Land tis6 has always been. ail iinpor-ant issue. The pressures of population e3q)ansion, economic and technological advance- iie=pnt, however, have driven homy: the realization that our natural resources are. ,ot limitless. Since land is a central element of those resources, its use and misuse, have become increasingly controversial, and critical. For generations most land use policies and decisions, have been at a local level. Recent years have evidenced a shifting of some of,this respon- sibility- to other levels of government. With the advent of deinstitutionalization in Mental. Neal t1i and against the backdrop of heightened concern faith the appropriate trea:.trent of our natural resources, the Lwid Use Committee of the Department of Mental Health was created. Its pr ima* -y- responsibilities were to identify and evaluat existing D.M.H. land holdings and to suggest potential reuses of that land, not needed by the Department. The Committee 'see Appendix C) spent may months addressing these issues. Through site visits and hours of interviews and discussion, an i irant=y. of holdings as well as reutilization possi_bil:ltie s of cerrtai.n. parcels is on file at the Central OffI-ce. -try I BG became evident after additional deliber°tations, however, that what was also needed at tbir, time is a Departmental policy statement regarding land use and the establishment of a decision making process This report speaks to those needs Because of the complexities of the subject and the state of flux. ar°currl land use issues, it was felt that any recoan andations should be pl.a.ced in a context which would manifest those complexities and. demonstrate the interrelatedness of land use decisions. This is the reason for the follo wing description of the variety of activities and. issues facing lava use policy and planning. federal lavel A~tivit~r The federal Bove grant °s co-neern has been reflected in a variety of legislation over the past several years. For example, as far back as Section 701 of the Housing Act of 1954, planning for urban land use has been encouraged. More recent significant legislation includes the National Env,11-OrMent Policy Act of 196, much requires environmental impact statements to be filod, Ira av~v~2c.v, fc, Poso,d federal programs and projects V,sou)..r.?. „>7,ni,ficantL gaffe-et' tae quality of the buman anviroa^ment , The Federal.
