CED 3/27/12 GPA 10-02 - AIRPORT LAND USE COMPATIBILITY DEPT. DIRECTOR CITY ATTORNEY CITY MANAGER RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council hold a public hearing and ADOPT Resolution No. 2012-075 . APPROVING a General Plan Amendment (GPA 10-02) and an amendment to the City of Carlsbad Noise Guidelines Manual, based upon the findings contained therein. ITEM EXPLANATION: Project Planning Commission City Council GPA 10-02 RA X Noise Guidelines Manual RA X RA = Recommended adoption/approval X = Final City decision-making authority This proposal is City-initiated and consists of: (1) amendments to the text and maps of the General Plan Land Use, Circulafion, Noise and Public Safety Elements; and 2) amendments to the text, figures and tables of the City of Carisbad Noise Guidelines Manual. The purpose of the proposed amendments is to incorporate by reference the McClellan-Palomar Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (Compatibility Plan) adopted by the San Diego County Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) into Carisbad's General Plan and make other minor modificafions to ensure that the General Plan and Noise Guidelines Manual are consistent with the Compatibility Plan. On January 4, 2012, a public hearing was held by the Planning Commission to consider the proposed amendments to the General Plan (GPA 10-02) and Noise Guidelines Manual. No members ofthe public spoke in regard to the project, and the Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of the proposed amendments (6 - 0 in favor, Arnold absent). Staff's analysis and a more detailed description of the proposed amendments is contained in the Report to the Planning Commission, dated January 2, 2012 (Exhibit 3). On February 9, 2012, the ALUC made a determination that GPA 10-02 and the amendment to the Noise Guidelines Manual are consistent with McClellan-Palomar Airport Land Use Compafibility Plan. FISCAL IMPACT: The only anticipated fiscal impact would be from staff fime required to complete the amendment process.

In January 25, 2010, the ALUC adopted a Negative Declaration for the ALUCP and found that there was no substanfial evidence that the Compatibility Plan for the McClellan-Palomar Airport would have a significant effect on the environment. The City of Carisbad's acfion, through GPA 10-02, is to incorporate by reference the adopted ALUCP into its General Plan and make other minor modifications to ensure that the General Plan and Noise Guidelines Manual are consistent with the ALUCP. The city's action does not enact the regulations established by the ALUCP, as these have been in effect since the document was adopted by the ALUC. By making Carisbad's General Plan consistent with the ALUCP, certain enforcement authorities are transferred to the city from the ALUC, but the subject regulations are not changed. Therefore, as the regulations of the ALUCP are already in effect, and the ALUC found the adoption of the ALUCP would not have a significant effect on the environment, it can be seen with certainty that amendments to make the General Plan and Noise Guidelines Manual consistent with the existing ALUCP will not result in a significant effect on the environment.

The proposed amendments are necessary to ensure consistency with the McClellan- 5 Palomar Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan, as amended on March 4, 2010, as well as California Public Utilities Code Sections 21670 - 21679.5, which require a 6 local jurisdiction to amend its general plan to be consistent with the applicable airport land use compatibility plan, or to take the steps necessary to overrule it. 2. The McClellan-Palomar Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan, as amended on 8 March 4, 2010, is incorporated by reference into the General Plan as shown on exhibits listed above. 3. The proposed amendments do not conflict with the other regulations of the General Plan that are not proposed for amendment in GPA 10-02. Furthermore, the J J proposed amendment is consistent with the following Land Use Element goals and policies: 12 Goal: Special Planning Considerations - Airport: A city which maintains land use 13 compatibility between the McClellan-Palomar Airport and surrounding land uses. 14 Policy: Special Planning Considerations - Airport, Policy C.2: Coordinate with the San Diego Association of Governments (now the San Diego County Regional 1^ Airport Authority, acting as the ALUC, see underline/strikeout exhibit) and the Federal Aviation Administration to protect the public health, safety and welfare by ensuring the orderly operation of the Airport and the adoption of land use measures jy that minimize the public's exposure to excessive noise and safety hazards within the areas around the airport. 4. The City of Carlsbad Noise Guidelines Manual is an implementation document for 19 the General Plan and the amendments proposed through GPA 10-02 are necessary in order to maintain consistency with the General Plan. Furthermore, the proposed 20 amendments do not conflict with the remaining policies of the Noise Guidelines Manual that are not proposed for amendment in GPA 10-02. 5. The City Planner has determined the project is exempt from the Califomia Environmental 22 Quality Act (CEQA) because it will not have a significant effect on the environment. This determination is pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b) (3), which states "when it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the 24 activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA."

