Simply, purchasing cooperatives allow for substantial savings to be realized by volume purchasing of specific commodity items.

CITY OF SCHERTZ, TEXAS By: _______________________________ Date: __________________ Steve Williams City Manager THE SCHERTZ HOUSING AUTHORITY By: Date: __________________ ___________________, Chairman of the Board Agenda No. 6.   CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM    City Council Meeting:September 16, 2025 Department:Finance Subject: Resolution 25-R-122 - Authorizing the EMS, Utility Billing, Schertz Magazine, and Library debt revenue adjustments (S.Gonzalez/J.Walters) BACKGROUND In the EMS, Utility Billing, Library and Magazine functions, services are provided to customers up front and billing is settled later. Since services are provided before receiving payment, inevitably the City has customers that do not pay for the services provided. When this occurs, staff reaches out to the customer to try to collect the outstanding payment including follow-up notices and phone calls to try to reach out to the customer to remind them of the outstanding balance and encourage payment. However, the longer the customer account goes without a payment the less likely that any payment will be received. Once a customer account reaches 180 days without activity, Staff brings those accounts to the City Council to be “written off”. This process is an accounting procedure following the Generally Accepted Accounted Principles (GAAP), which lays the framework of accounting practices in the U.S. This designation means it is unlikely those outstanding balances will ever be collected. This leads to an accounting adjustment on the City’s Financial Statements to accurately show how much is still outstanding and is reasonable to expect collection. If a customer’s account has been written off, this does not erase or forgive that debt. The city can and does collect some portion of the amount owed by those customers. This can be through the debt collection agency used by EMS or if the customer returns to the City and requests new services through the Magazine or Utility Billing. On August 27, 2019, City Council approved the Schertz EMS Charity Care Policy.  Approving the Charity Care Policy benefits our citizens who do not have insurance and do not have the ability to pay for ambulance services.  In the past, these accounts were sent to collections and written off throughout year with little expectation to recover any revenue.     The Library write offs are for items which are deemed no longer collectible. Staff had not included these Library items in the past, but they are now being reviewed. The accounts Staff feels cannot be collected will come before council in the quarterly write-off requests. As of September 2025, there is $141,493.79 in past charges that are being evaluated by the Library Staff for potential collection. For this write-off, staff is proposing to write off $46,647.34 of that amount from 2018 to September 2021. The resolution authorizes the debt for these areas that is more than 180 days outstanding as of March 1, 2025, to be written off. These write-offs come before council quarterly and last came before council on April 15, 2025. Previous Write off Amount:  March 2021:$1,330,234.88 June 2021:$904,511.15 September 2021:$750,502.47 December 2021:$587.362.56 March 2022:$675,977.28 June 2022:$564,972.72 September 2022:$842,197.07 December 2022:$660,162.69 March 2023:$709,180.00 June 2023:$629,399.75 September 2023:$1,043,989.48 December 2023:$736,479.42 March 2024:$939,856.26 June 2024:$786,518.97 September 2024:$755,410.63 December 2024:$718,424.29 March 2025:$1,345,608.95 June 2025:$ ---- September 2025:$1,654,478.02 For September 2025, the amount includes write-off amounts for both June and September 2025.  GOAL To approve write-offs of bad debt in accordance with the standards laid out by GAAP.  COMMUNITY BENEFIT This will show the City's Financial Statements according to national standards and City policy.  SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION Approve Resolution No. 25-R-122 to write off receivables that are older than 180 days.  FISCAL IMPACT This accounting adjustment will not affect the City’s Budget or financial standing. The amount written off is estimated during the budget process and is accounted for in the revenue estimations and the bad debt expense accounts. The action taken tonight will reduce the amount shown as owed to the City by $1,654,478.02 and set it equal to the amount seen as still reasonably collectible. The breakdown is as follows: EMS - $999,506.52 EMS Charity Care - $564,470.70 Utility Billing - $43,853.46 Library - $46,647.34 Magazine - $0.00 The Library write offs are for items from 2018 through September 2021 which are deemed no longer collectible. Staff had not included these Library items in the past, but they are now being reviewed.

CITY OF SCHERTZ, TEXAS ___________________________ Ralph Gutierrez, Mayor ATTEST: _____________________________ Sheila Edmondson, TRMC City Secretary Agenda No. 11.   CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM    City Council Meeting:September 16, 2025 Department:Finance Subject:Ordinance 25-T-038 - Authorizing an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Budget (S.Gonzalez/J.Walters) BACKGROUND The City's Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-2025 Budget was adopted with Ordinance 24-T-150. The budget outlines how the city will spend its annual revenues to best serve the community. The budget can be modified by council authorization when necessary throughout the year. As previously directed, staff will try to limit the number of budget adjustments that come to council throughout the year by bundling different budget requests together in one adjustment ordinance. This adjustment will adjust the budgets of multiple departments as needed, including to fund projects as previously authorized by the City Council. This adjustment will be for multiple departments. This adjustment will move funds between departments as well as recognize additional sales taxes and fees to balance specific line items in the budget. The Police Budget would increase by $546,959.00 due to lower than expected vacancy rates and funding the remaining portion of the School Resource Officers approved in Ordinance 25-T-016. With the pay adjustments in FY 2023-24, police has seen much lower vacancy rates, being able to fill positions faster and reduce turnover. The budget was created with old trends in place which reduced the Police personnel budget from full year-round employment to an amount based on historic trends. This year beat those trends and the adjustment will be evaluated for an update over the next year. The City Council Budget would increase by $90,000.00 due to the higher election costs incurred from the special elections and run-off election. The City had 3 different elections in this fiscal year that were not budgeted. This includes the normal November election, the special December Election and the run-off in January. The Pools Budget would increase by $42,000.00 for the utility and repair costs incurred. Additional repairs were required above the normal budget. The water utility budget was also over due to these issues. The Finance Budget would increase by $6,000.00 for investment management fees incurred with higher levels of investment. Additional funds were invested with Hancock Whitney who serves as an Investment Advisor for the City to increase returns. Fees are based on the amount invested, causing higher fees in this fiscal year. The City would increase the Building Maintenance Division Budget by $20,000.00 for repair and maintenance supplies used in the fiscal year. Additional maintenance was done throughout the year including Library Carpet Cleaning, baby changing stations, and inspections for potential building issues. The Projects/Transfer Out Budget would increase by $248,292.00 for the remaining General Fund portion allocated for the Pedestrian Routes and Sidewalk Project funded by a combination of grants, debt, and General Fund contribution. This was the sidewalk and road improvements done to Live Oak debt, and General Fund contribution. This was the sidewalk and road improvements done to Live Oak Road. Staff has finished its review of expenditures and ensured all pending grant payments to the City were received. The General Fund portion was originally funded from a previous year's Park Budget but had not been moved while staff waited to finish their review of final expenditures. Offsetting some of the increases, the Legal Services Budget would be reduced $10,000.00 to match actual expenditures and other reductions from Public Affairs Budget $15,000.00 for personnel, the Engineering Budget $8,835.00 for personnel, and the Streets Budget $40,000.00 for personnel vacancy. Offsetting the remainder of the increase, staff proposes to recognize an additional $879,416 of sales taxes that came in over the original estimates. May, July, and August sales taxes received from the State were much higher than originally estimated. After review, staff determined these higher amounts were due to large one-time investments being made by existing business and would not be new recurring monthly contributions. These one-time amounts were high enough for the City to meet its budget in June, making the final quater of the fiscal year sales taxes be above what was expected. While some of these funds would cover other revenue shortfalls, such as property taxes, staff proposes to use $879,416 to fund the additional expenditures in this budget adjustment. The Parks Budget would increase by $55,000.00 for lower than expected personnel vacancy and recognize an additional $55,000.00 in fees related to 4th of July Jubilee proceeds, Senior Center Meals, BVYA and SYSA utility payments, and recreation programs to offset the increase. These expenditures and revenues were included in the 5-year forecast done in coordination with the FY 2025-26 Budget and Tax Rate planning and are in line with those estimates. GOAL To adjust the budget and align additional revenues to expenditures for FY 2024-2025.  COMMUNITY BENEFIT To maintain a complete and balanced budget as identified as a goal in the City's Strategic Plan and that meets State and Charter requirements.  SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION Staff recommends approval of Ordinance 25-T-038  FISCAL IMPACT The budget adjustment will increase the General Fund Budget for FY 2024-25 by $934,416. This will be offset by $879,416 in additional sales taxes received and $55,000 in additional Park fees above expectations. The impacts of these changes were included in the 5 year forecast when creating the FY 2025-26 Budget.  RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of Ordinance 25-T-038  Attachments Ordinance 25-T-038 Amending the Budget Adjustment Breakdown ORDINANCE NO. 25-T-038 AN ORDINANCE BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SCHERTZ, TEXAS AUTHORIZING AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025 BUDGET, REPEALING ALL ORDINANCES OR PARTS OF ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT WITH THIS ORDINANCE; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE WHEREAS, pursuant to Ordinance 24-T-150, the City of Schertz (the “City”) adopted the budget for the City for the fiscal year 2024-2025 (the “Budget), which provides funding for the City’s operations throughout the 2024-2025 fiscal year; and WHEREAS, the City needs to authorized budget amounts of $934,416.00 for expenditures approved by contract or direction during the 2024-25 Fiscal Year ; and WHEREAS, City staff recommends that the City Council of the City adjust the Budget and approve the ordinance; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City has determined that it is in the be st interest of the City to adjust the and re-authorize the funds as more fully set forth in this Ordinance.

