.The long-range plans should provide efficiency in thearrangement of functions. provision of services, and use ofexisting assets. The plans also should present a clear andlogical sequence of development. Finally, the long-rangeplans must respond to the particular development problemsand needs of the installation while conforming to generalplanning criteria and military requirements.

b. The long-range plans are concerned with existingand future land uses and the major circulation elementsand the utility services necessary to support those landuses. Therefore. the plans will address the location ofmajor land use areas. designation of major elements of thecirculation system, and determination of utility servicerequirements. The process of preparing the long-rangeplans will be largely one of refining and shaping theproposals outlined in the selected Concept Plan. Throughout the process, the primary objective should be tomaintain the desired spatial relationships between functionalareas while fitting the arrangement of land uses to theinstallation site.

c. Goals and objectives for the development of theinstallation continue to play a major role in this step of theplanning process. As adjustments in the Concept Plan aremade to reflect installation site features. the previously

determined development goals and objectives provideguidelines to maintain consistency with the Concept Plan.Modifications to the goals and objectives may be requiredto respond to new information discovered through theplanning process. Any modifications should be documented.

d. The nature and extent of environmental limitationsand constraints identified in the data collection andanalysis stage should remain in the forefront as the long-range plans are developed. The definition of specific landuse areas and supporting circulation and utility systemmust be sensitive to hazardous areas and clear zones.historic or archaeological resources. unstable soils. steepslopes. water areas and wetlands. endangered specieshabitat, and air and noise pollution.

e. The long-range plans are a function of installationmission and requirements. The land use relationshipswhich emerge should enhance the installation mission andprovide needed capacity and flexibility. To ensure that thepreviously determined the functional relationships arecarried forward into the long-range plans, the ConceptPlan should provide the basis for the more detailedarrangement of land uses. Where difficulties are found inthe process or refining the Concept Plan. the arrangementof uses may be altered to alleviate the problem.

4-2. Land Use Plana. The Concept Plan is refined to arrange specific

land uses in the most desirable configuration. This con-figuration. This configuration becomes the Land UsePlan. As the Land Use Plan is prepared. potentialtransportation and utility support needs also must beconsidered. The Land Use Plan should be portrayed in anexhibit similar to the example given in figure 4-1. Thisexhibit will be included in the Master Plan Report. Anarrative description of the rationale for the Land UsePlan also is included in the Master Plan Report along witha description of the criteria used for delineating land useareas. The land use arrangement should relate to installationdevelopment objectives and to key functional and spatialrelationships.

4-1

4-2

TM 5-803-1

b. The land use arrangement should reflect the influenceof the installation’s natural setting, the off-post communityenvimnment, and the mission and functions of the installation.As land use areas are delineated, the following conditionsshould be sought.

- A compact arrangement of land uses for the built-up area of the installation.- Maintenance of open areas outside the built-up areafor training activities, maneuvers, and required operationalclearances.

- Separation of uses with different intensity of activity.- Grouping of compatible functions in areas providing

for multiple use.- Adjacent locations for land uses with important

fictional relationships.- Conformance with operational safety clearances

and noise criteria.- Allowance for required expansion within land use

areas.- Available capacity of the circulation and utility

systems to serve high activity land use areas.- Use of natural features and terrain to provide an

attractive setting for living areas and other communityfunctions.

- Convenient access to community facilities for on-post and off-post population.

- Separation of functions requiring special securityconsiderations.

- Accessibility to primary roads for land uses generatinghigh traffic volumes.

c. The Land Use Plan must consider the installation’smaximum development potential, over and above require-ments based upon planned strength under the ASIP. Atmany installations, after requirements to provide for theplanned strength have been met, excess land area will beavailable. The Land Use Plan will designate appropriatelong-term uses for any excess land areas. Designation ofthese areas should be predicated upon a continuation ofthe assigned mission of the installation and expansion ofactivities functionally related to this mission Designationof land use areas for long-term development should beconsistent with the general functional and environmentalcriteria for land use relationships. The designation ofareas for long-term development also will be a logicalextension of the proposed development pattern designedto meet the A SIP requirements and should lend itself tostaged implementation. Development areas to meet A SIPrequirements and long-range potential should not beintermixed

4-3. Guidelines for specific landuse types

a. Administration. Facilities which are primarilyused for administration, including post headquarters andgeneral office functions, should be centrally located withinthe built-up area of the installation to be accessible to all

major activities. The location should have a direct route tothe main entrance and be accessible to other majorfictional areas on the post. A location where naturalfeatures or site development provides a visually prominentsetting or vistas is desirable.

