Abstract
Washington State’s Puget Sound region is home to three major military installations that work in partnership with neighboring communities to develop land use plans, policies, and regulations supportive of the U.S. Department of Defense mission and community development goals. This thesis evaluates the efficacy of land use compatibility planning processes employed by cities and counties surrounding Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Naval Base Kitsap, and Naval Station Everett. Findings indicate that these military installations and community partners generally engage in effective compatibility planning; and that enduring relationships, adequate resourcing, and relevant planning tools are significant contributors to compatibility planning efficacy. Based on these findings, this thesis recommends the establishment of structured partnerships, the advancement of localized planning guidance and tools, and advocacy for compatibility program funding as considerations for Puget Sound military installations and civilian communities engaging in compatibility planning.