In late 2014, the City entered into the Southern Plan Wastewater Services and Funding Agreement By and Among Cibolo Creek Municipal Authority, City of Schertz and City of Cibolo to provide for construction of the CCMA South Sewer Treatment Plant. There was a subsequent amendment and a related agreement also approved. The effect of the agreements is that CCMA would build a 500,000-gallons per day sewer treatment plant. Schertz would pay the bonds for the first 10 years. Cibolo would have to decide by late 2023 whether they would opt in to the plant - if they did they would have rights to half of the capacity, but would pay half of the cost (splitting the next 10 years bond payments with Schertz and paying the last 10 themselves). If they did not opt in, Schertz would pay all of the bond costs, but have rights to all of the capacity.In December 2022, the City and Green Valley Municipal Utility District (GVSUD) entered into a mediated settlement agreement. Per that agreement, the City assigned 75,000 gallons per day to GVSUD at not cost and agreed to provide another 50,000 gallons per day with GVSUD paying Schertz's cost for this capacity. So, in total, the City gave up 125,000 gallons per day of capacity to GVSUD. Cibolo asked for a few extensions to make their decision, but ultimately in early 2024 they opted in. As such, they have rights to half of the 500,000 gallons per day of capacity.As a result of this, Schertz has only 125,000 gallons per day of capacity in the plant. At present, only Schertz is contributing flows to the plant.With the Woman Hollering Creek Trunk Line and Lift Station coming online in the last few months, Schertz staff has been able to calculate actual flows from wastewater that was being treated by the Crossvine batch plant, was being pumped and hauled, and from projects that came online at the same time. As a result, Schertz is already using its allocated 125,000 gallons per day of capacity. There are a number of projects in process that would have to lift up north to the OJR Plant or provide for pump and haul if the City does not obtain more capacity.Schertz has reached out to Cibolo and GVSUD about utilizing their capacity until the plant can be expanded. Schertz has initiated conversations with CCMA and the City of Cibolo about the need to expand the plant. Also, per the settlement agreement, CCMA is required to notify GVSUD about the contemplated expansion so they can determine if they want to participate. Schertz anticipates needing an additional approximately 1,250,000 gallons per day want to participate. Schertz anticipates needing an additional approximately 1,250,000 gallons per day of capacity.   GOAL Provide for the City's strategic goal of developing and maintaining water, wastewater and drainage infrastructure.  COMMUNITY BENEFIT Provide for the efficient treatment of wastewater.  SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION Approval of Resolution 25-R-129 authorizing an Interlocal Agreement with the Cibolo Creek Municipal Authority for the expansion of the south wastewater treatment plant.  FISCAL IMPACT The agreement provides the City must give prior approval to any bond issuance. At that time costs will be finalized. The estimated cost to the City of the improvements for design and construction is currently estimated to be $24.5 million for an additional 1.375 million gallons per day.  RECOMMENDATION Approval of Resolution 25-R-129.  Attachments Resolution 25-R-129 with attachment South plant expansion presentation April 15 CCMA South WWTP Expansion City Council Meeting April 15, 2025 South Plant WWTP Permit per TCEQ •These are the phases identified in the current CCMA discharge permit up to 3 MGD •Interim Phase 1 (Current Phase) •0.5 MGD (million gallons per day) •3,225 LUEs worth of capacity (living unit equivalents, or single-family residences) •Interim Phase 2 •1 MGD •6,450 LUEs •Final Phase •3 MGD •19,350 LUEs •The plant can be expanded to any capacity between 1 MGD and 3 MGD with a minor amendment to the permit •Expansion of the plant beyond 3 MGD will require a major amendment CCMA South Plant WWTP Service Area Demand for Wastewater Service – West of Cibolo Creek • The following table reflects City of Schertz commitments to be served by the CCMA South Plant WWTP. •Residential developments that flow to the CCMA South Plant are highlighted by red outline.

The Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph (JBSA-Randolph) Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) is a joint effort between the cities of Cibolo, Converse, Garden Ridge, Live Oak, San Antonio, Schertz, Selma, and Seguin, and the counties of Bexar and Guadalupe, and JBSA-Randolph. The JLUS was undertaken in an effort to guide planning and development in local jurisdictions surrounding JBSA-Randolph, JBSA-Seguin Auxiliary Airfield (JBSA-Seguin), and the Stinson Municipal Airport (Stinson). JBSA-Randolph is a flying training wing asset in the United States Air Force and the Air Education Training Command. Because these activities are vital to continuing the military mission at JBSA-Randolph, the land used for the activities must be protected. Landowners with property near JBSA-Randolph, JBSA-Seguin,Stinson, and residents and businessowners on property surrounding these facilities must also be protected from adverse impacts that could occur due to training activities performed at these facilities. Joint planning efforts on the part of the local governments and JBSA-Randolph will establish recommended strategies that will equally protect all interested parties. The JLUS for JBSA-Randolph has resulted in a set of strategy recommendations in the areas of legislation, policy, planning and zoning, coordination and communication, acquisition, and outreach. A set of strategies was provided to address each JBSA-Randolph Compatibility Factor. Priorities were set initially to help determine when the strategies would be implemented, either within two years, five years, or longer than five years. One of the key recommendations is the formation of a JLUS Implementation Task Force that will be responsible for overseeing implementation in the months and years following the JLUS completion. The recommended strategies are outlined in more detail in Chapter 6 of this report. Additionally, a Background Report was prepared in conjunction with the JLUS that details the compatibility issues and process integral to the development of the strategies. These recommendations address the need for increased coordination and communication between JBSA-Randolph, local governments, regional agencies, and the public. They also seek to address public health, safety, and welfare, and protection of quality of life in the areas surrounding JBSA-Randolph and its sub-facilities. The collaborative spirit of the JLUS is an effective starting point for a continued collaborative planning and communication effort between all involved parties. Why Prepare a JLUS? 1.1 A JLUS is necessary to ensure the future compatibility between land uses in surrounding communities necessary to support the continuation of the military mission at JBSA-Randolph and the increasing development occurring proximate to the installation. JBSA-Randolph is one of the three noncontiguous installations that comprise Joint Base San Antonio located in Bexar County. JBSA-Randolph is home to the 12th Flying Training Wing (FTW) whose primary mission is to provide basic pilot training and instructor pilot training to airmen. In addition, JBSA-Randolph is Headquarters for Air Education Training Command (AETC) whose mission is to develop airmen of today and tomorrow through various education disciplines and training activities. Page 1 Economic Benefit to the 1.2 Region In addition to being a critical flying training asset in the United States Air Force (USAF), JBSA-Randolph is also an important economic engine contributing to the local and regional economies through annual payroll, annual expenditures, and value of jobs created. The JLUS assists in preserving the continued economic benefit that JBSA-Randolph provides. In 2012, JBSA-Randolph generated over $1.3 billion in local and regional economic impact and supported and served over 17,000 personnel. The $1.3 billion in impact is broken down into three categories: annual payroll at $892.1 million, annual expenditures (i.e. contracts and operations and maintenance) procured at $190.3 million, and value of jobs created at $314.5 million. Compatibility Concerns 1.3 At JBSA-Randolph, the compatibility concerns relate to the growing population and expansion of developed land taking place in the incorporated communities surrounding the Joint Base. Over the past 10 years, the local communities surrounding JBSA-Randolph have increased by 60 percent from a base population of nearly 82,000 (from the communities surrounding the base and facilities excluding the City of San Antonio) to over 131,000 by the year 2010. While the regional area is expected to grow at a slow, steady rate for the next 20 years, the areas surrounding the base are growing rapidly. Such growth has the potential to cause development and infrastructure to be located in areas that are adjacent to or proximate to JBSA-Randolph. While adjacent development exists in various locations along the installation perimeter, without proper oversight and guidance, this continued pattern of development could unintentionally jeopardize the USAF’s ability to train its airmen, especially in newer aircraft systems. JLUS Goal and Objectives 1.4 The goal of the JBSA-Randolph JLUS is to protect the viability of current and future military training operations, while simultaneously guiding community growth, sustaining the environmental and economic health of the region, and protecting public health, safety, and welfare. To achieve this goal, three primary JLUS objectives were identified: Understanding. Convene community and military representatives to identify, confirm, and understand compatibility issues in an open forum, taking into consideration both community and JBSA-Randolph perspectives and needs. This includes public awareness, education, and input organized into a cohesive outreach program. Collaboration. Encourage cooperative land use and resource planning among JBSA-Randolph and the surrounding communities so that future community growth and development are compatible with the training and operational missions at JBSA-Randolph seeking ways to reduce operational impacts on adjacent land proximate and within the study area. Actions. Provide a set of mutually supported tools, activities, and procedures from which local jurisdictions, agencies, and JBSA-Randolph can select, prepare, and approve / adopt and use to implement the recommendations developed during the JLUS process. The actions include both operational measures to mitigate installation impacts on surrounding communities and local government and agency approaches to reduce community impacts on military operations. JLUS Partners 1.5 As highlighted in the objectives stated previously, the JBSA-Randolph JLUS process was designed to create a locally relevant study that builds consensus and obtains support from the various stakeholders involved. To Page 2 achieve the stated JLUS goal and objectives, the planning process included a public outreach program that utilized a variety of opportunities for interested parties to contribute to the development of the study. Stakeholders include individuals, groups, organizations, and government entities interested in, affected by, or affecting the outcome of the JLUS project. An early step in any planning process is the identification of stakeholders. Informing or involving them early in the project is essential in the identification of their most important issues to address and resolve through the development of integrated strategies and measures. Stakeholders identified for the JBSA-Randolph JLUS included, but were not limited to, the following: JBSA-Randolph and JBSA personnel; Local jurisdictions (cities, counties and metropolitan planning organizations); Other partner agencies and organizations, such as local, regional, and state planning, regulatory, and land management agencies; landholding and regulatory federal agencies; landowner and realty associations; and other special interest groups (including local educational institutions and school districts); The general public, including residents and landowners. These groups of stakeholders played a critical role in the development of the JBSA-Randolph JLUS and Background Report. Their input provided comprehensive, technical guidance relevant to their jurisdiction’s policies, regulations, culture, and values. The JBSA-Randolph stakeholder groups helped shape the various strategies identified in this document. Local Communities 1.6 This JLUS could not have been possible without the effort provided by the 11 communities participating in this study illustrated on Figure 1: Bexar County City of Converse City of Garden Ridge City of Live Oak City of San Antonio City of Schertz City of Selma City of Universal City Guadalupe County City of Cibolo City of Seguin In addition to the partners listed above, the JBSA-Randolph JLUS partnered with other agencies and organizations that provide a state, regional and / or community perspective. These partners brought to the study a vast, expert knowledge base in varying disciplines, including regional transportation practices, natural resources, and local “on-the-ground” perspective relevant to the unique land features and land ownership patterns. A complete listing of affiliated stakeholder groups that played a vital role in the development of the JBSA-Randolph JLUS includes: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Greater San Antonio Builders Association Real Estate Council of San Antonio San Antonio Board of Realtors Texas House of Representatives, District 118 Texas House of Representatives, District 119 Texas House of Representatives, District 120 Texas Military Preparedness Commission U.S. House of Representatives, District 35 Texas Department of Transportation Public Participation 1.7 The general public was instrumental in the development of the JLUS and strategies by providing their perspective and feedback, both in public workshops and through the use of the interactive project website (www.jbsa-randolphjlus.com). During the development of the JLUS, three public workshops and one public hearing were held to solicit public input on the direction and content of the JLUS.

