PURPOSE AND SCOPE.

10 USC 2864 requires all major military installations have a Master Plan. DoDI 4165.70, Real Property Management, establishes the requirement for installation Master Plans. This UFC prescribes DoD minimum requirements for master planning processes and products in accordance with DoDI 4165.70. The process includes the use of a Master Plan and its components as a tool to provide ongoing planning for installations in support of the mission. DoD planners utilize this UFC, the DoDI, and applicable agency instructions to prepare Master Plans and other planning documents. Affiliated design and programming professionals will refer to the Master Plan as they prepare site-specific design proposals. By incorporating today's needs and mission requirements into a compelling vision with clear goals and measurable objectives, installation planners can prepare a Master Plan that sustainably accommodates future change. This UFC outlines a complete process for master planning (and ultimately the development of a Master Plan) through the preparation of linked plans (Functional Annexes) that can be implemented entirely or incrementally based on each installation's needs and resources. A successful Master Plan:

• Provides timely and correct planning information and real property support for installation missions and supports informed decision-making.

• Promotes cooperative and interactive intra- and inter-Service and intergovernmental relationships.

• Incorporates infrastructure, assurance, and anti-terrorism considerations.

• Incorporates climate resilience analysis to ensure mission sustainment over the intended lifespan of the infrastructure and assets.

• Incorporates environmental planning to identify environmental impacts and protect and enhance natural, cultural, and environmental resources while supporting mission requirements.

• Supports and encourages sustainable and energy-efficient development.

• Provides scope for all programs involving real property acquisition, design, and construction; real property management and operation; real property facility utilization and accounting; real property sustainment (maintenance and repair); and disposal of land and facilities.

• Maintains an accurate audit trail of master planning and real property decisions.

• Ensures efficient and compatible land use (identifying and respecting natural and man-made constraints) and maximizes facility utilization.

• Provides input to the privatization of family housing, utilities, and services.

• Sustains ranges and training areas to meet training and testing missions on a consistent and long-term basis.

• Identifies resource requirements directly and indirectly associated with real property sustainment and development.

• Protects an installation's long-term viability by providing capability for growth, expansion of requirements, and flexible facility and land-use decisions that can accommodate changes to missions and/or users.

• Encourages policies and interaction with the local community to avoid encroachment and maximizes opportunities for joint use while preserving mission capability and growth potential.

• Supports federal energy mandates.

• Creates connected and visually pleasing environments by coordinating development, removing clutter, enforcing consistent architectural themes, creating appropriate pedestrian and vehicle circulation patterns, and focusing attention on installation appearance, which can enhance quality of life and contribute to the overall mission.

• Informs and is informed by related plans at each installation, including energy plans, utility capacity plans, range complex Master Plans (RCMP), anti-terrorism (AT) plans, integrated cultural and natural resource management plans, sustainability plans, and transportation plans.

• Supports mitigation of environmental hazards and encroachment as well as effective integration of air installation compatible use zone (AICUZ) and range air installation compatible use zone (RAICUZ) constraints and mission synergy.
