52	52	163.3175 Legislative findings on compatibility of 27
53	53	development with military installations and ranges; exchange of 28
54	54	information between local governments and military installations 29
55	55	and ranges.— 30
56	56	(1) The Legislature finds that incompatible development on 31
57	57	of land and in state-controlled waters close to military 32
58	58	installations and ranges can adversely affect the ability of 33
59	59	such an installation or range to carry out its mission. The 34
60	60	Legislature further finds that such development also threatens 35
61	61	the public safety because of the possibility of accidents 36
62	62	occurring within the areas surrounding a military installation 37
63	63	or range. In addition, the economic vitality of a community is 38
64	64	affected when military operations and missions must relocate 39
65	65	because of incompatible urban encroachment. Therefore, the 40
66	66	Legislature finds it desirable for the local governments in the 41
67	67	state to cooperate with military installations and ranges to 42
68	68	encourage compatible land use and activities in state -controlled 43
69	69	waters, help prevent incompatible encroachment, and facilitate 44
70	70	the continued presence of major military installations and 45
71	71	ranges in this state. 46
72	72	(2) Certain major military installations and ranges, due 47
73	73	to their mission and activities, have a greater potential for 48
74	74	experiencing compatibility and coordination issues than others. 49
75	75	Consequently, this section and the provisions in s. 50
