About RLUAC

The Fort Bragg Regional Land Use Advisory Commission began in 1991 as an informal group of local governments, Fort Bragg, Pope Air Force Base, and various state and federal agencies that worked together to promote compatible growth and the conservation of critical environmental resources around the installations. After a brief hiatus in the late 1990s, the Commission was re-formed as a voluntary association that was focused on preparing a new Joint Land Use Study for the region. In 2005, the original group of local governments formally established RLUAC as a statutory intergovernmental cooperation agency and hired the first Executive Director to administer the organization. Over the years, the organization has grown and expanded its partnerships and mission, including holding a formal agreement with the Fort Bragg Garrison to provide statutory reviews for land use and development proposals within 5 miles of the installation. 

RLUAC's Mission

RLUAC works to preserve and protect Fort Bragg’s training and operational missions from incompatible civilian development patterns and environmental degradation.

RLUAC provides a forum for communication between Fort Bragg and local governments.

RLUAC works to educate and inform local government leaders, the development community, legislative representatives and the general public about compatible growth and environmental issues.

RLUAC provides local governments with timely, credible and authoritative analysis of the compatibility of land use and development proposals with the military training and operational missions of Fort Bragg.

RLUAC assists local governments with the adoption of plans and policies that foster compatible growth and protect critical environmental resources.

Land Use Reviews

RLUAC provides statutory reviews of land use and development proposals within 5 miles of Fort Bragg. Cases are reviewed to determine whether the proposed activity is within an area identified as being either critical or important to protect in the Fort Bragg Compatible Use Rating System, and if so, whether the nature of the proposal is compatible with the military training or operational impacts in the area. Our review also determines whether there are any environmental considerations that have a nexus with the installation's environmental protection mission, such as preserving habitat for threatened and endangered species.

Where a compatible growth concern is identified, RLUAC issues comment letters to advise the local government and property owner / developer of the compatibility issues and potential mitigation measures, if any are available. All comment letters issued by RLUAC are first reviewed by the Land Use Committee, including representatives from Fort Bragg, prior to distribution to the local government.
