Navy Broadway Complex Background
What is the BRAC process?
The Base Closure and Realignment Commission, known as BRAC, is the process that the Department of Defense has used since 1988 to consolidate or close excess infrastructure to more efficiently and effectively support its forces, increase operational readiness, and facilitate new ways of doing business. A complete explanation of the BRAC process can be found at http://www.defenselink.mil/brac/definitions_brac2005.html
What happens if the project goes back to the BRAC process?
After a military installation has been designated for closure under the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990, the Navy is required to offer the property to other agencies within the Department of Defense (DoD), plus the United States Coast Guard. If no DoD agency or the Coast Guard requests a transfer of the property, it is declared "excess" to the needs of the Department of Defense.
The Navy would then be required to offer the property to other Federal agencies, who could request an interagency transfer of the property, called a "Fed to Fed" transfer.
In a "Fed to Fed" transfer, the Secretary of the Navy must determine whether to grant the request and whether to waive the requirement that the requesting Federal agency pay fair market value for the property, a waiver to which the Director of the Office Of Management And Budget must consent.
In the previous rounds of BRAC in 1988, 1991, 1993, and 1995, other Federal agencies regularly sought to acquire base closure property from the Military Departments through these "Fed to Fed" transfers. Federal agencies acquired about 100,000 acres of base closure property in these four rounds, accounting for 21% of the acreage disposed of in those rounds of base closures and realignments. It is already clear from public statements that other Federal agencies are very interested in base closure property that will be available from the 2005 round of BRAC.
If another federal agency receives the property, it is exempt from local zoning, permitting and taxes. The property could remain "as is" or redeveloped to suit the needs of the federal agency. Assuming no federal agency requests the property, the Secretary of the Navy can make it available to State or local governments, non-profit organizations and private parties under a variety of statutory authorities.
The Office of the Secretary of Defense's Office of Economic Adjustment (OEA) would then recognize a Local Redevelopment Authority (LRA) for the Navy Broadway Complex. The LRA is typically the local governmental entity that has zoning authority over the property, in this case the City of San Diego. The LRA would, with financial support of the Department of Defense, begin a reuse planning process. In past BRACs, this process has taken two to four years. In the case of the Navy Broadway Complex, this would replicate the process that has already been undertaken for the Navy Broadway Complex, costing significant delays in redevelopment.
