SEPTEMBER 21, 1993 TO: CITY MANAGER FROM : Planning Director UPDATE OF THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN (CLUP) FOR MCCLELLA PALOMAR AIRPORT The Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) for McClellan-Palom Airport has been updated by the Airport Land Use Commission (ALU staff and is currently out for public review. The formal pub1 review period began August 23, 1993 and will close October 7, 199 Staff met with the County of San Diego airport staff and ALUC sta on a couple of occasions to discuss issues related to the CL update. Staff has several concerns with the draft CLUP dated Mar 1993. The primary concerns are as follows: 1. EXPANSION OF AIRPORT INFLUENCE AREA MAP BOUNDARY The Airport Influence Area (AIA) has been expanded to inclu a three mile radius around the airport plus the take-off a landing tracks north and east of the airport (see Exhibit Airport Influence Area Map). Based on the definition of A (the area of ALUC review and authority), staff is concern that the ALUC would assume land use controls over a lar portion of the City. Although the City is empowered control land use, Pursuant to California Public Utility Co Section 21674, the ALUC may adopt zoning and other regulatc controls within their area of authority. California Public Utility Code Section 21676, the Carlsl; General Plan Land Use Element is required to be consiste with the approved CLUP. Further, pursuant Staff recommends that the AIA boundary expansion be limited a small adjustment along the northern boundary of the AIA accommodate the new future (1995) noise contours for t airport. By limiting the boundary of the AIA at this tilr future planning for anticipated airport growth would requi an amendment to the CLUP. At this time, the County of S Diego does plan to begin the preparation of a long-range ( year) master plan for the airport as required by Californ Public Utility Code Section 21675. Through meetings with County and ALUC staff it is c understanding that the AIA has been expanded in order ensure that new property owners are notified of the proximity to the airport and that their property is subject aircraft overflight from the airport. Neither the issue proposed future airport expansion nor the expansion of AI authority were discussed at meetings with City staff. Ci staff did agree that noticing of new property owners witk to continue noticing new property owners pursuant Administrative Policy 17. the three mile radius of the airport is appropriate and agrc e @ .. .. , SEPTEMBER 21, 1993 CITY MANAGER PAGE 2 RECOMMENDATION Oppose the expansion of the AIA to the three mile radi around the airport plus the take-off and landing tracks to t north and east. Support an Airport influence area with boundary enlarged slightly to the north to encompass the n future airport (1995) noise contours. Support t establishment of an official CLUP recognized airpo notification area to be the area covered by the three mi radius around the airport plus the take-off and landing trac to the north and east. 2. AVIGATION EASEMENTS Avigation easements are air rights easements which protect a traffic lanes around the airport. Avigation easemen generally indemnify airport operators of liability from nois In the existing CLUP it is suggested that the City of Carlsb obtain avigation easements (as part of discretionary action from property owners when the project is consider tlconditionally compatiblell on the Airport Noise/Land U Compatibility Matrix (see Exhibit 2, Airport Noise/Land U Compatibility Matrix). The City has not typically pursued t acquisition of these avigation easements. In the draft CLUP, the text has been revised to require th the City obtain avigation easements in areas deen l1Conditionally Compatiblet1 on the Airport Noise/Land I! Compatibility matrix. Staff does not believe that requiri a property owner to give-up a property right mitigates noi impacts. Therefore, staff cannot support the stipulation th avigation easements be required in areas consider ttconditionally compatiblelt on the Airport Noise/Land U Compatibility Matrix. However, staff does support requiri avigation easements when projects are deemed llincompatibl pursuant to the Airport Noise/Land Use Compatibility Matrix the CLUP. RECOMMENDATION Oppose the requirement that avigation easements be requir for uses deemed llconditionally compatiblell on the Airpc Noise/Land Use Compatibility Matrix of the CLUP. Support t stipulation that aviqation easements be required for e project approved in an area designated on the Airpc Noise/Land Use Compatibility Matrix as ttincompatible.tt 3. AIRPORT NOISE/LAND USE COMPATIBILITY MATRIX City staff has reviewed the proposed Airport Noise/Land 1 Compatibility Matrix as presented in the draft CLUP. StE believes that the matrix should be amended to permit gc courses in areas impacted by noise levels above 75 dBA CNI e 8 .. SEPTEMBER 21, 1993 CITY MANAGER PAGE 3 In the draft document, golf courses are only consider compatible with noise levels below 70 dBA CNEL, while us which expose more people to higher noise levels, such commercial-wholesale, industrial, manufacturingandextracti industry uses are considered compatible with noise levels excess of 70 dBA CNEL. City staff believes that the gc course use is a less intensive use (exposing fewer people airport noise impacts) than most of the land uses noted abc and should therefore be permitted at the higher noise leve RECOMMENDATION Revise the Airport Noise/Land Use Compatibility Matrix permitting golf course uses in areas impacted by noise leve in excess of 75 dBA CNEL (category 10 of the attached Exhih 2.1 4. CITY POLICY ON SPECIAL TREATMENT AREAS WITHIN THE AIRPC INFLUENCE AREA Currently the City has a special overlay zone called a Speci Treatment Area that is the area covered by the adopted Airpc Influence Area. The standards of the Special Treatment AI require a specific plan be prepared for all projects over acres in size and ensure that smaller projects comply with t noise standards of the approved CLUP and FAA heiZ restrictions for health and safety. This policy is discuss in the proposed CLUP. In an effort to streamline project review procedures, ste recommends that the City's current policy be revised. St: is recommending that the policy be revised by deleting t requirement for a specific plan for projects in excess of acres in size, and require that within the Airport Influer Area all proposed projects comply with the noise standards the CLUP and meet FAA requirements with respect to buildj height and the provision of obstruction lighting when the I permits portions of structures to penetrate the transitior surface (a 7 to 1 slope from the runway primary surface). RECOMMENDATION Support that current City policy with respect to Spec: Treatment Areas around the airport be revised and that thc policy revisions be reflected in the proposed CLUP updal The new City policy would require that within the Airpc Influence Area all proposed projects comply with the no: standards of the CLUP and meet FAA requirements with respt to building height and the provision of obstruction light: when appurtenances are permitted to penetrate the transitioi surface (a 7 to 1 slope from the runway primary surface). a e .. 1 SEPTEMBER 21, 1993 CITY MANAGER PAGE! 4 The above recommendations were supported by the Planni Commission at their meeting of September 15, 1993. At tk: meeting the Planning Commission recommended that staff reque City Council to review the above concerns, including t recommendation to oppose the expansion of the Airpc Influence Area. The Planning Commission further recommend that the City Council use their powers to the fullest exte to ensure that the Airport Influence Area expansion does r occur, except as necessary to accommodate the expanded (195 airport noise contours.