b. Commercial services and community facilities.These facilities include both commercial services such asthe post exchange and commissary and community servicesof a non-commercial nature such as the library, chapel,and craft workshops. Where practicable, commercial

services and community facilities should be grouped in oneor two notes to provide for multiple use of facilities andconvenient access from housing and employment areas. A“community center” of this nature. should have good accessfrom major roadways yet should be within walking distanceof major troop housing areas. The center should be close tothe main entrance, with a direct route for use by servicevehicles as well as by the off-post population served by theinstallation. Sizable areas suitable for vehicular parking andinternal circulatiom within the center will be required.Consideration should be given to providing an attractivesetting for the center with adequate area for separation ofmore intensively used activities from those adverselyaffected by high activity levels. More detailed guidance forcommunity centers may be found in TM 5-803-6.

c. Medical and dental The location of medical anddental facilities, including hospitals, clinics, and supportinglaboratory facilities, should be consolidated in theirprimary service area Where the predominant function isto serve off-post patients, these activities should belocated away from other major activity areas at theinstallation, but with direct access to the main entrance.Where the facilities primarily serve on-post activities,their location should be accessible from other majorfunctional areas and housing areas. but separated frommore intensive activities. Access from major roadwaysproviding internal service to the installation is necessaryand proximity to the main entrance is desirable toaccommodate visitors.

d. Training. Training facilities include classroombuildings and other indoor facilities, as well as outdoormaneuver and range areas. The indoor facilities should beaccessible to but separate from troop housing areas for theconvenience of personnel using the facilities. They shouldalso be accessible to any supporting supply, maintenance,or administrative facilities. The maneuver and range areasshould be well separated from the built-up portions of theinstallation with direct access routes to troop housing andmaintenance areas. Location of maneuver areas should berelated to the character of the installation terrain toprovide appropriate training capability.

e. Supply/storage and maintenance. Supply/storageand maintenance land uses include facilities engineering,quartermaster, transportation, motor pools, and ware-housing areas. These uses require level sites with adequatespace for outdoor storage and access for service vehicles.

4-3

Where supplies are to redelivered by rail, the locationshould have rail access or the potential for such access.While the location should be accessible to all portions ofthe installation, it should be separated from housing andcommunity service areas.

f. Manufacturing and production. Manufacturing andproduction activities require extensive land areas withlevel terrain to accommodate equipment, storage, andservice areas. These uses should have a direct route to anindustrial or service entrance to accommodate service andemployee traffic. Also, rail access will usually be requiredThese uses can be separated from other installationfunctions, although internal access to supply and maintenancefacilities is desirable. For facilities with sizable employ-ment, consideration should be given to locations whichhave good access to community and medical facilities.Facilities which require special security should be groupedtogether and appropriately separated from adjacent uses.

g. Research development and testing. These activitiesshare many characteristics with manufacturing and pro-duction facilities and have similar locational requirements.Uses which involve the handling or storage of hazardousmaterials should be well separated from other built-upareas of the installation.

h. Housing. Housing areas should be accessible torelated cammunity facilities, medical facilities, recreation,and training areas. They should be separate from otherintensive areas, but accessible using the internal installationroadway system In addition, troop housing and familyhousing have specific locational requirements.

(1) Troop housing. Troop housing areas includeliving quarters for enlisted personnel, non-commissionedofficers, and commissioned officers, as well as supportingservice, administrative, storage, and supply facilitiesrelated to housing. Troop housing should be accessible for

training facilities and provide adequate area for outdoorrecreation activities and vehicular parking Locationswhich allow the grouping of troop housing and which arewithin walking distance of commercial services andcommunity facilities are desirable. Primary access to troophousing areas should be separate from that to familyhousing areas.

(2) Family housing. Family housing areas shouldbe close to dependent schools, family recreation facilities,and community support facilities. Locations which havevisually attractive settings are desirable to foster thefeeling of a residential environment.

i. Operations. Operations activities such as airfieldshave specific requirements based upon type of aircraft,flight patterns, and activity levels. Aviation facilitiesshould be located to maintain necessary clearances andapproach zones. Detailed criteria for planning aviationfacilities can be found in TM 5–803-4 and DOD Instruction4165.57.

j. Recreation. Passive and active recreation areasshould be located in areas removed from training, operations,or maintenance activities. Recreation uses relate well tohousing areas and commercial service arid communityfacility centers and may be effectively co-located withthese uses. Open areas used for parades or reviews shouldbe located in highly visible and readily accessible locations,preferably associated with the installation’s primaryadministrative activity center.

k. Water areas. These areas should be shown on theLand Use Plan with an indication of their relationship tofuture kind uses.

