The purpose of this project is as follows: The NSA Crane JLUS final report identified several specific recommendations that involve voluntary participation by the public in programs to prevent incompatible development within the three-mile perimeter that might negatively impact NSA Crane missions. Additional information and effort is needed to address the specific NSA Crane JLUS recommendations identified as: AT-1B, BIO-1A, BIO-1B and LU-1C. This effort will address several items by gathering and assessing data at the parcel level within the three-mile buffer around NSA Crane and LGTF, Page 6 of 18 identifying parcels with the highest development potential, meeting with stakeholders and educating the public on optional programs for land use conservation and identifying means for landowners to become engaged in such programs. The overall intent is to help preserve the missions at NSA Crane and LGTF by inviting the public to participate in compatible land use programs.

Project Description

Buffer Zone Map of Parcels — Develop a Buffer zone map with various GIS layers. The map must show existing land use status for parcels within the three-mile perimeter of NSA Crane and LGTF. The Buffer zone map will utilize the latest web-based technology to create a map site that is user friendly, simple to use, and provides detailed information about the three-mile buffer.

Optimized Compatible Land Use Programs — Program research will utilize the current land attributes to identify a list of potential compatible land use incentive programs that are relevant to land owners within the three-mile perimeter. The chosen provider will provide and document details on each program sufficient to inform the landowners of their options.

Compatible Land Use Programs Outreach — The provider shall facilitate a series of public outreach meetings to inform residents and landowners of these options. The public outreach efforts must convey the voluntary nature of the programs to the landowners and how they contribute to the environment and military compatibility. Outreach must be sufficient to make large numbers of landowners exposed to new information that may lead them to voluntarily enroll their property in such programs.

The provider will modify the existing www.cranejlus.com website to host the Buffer zone map. A technical report will be developed to include results of all research, analysis, conclusions, points of contacts and summary level and detailed level information. GIS products created or provided shall be compatible with Esri Desktop, Server, and Cloud solutions. Data obtained should be, unless otherwise approved, in File Geodatabase format or Shapefile, based on business requirements. Data sets shall be obtained from authoritative sources and current. Update schedules should be included in Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) compliant metadata.