Permitted land uses may include retail stores, offices, financial institutions, restaurants and tourist-serving facilities. Residential uses can be intermixed throughout the area. The Village Area is regulated by the Carlsbad Village Master Plan. f. Office and Related Commercial (O): This classification designates areas that are compatible with and environmentally suited for office and professional uses, as well as related commercial uses. This designation is especially appropriate for medical office use. Office and related commercial land use can be used as buffers between retail commercial areas and residential uses. 4. PLANNED INDUSTRIAL (PI) Planned Industrial land uses include those areas currently used for, proposed as, or adjacent to industrial development, including manufacturing, warehousing, storage, research and development, and utility use. Agricultural and outdoor recreation uses on lots of one acre or more are considered to be a proper interim use for industrially designated areas. 5. GOVERNMENTAL FACILITIES (G) This classification of land use designates areas currently being used for major governmental facilities by agencies such as the city, county, state, or federal government. Facilities within this category may include uses such as civic buildings, libraries, maintenance yards, police and fire stations and airports (McClellan- Palomar Airport). Smaller facilities, such as branch libraries, may be found in other land use designations, such as commercial, and are not shown on the land use map. The largest facility within this classification is the McClellan-Palomar Airport located at the center of the City. The airport, owned and operated by San Diego County, sefves-as a majof-gemfal aviatioBis ciassified bv the Federal Aviation Administration as a commerciai service airport and provides qeneral aviation, business iets and iimited commuter airline services to-laG4tity-4Qy northern San Diego County. More detailed discussions related to the airport may be found under Special Planning Considerations, as well as in the Noise, Circulation, and Public Safety Elements. 6. PUBLIC UTILITIES (U) This category of land use designates areas, both existing and proposed, either being used or which may be considered for use for public or quasi-public functions. Primary functions include such things as the generation of electrical energy, treatment of waste water, public agency maintenance storage and operating facilities, or other primary utility functions designed to serve all or a substantial portion of the community. Sites identified with a "U" designation indicate that the City is studying or may in the future evaluate the location of a utility facility which could be located within a one kilometer radius of the designations on a site for such a facility. Specific siting for such facilities shall be accomplished only by a change of zone, and an approved Precise Development Plan adopted by ordinance and approved only after fully noticed public hearings. 7. SCHOOLS This land use classification represents both existing and proposed school sites necessary to serve the ultimate planning area. Sites are designated as elementary, junior high, high school, continuation school, and private school facilities. For additional discussion see Special Planning Considerations A. Schools. 8. OPEN SPACE & COMMUNITY PARKS (OS) The Land Use Map shows the generalized boundaries of constrained lands and presently designated open space, including existing parks and special resource areas. It is not intended that the map show all future open space. The Open Space and Conservation Element of the Undertine/Strilfeout Exhibit Section II.D.4 Exhibit X-1 Land Use Element 2. VILLAGE The Village is the segment of the community located in the "downtown" Carlsbad. The Carlsbad Village Master Plan provides an overall development strategy to create a strong identity for the Village, revitalize the area, enhance the economic potential of the Village and establish specific site development standards. The intent of the Carlsbad Village Master Plan is to preserve the village character of the area by creating a pedestrian scale environment of specialty shops, services, and restaurants complemented by residential and mixed-use development. Cartsbad Village Master Plan should be referred to for more detailed information. 3. COASTAL ZONE PROGRAMS In 1972, California voters approved Proposition 20 which led to the enactment of the State law (California Coastal Act of 1976) which regulates any development within California's Coastal Zone. The Coastal Act requires that individual jurisdictions adopt Local Coastal Programs (LCP) to implement the State law at a local level. Carlsbad's Local Coastal Program is consistent with the General Plan, but it is a separate document containing separate land use policies and implementation measures which must also be complied with in addition to the General Plan. Approximately one-third of the City is located within the Coastal Zone. The City's coastal zone has been divided into six segments and each segment is regulated by separate LCPs (See Map 4: Local Coastal Program Boundary). The boundaries of the City's Coastal Zone which were established by the State are depicted on the Land Use Map. Almost every conceivable type of development proposal within the Coastal Zone from removal of natural vegetation to the construction of huge master planned communities, requires the approval of a Coastal Development Permit (CDP) in addition to any other permits or entitlements. The land use policies, programs and regulations of the relevant LCP shall be referred to in addition to the General Plan, the Municipal Code and other pertinent regulations for guiding land use and development within the Coastal Zone. Although the City has adopted LCP segments for all of its Coastal Zone, it only has authority to issue Coastal Development Permits within the Redevelopment segment. In the remaining five segments the California Coastal Commission currently retains Coastal Development Permit authority. Carlsbad is actively pursuing the lengthy task of effectively implementing the five LCP segments in order to transfer permit authority to the City. In those circumstances where an issue is not addressed by the Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan, but is addressed by the City of Carlsbad General Plan, no coastal development permit, or exemption may be granted unless the project considered is found by the appropriate authority to be consistent with the City of Carlsbad General Plan. In those circumstances where an issue is addressed by both the Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan and the City of Carlsbad General Plan, the terms of the Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan shall prevail. 4. McCLELLAN-PALOMAR AIRPORT California iaw reauires preparation of airport iand use compatibility plans for each public-use and military airport in the state. The basic function of such plans is to promote compatibility between airports and the land uses that surround them.

If the City chooses to overrule a finding of the Airport Land Use Commission as stated in the CUJPALUCP, it may do so by a two-thirds vote if it makes a specific findings that the General Plan an44he C-k-UP afe-js consistent with the intent of state airport iand use planninq statutes. To limit noise impacts on noise sensitive land uses, the City has designated areas surrounding the Airport for predominately planned industrial uses. To accomplish this, a significant amount of nonresidential land has been designated on the plan, possibly exceeding what is needed to serve and accommodate future residential uses located exclusively in Cartsbad. As such, future re-designation of planned residential areas to non-residential uses to accommodate future airport growth would not be supported. (Also see UA designations.) 5. AGRICULTURE Agnculture is an important resource in Carlsbad. The City's agricultural policies are intended to support agricultural activities while planning for the possible future transition of the land to more urban uses consistent with the policies of the General Plan and the Cartsbad Local Coastal Program (LCP). The City's LCP protects agricultural lands from the premature conversion to more urban land uses by establishing programs which require mitigation for conversion of agncultural property to urban uses. It also has established methods to benefit agriculture in the community by providing financial assistance through cash programs. While the City encourages agriculture, it recog- nizes the potential problems associated with ag- ricultural land use. For example, to prevent the destruction of sensitive wild and archaeological resources, clearing and grubbing of natural areas for agriculture requires a permit and environmental review. Also, the City encourages conservation techniques in agricultural activities to reduce soil erosion and water usage. 6. REGIONAL ISSUES As a member of the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), the City is participating with other cities in the county to develop a Regional Growth Management Strategy. This effort recognizes the fact, that as separate entities, each city cannot solve region- wide issues. Together, however, a strategy can be developed to establish a framework for a "regional community" with an improved quality of life. Cartsbad recognizes its role as a participant in this effort which focuses on the following nine important environmental and economic factors: a. Air Quality b. Transportation System and Demand Management c. Water d. Sewage Treatment e. Sensitive Lands Preservation and Open Space Protection f. Solid Waste Management g. Hazardous Waste Management h. Housing i. Economic Prosperity. 7. AREAS NEEDING ADDITIONAL PLANNING For a variety of reasons, there are areas within the City that have unresolved land use considerations which should be addressed prior to the occurrence of a significant amount of further development. The City has planned for these areas on a General Plan level but due to their unique characteristics they will require a more specific level of planning review to ensure that such characteristics are addressed comprehensively. More specific levels of review may include such mechanisms as specific plans, site development plans, special studies, or overiay zones. Locations that have been identified as having unresolved planning considerations are discussed briefly below for determination at a future time. Other areas may be identified in the future as also requiring additional review. II Underline/Strikeout Exhibit Section III.

Special Planning Considerations - Airport Land Use Element Airport and the adoption of land use measures that minimize the public's exposure to excessive noise and safety hazards within areas around the airport. Underline/Strikeout Exhibit Section I.D Exhibit X-2 CIRCULA TION ELEMENT Safety Elements. All these elements address various aspects of the circulation system and together they provide the basic policies and guidelines for the development of a safe, efficient and aesthetically pleasing transportation network. These elements should be referred to for more detailed discussion. For example, the public facilities discussed in the Circulation Element are also discussed in the Land Use Element. It is the policy of the City of Carisbad that the Circulation Element be consistent with all other elements ofthe General Plan. D. THE CITY OF CARLSBAD SETTING The dominant natural and manmade features in Carisbad, which establish the framework within which the circulation network must function, include the Pacific Ocean to the west, the three natural lagoons extending from the ocean to the interior of the City, the steep hills and canyons which punctuate the eastern half of the community. Highway 78 along the northern boundary, the Coast Highway, the AT&SF railroad and Interstate 5. These features all serve to separate the coastal portion of the City from the interior portion. There are three major, existing, arterial roads in the City, including. El Camino Real which runs north and south through the center of the City, Palomar Airport Road which runs east and west through the center of the City, and Rancho Santa Fe Road which runs along the southern and easteriy boundary of the City. In addition, Carisbad has a general -aviation-eomm^itefcommercial service airport located in the central portion of the City adjacent to the intersection of Palomar Airport Road and El Camino Real. Goals, objectives, and policies and programs related to air transportation are included in this element, but are also discussed in the Land Use Element. manner within a climate of increasingly strict environmental guidelines. The City must also fmd ways to refine the existing circulation network in the developed portions of the City to accommodate increased redevelopment activity and the development of surrounding communi- ties. Finally, it is recognized that the City circulation system is a part of the larger regional, state, and national transportation systems. As such, the City circulation system will continue to be influenced by the demands placed upon it by larger transportation system needs. E. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM , The construction of unbuilt circulation element roads and public utilities will be brought about through a combination of construction activities undertaken by the development community and the City of Carisbad. The guiding theme for the construction of the circulation element infrastruc- ture is the provision of facilities prior to or concurrent with the need for such facilities. To this end the City has established the Growth Management Program, the Capital Improvement Program and a development exaction program consisting of public facility impact fees and direct developer construction of public road, public trail and utility improvements. The Growth Management Program establishes minimum standards for the provision of basic public infrastructure including circulation element roads, sewer collection, sewer treatment, water distribution and flood control. In addition, the Growth Management Program requires the preparation of Local Facilities Management Plans to ensure that the public facility standards are met through buildout for each of the 25 local facility zones. Given the existing topographic constraints, the City has developed an integrated land use and circulation plan to take advantage of the natural landform features and the existing transportation facilities. A major challenge for the City in the future will be to complete the remaining roadway segments of the Circulation Element in a timely 1^ Underline/Strikeout Exhibit Section II.