The AC identified and addressed technical issues, provided feedback on report development, and assisted in the development and evaluation of implementation strategies. The AC members are listed in the Acknowledgements section of this report. JLUS Study Area 1.8 The JBSA-Randolph JLUS Study Area was designed to encompass all lands and operational areas of JBSA-Randolph locations and use areas that may impact current or future military operations or be impacted by these operations. JBSA-Randolph is located in northeastern Bexar County, Texas, situated outside the San Antonio city limits, and is surrounded by several small municipalities: the City of Universal City to the north; the City of Schertz to the northeast, east and south; and the City of Converse to the west. The areas north and west of the installation are urbanized, while the area south and east of the installation are predominantly agricultural and open space with pockets of residential subdivisions. JBSA-Seguin is a sub-installation of JBSA-Randolph and is located one mile east-southeast of the City of Seguin along U.S. Route 90 (US-90). The City of Seguin is characterized as a rural and agriculture-friendly municipality located 30 miles east of JBSA-Randolph along the Interstate-10 and US-90 corridor. Stinson Municipal Airport is owned and operated by the City of San Antonio. It is situated in San Antonio City Council District 3, just south of downtown and is open to public use. It is approximately 33 miles south-southwest of JBSA-Randolph proper and is contracted by the Department of Defense (DOD) to enable flying training exercises. The area around Stinson Municipal Airport is characterized by portions of residential development and open and park space. Figure 1 illustrates the overall JBSA-Randolph JLUS study area. Page 5 Please see the next page. Page 6 The Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) study area includes three distinct and separate locations all within south-central Texas. Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph (JBSA-Randolph) is northeast of the City of San Antonio and is located between Interstates 10 and 35 in Bexar County. JBSA-Seguin Auxiliary Airfield (JBSA-Seguin) is located about 30 miles east of JBSA-Randolph, just south of Interstate-10 (I-10) in Guadalupe County. Stinson Municipal Airport, which is owned and operated by the City of San Antonio, is located in the southeast sector of San Antonio in City Council District 3, just west of I-37. The present setting and character of the three areas within the overall study area are both, urban and rural. The area surrounding JBSA-Randolph includes both developed and undeveloped lands. The northern and western areas adjacent to the installation are primarily developed including residential, commercial, and industrial uses. The east and south areas of JBSA-Randolph are characterized by more rural land including agricultural, open / undeveloped, and low-density or rural residential uses. The San Antonio metropolitan area is host to a diverse local economy and is a regional center for retail, business, and manufacturing. Several significant economic drivers exist throughout the JLUS Study Area, including the Caterpillar engine assembly plant in Seguin; the Hanson Quarry in Garden Ridge; and the San Antonio Military Medical Center in San Antonio. The diverse economy within the San Antonio metropolitan area comprises several industries including healthcare, retail, accommodation, administration, finance and insurance, construction, and manufacturing. These industries reflect the major economic development sectors found throughout the region. The suburban communities have diverse economies, but also rely on JBSA-Randolph for local economic support. JLUS Community Growth Trends 2.1 Recent population growth has brought significant development to the study area. Every jurisdiction, with the exception of the cities of San Antonio and Seguin, experienced growth rates higher than those of the State of Texas and Bexar County, with the City of Selma growing by over 600 percent in the last decade. Additionally, the cities of Converse, Cibolo, Garden Ridge, and Schertz all experienced substantial growth due to the outward expansion from the central core of San Antonio and general expansion within these cities. Table 1 shows the population change from 2000 to 2010 and notes the percent change in the 10 years. Despite this being a large, urbanized area, the majority of land in Bexar County is developed characterized by one major city, the City of San Antonio, numerous other cities, towns and military bases. This urbanized area encompasses 656 square miles within Bexar County, while the unincorporated area covers 600 square miles. JBSA R and Stinson Municipal Airport are located entirely within the county while JBSA-S is located in neighboring Guadalupe County. Currently, the area within Guadalupe County continues to experience growth and, in recent years, a diversified economy and population boom. Manufacturing supported over 6,000 jobs in Guadalupe County in 2009, generating $1.62 billion. Caterpillar built a $170 million manufacturing plant in the City of Seguin, which supports 1,400 jobs in the area. The county’s population has experienced a dramatic increase in recent years and had a 2010 population of 131,533. This population is largely clustered in or around Schertz, Cibolo, Seguin, and, to a small extent, the peripheries of New Braunfels and San Marcos. Page 7 The balance of Guadalupe County remains unchanged from earlier times and is primarily rural and agricultural. Table 1.

The estimates included Bexar and Guadalupe counties, which are included in the study area. The TSDC included a background of the methodology used to prepare the three projection scenarios and provided recommendations regarding the use of each scenario’s data set. The three data sets focused on a “Zero Migration Scenario”, a “One-Half 2000-2010 Migration (0.5) Scenario”, or a “2000-2010 Migration (1.0) Scenario”. Matrix employed the recommendation for use of the “One-Half 2000-2010 Migration (0.5) Scenario” by the TSDC in so far as the TSDC noted that the “0.5 scenario continues to be the most appropriate scenario for most counties for use in long-term planning.” These 0.5 migration projections are identified in Table 2. These projections demonstrate a continued rate of growth in the State of Texas, Bexar County, and Guadalupe County. Although this information is not specific to the JLUS study area, it is helpful as it substantiates other growth projections and helpful in understanding regional growth trends.

These communities include the cities of Converse, Schertz, and Universal City. Development pressures extending from these adjacent jurisdictions can impact JBSA-Randolph operations and vice versa the military operations can impact the communities’ ability to develop. The cities of Cibolo, Garden Ridge, Live Oak, San Antonio, and Selma, comprise the other communities included in the study area, which are proximate or adjacent to Converse, Schertz and Universal City and can absorb development from the adjacent communities or create additional impacts for the installation. Otherwise, the City of Seguin is located proximate to JBSA-Seguin and the City of San Antonio is located proximate to the Stinson Municipal Airport (Stinson). City of Converse The City of Converse while mostly developed, hired a firm to develop a plan for the city’s 1604 Corridor to expand upon its amenities offered to its residents and visitors. The development is proposed for the city’s eastern / southeastern boundary along the alignment of Loop 1604. This area encompasses both incorporated land and proposed future extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ). This corridor development is outlined in the 1604 Commercial Corridor Study and provides a variety of uses and amenities to the city’s residents and visitors including but not limited to a healthcare / medical zone, several retail zones, and open space and recreational opportunities. The proposed development would be considered the gateway for the community and provide another foundation for the city’s economic base. Source: 1604 Commercial Corridor Study, Aug 2013  City of Schertz According to the City of Schertz’s Comprehensive Land Plan, the city witnessed a large amount of residential and industrial growth from 2000 to 2010 and expects continued growth in both sectors. The plan noted that the residential and industrial growth is occurring more in northern areas of Schertz when compared to the southern areas, since the southern areas face development challenges. Future constraints for continued residential and industrial growth include available land, flood plain, and the recommended land use guidelines to develop property located within the JBSA-R airfield safety zones and noise contours. Schertz has some concerns about sprawl and looks to the implementation of Smart Growth techniques, i.e., traditional neighborhood development, transit-oriented development, conservation subdivision techniques / cluster zoning, and planned unit, to grow efficiently. Source: City of Schertz Comprehensive Land Plan, undated  City of Universal City The main retail corridor through the City of Universal City is State Highway (SH) 218, Pat Booker Road, which provides the greatest development opportunity within the city. In the 2008 Universal City Comprehensive Plan, the city identified redevelopment and infill as the major means to obtain housing growth. The city zoned the areas along Pat Booker Road for retail and commercial services and has increased the density of its neighborhoods to medium-density zoning in many of the areas along the highway. Furthermore, the city’s zoning ordinance includes three overlay districts: redevelopment, aviation district, and campus, in addition to the Randolph compatible use zone overlay, which will provide more flexible requirements to assist in developing these areas. Sources: Universal City Comprehensive Plan 2008‐2013; Universal  City Zoning Ordinance  City of Cibolo The City of Cibolo includes a large amount of ETJ area south of the incorporated city area. This ETJ extends south past I-10, abutting the City of San Antonio’s ETJ, and east along I-10, abutting the City of Seguin’s ETJ. The recent rapid population growth is likely to spur development and increase the rate of annexation. The ETJ area along I-10 is expected to provide an important development thoroughfare and contribute to the overall growth within the area. The city has currently zoned much of the annexed area between SH 539 and I-10 as rural residential, while the areas closer to I-10, along Bolton Road and Main Street Extension, are zoned for commercial, commercial / industrial, single-family residential and mixed use land uses. Page 9 These areas of concentration support the city’s goals of expanding business development, industrial parks, and retail development to diversify the city’s economy.

Current development is limited by the location of the active quarry, in the middle of the city. The city expects that the quarry will conclude operations in approximately 25 years. At that time, Garden Ridge expects to convert the property to 1,490 residential lots. Until such time the quarry operations cease, land cannot be developed. The zoning within the city is currently split into an even mix of single-family residential / residence-agriculture and industrial land uses.

The city supports goals for infill development and increased density development. The city seeks to incorporate varied density mixed uses with retail elements in neighborhood-type residential developments. This mixed use redevelopment is one of the city’s future land use recommendations; others include encouraging unique mixed-use non-residential development and protecting prime retail property for the highest use development. The city also seeks to capitalize on its location at the intersection of I-35 and Loop 1604 by furthering development of the business district in the area through redevelopment and infill.

The City’s ETJ and incorporated areas are located north, west, and south of JBSA-Randolph, but both are physically separated from JBSA-Randolph by the cities of Selma, Live Oak, Converse, and Schertz. The city’s incorporated areas have been largely zoned for single-family residential uses with adjoining / nearby park and open space uses. Given the significant single-family residential development occurring in the cities between San Antonio and JBSA-Randolph, similar growth is likely to occur in the area controlled by the City of San Antonio.

