TITLE:
Update on Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) Re: Naval Observatory Flagstaff Station and Camp Navajo and a request to appoint two Council members to serve on the Policy Committee.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Receive and discuss information regarding the Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) and appoint two Councilmembers to serve on the JLUS Policy Committee.
Executive Summary:
Coconino County will be the local sponsor of a Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) for the US Naval Observatory and Camp Navajo. As stated in information provided by the Navy and the Department of Defense, the purpose of a JLUS is to prevent incompatible uses surrounding military installations that may interfere with the ability to complete the mission of the facility and to limit impacts of the installation on surrounding property owners. The results of a JLUS could have great value in informing what uses are appropriate within activity centers located on the west side of town, within closer proximity to the Naval Observatory. The Flagstaff Regional Plan calls for completing specific plans for each activity center. It is unknown if the results of the JLUS will recommend removing exiting development rights on properties in the area.
It is staff's understanding that the Naval Observatory initiated the application with the support of the County as project sponsor. A draft scope of work has been prepared by Coconino County and is attached to this report. Deputy County Manager Neal Young is the current project manager.

Financial Impact:
At this time no funding is being requested. While a local match for the grant to fund the JLUS is required, it is anticipated that it will be provided using in-kind services. Staff time spent working on the JLUS can be provided as the local match.