PUBLIC UTILITY AND STORM DRAINAGE FACILITIES A. Goals A.l A City with a comprehensive network of utilities and storm drainage facilities which provide appropriate public utility and flood control services to all land uses. A. 2 A City in which the public utility and storm drainage infrastructure are constructed concurrent with or prior to the actual de- mand for such facilities. B. Objectives B.l To maintain a clear and consistent set of standards for the design and construction of public utilities. B.2 To implement and regulariy update devel- oper fee programs for the financing of public utility and storm drainage facilities. B.3 To enhance the economic value of property and improve the economic competitiveness of the City through the construction of well designed, efficient and cost effective public utility and storm drainage facilities. B.4 To maintain current master plans for the expansion of local public facilities for sewer, potable water, reclaimed water and storm drainage. B. 5 To comply with all federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding the preser- vation and enhancement of water quality. C. Implementing Policies and Action Programs c.1 Require new development to construct all public facilities needed to serve the pro- posed development prior to or concurrent with the circulation needs created by the development. C.2 Develop, and update periodically, a set of standards for the design and construction of public utilities. C.3 Coordinate the planning and construction of public utilities with existing public utilities in adjoining neighborhoods. 15 Underline/Strikeout Exhibit Exhibit X-3 NOISE ELEMENT L INTRODUCTION A. BACKGROUND AND INTENT The goal of the Noise Element is to achieve and maintain an environment which is free from objectionable, excessive or harmful noise. The Noise Element Identifies and defines existing and future environmental noise levels from sources of noise within or adjacent to the City of Carisbad by means of Noise Contour maps. Establishes goals, objectives and policies to mitigate these noise impacts. Provides policies and action programs to implement the Goals and Objectives. "The Goal of the Noise Element is to achieve and maintain an environment which is free from objectionable, excessive or harmful noise." B. STATE LAW Section 65302(f) of California's Planning and Zoning Laws requires a Noise Element which identifies and appraises noise problems in the community. The Noise Element shall recognize the guidelines established by the Office of Noise Control in the State Department of Health Services and shall analyze and quantify, to the extent practicable, as determined by the legislative body, current and projected noise levels for all of the following sources: 1. Highways and freeways; 2. Primary arterial and major local streets; 3. Passenger and freight online railroad operations and ground rapid transit systems; 4. Commercial, general aviation, heliport, helistop, and military airport operations, aircraft overflights, jet engine test stands, and all other ground facilities and maintenance functions related to airport operation; 5. Local industrial plants, including, but not limited to, railroad classification yards; and 6. Other ground stationary noise sources identified by local agencies as contributing to the community noise environment. Noise contours shall be shown for all of these sources and stated in terms of community noise equivalent level (CNEL) or day-night average level (Ldn). The noise contours shall be prepared on the basis of noise monitoring or following generally accepted noise modeling techniques for the various sources identified in paragraphs (1) to (6), inclusive. The noise contours shall be used as a guide for establishing a pattern of land uses in the Land Use Element that minimizes the exposure of community residents to excessive noise. The Noise Element shall include implementation measures and possible solutions that address existing and foreseeable noise problems, if any. The adopted Noise Element shall serve as a guideline for compliance with the state's Noise Insulation Standards. C. RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER ELEMENTS The Noise Element is correlated with the Land Use, Circulation, and Housing Elements of the General Plan. The Land Use Element is related to the Noise Element in that noise can have a significant impact on land use. The Circulation Element is related to the Noise Element in that the majority of the noise created in Carisbad is created by trains, planes or automobiles. The Housing Element relates to the Noise Element by iDromoting desirable residential environments which buffer existing and future residents from undesirable noise impacts. Consistent with state law, it is the policy of the City that the Noise Element be consistent with all General Plan Elements. II. SOURCES OF NOISE A. CIRCULATION Page 1 (9 Underline/strikeout Exhibit Exhibit X-3 NOISE ELEMENT 1. ROADS Roadway traffic noise is the most extensive noise problem faced by Carlsbad. Barring any dramatic changes in truck or automobile usage patterns, it is likely that the amount of traffic in Carisbad will grow with the City's population. New development is occurring adjacent to major roadways throughout the City. Unless precautionary measures are taken, serious noise problems could result. "Roadway traffic noise is the most extensive noise problem faced by Carlsbad." Vehicular noise has three main component sources: engine/transmission nojse, exhaust noise and tire noise. The intensity of noise emissions from any given vehicle will vary with its size and other factors, such as speed, acceleration, braking, roadway grade and conditions of the roadway surface. Thus a busy downtown arterial with stop and go traffic is often noisier than an open highway with comparable traffic volumes. Noise contours have been prepared for all Circulation Element roadways in Carisbad as shown on the current and future noise exposure maps (See Map 1: Existing Noise Exposure Contour Map and Map 2: Future Noise Exposure Contour Map). Interstate 5 has the greatest existing and projected roadway noise emissions. In addition, 1-5 impacts the greatest number of existing dwellings. There are a considerable number of existing single family and multi-family dwellings which are impacted by freeway noise levels in excess of 65 dBA CNEL. For these existing dwellings, noise attenuation is difficult. Construction of solid barriers along the freeway is possible, but cost may be prohibitive. The City can, however, educate property owners as to the methods of insulating existing residential units from freeway noise through the use of barriers and insulation materials. The City's "Development Review: Noise Guidelines Manual" is a useful reference. While other routes within the City have a lesser impact than does 1-5, many roads will still have significant noise impact potential and new projects should therefore be subject to noise impact evaluation. It is important that new development fronting on major roadways be compatible with the recommendations of this element. The action plan section of this element contains the measures intended to avert future problems caused by traffic noise. 2. AIRPORT McClellan-Palomar Airport is presently operating as a oenefal-commercial serviceavtatiofl facility and is located west of El Camino Real, just north of Palomar Airport Road in the City of Carlsbad. The—ak-p0#s----Gyrferrt—annua!—-opefation—©f a^pim4mate}y-"245-,-()00~aiFGraft---is---«^ increase—at the—airport's—ultimate—buildout G0f^iti0n---tQ---appf0x-ifflately-.a34TOOOT--State iaw requires reqionai airport iand use commissions to prepare airport land use compatibilitv plans in order to "provide for the orderly growth of each public airport and the area surrounding the airport. ..fand tol safeguard the qeneral welfare of the inhabitants within the vicinity of the airport and the public in qeneral (Public Utilities Code Section 21675)." Such compatibility plans must be based on a long range master pian or airport layout plan that refiects the airport's anticipated grovyth over the next 20 years. The McClellan- Palomar Airport Land Use Compatibilitv Plan (ALUCP) is based upon the airport's 1997 Airport Master Plan. Therefore, for purposes of General Plan land use planning within the vicinity of the airport, the Citv of Carisbad reiies on the 1997 Airport IVIaster Plan and ALUCP. Current annual aircraft operations of 201.100 (as of 2006) are expected to increase over the next 20 years to approximatelv 289.100. based on its master pian. In general, land in the immediate vicinity of the airport or under the take off or landing approach is subject to noise levels which are unsuitable for residential development, schools, hospitals and other similar noise sensitive uses. Projected noise contours around the airport are provided in the CGmprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) for McCleilan- Palomar AiF^ertALUCP and have been included in this Element (See Map 3: Compatibilitv Policy Map: Page 2 ll Underline/strikeout Exhibit Exhibit X-3 NOISE ELEMENT Noise.Airport Noioe Contours-^we-€on4ftf0f>-s Map). In December 2005. the County of San Diego, as the owner/operator of McClellan- Paiomar Airport, prepared an update to the airport's FAR Part 150 Noise Study.-m9-#ie FAA began a detailed noise study for McClellan Palomar Airport. The purpose of the studv is to assess the noise impacts on surrounding land uses and, if necessary, recommend changes to aircraft operational procedures of flight patterns, as well as encourage changes to existing zoning ordinances and general plans. The findings of this study resulted in FAA approval of a number of recommended measures in December 2006. as foilows: • Provide the City of Carisbad with the recommended noise impact notification area (NINA) and noise exposure maps and anv future updates to these boundaries • Recommend rezoning undeveloped land within the 60 CNEL contour for industrial use * Require real estate disclosures within the airport influence area (AIA) • Erect signs on airport property along El Camino Real and Palomar Airport Road to inform drivers of the existence and location of the airport » implement the "Flv Friendly" program recently adopted bv the Palomar Airport Advisory Committee have43een-pyfefehe44{^4he-pf^^ 4-§0--Stydy #0r--4he -alFportT wh-i€h-4s- cuFf-ently- The Citv will continue to require Hew6V6f:--all new development in the vicinity of the airport sh^l4—contirHje—to be reviewed to ensure compliancefor compliance with the noise standards contained in this element, the City's Noise Guideiines Manual-and. and the approved McClellan-Paiomar Airport Com^r-ehensive-Land Use Compatibilitv "" Plan' (CLyPALUCP)--4&r jVteGleyan-PaloffiaF-Atfport.

