Handbook (H-1601-1) Revision DD:
Program Areas: Land Use Planning
Purpose: The purpose of this Information Bulletin (IB) is to
solicit comments on the final draft Land Use Planning Handbook (LUPH) revision.
Background: The first draft of the LUPH revision was issued for
review and comment on
The main purpose of the
revision was to incorporate guidance issued in the form of multiple Instruction
Memorandums (IMs) and IBs since the original release of the LUPH. Some comments were outside the scope of the
revision and they were addressed as time allowed.
Action: We are asking for your review and comment on the final
draft LUPH revision at this time. Please
note that this version has been prepared in a final format (without strikeouts
of previous text, footnotes, etc.).
Major text changes from the
draft are highlighted. There are some changes
and new additions to this version that should be noted in your review. The Recreation section of Appendix C has been
split into two sections – one titled Recreation and Visitor Services and the
other titled Comprehensive Trails and Travel Management. Sections have also been added to Appendix C
on Cave and Karst Resources and Transportation Facilities (the latter was
formerly reserved). Appendix D (Social
Science Considerations) has been substantially revised. Finally, Appendix G-3 (Analysis of the Management
Situation) has been reformatted consistent with the other outlines in Appendix
G and expanded to address habitat conservation opportunities.
When submitting comments,
please reference the Handbook section and page number for each comment. Please
send one set of consolidated comments for each state office or WO group.