In 2005, approximately one-quarter to one-third of Selma was undeveloped, vacant land. Since then, several single-family residential developments have been constructed as well as multi-family residential; office; hotel, i.e., a Holiday Inn Express; and both large, i.e., a Costco, and small retail development. Source: City of Selma, 2005‐2020 Comprehensive Development  Plan Volume I, Jun 2007  Page 10 To appropriately develop and assess compatibility issues for the JBSA-Randolph JLUS, it is critical to understand the military operations and activities associated with JBSA-Randolph missions and how those operations interface with nearby communities. This chapter provides a brief overview of the mission operational footprint for JBSA-Randolph, JBSA-Seguin, and Stinson. JBSA-Randolph is located in Bexar County, Texas about 15 miles northeast of downtown San Antonio. The installation is near major transportation corridors including Interstate 35 (I-35), I-10, and Loop 1604 and rail operated by Union Pacific. Neighboring, developed communities include the City of Converse to the west, the City of Universal City to the north, and the City of Schertz, which wraps around JBSA-Randolph extending from the installation’s northeast corner to the installation’s southwest corner. In addition, there are other communities that are proximate to the aforementioned cities including Cibolo, Garden Ridge, Live Oak, and Selma. JBSA-Randolph 3.1 The installation covers 2,894 acres and supports numerous activities and buildings that support the mission. These include facilities and uses associated with airfield operations; industrial / maintenance; administration; community commercial, i.e., Army and Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES), and community service, i.e., chapel; medical; housing; outdoor recreation; and open space / water. Source: General Plan Randolph AFB, TX (undated)  Military Strategic Importance JBSA-Randolph is a critical asset to the DOD and provides flying training to student and instructor pilots. Test and evaluation of aviation-related training systems is also conducted as part of the overall mission. JBSA-Randolph not only trains pilots and instructor pilots, the base is also home to major headquarters within the United States Air Force (USAF) including Air Education and Training Command, a major command in the USAF responsible for all education and training of today’s airmen, Headquarters (HQ) Air Force Personnel Center, and HQ Air Force Recruiting Service. In addition to being a critical flying training wing in the USAF and a home to several AF HQs, JBSA-Randolph provides over $1.3 billion in economic impact to both local and regional economies. This impact is comprised of three components: annual payroll, annual expenditures, and value of jobs created. Moreover, JBSA comprised of JBSA-Randolph, JBSA-Lackland, and JBSA-Fort Sam Houston / Camp Bullis, in Bexar County provides over $27.7 billion in economic impact to the region. These figures not only demonstrate the economic importance of JBSA to the region, but demonstrate that JBSA-Randolph is a significant component of the local economy. Page 11 Military Operations The 12th Flying Training Wing (FTW), the host unit at JBSA-Randolph, conducts training for instructor pilots, combat systems officers and introduction to fighter fundamentals student pilot training. Pilot training is performed in the T-6A Texan II, T-38 Talon, and T-1A Jayhawk aircraft. Flight operations in support of the 12th FTW mission are conducted 260 days annually. These operations are conducted during the day and generally limited to the hours between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Night operations, i.e., from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., are rare exceptions and require coordination with and approval from the 12th FTW Operations Group in accordance with the JBSA-R Noise Management Plan. T-38C Talon aircraft. Photo courtesy of JBSA-Randolph. Aside from flight operations conducted by aircraft based at JBSA-Randolph, other military aircraft occasionally utilize the airfield at the installation. These operations are considered transient operations and have steadily decreased over the years with 1,124 operations in calendar year (CY) 2010 and 314 operations as of July 2013 for CY13. Transient operations are accepted up to 312 days per year – in contrast to the 260 days provided to the 12th FTW for training. In addition to flying training mission, the 12th FTW provides repair or replacement of external parts on aircraft engines from aircraft at JBSA-R and other AF installations. Future Operations To enable the US Air Force to train in a new two-seat jet trainer, the USAF T-X program will begin in 2017 and is expected to be fully operational by 2023. The T-X aircraft will replace the T-38 Talon as the T-38 Talon fleet is over 43 years old. The new T-X aircraft is a faster two- seat jet that will enable sustained high-G operations, aerial refueling, night vision imaging systems operations, air-to-air intercepts, and data-link operations. This aircraft will be more advanced regarding the information systems capability of the aircraft as opposed to the T-38 aircraft. With this advanced technology, the T-X aircraft is more likely to have a larger noise footprint than its counterpart the T-38. This could have increased impacts on the communities in the vicinity of the JBSA-Randolph airfield. JBSA-Randolph Military 3.2 Mission Profile The JBSA-Randolph mission profile is composed of various footprints that are associated with the mission. These components are either tangible meaning that they are either physically seen and / or heard or intangible meaning that they exist within space without being seen or heard. One example of a tangible footprint is noise associated with aircraft activity; one example of an intangible component is the flight path that an aircraft follows. These tangible and intangible footprints comprise the mission profile. Oftentimes, the profile is not contained within the confines of the military installation; noise, for example, does not stop at the fence line. The mission profile can potentially affect areas adjacent to or near the installation. Conversely, some development activities occurring in communities such as residential or commercial development within or adjacent to a military installation (depending on location) have a potential to adversely impact aircraft operations. The JBSA-Randolph mission footprints are both localized and regional in nature. Localized footprints are shown in Figure 2 and include: Accident Potential Zones Noise Contours Bird and Wildlife Air Strike Hazard (BASH) Vertical Obstructions Imaginary Surfaces Regional footprints are illustrated in Figure 3 and include: Military Training Routes (MTRs) Military Operating Areas (MOAs) Restricted Airspace Page 12 Page 13 JBSA - Randolph Schertz Cibolo San Antonio San Antonio Selma Converse Live Oak Universal City Garden Ridge Cibolo B e x a r B e x a rC o u n t y C o u n t y G u a d a l u p e G u a d a l u p eC o u n t y C o u n t y C o m a l C o m a lC o u n t y C o u n t y §¨¦35 §¨¦10 §¨¦410 §¨¦410 £¤87 UV1604 UV13 UV368 UV218 UV106 UV539 UV337 Legend Airfield Imaginary Surface Primary Surface Approach/DepartureClearance Surface(glide angle) = 50 ftto 1 ft up to 500 ft Approach/DepartureClearance Surface(horizontal) = 500 ft Inner HorizontalSurface = 150 ft Conical Surface= 20 ft to 1 ft Outer HorizontalSurface = 500 ft Transitional Surface= 7ft to 1 ft 5-mile BASHRelevancy Area Special Use Airspace(Alert Area A-635) Noise Contour(dB) 65 70 75 80 FAA Part 77 Up to 200' @ 3NM Up to 300' @ 4NM Up to 400' @ 5NM Up to 500' @ 6NM Accident Potential Zones Clear Zone APZ I APZ II Regional Cities JLUS Partners City / Community Bexar andGuadalupe CountyBoundaries JBSA - Randolph Runway Centerline Interstate / Highway Road Railroad River Sources: JBSA - Randolph, 2013; FAA, 2013. 0 21 Miles Military Footprint CompositeFigure 2 JBSA - Randolph Page 14 ^_ ^_^_ Mexico VR1421,876,759 acres VR1401,083,375 acres SR287899,272 acres SR290845,482 acres SR293719,456 acres(Closed) SR286714,538 acres SR292792,163 acres TEXON MOA, TX889,066 acres RANDOLPH 2A MOA, TX1,123,696 acres RANDOLPH 1A MOA, TX1,103,243 acres RANDOLPH 1B MOA, TX588,754 acres KINGSVILLE 5 MOA, TX368,120 acres RANDOLPH 2B MOA, TX246,112 acres R6312(C)61,749 acres R6312(B)52,483 acresR6312(A)5,754 acres A635118,186 acres A638109,468 acres JBSA - Randolph Stinson Municipal Airport JBSA - Seguin Auxiliary Airfield Gulf ofMexico Legend ^_JLUS Airfield / Airport Special Use Airspace Military Training Route Slow Speed Low Altitude Training Route State Boundary U.S. - Mexico Boundary Sources: Randolph AFB, 2013; ESRI, 2013.0 7035Miles NewMexico Oklahoma Arkansas Louisiana Mississippi MEXICO Gulf ofMexico Texas Special Use AirspaceFigure 3 JBSA - Randolph Maintaining and sustaining these local and regional footprints plays a significant role in the long-term viability of JBSA-Randolph and continued mission readiness of the USAF. JBSA-R Local Operational Footprint The JBSA-Randolph airfield operational footprint is comprised of the mission components associated with airfield operations including accident potential zones, noise contours, the BASH area, and imaginary surfaces. These components involve varying levels of land use planning from jurisdictions and the military to enable compatibility with the military mission. Such planning recommendations include restricting development in the clear zone (CZ) of the airfield and lowering building heights to prevent unnecessary vertical obstructions and promote navigable airspace. Accident Potential Zones   Accident potential zones (APZs) encompass three main areas from the end of the runway(s): the CZ, APZ I, and APZ II. These zones start at the ends of the runways and extend outward and are delineated based upon historical data of aircraft accidents. DoD recommends land uses for these areas to encourage and promote compatibility with military operations and to protect the public welfare. As shown in Figure 2, the CZ extends outward from the ends of the runways by 3,000 feet and is 3,000 feet wide and has the potential to create compatibility issues within the cities that are encompassed within the CZs. The APZ I measures 3,000 feet wide by 5,000 in length and APZ II measures 3,000 feet wide and 7,000 feet in length, they extend outward from the CZ respectively. It should be noted that the northern JBSA-Randolph CZs encompass land within Universal City and the City of Schertz, and the southern CZs encompass land within the cities of Converse and Schertz. The northern APZ I areas are within the cities of Universal City and Schertz and the southern APZ I encompasses land in the cities of Converse, Schertz, and San Antonio. The northern and southern APZ II areas extend into the cities of Universal City, Selma, and Schertz, respectively. Aircraft Noise Contours  The noise contour information was prepared for Randolph AFB in the 2008 AICUZ Study. The AICUZ was updated in part, due to the change in noise exposure since the 2000 AICUZ. The noise exposure is modeled based off of the type of aircraft flown, including the T-6 and T-38 for annual average busy-day aircraft operations. The loudest JBSA-R noise contours generated by military aircraft operations occur within the installation boundaries, but portions of the 65 dB and 70 dB noise contours extend off base into the surrounding communities of Converse, Universal City and Schertz and in small portions of land not contained in the Study Area. Imaginary Surfaces   The DOD under Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 03-260-01 has identified certain imaginary surfaces around runways at military installations to determine how structures and facilities are evaluated for creating vertical obstructions around an active airfield. The imaginary surfaces build upon each other and are designed to eliminate obstructions either natural or man-made, to air navigation and operations. Each type of imaginary surface has different dimensions, planes or slopes in which a structure intruding upon it may be considered a vertical obstruction. Figure 2 illustrates the JBSA-Randolph imaginary surfaces and provides the allowable heights and slopes in these imaginary surfaces. Bird Air Strike Hazard Relevancy Area  Birds and wildlife pose a threat to military training and flight operations. Due to changes in regional migratory patterns and the availability of dense foliage for roosting on the installation, JBSA Randolph has become an ideal habitat for a flock of migratory White Winged Dove. At an estimated flock size of 12,000-15,000 birds, and growing, the White Winged Doves present a particularly acute risk to high-speed jet operations on Randolph's east runway. These birds accounted for only 12.5 percent of damaging bird-strikes in FY 12, but this rate steadily increased to 55.6 percent of damaging bird- strikes in FY 14. Aggressive efforts are underway to contain the expanding BASH threat. Risk mitigation techniques, such as adjusting flight operations, successfully reduced overall bird strikes from 75 in FY13 to 70 in FY 14. Page 15 Previous short-term methods are planned for expanded use in FY 15 but are considered unsustainable due to long term effects on lost training and reduced pilot production. Habitat reduction by eliminating retaining ponds and flora favorable to these species greatly reduces the risk associated with bird activities. While small in number, large bird species that inhabit installation water sources are especially damaging in an aircraft strike incident. These large birds, such as Cranes and Egrets, are most effectively controlled by eliminating nonessential water sources both on the installation and in the communities surrounding the installation. Figure 2 illustrates the FAA statistical BASH relevancy area around JBSA-Randolph. BASH impact to aircraft. Photo courtesy of JBSA-Randolph. Vertical Obstructions   Separately from and in addition to the established imaginary surfaces, the FAA also establishes further guidance to reduce the potential for accidents surrounding an airfield. This guidance is codified in the Code of Federal Regulations at Title 14, Part 77.17 and utilized by the FAA during obstruction evaluations. The guidance and process for obstruction evaluation is more fully detailed in Section 4: Existing Tools as it is not a military-specific element and is not a direct result of JBSA-Randolph operations. It is included here, within the military profile, nonetheless, because it is associated with airfield operations. Figure 2 illustrates Part 77 relevancy areas. JBSA-R Regional Operational Airspace With respect to military operations, regulatory special use airspace (SUA) includes prohibited areas and restricted areas. Non-regulatory special use airspace includes military operating areas (MOAs), military training routes (MTRs), warning areas, alert areas, national security areas, and controlled firing areas. Specific to JBSA-Randolph, regulatory and non-regulatory special use airspace includes MOAs, MTRs, and slow-speed low altitude training routes, as well as alert areas and restricted airspace as illustrated in Figure 3. Military Operating Areas  The Randolph 1A MOA is located east/southeast of San Antonio. The Randolph 1B and Kingsville 5 MOAs are both located southeast of San Antonio. The Randolph 2A and 2B MOAs are both located west of San Antonio. The TEXON MOA is located northwest of San Antonio and is the greatest distance away from San Antonio out of all of the MOA. While these areas are not located within this JLUS study area, it is discussed here and shown in Figure 3 to provide a comprehensive picture of the overall airspace footprint for the JBSA-Randolph mission.

