Site Development Guide - National Capital Planning Commission

INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY CAMPUS - BETHESDASite Development GuideFurther details on these concepts are discussed in the following sections of this site development guide.As these proposed improvements for the ICC-B complex are consistent with existing site operations andhave been designed to minimize current community impacts, the approach is thought to be generally inconformance with the Capital Region Comprehensive Plan.Personnel loading is expected to remain at around 3,000 persons for the planning duration of this project,(25-year projection), therefore no additional traffic loads are projected in association with theredevelopment activity. The new entrance plan did include a detailed traffic impact analysis for theproject which is discussed in Section 4.0 of this guide.Figure 1.7: Conceptual ICC-B facilities aerial perspective, (2011 Planning Team Design Render and Google Earth Background)Coordination of the proposed development with the local community is an ongoing effort and the Corpsof Engineers is maintaining a dialogue with affected citizen groups in the vicinity of the installation tolearn more about community concerns and incorporate their input into redevelopment decisions.Correspondence with these groups is included in Appendix D of this report. Further communityoutreach following the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is planned for early summer 2011.This NEPA process includes extensive coordination of the proposed redevelopment plans with variousstate, local and regional land management authorities. Full partnering with these stakeholders tofacilitate expedited redevelopment of the site was initiated in November of 2010. A significant feature ofthis coordination effort is developing a suitable preservation strategy with the Maryland Department ofHistoric Resources for historic artifacts identified in and around Erskine Hall. Appendix E containsfurther details on this ongoing effort to manage potential historic resource impacts associated with theproposed redevelopment effort.Section 1: Page 9 of 10