RAIL The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe (AT&SF) Railroad runs parallel to the coastline through its 6 1/2 mile length in Carisbad. The railroad right- of-way is 100 feet wide throughout most of the area south of Tamarack Avenue and expands to 200 feet in width as it travels north of Tamarack through the downtown beach area and central business district. Currently AMTRAGK-Amtrak operates several daily passenger trains between San Diego and Los Angeles. Additionally, a number of freight trains pass through Carisbad daily, some after 5 P.M. These evening and nighttime freight trains are of particular concern because they run during the hours when people are more sensitive to noise. By the end of 1993, it is projected that a commuter rail will run at least four daily trips from Oceanside to San Diego with two stops in Carisbad. Ultimately, up to 20 commuter trains may travel through the City at high speed. There are several sources of railroad noise. The majority of the noise emanates from the locomotive (and Its component systems, such as exhaust devices and cooling fans) and from the interaction between the rail and train wheels. The rhythmic clacking noise emitted by trains result from friction of the wheel at rail joints. Roughness on either the rail or wheel can also contribute to increased noise emissions. Safety devices such as warning whistles and wig-wags with bells used at grade crossings can contribute significantly to railroad noise. The Page 3 1^ Underline/strikeout Exhibit Exhibit X-3 NOISE ELEMENT State of California Public Utilities Commission requires these warning signals as trains approach grade crossings to warn motorists and pedestrians. "A combined program of noise mitigating design and building sound insulation will help control future noise problems near the railroad." For existing residential units, noise reduction is a problem. It is often difficult and expensive to install sound insulation materials on existing structures. Also, the State Uniform Building Code standards for sound insulation apply only to new structures. Construction of noise barriers along the railroad right-of-way could attenuate noise levels significantly. However, the railroad right-of-way is owned by the AT&SF Railroad, whose consent would be necessary before any barrier could be constructed. Also cost and aesthetic impact may be prohibitive factors in the construction of noise barriers. The Land Use Element of the General Plan designates a substantial amount of land bordering along the railroad right-of-way for residential use. New residential development and nonresidential development will occur adjacent to the railroad. The City does have the ability to regulate site design and requires sound insulation for new development in the vicinity of the railroad. A combined program of noise mitigating design and building sound insulation will help control future noise problems near the railroad. New projects should maximize the physical separation of structures from the railroad tracks. Additionally, project design should stress the orientation of units away from the railroad, limiting or acoustically designing window openings onto the right-of-way, and construction of noise barriers such as solid walls, earthen berms, or berm/wall combinations. B. LAND USE To a great extent, the future ambient noise levels of the City will be determined by the type, intensity and location of future land uses. Future noise levels will also be affected by the construction of new roadways to serve new development and by land uses that generate noise. Noise levels may affect the desirability or livability of a community. Noise may also negatively impact the economic viability of a community by reducing the desirability of an area as a place to live, work, play, or shop. For these reasons, noise continues to be an important consideration of the City in future land use planning. 'To a great extent, the future ambient noise levels of the City will be determined by the type, intensity and location of future land uses." Some land uses are more compatible with higher noise levels than are others. For example, schools, hospitals, churches and residences are generally considered more sensitive to noise intrusion than are commercial or industrial activities. To respond to the sensitivity of certain land uses to higher noise levels, this element includes policies to reduce noise impacts on noise-sensitive uses such as residences. It may be appropriate to develop noise-sensitive uses such as residences, hospitals, or churches in noisy areas. In these instances, it is important that the proper measures are used to reduce noise impacts. In all cases sensitive site plan design is to be used as the first method to reduce noise impacts on a project. Sensitive site plan design measures will include, for example, increasing the distance between the noise source and the receiver; placing non-noise sensitive uses such as parking areas, maintenance facilities, and utility areas between the source and the receiver; using non-noise sensitive structures, such as a garage, to shield noise sensitive areas; and, orienting buildings to shield outdoor spaces from a noise source. These and other noise mitigation techniques are discussed in more detail in the City's Noise Guidelines Manual available in the Planning Department. C. OTHER MOBILE SOURCES 1. OFF ROAD MOTORCYCLE NOISE Page 4 IS Underline/strikeout Exhibit Exhibit X-3 NOISE ELEMENT Motorcycle noise has been a problem in Carisbad. In particular, complaints have been registered against recreational use of dirt bikes or two-cycle engine motorcycles. The Police Department continues to enforce the prohibition of motorized off-road vehicles within the City, except as permitted at the Carisbad Raceway. Local jurisdictions have the authority to control loud or faulty mufflers, horn blowing, off-road vehicles and vehicle speed. Although noise limits may be set for off-road vehicles, they are rarely necessary since statutes against trespassing nearly always apply. Most trail bikes are not outfitted with the necessary lights, fenders, mufflers, spari< arresters or baffles required by law. Consequently they are not licensed and cannot be legally operated on public streets. Continued police enforcement against these unlicensed vehicles would likely reduce motorcycle noise on public streets. 2. MOTORBOAT This noise problem does not affect very many of Carisbad's residents. However, in response to noise complaints, the City has adopted a maximum speed limit for boats on the Agua Hedionda Lagoon and has purchased a boat for enforcement. The reduction in speed does reduce noise somewhat. If further control appears warranted, the City should consider setting curfews on the use of the lagoon or limit the types of boats which could use the lagoon. 3. MODIFIED VEHICLE EXHAUST SYSTEM Vehicles operating on city streets which have faulty or modified exhaust systems can cause significant local noise impacts, especially when operated in a "hot rod" manner: Continued enforcement of the vehicle code is encouraged in order to control this contributor to noise pollution. IIL NOISE CONTOUR MAPS The noise contour maps contained herein, show 1990 and 2010 noise contours for the following transportation systems (See Maps 1: Existing Noise Exposure Contour Map (1990) and Map 2: Future Noise Exposure Map (2010): (1) Interstate 5 (2) State Highway 78 (3) Circulation Element Roadways of the Carisbad General Plan (4) Rail (5) McClellan-Palomar Airport Substantial changes in traffic patterns or the availability of new noise contour data may indicate the need for revisions of this element. Consequently, the noise contours contained in this element should be reviewed and revised periodically. Noise levels for McClellan-Palomar Airport are expressed in terms of Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL), measured at 5 dB increments and are mapped for the range of §# 60 to 75+ dBA CNEL. Noise levels for freeways, prime arterials and the railroad are expressed as CNEL down to the 60 dBA. All other transportation modes shown on the contour map are expressed as CNEL down to the 55 dBA. Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) is based upon A-weighted noise level, number or duration of noise events, and time of occurrence throughout the 24 hour day. The CNEL measurement weights noise occurrences in the evening and nighttime greater than those in the daytime. Please refer to the Carisbad "Noise Guidelines Manual" for more information regarding CNEL and general noise science. The airport's projected noise contours identified in the adopted Gompfehemlve—McClellan- Palomar Airport Land Use Compatibilitv Plan for McGlellan^^-alomaf Aifport-are included in this element (See Map 3: Compatibilitv Policy Map: NojseAirport Noise Contours Future Conditions Map).