The primary difference between IFR and VFR MTR is the ability to fly with or without the use of instruments in various weather conditions. There are also Slow Speed Altitude Training Routes associated with JBSA-Randolph and an alert area. Slow speed, low altitude training routes (SR) are generally not considered a MTR, but are treated much the same as a MTR. The SUA and Slow Speed Low Altitude Training Routes are illustrated in Figure 3. This figure also illustrates the regional airspaces for which numerous installations in the region use to perform their training missions.

It should be noted that Alert Area A-635 does not extend into or include any of the Class D airspace that is directly associated with the JBSA-Randolph airfield; it does, though, envelop and surround the entire Class D airspace. Alert Area A-635 covers an area comprising 118,186 acres and is illustrated on Figure 3. Alert Area A‐638  Like the designation of Alert Area A-635 due to the large amount of flight activity involving student pilots associated with the JBSA-Randolph mission, the airspace over the JBSA-Seguin airfield is also designated as Alert Area A-638 for the same reasons. A-638 covers an area comprising 109,468 acres. This SUA is shown in Figure 3. Alert Area A-638 does not preclude entry by aircraft unassociated with the military flight operations; although, it does require all flight operations in the area to be conducted under VFR. Other attributes associated with Alert Area A-638 includes an operational area that extends vertically to and including 3,000 ft. mean sea level (MSL) and horizontally across a large area encompassing the airfield. The time of use associated with A-638 begins at sunrise and ends at sunset from Monday to Friday.

It has one runway and covers 961 acres. It is an unattended airport and restricted to use by the military; prior authorization is required prior to landing at the airfield. The infrastructure and environs at JBSA-Seguin are the responsibility of JBSA-Randolph. Military Operations JBSA-Seguin supports the flight instruction training mission at JBSA-Randolph, providing an area free from urban encroachment ideal for touch-and-go operations, practice approaches, and emergency landing procedures practice. Runway renovations were recently completed at JBSA-Seguin and the airfield is operational to support the flight instruction training mission. JBSA-Seguin Military Mission Footprints The JBSA-Seguin mission footprint is illustrated on Figure 4 and is comprised of the mission components associated with airfield operations including accident potential zones, noise contours, the BASH area, and imaginary surfaces. Accident Potential Zones  The APZ zones, i.e., CZ and APZs, for JBSA-Seguin were mapped in the 2000 AICUZ Study for Seguin Auxiliary Airfield, Texas. Knowing that the length of the runway has not changed since that time, the safety zone dimensions have not changed. As mentioned before, the AF standard measurements for CZs extend outward 3,000 feet from the end of the runway and 3,000 feet wide. The CZ is the standard size and encompasses areas in unincorporated Guadalupe County. The APZ I and II measurements are the standard size affecting both the city and county. Figure 4 illustrates these APZs.

Vertical Obstructions  As previously indicated within the information regarding JBSA-Randolph, the FAA established guidance to reduce the potential for accidents surrounding an airfield. More information about the FAA guidance is included in Section 4: Existing Tools and in the JBSA-Randolph description. Figure 4 displays JBSA-Seguin Part 77 relevancy areas. Source: 14 CFR § 77.17  Stinson Municipal Airport 3.4 Stinson Municipal Airport (Stinson) is owned and operated by the City of San Antonio. The inclusion of Stinson within the JBSA-Randolph JLUS is based on the JBSA-Randolph military flight operations that occur at Stinson. Accordingly, information in this section regarding Stinson will be limited to the operations involving JBSA-Randolph to the extent possible. Current Operations While the majority of Stinson’s current operations are general aviation, the relevant component to this JLUS is the JBSA-Randolph military operation involvement. The total of all military activities totaled 7,146 for a 12-month period ending March 26, 2011. This total represents 4.5 percent of the total aviation operations conducted at Stinson for the same period. Historical data captured from 2002 to 2011 shows transient military operations outnumbered local military operations for all years between and including 2002 to 2008. Beginning in 2009, the number of transient military operations decreased from previous years, but appears to have stabilized around 3,000 to 3,500 annual operations based on available data.

In addition, the footprint relative to military operations, as illustrated in Figure 5, is likely to be exaggerated since the military operations only comprise a small percentage of the overall aviation operations.

Military Footprint CompositeFigure 5 Stinson Municipal Airport Object Free Areas and Runway Protection Zones  CZs and APZs are associated with military airfields. Civilian airfields, in contrast, utilize object free areas (OFAs) and runway protection zones (RPZs). The OFA is located in the same general area and serves the same purpose as the military’s CZs in that it is an area located at the end of a runway and is intended to be “free of objects” as noted in the FAA Advisory Circular regarding airport design. Additionally, the RPZs act similarly to the APZs in that they are designed to minimize harm to persons and property in the event of an aviation-related incident during takeoff or landing. RPZs, though, differ from APZs in size, shape, and property ownership requirements. RPZs vary in size and are enlarged or minimized according to the type of aircraft a runway supports. Figure 5 displays RPZs at Stinson. All of the runways at Stinson include RPZs, but do not include OFAs. This is because the active part of the runway, the point at which an aircraft will physically gain or lose contact with the runway during landing or takeoff, starts several hundred feet from the end of the paved area associated with the runway. The active start of the runway – the runway threshold - is displaced from the end of the paved area. These runway areas are not used for takeoff or landing and act as the OFA since the area is kept free of objects by virtue of the paved areas associated with the runway location.

The OFZ dimensions for civilian runways are fully dependent on “approach minimums for the runway end and the aircraft on approach”. Accordingly, the size of the OFZ is standardized based on the aircraft approach category and the aircraft design group.

While the DNL 75 dB and 70 dB noise contours are confined to the Stinson Municipal Airport property, the DNL 65 dB contour extends off the southern end of Stinson approximately 500 feet into San Antonio. The DNL 60 dB noise contour associated with the south end of the airport property extends into areas where residential and industrial uses are located. According to the Airport Improvements document, four residential dwelling units having approximately 11 persons would be affected by noise equal to or greater than DNL 60 dB.

