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.

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.