1. Reserved land/buffer. Reserved areas may bedesignated to separate incompatible uses, to protectfragile ecosystems, as a safety measure around operationalor training uses, to discourage construction in areas withsevere physical limitations, or to provide a visual orauditory screen. These reserved or buffer areas should becarefully established, with the importance of their purposeclearly documented so that they will not be encroachedupon in the future.

4-4. Circulation Plana. The Circulation Plan identifies a desirable system

or major roadways which provides a coordinated andcomprehensive system of access for the installation. TheCirculation Plan identifies both existing and proposedroadways to serve the previously developed land usepattern shown in figure 4-1. The designated function ofroadways should be consistent with criteria for roadwayclassification ( TM 5-822–2), including primary, secondary,and tertiary. Where specifically required for the particularneeds of the installation, other minor roadway types, suchas patrol roads, should be included. An exhibit showingthe Circulation Plan is required in the Master PlanReport Figure 4-2 gives an example of this exhibit.Where practical, the Circulation Plan may be combinedwith the Land Use Plan as a single exhibit.

4-4

b. The Circulation Plan ideally will respond to traveldesire lines which link activities and correspond to majorfictional relationships and land use intensity. Majorroadways should separate rather than bisect functionaluse areas. The Plan should attempt to alleviate trafficcongestion at sensitive sites such as family housing,schools, and hospitals and should seek to reduce theimpact of noise and air pollutants in areas generating hightraffic volumes.

c. The general location and alignment of the roadwaysystem should be suited to the natural features of theinstallation and should respect environmental limitations.The following should be avoided

- Areas of steep slope, where roadway constructionwill require excessive cut and fill.

- Areas of extensive rock outcropping.- Disruption of major wooded areas.- Disruption of major natural drainage channels.- Wetland areas and extensive areas of unstable

soils.d The system should retain existing roadways and

facilities when possible. The use of existing streets as one-way pairs, with improved channelization or with othermodifications to increase capacity, should be consideredbefore new roadways are proposed

e. The Circulation Plan should provide direct accessfrom the installation to the surrounding highway networkthrough the main entrance (and secondary entrances ifappropriate to the size and function of the installation).Where major changes are proposed in the surroundinghighway network, including construction of a new facilityor major realignment of an existing facility, the CirculationPlan will include recommended changes in the location orextension of on-post roadways to maintain access to theregional highways.

f. Adequate space for off-street parking, based oncurrent DOD criteria, should be provided within eachland use area to eliminate the need for on-street parking.Where an exisitng lack of parking causes functionaldifiiculties, the Circulation Plan should offer opportunities toimprove parking facilities by changes in the surroundingroadways. Major roadways should not be planned toaccommodate on-street parking, unless no alternate solutioncan be found to meet a critical fictional need Groupingsof compatible activities within appropriate land use areasshould be considered to maximize use of multi-purposeparking facilities.

g. Where frequent access by service vehicles isrequired, such as supply and maintenance facilities, thePlan should provide sufficient space for internal serviceaccess and loading facilities so that roadways are not usedfor vehicular storage and loading. Access to individualoff-street service and loading areas should be from local orsecondary roads rather than major roadways. The Circu-lation Plan should provide direct routes from the main orsecondary entrance to land use areas requiring frequent

service, with vertical and horizontal clearance to accom-modate truck traffic. These routes should not be near landuses sensitive to vehicular noise and exhaust emissions.

h. The Circulation Plan should provide for secureaccess points to the installation and, as necessary, toindividual land use areas involving hazardous or restrictedoperations. These access points should be located in areaswith enough space to allow security clearance facilities tofunction without impinging on through traffic movements.Roadways which are likely to be frequented by visitorsand off-post population should not be located close torestricted areas. The effects on area transportation inclosing the post to unauthorized traffic during emergencyconditions should be considered.i. Generators of significant pedestrian traffic such as

community centers, schools, and recreation facilitiesrequire safe and convenient walkways and bikewaysconnecting them with housing areas and other functionalactivities. The Circulation Plan should ensure that sufficientright-of-way is available to accommodate pedestrianwalkways with adequate separation from vehicular trafficalong major roadways.

j. At installations where rail access is necessary toprovide for movement of troops or material. the CirculationPlan should identify the existing rail system and anychanges required to accommodate projected traffic relativeto the proposed location of functions. Locations of newtracks should not require disruption of existing operationsand should minimize conflict with vehicular traffic atrailroad/roadway crossings. Removal of under-utilizedrail facilities should be considered to improve land userelationships or circulation.

