The municipal ordinance shall:
• Be consistent with the most current recommendations and studies titled " Air Installation Compatible Use Zone Study" made by the United States Air Force installations at Altus AFB, Tinker AFB and Vance AFB or studies made by United States Department of the Army installation at Fort Sill titled "Army Compatible Use Buffers" or "similar zoning relating to or surrounding a military installation as adopted by a county, city, or town or an combination of those governmental entities."
• Restrict or prohibit future uses that violate the height restriction of any Federal Aviation Regulation criteria.
• Consider the recommendations or studies in order to protect the public health, safety and welfare, and provide for safe military and aircraft operations, and assure sustainability of installation missions.
• Subject to the provisions and requirements of item 1, not prohibit single-family residential uses on an acre or more if future construction complies with Guidelines for the Sound Insulation of Residences Exposed to Aircraft Operations, Wyle Research Report WR 89-7.
Specifically, the ordinance shall restrict or prohibit future land uses that meet the following categories within the AICUZ or JLUS area:
• Uses that interfere or impair visibility with military operations, including ground operations, such as steam, dust or smoke into the air unless the substance is generated from an agricultural use;
• Uses that interfere with pilot vision and aerial or ground-based night vision training;
• Uses that interfere with military ground and aircraft communications and navigational equipment by producing electrical emissions;
• Uses that attract birds or waterfowl (such as sanitary landfill operations, maintenance of feeding stations);
• Structures within ten feet of defined aircraft approach, departure, or transitional surfaces; or 100 feet beneath a low-level military aircraft training route as provided by the Federal Aviation Administration;
• Expose persons to noise greater than 65 DNL;
• Uses that detract from the aesthetic appearance or make for an unsightly entrance to a military installation (such as automobile salvage yards, disposal sites, waste storage).

• Maximize the state’s input into the federal base closing and realignment process;
• Protect, to the greatest extent possible, the interests of the communities and residents of areas located within and adjacent to such military facilities in connection with such process;
• Mitigate the effect of a reduction in military personnel housed or assigned to such facilities, reduction in military activity associated with such facilities, or other changes in either civilian or military activity which have the potential to reduce employment, business activity, personal income or other economic growth in the affected areas; and
• Encourage and facilitate the relocation of mission responsibilities and resources to state military facilities from military bases located outside of the state.”

• Developed a plan to conduct public projects that protect the entity and its residents from base closure or realignment.