C.8 Periodically review the noise contours contained in this element. Substantial changes in traffic patterns or the availability of new noise contour data may indicate the need for revisions. C.9 Participate in noise control and hearing conservation programs in all appropriate work environments owned, operated, or otherwise under the control of the City. LAND USE A. GOALS A.l A.2 A.3 A City where land uses are significantly impacted by noise. not A City with industrial and commercial land uses which do not produce significantly adverse noise impacts. A City which controls mobile sources of noise to help assure that mobile noise sources do not substantially contribute to the noise environment. B. OBJECTIVES B.1 To achieve noise compatibility between industrial/commercial and surrounding land uses and achieve an acceptable noise environment in industrial/commercial areas. B.2 To achieve noise impact compatibility between land uses through the land use planning/development review process. B. 3 To actively control mobile noise violations. C. IMPLEMENTING POLICIES AND ACTION PROGRAMS Page 6 Zl Underline/Strikeout Exhibit Exhibit X-3 NOISE ELEMENT C.1 Encourage the development of compatible land uses in areas which are subject to excessive noise levels. C.2 Develop specific noise standards for use in reviewing noise sensitive development. C.3 Require the use of project design techniques, such as, increasing the distance between the noise source and the receiver; placing non-noise sensitive uses such as parking areas, maintenance facilities, and utility areas between the source and the receiver; using non- sensitive structures, such as a garage, to shield noise sensitive areas; and, orienting buildings to shield outdoor spaces from a noise source to minimize noise impacts during any discretionary review of a residential or other noise sensitive project. C.4 Continue to enforce the State Motor Vehicle Code as it applies to excessive noise. The Carisbad Police Department should continue to reduce the number of excessively noisy vehicles on city streets. The Department should also continue to deter persons from operating their motor vehicles in a noisy manner. C.5 Enforce the policy of the City that sixty (60) dBA CNEL is the exterior noise level to which all residential units should be mitigated. 65 dBA CNEL is the maximum noise level to which residential units subject to noise from McClellan-Palomar Airport should be permitted. Additional disclosure actions for new deveiopment in the Airport influence Area as depicted in the McClellan-Palomar Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP). such as Navigation easements, deed restrictions, recorded notice, etc.J may be required of developers/sellers of noise impacted residential units. For residential properties identified as requiring a noise study, a study shall be prepared by an acoustical professional. This study shall document the projected maximum exterior noise level and mitigate the projected exterior noise level to a maximum allowable noise level as identified in this policy. Interior noise levels should be mitigated to 45 dBA CNEL when openings to the exterior of the residence are open or closed. If openings are required to be closed to meet the interior noise standard, then mechanical ventilation shall be provided. If the acoustical study shows that exterior noise levels cannot be mitigated to the level allowable as identified in this policy or less, the development should not be approved without one or more of the following findings: (1) Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the pi-oject which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect (noise). (2) Changes or alterations to avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect (noise) are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency and not the City of Carisbad. Such changes have been adopted by such other agency or can and should be adopted by such other agency. (3) Specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives to avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect (noise). If a project is approved with exterior noise levels exceeding the level allowable pursuant to this policy, all purchasers of the impacted property shall be notified in writing prior to purchase, and by deed disclosure in writing, that the property they are purchasing is, or will be, noise impacted and does not meet Carisbad noise standards for residential property. Notwithstanding project approval, no residential interior CNEL should exceed 45 dBA. C.6 Require that a "Noise" Study be submitted with all discretionary applications for Page 7 Underline/Strikeout Exhibit Exhibit X-3 NOISE ELEMENT residential projects of five or more single family dwelling units or any multiple family dwelling units located within or 500-feet beyond the 60 dBA CNEL noise contour lines as shown on Map 2: Future Noise Exposure Contour Map. C.7 Enforce the policy of the City that site design techniques such as increasing the distance between the noise source and the receiver; placing non-noise sensitive uses such as parking areas, maintenance facilities and utility areas between the source and the receiver; using non-noise sensitive structures, such as a garage, to shield noise-sensitive areas; and orienting buildings to shield outdoor spaces from a noise source, be the first tool used to mitigate noise impacts on noise sensitive land uses rather than the construction of walls or berms. C.8 Recognize that mitigation of existing or future noise impacts from Circulation Element roadways, AT&SF railroad or McClellan-Palomar Airport for existing or future development within the City, shall not be funded by the City. However, the City shall assist applicants with the processing of necessary permits for mitigating noise on private property, which permits may include right-of-way permits, encroachment permits, retaining wall permits and zoning variances. The City shall also assist property owners in the establishment of assessment districts, to fund noise mitigation improvements, in accordance with established City policies and procedures. C.9 Discourage the exclusive use of noise walls in excess of 6 feet in height as mitigation for noise along Circulation Element roadways. CIO Utilize natural barriers such as site topography or constructed earthen berms to mitigate noise on a project. When noise walls are determined to be the only feasible solution to noise mitigation, then the walls shall be designed to limit aesthetic impacts. When over-height walls are necessary to mitigate noise, a berm/wall combination with heavy landscaping, a terraced wall heavily landscaped, or other similar innovative wall design technique shall be used to minimize visual impacts. A. GOAL CIRCULATION ROADS To provide a roadway system that does not subject surrounding land uses to significantly adverse noise levels. B. OBJECTIVE To design and manage all roadways to maintain acceptable noise levels. C. IMPLEMENTING POLICIES AND ACTION PROGRAMS C.1 Take measures to reduce traffic noise on streets throughout Carisbad. This will include continued enforcement of applicable sections of the California Vehicle Code regarding equipment and/or operation of motor vehicles. C.2 Consider noise impacts in the design of road systems and give special consideration to those road corridors in scenic or noise sensitive areas. C.3 Review traffic flow systems and synchronize signalization, wherever possible to avoid traffic stops and starts, which produce excessive noise, and to adjust traffic flow to achieve noise levels acceptable to surrounding areas. C.4 Apply the residential noise policies of this element in the review of proposals for the construction or improvement of any roadway, railroad, transit system or other noise producing facility. AIRPORT A. GOAL A City that achieves long-term compatibility between the airport and surrounding land use. Pages 23 Underline/Strikeout Exhibit Exhibit X-3 NOISE ELEMENT B. OBJECTIVES B.1 To minimize noise impacts on City residents, the City has planned for non- residential land uses within the 65 dBA CNEL Noise Contour of McClellan- Palomar Airport, as shown on Map 3: Airport Noise Contour Map. B.2 To develop and enforce programs dealing with airport noise disclosure, avigation easements and noise control that provide for noise compatibility with surrounding land uses. C. IMPLEMENTING POLICIES ACTION PROGRAMS AND C.1 Encourage the development of compatible land uses and restrict incompatible land uses surrounding airport facilities.

