land use plan

The development plan seeks to achieve orderly reuse and redevelopment, while being responsive to market demands. The plan includes military conveyance of property and construction of vital infrastructure, while preserving the historic buildings and the unique atmosphere of McClellan.

The first 5-years have been characterized primarily by absorption of some of the existing inventory of non-residential buildings and absorption of the residential housing inventory. Phase 2 will see the remaining inventory of existing buildings and construction of new dwellings and sale of land to promote a variety of new retail, office, and industrial (manufacturing and warehousing) development. Phase 2 will promote primarily industrial uses. By the end of the 15-year period, the existing buildings will be in use and sufficient land will remain to support substantial additional new development.

Reuse of the extensive inventory of existing retail, office, and industrial buildings and building of sites to accommodate future nonresidential development is the key player of achieving JPA objectives because they represent the greater share of buildings and land as well as revenue potential. Non-residential reuse is phased to coincide with anticipated market demands. Buildings with the highest probability of immediate reuse are the priority targets for remediation and rehabilitation efforts, allowing local marketing efforts to commence as soon as possible. Other buildings have been mothballed in order to maintain the viability of the existing mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems and structural integrity of the structures until such time in the future when market demands support reuse.

Not all users interested in a McClellan location will find existing buildings suited to their specific needs. Thus, many additional users will be attracted to the opportunities for "build-to-suit" facilities. Many existing buildings may require upgrades to meet building or ADA codes.

The industrial market consists of a wide variety of users, with a corresponding diversity of building needs. McClellan's strategic location within the southeast region combined with the availability of sites and highway accessibility will promote new construction, even prior to the lease-up of existing facilities.