4-5. Utility Service Plansa The Utility Service Plans consist of graphic displays

prepared for each major utility system servingthe installationThe display for each utility will illustrate the extent of thesystem needed to meet the service requirements of theland use areas in the most efficient manner. Thesedisplays resolve problems identified for each existingutility system and support the Land Use Plan for long-range development.

b. The Utility Service Plans identify improvementsto the trunk systems, including general location andcapacity of extended main lines; general placement andcapacity of intermediate equipment; and type and generalplacement of other new or expanded main elements ifrequired The Plans will be consistent with the appropriatetechnical manuals and bulletins for each utility systemand will also

- Retain, to the maximum extent possible, existingfacilities to meet future requirements.

- Designate future service areas to maximize use of available capacities.

- Expand existing facilities where cost effective toprovide additional service.

CHAPTER 5ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT

5-1. Assessment elementsThe Environmental Assessment (EA) consists of threeelements. These elements are (a) an analysis of theanticipated environmental impacts of implementation ofthe long-range plan; (b) identification of appropriatemitigation measures; (c) and documentation of the resultsof this analysis in the Master Plan Report

5-2. Analysis methodologya. Each of the environmental factors related to the

installation and identified by data collection and analysisshould be re-evaluated in light of the long-range plan. Thisevaluation will consist of:

(1) Identification of those environmental factorswhich are most likely to be sensitive to physical changeson the installation.

(2) Identification of the probable short-term effectsof Plan implementation on these sensitive factors.

(3) Identification of the probable long-term effectof Plan implementation on these sensitive factors.

b. All previously prepared environmental documentswill be reviewed to ensure the accuracy and completenessof the above evaluation.

c. The severity and significance of probable impactsthen should be determined for each environmental factorbeing evaluated The results of this evaluation should berecorded either in a narrative’ form in a table with briefaccompanying notes.

d After probable impacts have been identified andthe level of impact severity determined, mitigation measuresshould be considered The nature of these measures willdepend upon the type of environmental impact anticipatedand the nature of the Plan proposal which will cause theimpact Mitigation measures to be considered include

(1) Reconfiguration, reorienation, or relocation ofthe incompatible land use or facility. This could require analteration of the Land Use Plan and if so, most likelywould have been accomplished during the planning process.

(2) Identification of special measures to protectthreatened resources. These measures might include

Noise attenuation provisions such as berms, walls,

or soundproofing of buildings.– Special construction techniques to prevent or

minimize stormwater or wastewater runoff into receivingstreams.

Landscaping provisions to prevent erosion, providescreening or enhance natural or cultural assets or vistas.

- Designation of no-development areas to protectarchaeological sites. endangered species habitat, virginforests, wetlands, or former landfill areas for encroachment.

Identification of the need, prior to Plan imple-mentation, for more intensive study of one or moreenvironmental conflicts.

5-3. DocumentationThe results of the EA process will be documented andincluded in the Master Plan Report The environmentaldocumentation should be brief but complete in that allconcerns, regardless of level of impact, must be addressedThe documentation may be completely in narrative form;however, it is often useful to prepare and include in theReport a matrix similar to the example given in figure 5-1.If a matrix is used then the narrative need only addressthose environmental impacts which are significant and forwhich mitigation is required The appropriate mitigationmeasures may require special attention in the developmentof the General Site Plan ( see chapter 6). The Master PlanEA must lead to either a Finding of No Significant Impact(FNSI) or a finding requiring the preparation of anEnvironmental Impact Statement (EIS). The format forthe EA finding will be in accordance with AR 200-2.

a. The FNSI will briefly describe the reasons why theMaster Plan will not have a significant effect on the humanenvironment and will not be subject to an EIS.

b. The finding requiring the preparation of an EISwill be stated in the EA. However, the EIS itself will beseparate document and a separate work effort from theMaster Plan.

c. The Master Plan Report is the overall assessmentfor the installation providing a framework for the projector program EA as required by the program developmentregulations. Site-specific EAs for a project or programwill reference pertinent data from this Master Plan EA.