GLOSSARY AMBIENT NOISE AVIGATION EASEMENT COMMUNITY NOISE EQUIVALENT LEVEL DECIBEL (dB) A-WEIGHTED DECIBEL (dBA) The composite of all sounds near and far for any environment. Ambient noise levels are generally averaged for given periods of time. An air rights easement which protects air lanes around the airport. CNEL See Community Noise Equivalent Level. A technique used in the State of California for quantifying aircraft and community noise levels. CNEL is based on A-weighted noise measurements, in which both the magnitude of noise and frequency of occurrence are measured. It incorporates factors of amplitude and the pitch of noise, hearing sensitivity of the human ear, duration of noise, and time of day penalty factors. The CNEL measure weights nighttime and evening noise occurrences greater than daytime ones. A unit for measuring the relative loudness of sounds equal approximately to the smallest degree of difference of loudness ordinarily detectable by the human ear. An A-weighted decibel compensates for the hearing sensitivity of humans by discriminating against the lower frequencies according to an approximate relationship to the sensitivity of the human ear. EASEMENT A grant of one or more of the property rights by the property owner to and/or for the use by the public, corporation, city, county or another person or entity. FREQUENCY NOISE NOISE SENSITIVE LAND USES The number of sound waves occurring within a given length of time. Frequency is expressed in Hertz. The human ear perceives differences in frequency as changes in pitch; the higher the frequency, the higher the pitch. A loud, discordant or disagreeable sound. Those land uses which are particulariy affected by excessive noise, including residences, motels, hotels, public meeting rooms, schools, churches, libraries, hospital, parks, recreation areas, etc. Page 11 2(9 I 0 I I tiENERAL PLAN Tl nA i'ir~Timii J TMl aalM w^MMT* nap mw for Hw vM^m^Son ti HM** ElwawtU GMwnl Pi«i.

A tieiiport/helipad located south of the approach end of Runway 24 was recently reactivated, providing service to Medevac and transient helicopters. As of 2006, "there were 314 aircraft based at McCieilan-Paiomar Airport, approximately two-thirds of which were sinoie- and twin-piston' engine aircraft". The airport's fleet also consisted of twin-turboprops (23)" business iets "(44). and helicopters (11). The airport served some 201.100 operations in 2006. approximatelv ten percent of which were commuter and air taxi operations.

The AIA also identifies areas where new development may adversely affect airport operations. These impacted areas are shown on Maps 4a-4f Development proposais within the AiA (Map 4a) must be reviewed for consistency with "the compatibility policies and restrictions contained in the ALUCP. The AIA is divided into two review areas. Review Area 1 encompasses locations exposed to noise levels above 60dB CNEL or greater, as weii as locations covered bv" the six safety zones shown on Map 4c. Review Area 2 consists of locations bevond Review Area 1 but within the airspace protection, avigation easement, and/or overflight notification areas depicted on Maps 4d and 4e.

Generallv .gMaking, allowable uses and development intensities range from most restrictive in Safety Zone 1 to least restrictive in Safety Zone 6. For example, all residential and virtually all nonresidential uses are considered incompatible land uses in Zone 1, while all land uses in Zone 6 are considered to be either compatible or conditionally-compatibie with the airport.Gleaf FUfway-oveF^fi4^Gl^a4fGFa#-usin§^4^ P»&&- -for- eaGh--GpeFat4on-5 eltheF—amva}-~©f- departure.—These areas are owned by tho types- ©f-la«d-uses.• -l•imited--^e—open- .Ilie.

