Prior BRAC Disposal Tools

10 USC Section 2869
8
What Is 10 U.S.C. Section 2869?
  • Provides the authority for the disposal of real
    property at closing or realigning installations
    in exchange for military construction.
  • It is another tool to use in disposing of
    military property.
  • This authority may be exercised at any time
    after the date of approval of the closure or
    realignment. (BRRM Section C5.5.10)
  • At the end of the BRAC process
  • Potential to use Pre-Surplus

9
Potential LRA Advantages Prior to Surplus
  • If exercised prior to a determination of surplus,
    could significantly expedite property conveyance
    and redevelopment compared to the traditional
    BRAC process.
  • Provides early property tax revenue benefits.
  • Supports early community involvement and
    collaboration in the planning and development
    process.
  • Utilizes private sector expertise and allows for
    enhancement of Townships police powers through a
    Development Agreement.

10
Benefits to Military Services
  • Provides military construction in support of Navy
    BRAC 05 realignment actions.
  • Saves federal tax payer dollars by realizing FMV
    in the marketplace and freeing up valuable
    resources to support defense needs.
  • Consistent with DoD BRAC 05 policy to act
    expeditiously, fully utilize all appropriate
    means of transfer, rely on and leverage market
    forces, and to collaborate effectively with the
    community.
  • Opportunity to accelerate property conveyance.

11
What this means for the Community
  • Each installation and LRA are unique A prompt
    and willing community response is needed to
    formulate a process that is mutually beneficial
    to all stakeholders.
  • Navy will protect the integrity of the LRAs
    planning process.
  • Township would continue its responsibility for,
    and control of, land use planning, zoning, and
    entitlements.
  • Township still retains complete community input
    that is critical to the land use planning effort.
  • Public benefit uses and homeless needs would
    still be addressed.
  • New property owners would work cooperatively with
    the Township regarding the application of
    existing entitlements and zoning, as well as any
    enhancements through a Development Agreement.

12
What Happened at Concord
  • Offer. Navy received two unsolicited proposals
    to exercise this authority at NWS Concord.
  • Timing. NWS Concord is already in a state of
    operational closure. It is the only Navy closure
    with no troops to relocate, thus giving us a
    unique opportunity to transfer property
    unimpeded.
  • Funding. Navys budget is under tremendous
    strain.
  • Commitment. Navy will not proceed without City
    concurrence.
  • Decision. City desired to follow traditional
    BRAC process. Navy honored that decision.

13
How It Might Work
  • Conceptual approach to be vetted among the
    stakeholders.
  • Examine a potential process forward with the LRA.
  • Navy initiates NEPA process. (approx 18 months)
  • LRA solicits homeless assistance and public use
    input.
  • LRA develops a conceptual land use plan based on
    community input.
  • Navy completes NEPA actions based on the
    conceptual land use plan.
  • Navy exercises Section 2869 authority to convey
    property.
  • - Limited to qualified developers determined
    with LRA involvement.
  • Property recipient to work with LRA to redevelop
    the property.

14
The First Steps
  • Establish a Specialized Process Team to develop
    this approach
  • Include representatives from Township Council,
    LRA, Navy, etc.
  • Conduct a series of working sessions
  • Identify team goals
  • Land use planning process options
  • Community identify public benefit uses
  • Incorporate homeless assistance needs
  • Outreach and public communication
  • Hold public meetings

15
In Conclusion
  • Navy received an unsolicited proposal at Willow
    Grove.
  • Navy is not pushing this conveyance mechanism.
  • Implementing the Section 2869 process may not be
    easy.
  • The homeless assistance process will need to be
    incorporated into the conveyance.
  • LRAs maintain full control of all land use
    planning efforts, entitlements and zoning.
  • The exchange authority under 10 U.S.C. Section
    2869 provides the Navy an opportunity to meet
    its military construction obligations by
    utilizing the exchange authority in concert with
    the community's reuse planning efforts.