CHAPTER 6FUTURE DEVELOPMENT SITE MAP

0-1. Basic principles. a. The Future Development Site Map shows the

location of all proposed buildings and facilities identifiedin the TERF to support the mission of the installation. The

. manner, content, and symbols used to prepare this standardsize map is contained in TB ENG 353. This chapterdescribes the procedures to be followed in siting newbuildings and facilities on the installation to ensure thatthe proposed sitings are in accordance with the policiesand plans of the Master Plan Report.

b. The siting of new facilities is to be governed by thefollowing basic principles

(1) The location of all proposed installation buildingsand facilities should be coordinate regardless of fundingsource or responsible agency.

(2) The functional and spatial relationships estab-lished in the Land Use Plan should be preserved.

(3). Flexibility must be maintained to meet changedrequirements within land use areas.

(4) Conflicts with existing facilities should beprevented and compatibility with adjacent uses should besought.

6-2. Methodsa. Preparation of the Future Development Site Map

includes the following basic steps: a review of the previouslydeveloped Land Use, Circulation, and Utility ServicePlans; summarizing all future building and facility requirements; developing “footprints” of proposed facilities; and

, locating these “footprints’* on the plan sheets based uponsite planning principles and considerations. This processfocuses on the location and spatial arrangement of indivi-dual buildings and facilities within established land useareas.

b. When preparing the Future Development SiteMap, maximum use should be made of Existing ConditionMaps, plans, and other special studies. Existing conditionsmaps, especially the Development Constraint Map, providedetailed information about the installation. This includesinformation relating to existing buildings (permanent,

‘---

semipermanent, temporary), topographic features, anddevelopment constraints such as quantity safety distancearcs, noise contours, or floodplain. The Land Use andCirculation Plans, as discussed in chapter 4, define theproposed functional land use relationships as well as themajor elements of the circulation system.

c. The primary source of building and facility require-ments is the TERF. The TERF. identifies additional spacerequirements which have been developed based uponstandard Department of Defense space allowances andplanning criteria. Using the space requirements identified inthe TERF, a list of additional facilities by category codeshould be prepared. This list should identify the scope ofeach project and indicate whether it is an addition to anexisting facility or construction of a new facility. Thissummary should include all long-range and short-rangefacility requirements regardless of funding source ofresponsible agency.

d. The next step involves the translation of the variousfacility requirements into typical building “footprint” to beshown on Future Development Site Map. A “footprint” isa representation of the proposed facility in plan view. Thebuilding “footprint” does not need to be based upondetailed facility planning or design, but should representthe size and shape of a typical facility of the type proposed(see figure 6-1 ). For a one-story building, the “footprint”will reflect the entire square footage of the requiredfacility. For multi-story buildings, the area of the " footprint’”will be in proportion to the number of floors relative to thetotal square footage of the building. A building” footprint”can be approximate or exact depending on the informationavailable. Projects identified in the short-range MilitaryConstruction, Army (MCA) program will probably havemore detailed information available. Standard buildingdesigns have been identified for certain types of structuresand should be used when appropriate. Other facilitiesshown on the Future Development Site Map include newroads, parking lots, storm drainage retention basin,electrical substation, ball fields, etc. These facilities alsohave typical “footprints” which are reflective of theirfunction and use.

6-1

6-2

TM 5-803-1

e. beating the “footprint” of all proposed facilitiesand buildings on the Future Development Site Map is thenext step. This step is illustrated on figure 6-2. Facilitieswhich have the most critical loctional requirements related tothe installation’s mission should be sited first, followed bythe remaining facilities. The location of facility’s “foot-print” within an appropriate land use area is based partlyupon the functionai requirement for that facility and thesiting criteria contained in paragraph 6-3. The analysisinvolved will vary depending upon the complexity and

scope of the facilities being sited The siting of a singlebuilding requires only minimum analysis whereas thesiting of an entire complex of buildings may requiredevelopment and analysis of alternative site plans. Theselection of a location from among several alternatesshould be based on achieving the most desirable fictionalrelationships. As building locations are determined, siteaccess, off-street parking areas and other site-supportingfeatures should be determined.

‘ L .

6-3

6-3. Siting considerationsa. In locating the “footprints” of proposed buildings

.

and facilities on the Site Map, generally accepted siteplanning principles should be followed. Though sitingconsiderations will differ depending upon the type ofproject, the following items should be considered

(1) Building relationships.(a) Buildings should be related in groups. A

major challenge is the introduction of new buildings withinexisting building groupings. Essential considerations in-clude the provision of site access; separation of auto,pedestrian and service traffic; the functional and visualarrangement of space between buildings proportion to anincrease the establishment of a compatible building scalearchitectural character, and provision for future growth andexpansion.