Airspace protection zones are defined in Part 77 of the Code of Federal Mation Regulations; ihe protected airspace around McClelian-Palomar Airport is depicted in Map 4d, The ALUCP also requires that certain development projects record overfiiaht notification documents in order to provide constructive notice to current and prospective property owners of aircraft activity within the vicinity of the airport. Under certain circumstances, developers of specific properties may be required to grant avigation easements to the airport owner (County of San Dieoo). Among other things, an avigation easement grants the right of flight in the airspace ofabove the propertv. allows the generation of noise and other impacts associated with overflight, restricts the height of structures, trees and other objects on the propertv. prohibits potential on ground flight hazards (sources of light/glare, etc.). and permits access to the property to remove or mM..,obi.ects_. exceeding the established height limit.

SECTION 1207 [HCD 1& HCD 2] SOUND TRANSMISSION 1207.1 Purpose and scope. The purpose of this seclion is lo establish uniform minimum noise insulation performance standards to protect persons within hotels, motels, dormitories, apartment houses and dwellings other than detached sin- gle-family dwellingsfrom the effects of excessive noise, includ- ing, but not limited to, hearing loss or impairment and interference with speech arui sleep. This section shall apply to all buildings for which applications for building permits were made subsequent to August 22,1974. 1207.2 Definitions. The following special definitions shall apply to this section: SOUND TRANSMISSION CLASS (STC) is a single-number rating used to compare walls, floor-ceiling assemblies and doors for their sound-insulating properties with respect to speech and small household appliance noise. The STC is derived from laboratory measurements ofsound transmission loss across a series of 16 test bands. Laboratory STC ratings should be used to the greatest extent possible in determining that the design complies with this sec- tion. FIELD SOUND TRANSMSSION CLASS (FSTC) is a sin- gle-number rating similar to STC, except that the transmission loss values used to derive the FSTC are measured in the field. All sound transmitted from the source room lo the receiving room is assumed to be through the separating wall or floor-ceiling assembly. This section does not require determination ofthe FSTC, and field-measured values of noise reduction should not be reported as transmission loss. IMPACT INSULATION CLASS (IIC) is a single-number rat- ing used to compare the effectiveness of floor-ceiling assem- blies in providing reduction of impact-generated sounds such as footsteps. The IIC is derived from laboratory measurements of impact sound pressure level across a series of 16 test bands using a standardized tapping machine. Laboratory IIC ratings should be used to the greatest extent possible in determining that the design complies with this sectioru FIELD IMPACT INSULATION CLASS (FUC) is a sin- gle-number rating similar to the IIC. except that the impact sound pressure levels are measured in the field NOISE ISOLATION CLASS (NIC) is a single-number rating derived from measured values of noise reduction between two enclosed spaces that are connected by one or more paths. The NIC is not adjusted or normalized to a standard reveiheration time. NORMAUZED NOISE ISOLATION CLASS (NNIC) is a single-number rating similar to the NIC, except that the mea- sured noise reduction values are normalized to a reverberation time of one-half second. NORMAUZED A-WEIGHTED SOUND LEVELDIFFER. ENCE (Dn) means for a specified source room sound spec- trum, Dn is the difference, in decibels, between the average sound levels produced in two rooms after adjustment to the expected acoustical conditions when the receiving room under test is ru>rmally fiimished. DAY-NIGHT AVERAGE SOUND LEVEL (Un) is the A-weighted equivalent continuous sound e}q>osure level for a 24-hour period with a 10 db adjustment added to sound levels occurring during nighttime hours (10 p.m. to 7 a.m.). COMMUNITY NOISE EQUIVALENT LEVEL (CNEL) is a metric similar to the Ldn, except that a 5 db adjustment is added to the equivalent continuous sound exposure level for evening hours (7p.m. to 10p.m) in addition to the 10 db night- time adjustment used in the Ldn. 1207.2,1 Masonry, The sound transmission class of con- crete masonry and clay masonry assemblies shall be calcu- lated in accordance with TMS 0302 or detennined through testing in accordance with ASTM E 90. 1207.3 Relevant standards. The current edition ofthe follow- ing standards is generally applicable for determining compli- ance with this section.

