Military Awareness Zone:
The subject property lies within the JBSA Randolph, 5-Mile Awareness Zone. In accordance with the executed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the City’s Office of Military Affairs and the JBSA Randolph Military Installation were notified, and the Garrison Commander provided the following response:
a. This site is outside the safety and noise zones of JBSA-RND airfields. This request will not adversely impact operations and delivery of mission requirements.
b. This site is located within the FAA AC No: 150/5200-33B, 10,000 ft. Bird Aircraft Strike Hazard (BASH) Critical Zone of JBSA-Randolph and under the direct approach departure airspace.
c. USDA and 12 FTW/SE recommend that landscaping for this site focus on selecting vegetation that does not attract hazardous bird species (i.e. xeriscaping with native vegetation is the preferred option for this region), and discourage water features (i.e. artificial ponds, reservoirs, retention ponds) that attract hazardous bird species.
d. Recommend newly planted trees (prefer shrubs and smaller vegetation), be planted in a manner that the vegetation does not create a uniform canopy at maturity. During the construction phase, construction trash and water runoff should not create an attractant for hazardous bird species. Questions please contact (210) 652-2224.
e. In order to mitigate potential interference with existing JBSA operational systems, please coordinate with 502 CS Spectrum Manager prior to use of any Spectrum dependent systems (i.e.: two-way radio communications, or any type of wireless technologies) during construction. If applicable, coordination is also requested by facility user prior to installation/use of any Spectrum dependent commercial or manufacturing equipment.