The FAA indicated this area was the area where BASH incidents were most likely to occur because aircraft are flying at lower altitudes and speeds. This makes the probability for BASH incidents to occur higher as BASH incidents typically occur at altitudes up to 3,500 feet AGL. The BASH relevancy area for Stinson is shown on Figure 5. Vertical Obstructions  As previously mentioned in the JBSA-Randolph and JBSA-Seguin operational footprints, the FAA established guidance to reduce the potential for accidents surrounding an airfield based on heights of structures and ground elevation. More information about the FAA guidance is included in Section 4: Existing Tools and in the JBSA-R description. Figure 5 illustrates the FAA Part 77 footprint for Stinson. Page 22 There are numerous existing tools that can be used to encourage, promote, and manage compatibility between military installations and their neighboring communities. These tools exist at the federal, installation, state, regional, and local level and are used for compatibility purposes to guide every day land use and operational decisions in communities and on military installations. This chapter lists some of the key tools that are currently, or are recommended to be more efficiently utilized or enhanced to address the compatibility issues identified by the JBSA-Randolph (JBSA-Randolph) Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) process. The tools listed in this section are not exhaustive, but are meant to provide a brief overview of the primary tools currently utilized in the JLUS Study Area.  Federal Programs and Policies 4.1 The federal programs and policies are provided for by the various branches of the federal government. These tools authorize other federal, state, and local agencies to implement regulatory measures and policies to protect the multiple resources that are involved in land use and military compatibility planning. The intent of these regulatory measures and policies include the protection and preservation of the quality of life and public welfare and the myriad of natural resources including land, water, and airspace. These tools assist land use decision makers and planners of all levels to make informed decisions, which can enable compatible land use development between joint land uses— military and community land uses. Federal programs and policies were evaluated in the JBSA-Randolph JLUS to assist in determining where areas of improvement could enable enhanced land use planning at the local level. Some key federal programs that were evaluated in the JBSA-Randolph JLUS process include but are not limited to the Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ) Program and the Federal Aviation Act, specifically FAA Regulation Title 14 Part 77. For a complete description of these programs and tools, see the Background Report, Chapter 4, Existing Compatibility Tools. JBSA-Randolph Tools 4.2 The JBSA-Randolph installation tools provide guidance for land uses and development activities on the installation. These tools govern land use decisions that occur inside the fence line. These tools provide guidance and establish standard operating procedures during certain events such as a bird air strike hazard (BASH) condition and / or the parameters for conducting missions within the military operating area (MOA). There are various installation tools that are instrumental in assisting and guiding land use decisions as they interface with the military mission. Some key JBSA-Randolph tools that were evaluated in the JLUS process include but are not limited to the BASH Plan and the JBSA-Randolph 2030 General Plan. However it should be noted, the 12 Flying Training Wing (FTW) does not consider the AICUZ land use recommendations as compatible with its training operations. The 12 FTW conducts approximately 200,000 flight movements annually in fighter-trainer type aircraft and the density of urban development recommended by the AICUZ substantially increases mission risk and the likelihood that people and property will be significantly impacted by an aircraft mishap. Page 23 State of Texas Tools 4.3 The state tools provide further assistance and protection of land uses in the State of Texas. The tools authorize or mandate local counties and cities to provide for the protection of the State’s valuable industries including the DOD and agriculture. In addition, the State’s tools require communities and developers to protect and preserve the State’s natural resources including land and water by establishing further regulatory measures to ensure the natural environment is preserved and protected from over-consumptive practices. Some essential State tools that were analyzed in this JLUS include but are not limited to the Joint Airport Zoning Board (JAZB) authorized by Chapter 241 of the Texas Local Government Code, the Texas Military Preparedness Commission and the Airport Compatibility Guidelines authored by the Texas Department of Transportation, Aviation Division. Texas Local Jurisdiction 4.4 Planning Tools The planning tools used by the study area jurisdictions were analyzed and categorized as permanent, semi-permanent, or conditional. In Texas, only cities may enforce traditional land use and development regulatory authority. Very few counties in Texas have limited authority to regulate land uses, i.e. Bexar County is authorized to regulate lighting in the unincorporated portions of the county. Counties are not required to adopt Comprehensive Plans; however, cities are required by state law to have a comprehensive plan and update it every five years. Texas Local Government Code provides cities and counties with authority to regulate the subdivision of land within incorporated and extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) areas, including managing roads, streets, drainage, and rights-of-way. In general, land cannot be divided in Texas without local government approval. Dividing land for sale or lease is regulated by local ordinances based on the Texas Local Government Code (Chapter 212 for cities and Chapter 232 for counties). In the case of cities, the comprehensive plan, zoning, subdivision, and other ordinances govern the design of the subdivision, the size of its lots, and the types of improvements (street construction, sewer lines, drainage facilities, etc.). Counties may only regulate subdivisions as they apply to roads, property setbacks and groundwater. There are 29 incorporated municipalities and numerous smaller, unincorporated communities within Bexar and Guadalupe Counties. While the missions conducted at JBSA-Randolph have the potential to intermittently affect different parts of the counties at one time or another, this JLUS focuses on areas of Bexar County and its incorporated cities of Converse, Garden Ridge, Live Oak, San Antonio, Schertz, Selma, and Universal City, and Guadalupe County and its incorporated cities of Cibolo and Seguin. These areas are most affected by JBSA-Randolph operations and conversely, are the areas that have the most potential to pose compatibility issues for JBSA-Randolph. Some essential local jurisdiction planning tools that were analyzed in this JLUS include but are not limited to the following: Comprehensive Plans, Unified Development Code and Zoning Ordinances and Orders, and Subdivision Regulations Building Codes Annexation Regulations City of San Antonio Airport Hazard Overlay District/ Military Airport Overlay Zone City of San Antonio Military Sound Attenuation Overlay Districts, Section 35-339.05 City of Schertz Airport Installation Compatible Use Zone District City of Universal City Perpetual Clear Zone Easement and Formal Coordination Letters The local jurisdiction planning tools provide further assistance and protection of land uses in the communities proximate to JBSA-Randolph facilities. Page 24  Identification of Compatibility Issues 5.1 Compatibility, in relation to military readiness, is defined as the balance or compromise between community and military needs and interests. The goal of compatibility planning is to promote an environment where both entities communicate, coordinate, and implement mutually supportive actions that allow them to achieve their respective goals and objectives. Numerous factors influence whether community and military plans, programs, and activities are compatible or in conflict. For the JBSA-Randolph JLUS, 24 compatibility factors were evaluated to confirm the presence of, and establish priorities for, the key Study Area issues. Two of these factors, noise and vibration, were grouped together due to similar issues and strategies. JBSA-Randolph Compatibility Issues by Factor 5.2 Alternative Energy Development is the likelihood of development of alternative energy developments within the JBSA-Randolph JLUS Study Area. Alternative energy includes wind and solar energy facilities. Any current or proposed wind or solar facilities in the study area located in areas where low-altitude aviation operations can occur can create a vertical obstruction and / or visual impairment for pilots. The uncoordinated placement of these facilities can lead to incompatibilities with the JBSA-Randolph mission. The following Alternative Energy Development issue was identified: Local ordinances do not regulate alternative energy equipment or facility siting which may pose a vertical obstruction and/or safety issue for flight operations. Anti-Terrorism / Force Protection is the protection and security of the nation’s defense assets. Issues are created when national defenses can be breached or compromised, such as development close to the fence line where the public can view operational activities. It is important for the DOD and JBSA-Randolph to address these issues to ensure military readiness. The following Anti-Terrorism / Force Protection issue was identified: JBSA-Randolph East Gate does not meet all AT / FP requirements, which may affect security and local community traffic congestion due to the traffic throughput constraints at the gate. Communication / Coordination is the communication and collaboration between multiple agencies engaged in a common goal. For the JBSA-Randolph JLUS, interagency coordination represents several challenges for both JBSA-Randolph and surrounding communities. The lack of a coordinated approach when planning activities including proposed development and infrastructure extensions can result in incompatibilities for sustaining the JBSA-Randolph mission and growth of the surrounding communities. The lack of information sharing such as important geographic information system data used for planning and mapping can potentially result in incompatible development near the installation and ranges. The following Interagency Communication / Coordination issues were identified: Local jurisdictions and the public are not clear who they should contact at JBSA-Randolph regarding specific questions, complaints or coordination. Page 25 There is a need for JBSA-Randolph to enhance their coordination and notification with the local jurisdictions / public when there is an increase in military training activities that are outside their typical training schedule. There is a need for better coordination between JBSA-Randolph and local jurisdictions regarding proposed development applications to achieve compatible development in support of the military mission and the positive economic impact the military brings to the community. There is no defined JBSA-Randolph response time for reviewing proposed development actions within the Universal City Perpetual Clear Zone Easement Area. There is a lack of notification or accurate notification to potential buyers looking to purchase property / homes within the Accident Potential or Clear Zones. There is a lack of notification to potential home buyers that a military installation is located within the area which may generate noise, vibration or other impacts associated with military missions. Multiple agencies advocate for the preservation of military mission and local economic development and have similar overarching goals, but lack integrated coordination reducing the potential for maximization of resource use and shared benefits. A comprehensive set of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data depicting military mission profiles and footprints is not available to local jurisdictions and agencies. Continued coordination of the shared airspace between JBSA-Randolph and San Antonio International Airport is important to ensure the safety of the pilots and the public located beneath the airspace. Despite notification from Houston Air Route Traffic Control Center, general aviation aircraft enter Military Operating Areas where military aircraft are conducting nontraditional flight maneuvers. The Metropolitan Planning Organization Board does not include JBSA-Randolph representation. There is a lack of temporary construction and crane operation permits within the jurisdictions for the approach and departure corridor. Dust, Smoke, and Steam is a by-product generated by both military and civilian activities. Dust and smoke is not only a visibility nuisance, but can also be an air quality issue for Bexar County. Dust from agriculture activities located near the airfields can be incompatible with low-level flight operations and create visual impediments for pilot navigation. The following Dust, Smoke, and Steam issue was identified: The refinery near Stinson Municipal Airport emits particulate into the air that can create a visibility hazard for pilots. Housing Availability is the availability of eligible and qualified housing units to military personnel and their families. While military personnel from visiting units reside on-base, mission increases will need to be coordinated with communities so that they can plan and prepare for additional housing to accommodate any growth in personnel. The following Local Housing Availability issue was identified: As growth continues to occur within the area surrounding JBSA-Randolph, the availability of adequate housing to support the needs of military personnel may be limited. Infrastructure Extensions represent compatibility issues for JBSA-Randolph based on their proposed or planned location. Transportation routes and electrical and water infrastructure impact land uses differently based on location, magnitude of the improvements, and the resulting outcome. Infrastructure extensions tend to catalyze development in the surrounding communities. This development can create incompatibilities with JBSA-Randolph military operations. The following Infrastructure Extensions issues were identified: Page 26 Desire for additional sewer treatment capacity within the City of Schertz – south and east of JBSA-Randolph as well as other future plans for infrastructure improvements in surrounding communities could encourage incompatible growth. JBSA-Randolph currently does not have a redundant water supply system and may be at risk if their existing system fails. Land / Air Space Competition is defined as multiple uses of both land and air spaces. The JBSA-Randolph JLUS evaluated land and air space shared between military and civilian activities relative to commercial / civilian— general aviation operations in the region. The JBSA- Randolph JLUS also assessed several land areas used for recreational purposes. The following Competition for Land and Air Spaces issues were identified: The airspace that JBSA-Randolph uses is already congested and concerns exist that the competition for airspace will increase due to community airport growth, expanded JBSA-Randolph operations, and potential San Antonio International Airport runway improvements. New Braunfels Regional Airport and Stinson Municipal Airport civilian flight training operations occur in the same airspace used by JBSA-Randolph military trainers for runway approach. Proximity of other airfields to JBSA-Randolph and JBSA-S auxiliary runway approaches create airspace conflicts. Land Use is the impetus for the JBSA-Randolph JLUS. The JLUS assesses various components of land use to determine compatibility between unique military missions and the economic vision of the surrounding jurisdictions. This assessment considers accomplishing mutual goals and benefits to facilitate the military’s continued training mission for readiness while allowing for economic development in adjacent communities. Certain land uses are sensitive to noise, vibration, and other impacts generated by military training exercises. In contrast, certain land uses employed by communities can limit military training activities by encouraging annexation practices in areas critical to the military mission. The following Land Use issues were identified: Several local jurisdictions that have areas which are located within the airfield safety zones or noise contours do not reference or implement the AICUZ recommendations. The language about AICUZ recommendations in a few of the local jurisdictions zoning ordinances are not clear and may create an interpretation challenge. Concern about the application of the 2011 AICUZ DOD Instructions Floor to Area Ratio (FAR) recommendation. The Floor to Area ratio recommendation was not part of the AICUZ but it is part of the instructions. Legislative Initiatives are issues that require legislative action or amendments to ensure compatibility factors are addressed within local jurisdictions that affect or are affected by proximity to JBSA-Randolph. The following Legislative Initiatives issue was identified: Current real estate seller disclosure forms do not contain notice informing potential buyers that military training operations occur within the area. Bexar and Guadalupe Counties have limited zoning and subdivision authority, which restricts the enforcement of compatible development. Light and Glare can be generated by both military and civilian uses. Light and glare can be generated from certain construction materials during the daytime when sunlight reflects off the structure. This can create visual impairments for pilots flying at low altitudes. Certain types of alternative energy development can create glare for pilots in training, posing a safety hazard to the pilot and the aircraft. The following Light and Glare issues were identified: Commercial and retail development, particularly outdoor retail and commercial activities that require additional lighting, may impact flight operations at JBSA-Randolph. Rooftop- or ground-mounted solar panels without anti-reflective coating can create glare. Directed light from unregulated and unconventional sources, i.e., laser scope for paint Page 27 ball shooting accuracy, can be hazardous to pilots and cause temporary blinding. A lack of consistency in controlling light sources, glare, and general ambient light may result in an unsuitable night training environment for flying training operations. Noise and Vibration are the result of both military training exercises and construction and development activities. These factors can be incompatible with sensitive land uses. Noise that is loud and extending into night hours can disrupt the lives of the public. Vibration can disrupt daily living activities and in extreme cases cause structural damage. The JLUS strives to balance community quality of life with mission operations and readiness. The following Noise and Vibration issues were identified: The military flight operations that occur at JBSA-Randolph, JBSA-S, and Stinson Municipal Airport produce noise that is heard outside the boundaries of the installations. Local jurisdiction’s building codes do not require sound attenuation per the Federal Aviation Administration / Department Of Defense guidance. JBSA-Randolph and San Antonio International Airport flight patterns may be redirected due to weather or congestion which may lead to noise complaints sent to JBSA-Randolph that were actually caused by aircraft from the commercial airport. General concern that JBSA-Randolph cannot forecast future mission requirements, i.e., larger aircraft, which may generate a larger noise footprint and increase noise complaints from the community since many people are not aware that a change in a flying mission may impact the amount of aircraft noise they may hear. JBSA-Randolph may expand maintenance depot activities and night operations that could include engine run-up exercises on test cells which may generate an increase in noise complaints. Concern that noise complaints may increase at JBSA-S Auxiliary Airfield after the runway improvements are completed and flight operations resume. Vibration complaints are an issue in the cities of Schertz and Universal City. Roadway Capacity can create incompatibilities between military operations and civilian activities due to limited roadway capacity. Roadway Capacity was evaluated for coordination of improved public roadways to meet the needs of both military and civilian uses. The following Roadway Capacity issue was identified: Mass transit is limited around JBSA-Randolph due to the suburban nature of the area. Road network near JBSA-Randolph is congested with frequent wait times / delays during peak use hours; this affects JBSA-Randolph and local communities. Potential retail development along FM-3009 (Roy Richard Drive) and Interstate 35 in the city of Schertz may result in increased local traffic. Current Union Pacific rail operations supporting the natural gas extraction industry temporarily halt thru-traffic on State Highway 218 (Pat Booker Road) causing periodic vehicle stacking near JBSA-Randolph. Thirty to forty commercial deliveries / trucks queue along Old Seguin Road to enter JBSA-Randolph through the South Gate and impact local roadway congestion. Existing interstate infrastructure is at capacity, which results in regional traffic congestion and impacts daily workforce commuters to and from JBSA-Randolph. Safety issues are generated by both military and civilian land uses. Safety concerns relevant to military operations include development (i.e. even the stacking of hay bales and other such commodities) near or adjacent to the runway in areas where development is strongly discouraged such as the Clear Zone. Safety issues are also evaluated based on the land uses located near active runways, such as water features, that can attract birds and wildlife to this critical aviation area where low-speed low-altitude aircraft perform operations. The following Safety issues were identified: Page 28 There are existing land uses and proposed developments within the airfield safety zones around JBSA-Randolph that are incompatible. A portion of existing development within the JBSA-Seguin airfield safety zones is incompatible due to the type of land use and / or density. A portion of existing development near Stinson Municipal Airport is nonconforming due to buildings or structures located in runway protection zones. There are no policies or regulations that deal with land uses that may pose Bird/Wildlife Aircraft Strike Hazard risks near JBSA-Randolph and JBSA-Seguin. Any development that occurs within the CZ and is not part of the CZ easement will be incompatible per DOD AICUZ instructions. San Antonio International Airport’s aging radar equipment services all local airfields, but requires routine repairs and lacks a backup and redundancy system. Vertical Obstructions are structures that impede navigable airspace for both military and civilian aircraft operations. Structures that pose a threat to the airspace for military and civilian aviation include tall wind turbines and wireless communication towers. It is important to ensure the communities adjacent to JBSA-Randolph plan accordingly to safeguard against unintended safety concerns relative to structures that obstruct navigable airspace. The following Vertical Obstructions issues were identified: Current ordinances do not adequately regulate building heights in conjunction with FAA Imaginary Surfaces height recommendations. Though local zoning ordinances do not consider adjustments for site elevations that are higher than the existing airfield elevation at JBSA-Randolph for wireless communication tower permits, telecom contractors coordinate directly with the FAA regarding height restrictions and lighting and a statement from JBSA-Randolph must be provided that the proposed communication use will not interfere with flight operations prior to approaching local municipalities to install or upgrade cell towers. Allowing each new vertical structure / equipment application to construct an individual tower results in crowded airspace. Above ground utility poles are located in JBSA-Randolph runway approach and departure flight corridors and may be a vertical obstruction to flight operations and pose a safety risk. Water Quality and Quantity is the factor that assesses the quantity and quality of water resources in the JBSA-Randolph JLUS Study Area. This factor evaluates the amount of water that is utilized by the installation relative to the available supply of water and then compares that with the demand and supply that is utilized by the surrounding communities to provide for the necessary public services. In addition to evaluating the water supply, this factor also reviews the overall quality of public water use in the JLUS Study Area. Water quality can be affected by military operations, public recreation use and stormwater drainage. The following Water Quality and Quantity issues have been identified: Edwards Aquifer provides the majority of local water supply and future supplies could be constrained by various demands. Current and future regional water quantity and availability are major concerns. The City of Converse may face additional storm water runoff from the JBSA-Randolph runway if additional paving is installed. Page 29 Please see the next page.  Page 30 6.1 Implementation Plan This section identifies and organizes the recommended actions (strategies) developed through a collaborative effort between representatives of local jurisdictions, JBSA-Randolph (JBSA-Randolph), state and federal agencies, local organizations, the general public and other stakeholders that own or manage land or resources in the region. Because the JBSA-Randolph JLUS is the result of a collaborative planning process, the recommendations in this section represent a true consensus plan; a realistic and coordinated approach to compatibility planning developed with the support of stakeholders involved throughout the process. JLUS strategies incorporate a variety of actions that can be implemented to promote compatible land use and resource planning. Upon implementation, existing and potential compatibility issues arising from the civilian / military interface can be removed or significantly mitigated. As such, the recommended strategies function as the heart of the JLUS document and are the culmination of the planning process. The recommended strategies for JBSA-Randolph JLUS have been tailored to consider the unique flight operations and associated risk factors including Bird / Wildlife Aircraft Strike Hazards (BASH) specific to JBSA-R and to assist the installation and surrounding counties and cities with informed development decisions that protect the aviation mission and growth capability of communities while protecting the public health, safety, and welfare. The JBSA-Randolph mission is unique within the Air Force due to its high volume of pilot training aircraft operations, making the installation control towers the busiest in the Air Force. Due to weather factors and pre-existing high-density development north of JBSA-Randolph, approximately 70-80% of these operations are conducted to the south. The 12th Flying Training Wing conducts over 26,000 sorties annually, including more than 212,000 local takeoffs and landing traffic pattern operations in 2014. In particular, the 12th Flying Training Wing conducted over 115,000 takeoffs and landings on the west runway in 2014 alone with the high-performance T-6 Texan trainer as the primary aircraft accounting for these operations. Due to the requirement to deconflict operations from the east parallel runway, departing aircraft must fly a course heading of 160 degrees to the west of the APZs. However, on every takeoff, there is a 30 second window in which a pilot’s only safe option is to eject in the case of an engine failure. In this circumstance, the probability that the aircraft will land in the APZs is high. The T-38 Talon is a dual-engine fighter-trainer aircraft that operates from the east runway. There is a significantly more acute risk of an accident occurring with this aircraft during traffic pattern operations due the higher speeds and weight of the T-38 compared to the T-6. The 2008 Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ) study indicates that 80 percent of all aircraft mishaps that occur within 10 nautical miles involve fighter-trainer type aircraft. A safety risk assessment conducted by the 12th Flying Training Wing concluded that the development recommendations made by the 2000 and 2008 Air Installation Compatible Use Zone Study (AICUZ) are not sufficiently restrictive to protect the community from the risks involved in high-volume trainer operations and that high-volume trainer operations flown by the 12th Flying Training Wing's 145 T-38, T-6, and T-1 aircraft are not compatible with urban environments. Page 31 Bird / Wildlife Aircraft Strike Hazards present a significant threat to aircraft safety. In particular, there is a significant year-round bird strike risk caused by thousands of migratory and resident white-winged doves that transit JBSA-Randolph's east runway on a daily basis. These birds have become a major problem for JBSA-Randolph and significant resources have been invested to modify the habitat on Base. Unique to Randolph, aircraft operating at this location frequently strike these birds on takeoff which results in a much greater hazard to development in the southern APZs. The bird strike risk is heightened because T-38 engines are highly susceptible to engine loss due to bird ingestion. Due to risk profile associated with the aircraft operations and BASH at JBSA-Randolph, the 12th Flying Training Wing has recommended restrictions on development: Urban development within southern APZ I of either the west or east runway is not compatible. Residential development of 1 house per 10 acres in a non-linear arrangement within southern APZ II of the west runway is compatible. Residential development of 1 house per 20 acres within southern APZ II of the west runway is compatible. Other uses in accordance with AICUZ criteria may be compatible. Residential development within the 65 decibel noise contour is not compatible. Residential construction in these zones presents the possibility of future training restrictions due to the sustained impact of noise on residents. These collective factors and recommended development restrictions are critical considerations that have influenced the unique nature of the recommended strategies as they apply to the JBSA-R JLUS. The key to the implementation of the strategies is the establishment of the JLUS Implementation Task Force to oversee the JLUS execution. Through this Task Force, local jurisdictions, JBSA-Randolph, and other interested parties can continue their initial work together to establish procedures, recommend or refine specific actions for member agencies, and make adjustments to strategies over time to ensure the JLUS continues to resolve key compatibility issues through realistic strategies and implementation. Implementation Plan Guidelines The key to a successful plan is balancing the different needs of all involved stakeholders. Several guidelines formed the basis upon which the strategies were developed: In concert with the Texas state laws, the Implementation Plan was developed with the understanding that the recommended strategies must not result in a taking of property value. In some cases, the recommended strategies can only be implemented with new enabling legislation. In order to minimize regulation, where appropriate, strategies were recommended only for specific geographic areas to resolve the compatibility issue. Similar to other planning processes that include numerous stakeholders, the challenge is to create a solution or strategy that meets the needs of all parties. In lieu of eliminating strategies that do not have 100 percent buy-in from all stakeholders, it was determined that the solution / strategy may result in the creation of multiple strategies that address the same issue but tailored to individual circumstances. It is important to note that the JLUS is not an adopted plan, but rather a recommended set of strategies which should be implemented by the JLUS participants to address current and potential future compatibility issues. Page 32 Military Influence Areas In compatibility planning, the term “Military Influence Area” (MIA) is used to formally designate a geographic area where military operations may impact local communities, and conversely, where local activities may affect the military’s ability to conduct its mission. An MIA is designated to accomplish the following: 1.Promote an orderly transition between community and military land uses so that land uses remain compatible. 2.Protect public health, safety, and welfare. 3.Maintain operational capabilities of military installations and areas. 4.Promote an awareness of the size and scope of military training areas to protect areas separate from the actual military installation (i.e., critical air space) used for training purposes. 5.Establish compatibility requirements within the designated area, such as requirements for sound attenuation and avigation easements. An MIA delineates a geographic area where strategies are recommended to support compatibility planning and JLUS goals and objectives. The MIAs are where the majority of the recommended strategies apply. The proposed JBSA-Randolph, JBSA-Seguin, and Stinson Municipal Airport (Stinson) Military Influence Area Overlay Districts (MIAOD) are areas that incorporate all MIAs and Subzones. To better reflect the area of interest and focus implementation, several MIAs are further divided into subzones. The MIAOD and its subzones including the Controlled Compatible Land Use Area for JBSA-Seguin (CCLUA) are used to define the geographic areas where policies and regulations will be developed and applied to implement the JLUS strategies. This technique ensures the strategies are applied to the appropriate areas, and that locations deemed not subject to a specific compatibility issue are not adversely impacted by regulations inappropriate for their location or circumstance. JBSA-Randolph JBSA-Randolph Military Influence Area Overlay District The JBSA-Randolph MIAOD is a proposed geographic area where strategies associated with each JBSA-Randolph MIA subzone apply. Figure 6.1 illustrates the overall MIAOD with all of the subzones. Figure 6.2 illustrates the MIAOD and areas comprising the BASH and Vertical Obstruction Subzones. Figure 6.3 illustrates the Safety and Noise Subzones encompassed within the MIAOD geographic area. JBSA-Randolph Military Influence Area Subzones The four MIA subzones identified for JBSA-Randolph are shown on Figures 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 and described on the following pages: Bird Air Strike Hazard (BASH) MIA Subzone Vertical Obstruction MIA Subzone Safety MIA Subzone Noise MIA Subzone BASH Military Influence Area Subzone The BASH MIA subzone is characterized by areas that could be affected by bird and wildlife strikes due to low-level flight operations. These operations can impact community activities and conversely, community activities could adversely affect operations in this area if not coordinated with JBSA-R. The BASH MIA subzone is illustrated in Figure 6.2. The BASH subzone represents a 5-mile statistical relevancy area from the center of the runway recommended by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Land uses in this area may be subject to additional regulations to prevent attractants of birds and wildlife that could increase the risk of safety to pilots and aircraft flying at lower speeds and altitudes. Vertical Obstruction Military Influence Area Subzone The Vertical Obstruction MIA subzone includes both the imaginary surfaces and FAA Part 77 guidance for determining vertical obstructions illustrated on Figure 6.2. This combined guidance serves to protect important flight areas for aircraft that operate out of JBSA-Randolph. Within this MIA subzone, strategies address various height restrictions to avoid vertical obstructions. Page 33 500-Foot Vertical Clearance The 500-foot clearance zone is characterized by the vertical limits of the most expansive imaginary surface— the approach and departure clearance surface, illustrated on Figure 6.2. In this surface, for every 50 horizontal feet extending from the end of runway, development can extend one vertical foot up to 500 feet. Land uses should be coordinated with JBSA-Randolph to ensure safety to the public and pilots is of highest priority. Safety Military Influence Area Subzone The Safety MIA Subzone addresses areas that could be affected by low-speed and low-altitude aircraft associated with military training operations. As described in Chapter 3 of the Background Report, the safety zones include the Clear Zone and Accident Potential Zones I and II. These areas are characterized by a high risk for aircraft collisions due to location and types of aviation operations that occur. The size and location of these areas are illustrated in Figure 6.3. New development located within this MIA subzone may be subject to lower densities and potentially other regulations to control attractants for birds and other wildlife. Noise Military Influence Area Subzone The Noise MIA subzone includes all land located off installation within the 65 dB noise contour for JBSA-R. Other noise contours represent subzones for which residential development and other noise sensitive land uses within this MIA subzone may be subject to sound attenuation measures to reduce noise impacts. Figure 6.3 illustrates the Noise MIA subzone.

