"The Davis-Monthan Air Force Base JLUS is part of the Arizona Military Regional Compatibility Project ... a proactive statewide endeavor to convene the stakeholders around each base--the relevant jurisdictions, base personnel, landowners, and other interested parties--to address land use compatibility issues.... Development of incompatible land uses in the vicinity of Arizona's military facilities constrains their ability to perform ... missions. The State of Arizona ... enacted Growing Smarter and Growing Smarter Plus measures that address growth and land development issues through changes in community planning and rezoning processes. These measures require political jurisdictions with property within territory in the vicinity of a military airport ... to include consideration of military airport operations in their General Plans and Comprehensive Plans and to allow an opportunity for official comment by the military airport officials on the General Plans. The Growing Smarter statute requires that plans provide for a rational pattern of land development and an extensive public participation program. Compliance with these Growing Smarter and Growing Smarter Plus objectives serves as a key guiding principle for the overall Arizona Military Regional Compatibility Project as well as in the preparation of this JLUS"--Page 1-1.
