JBSA Development Requests One Team, One Mission • JBSA has MOU with CoSA DSD for development notification • Dialogue with DSD or land owner result in resolution or compromise • The notification process is another example of the close relationship b/w CoSA and JBSA • 2019 resulted in 12 objections: • Camp Bullis (CB) objections were due to environmental issues – golden cheek warbler and karst invertebrate. Land owner would have to resolve environmental issues to proceed • Lackland (LAK) objections were due to proximity of development near noise contours • Randolph (RAN) were due to proximity to flight line 2 JBSA Vision: The Premier Installation in the Department of Defense!