Figure 7.1 illustrates the overall MIAOD with all of the subzones. Figure 7.2 illustrates the MIAOD and areas comprising the BASH and Vertical Obstruction Subzones. Figure 7.3 illustrates the CCLUA, Safety. And Noise Subzones encompassed within the MIAOD geographic area for JBSA-Seguin airfield. The four MIA subzones and Controlled Compatible Land Use Area (CCLUA) for JBSA-Seguin are identified below, and shown and described on the following pages: BASH MIA Subzone Vertical Obstruction MIA Subzone Controlled Compatible Land Use Area Subzone Safety MIA Subzone Noise MIA Subzone BASH Military Influence Area Subzone The BASH MIA subzone is characterized by areas that could be affected by bird and wildlife strikes due to low-level flight operations. The BASH MIA subzone illustrated in Figure 7.2 represents a 5-mile statistical relevancy area from the center of the runway around the JBSA-Seguin airfield prescribed by the FAA. Certain land uses in this area may be subject to additional regulations to prevent attractants of birds and wildlife that could increase the risk of safety to pilots and aircraft flying at lower speeds and altitudes. Vertical Obstruction Military Influence Area Subzone The Vertical Obstruction MIA subzone includes both the imaginary surfaces and FAA Part 77 guidance for determining vertical obstructions illustrated on Figure 7.2. This combined guidance serves to protect important flight areas for aircraft that operate out of JBSA-S. Within this MIA subzone, strategies address various height restrictions to avoid vertical obstructions. 500-Foot Vertical Clearance The 500-foot clearance zone is characterized by the vertical limits of the most expansive imaginary surface— the approach and departure clearance surface, illustrated on Figure 7.2. In this surface, for every 50 horizontal feet extending from the end of runway, development can extend one vertical foot up to 500 feet. Controlled Compatible Land Use Area Subzone The CCLUA boundary around JBSA-Seguin is the MIA subzone that would allow for airfield zoning coordination and would give land use authority to an established Joint Airport Zoning Board (JAZB), pursuant to Texas Local Government Code, Section 241.014. This MIA subzone defines an area for the JAZB to regulate and adopt airport zoning regulations for lower densities and height restrictions, including areas within the Safety and Noise Subzones, and within the unincorporated portion of Guadalupe County since the county does not have land use authority. The CCLUA boundaries for JBSA-Seguin are shown on Figure 7.3. Noise Military Influence Area Subzone The Noise MIA subzone includes all land located off installation within the 65 dB noise contour for JBSA-Seguin. Other noise contours represent subzones for which noise sensitive land uses within this MIA subzone may be subject to sound attenuation measures to reduce noise impacts. Figure 7.3 illustrates the Noise MIA subzone. Safety Military Influence Area Subzone The Safety MIA subzone addresses areas that could be affected by low-speed and low-altitude aircraft associated with military training operations. As described in Chapter 3 of the Background Report, the safety zones include the Clear Zone and Accident Potential Zones I and II. These areas are characterized by a high risk for aircraft collisions due to location and types of aviation operations that occur. The size and location of these areas are indicated in Figure 7.3. Although development proximate to JBSA-Seguin is minimal, any new development located within this MIA subzone may be subject to lower densities and potentially other regulations.