(b) Distance between buildings should be relatedto the height and bulk of surrounding structures in additionto providing the minimum spacing to meet fire protectionstandards. The distance between buildings should increasein height and bulk of adjoining buildings.

(c) Facilities which serve large numbers ofpeople should be sited for maximum visibility and exposurewithin a building grouping. Also, facilities with intensiveuse should be oriented so that the points of access will bereadily identifiable. Visually prominent sites should alsobe considered for buildings of symbolic importance, suchas the Post Headquarters or the Chapel.

(d) The open space network of a building groupshould be coordinated with the open space system of theinstallation

(e) Cluster development patterns which facilitatejoint use of common areas should be considered

(f) Proposed buildings and facilities should besited to ensure compatibility with adjacent land uses.

(2) Roadways, site access, and parking. The roadnetwork should clearly reflect the service and accessrequirements of the proposed buildings and facilities.Proposed facilities should provide sufficient right-of-way

to accommodate roadway widening as long-term development occurs Major street intersections should be arrangedat right angles and with adequate width and site distances.Offset intersections less than 125 feet apart should beavoided The number of access points to primary road-ways should be minimized and on-street parking should beprohibited on primary and secondary roadways. Unneededstreets should be vacated to consolidate building sites.Access parking areas should be coordinated so thatvehicular pedestrian conflicts are avoided Internal vehicularcirculation should be coordinated to serve a group ofbuildings. Parking areas which are able to serve severaladjacent facilities should be combined Parking areasshould be screened and landscaped to reduce visualimpact on adjacent areas and service areas should belocated so that they are screened from roadways andadjacent uses.

(3) Utilities and drainage. In siting utility anddrainage facilities, conflicts with existing major utilitylines should be avoided in order to minimize developmentcost. All buildings and facilities should be located on well-drained sites and not in major drainage courses.

(4) Energy conservation. Prevailing winds, solarorientation and micro-climatic conditions should beconsidered in facility siting in order to allow for conservationof energy and user comfort and convenience.

b. Environmental/safety restrictions such as explosivequantity safety distances, noise contours, airfield andhelipad safety zones, historical buildings or places, archeo-logical sites, sensitive natural areas, unsuitable soils, andrange surface danger zones should be considered whensiting proposed buildings and facilities. When applicable,these environmental/safety restrictions will be shown onthe Future Development Site Map. Even though theserestrictions have been considered during development ofthe Land Use Plan, they should be reviewed to be sure thatall constraints have been taken into consideration in sitingindividual buildings.

CHAPTER 7PROJECT PHASING MAP

‘--=-.

.

.

7-1. ObjectivesThe Project Phasing Map is a separate document pre-pared as part of the Installation Master Plan. It is preparedand submitted annually in accordance with the requirementsofAR21 &20. The Project Phasing Map shows theshort-range facility requirements (immediate five years)necessary to implement the Master Plain The basisobjective of the Project Phasing Map is to outline aflexible short-term program of projects which are linked toand based on the long-term recommendations of theMaster Plan Repofi To support this short-term progranLother objectives of the Prqject Phasing Map are todetermine which of the wide range of potential long-rangeimprovements have the highest priority for implernentatiomident@ the level of allocated fimds or other availabletiding resources to implement plan recommendations;and provide a means by which annual developmentprograms can be evaluated for conformance with long-and short-term objectives.

7-2. Identification of projects~ The first step in preparation of the Project Phasing

Map is to identify those facility construction projectsrequired for future development of the installation inaccordance with the Master Plan. Projects based uponTERF report and the Future Development Plans shouldbe listed The list should include

Required buildings and facilities not now providedat the installation.

Improvements to existing buildings and facilitiesnecessary to meet functional requirements.

Replacement of inadquate existing buildings andfacilities.

Extension or replacement of existing utility servicelines or facilities.

Widening reconstmctio~ or extension of existingroadways.

- New roadway constructionMajor maintenance and repair projects.

b. The scope of the projects will become the basic

data for the evaluation and selection of priorities forprojects to be included on the Project Phasing Map.Where a project can logically be programmed in two ormore stages, project phasing should be considered in orderto make the most effective use of available resources.

7-3. Evaluation and selection ofprojects

a The listed projects should be evaluated to determinetheir priority for construction within the next five years.The selected projects should be grouped in related setswhich cmy out specific development objectives of theMaster Plan and effectively support the mission of theinstallation The relative ranking or priority of projectsshould be based on the extent to which the project carriesout a specific objective identified in the Master PlanRepo@ would resolve a current problem or need is
