Steps in Preparing the Fort Belvoir 

BRAC Environmental Impact Statement
The current land use plan was developed in 1993 and subsequently amended in 2002. 

It includes 12 land use designations. The proposed land use plan would include 7 land 

use designations. The diagram below illustrates how the current system would be 

simplified in the proposed land use plan.

*While most of the land currently designated as Environmentally Sensitive would be re-designated as Community (as shown in 

the diagram), other areas of it would be distributed among the remaining new categories. 

For land use planning, land parcels affected by each of the proposed alternatives 

would be re-designated as Professional/Institutional or Community uses. The diagram 

below shows the relationship between the 12 current designations and the 7 that are 

part of the proposed action.