Figure 8.1 illustrates the overall MIAOD, which is designed to reflect the area comprising all the MIA subzones for Stinson Municipal Airport. Figure 8.2 provides an inset of the Safety and Noise Subzones surrounding the airport. Stinson Municipal Airport Military Influence Area Subzones The four MIA subzones for Stinson are shown in Figure 8.1 and described on the following pages: BASH MIA Subzone Vertical Obstruction MIA Subzone Safety MIA Subzone Noise MIA Subzone BASH Military Influence Area Subzone The BASH MIA subzone is characterized by areas that could be affected by bird and wildlife strikes due to low-level flight operations. The BASH MIA subzone illustrated on Figure 8.1 represents a 5-mile statistical relevancy area from the center of the runway around Stinson. Certain land uses in this area may be subject to additional regulations to prevent attractants of birds and wildlife that could increase the risk of safety to pilots and aircraft flying at lower speeds and altitudes. Vertical Obstruction Military Influence Area Subzone The FAA Part 77 Vertical Obstruction MIA subzone serves to protect important flight areas for aviation operations associated with Stinson. Within this MIA subzone, strategies address height restrictions to avoid vertical obstructions. The Vertical Obstruction MIA subzone for Stinson is depicted on Figure 8.1. Safety Military Influence Area Subzone The Safety MIA subzone addresses areas that could be affected by low-speed and low-altitude aircraft associated with military training operations. Safety zones for civilian airports include Object Free Areas, Runway Protection Zones, Runway Safety Areas and Obstacle Free Zones. These areas are characterized by a high risk for aircraft collisions due to location and types of aviation operations that occur. The size and location of the Stinson Runway Protection Zones are illustrated in Figures 8.1 and 8.2. Noise Military Influence Area Subzone The Noise MIA subzone includes all land located off installation within the 60 dB noise contour for Stinson. Other noise contours represent subzones for which residential development and other noise sensitive land uses within this MIA subzone may be subject to sound attenuation measures to reduce noise impacts.

The purpose of each strategy is to: 1.Avoid future actions, operations, or approvals that would cause a compatibility issue, 2.Eliminate an existing compatibility issue, 3.Reduce the adversity of an existing issue, or 4.Provide for on-going communications and collaboration. To make the strategies easier to use, they are presented in a table format that provides the strategy and information on when and how that strategy will be implemented. Figure 9 highlights the format and content of the strategy table, and the following paragraphs provide an overview of how to read the information presented within each strategy. Issue #. The issue # is an alpha-numeric number that provides a unique reference for each specific issue and strategy. Type of Strategy. This column identifies the type of strategy being recommended. The column contains one of the following acronyms to represent the tool type: Acq Acquisition CIP Capital Improvement Program Comm Communication and Coordination Disc Real Estate Disclosures Hab Habitat Conservation Tools Leg Legislative Tools MIA Military Influence Area MOA Memorandum of Agreement MOU Memorandum of Understanding Plans General / Comprehensive / Master / Hazard / Airport Plans Zon Zoning Ordinance / Subdivision Regulations Geographic Area. This column indicates the applicable Military Influence Area (MIA), if the strategy relates to an area outside JBSA-R. Additional details on MIAs are provided under the previous “Influence Areas” section. Strategy. In bold type is a title that describes the strategy. This is followed by the complete strategy statement that describes the action needed. Timeframe. This column indicates the projected timeframe of each strategy. The timeframes are described below: 2015 Strategy to be initiated by 2015 (within 1‐2 years of JLUS completion) 2017 Strategy to be initiated by 2017 (3 to 5 years from JLUS completion) On-Going An on-going implementation action Responsible Party. At the right end of the strategy table are a series of columns, one for each jurisdiction, military entity, agency, and organization with responsibility for implementing the JLUS strategies. If an entity has responsibility relative to implementing a strategy, a mark is shown under their name. This mark is one of two symbols that represent their role. A solid square () designates that the entity identified is responsible for implementing the strategy. A hollow square () designates that the entity plays a key supporting role, but is not directly responsible for implementation. The responsible parties are identified by their assigned acronym in the heading at the top of each page.