Where a complaint as to noncompliance with this chapter requires a field test, the complainant shall post a bond or adequate funds in escrow for the cost of said testing. Such costs shall be chargeable to the complainant ifthe field tests show compliance with this chapter. Ifthe tests show noncompliance, testing costs shall be bome to the owner or builder. 1207.5 Local modification. The goveming body of any city or county or city and county may, by ordinance, adopt changes or modifications to the requirements of this section as set forth in Section 17922.7 ofthe Health and Safety Code. 1207.6 Interdwelling sound transmission control. 1207.6.1 Wall and floor-ceiling assemblies. Wall and floor-ceiling assemblies separating dwelling units or guest rooms from each other and from public or service areas such as interior corridors, garages and mechanical spaces shall provide airbome sound insulation for walls, arid both air- bome and impact sound insulation for floor-ceiling assem- blies. Exception; Impact sound insulation is not required for floor-ceiling assembUes over nonhabitable rooms or spaces not designed to be occupied, such as garages, mechanical rooms or storage areas. 1207.7Airbome sound insulation. All such acoustically rated separating wall andfloor-ceiling assemblies shall provide air- bome sound insulation equal to that required to meet a sound transmission class (STC) rating of 50 based on laboratory tests as defined in ASTM E 90 and E 413. Field-tested assemblies shall meet a noise isolation class (NIC) rating of 45 for occu- pied units and a normalized noise isolation class (NINIC) rat- ing of 45 for unoccupied units as defined in ASTM E 336 and E 413. ASTM E 597 may be used as simplified procedure for field tests ofthe airbome sound isolation between rooms in unoccu- pied buildings. In such tests, the minimum value ofDn is 45 db for compliance. Entrance doors from interior corridors together with their perimeter seals shall have STC ratings not less than 26. Such tested doors shall operate normally with commercially avail- able seals. Solid-core wood-slab doors /% inches (35 mm) thick mini- mum or 18 gauge insulated steel-slab doors with compression seals all around, including the threshold, may be considered adequate without other substantiating informatiorL Field tests of corridor walls should not include segments with doors. If such tests are impractical, however, the NIC or NNIC rating for the composite wall-door assembly shall notbe less than 30. Penetrations or openings in constniction assemblies for pip- ing, electrical devices, recessed cabinets, bathtubs, soffits or heating, ventilating or exhaust ducts shall be sealed, lined, insulated or otherwise treated to maintain the required ratings. 1207.8 Impact sound insulation. All acoustically rated sepa- rating floor-ceiling assemblies shall provide impact sound insulation equal to that required to meet a IIC rating qf 50 based on laboratory tests as defined in ASTM E 492 and E989. Field-tested assemblies shall meet a field impact insulation class (FIIC) rating of 45 for both occupied and unoccupied units as defined in ASTM E1007 and E 989, with the exception that the measured impact sound pressure levels shall not be normalized to a standard amount of absorption in the receiving room. Floor coverings may be included in the assembly to obtain the required ratings. Tiiese coverings must be retained as a per- manent part ofthe assembly and may be replaced only by other floor coverings that provide the required impact sound insula- tion. 1207.9 Tested assemblies. Laboratory-tested wall or floor-ceiling designs having STC or IIC ratings of 50 or more may be used by the building official to determine compliance with this section during plan review phase. Field tests shall be required by the building official when evidence ofsound leaks or flanking paths is noted, or when the separating assembly is not built according to the approved design. Generic sound transmission control systems as listed in the Catalog of STC and IIC Ratings for Wall and Floor-Ceiling Assemblies, as published by the Office of Noise Control, Cali- fomia Department of Health Services, or the Fire Resistance Design Manual, as published by the Gypsum Association, may be used to evaluate construction assemblies for their sound transmission properties. Other tests from recognized laborato- ries may also be used. When ratings for essentially similar assemblies differ, and when ratings are below STC or IIC 50, | j field testing may be used to demonstrate that the building com- plies with this section. For field testing, rooms should ideally be large and reverber- ant for reliable measurements to be made in all test bands. This is often not possible for bathrooms, kitchens, hallways or rooms with large amounts of sound-absorptive materials. Field test results should, however, report the measured values in all bands, noting those which do not meet relevant ASTM criteria for diffusion. It should be rwted that STC ratings do not adequately char- acterize the sound insulation of construction assemblies when the intruding noise is predominantly low-pitched, as is often produced by amplified music or by large pieces qf mechanical equipment. It should also be noted that the transmission of impact sound from a standardized tapping machine may vary considerably for a given design due to d^erences in specimen size, flanking transmission through associated structure and the acoustical response qf the room below. Laboratory IIC values should therefore be used with caution when estimating the peifor- mance of hard-surfaced floors in the field Additionally, IIC ratings may not always be adequate to characterize the subjec- tively armoying creak or boom generated by footfalls on a lum- ber floor. 1207.10 Certifkation. Field testing, when required, shall be done imder the supervision ofa person experienced in the field of acoustical testing and engineering, who shall forward test results to the building official showing that the sound isolation requirements stated above have been met. Documentation qf 2010 CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODE 597 Strikeout/Underline Exhibit Noise Guidelines Manual, September 1995 Exhibit X-6 INTERIOR ENVIRONMENT field test results should generally follow the requirements out- lined in relevant A^TM starulards. 1207.11 Exterior sound transmission control, 1207.11.1 AppUcation. Consistentwith local land-use stan- dards, residential structures located in noise critical areas, such as proximity to highways, county roads, city streets, railroads, rapid transit lines, airports or industrial areas, shall be designed to prevent the intrusion qf exterior noises beyond prescribed levels. Proper design shall include, but shall not be limited to, orientation ofthe residential struc- ture, setbacks, shielding and sound insulation ofthe build- ing itself. 1207.11.2 Allowable interior noise levels. Interior noise levels attributable to exterior sources shall not exceed 45 db in any habitable room. The noise metric shall be either the day-night average sound level (Ldn) or the community noise equivalent level (CNEL), consistent with the noise element of the local general plan. Note: Ldn is the preferred metric for implementing these standards. Worst-case noise levels, either existing or future, shall be used as the basis for determining compli- ance with this section. Future noise levels shall be pre- dicted for a period of at least 10 years from the time of building permit application. 1207.113 Airport noise sources. Residential structures to be located where the annual Ldn or CNEL (as defined in Title 21, Division 2.5, Chapter 6, Article 1, Section 5001, CalKomia Code ofRegulations) exceeds 60 db shall require an acoustical analysis showing that the proposed design will achieve prescribed allowable interior level For pub- lic-use airports or heliports, the Ldn or CNEL shall be determined from the airport land-use plan prepared by the county wherein the airport is located. For military bases, the Ldn shall be determined from the facility Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ) plan. For all other airports or heliports, or public-use airports or heliports for which a land-use plan has not been developed, tfie Ldn or CNEL shall be determined from the noise element ofthe general plan ofthe local jurisdiction. When aircraft noise is not the only significant source, noise levelsfrom all sources shall be added to determine the composite site noise level 1207.11.4 Other noise sources. Residential structures to be located where the Ldn or CNEL exceeds 60 db shall require an acoustical analysis showing that the proposed design will limit exterior noise to the prescribed allowable interior level The noise element ofthe local general plan shall be used to the greatest extent possible to identify sites with noise levels potentially greater than 60 db. 1207.12 Conpliance. Evidence qf compliance shall consist qf submittal of an acoustical analysis report, prepared under the supervision ofa person experienced in the fleld qf acoustical engineering, with the application for a bmlding permit The report shall show topographical relationships qf noise sources and dwelling sites, identification of noise sources and their characteristics, predicted rwise spectra and levels at the exte- rior of the proposed dwelling structure considering present ( ard future land usage, basis for the prediction (measured or f obtained from published data), noise attenuation measures to ^ be applied, and an analysis ofthe noise insulation effectiveness ofthe proposed construction showing that the prescribed inte- rior noise level requirements are met. If interior allowable noise levels are met by requiring that windows be unopenable or closed, the design for the structure / must also specify a ventilation or air-conditioning system to \ provide a habitable interior environment. The ventilation sys- tem must not compromise the dwelling unit or guest room noise reduction. 1207.13 Field testing. When inspection indicates that the con- struction is rwt in accordance with the approved design, or that / the noise reduction is compromised due to sound leaks or flank- V ing paths, field testing may be required. A test report showing compliance or noncompliance with prescribed interior allow- able levels shall be submitted to the building official Measurements of outdoor sound levels shall generally fol- low the guidelines in ASTM E1014. Field measurements ofthe A-weighted airbome sound insu- lation of buildings from exterior sources shall generally follow the guidelines in ASTM E 966. For the purpose of this standard, sound level differences measured in unoccupied units shall be normalized to a receiv- ing room reverberation time of one-half second. Sound level differences measured in occupied units shall not be normalized to a standard reverberation time. SECTION 1208 INTERIOR SPACE DIMENSIONS 1208.1 Minimam room widths. Habitable spaces, other than a kitchen, shall not be less than 7 feet (2134 mm) in any plan dimension. Kitchens shall bave a clear passageway of not less than 3 feet (914 nun) between counter fronts and appliances or counter fironts and walls. [HCD 1J For limited-density owner-built rural dwellings, there shall be no requirements for room dimensions, provided there is adequate light and ventilation and adequate means qf egress. 1208.2 Minimum celling heights. Occupiable spaces, habit- able spaces and corridors shall have a ceiling height of not less than 7 feet 6 inches (2286 ram). Bathrooms, toiletrooms, kitch- ens, storage rooms and laundiy rooms shall be permitted to have a ceiUng height of not less than 7 feet (2134 mm). Exceptions: 1. In one- and two-family dwellings, beams or girders spaced not less than 4 feet (1219 nun) on center and projecting not more than 6 inches (152 mm) below the required ceiling heigbt 2. If any room in a building has a sloped ceiling, the pre- scribed ceiling height for the room is required in one-half tbe area thmof. Any porti<»i of ihe room measuring less than 5 feet (1524 mm) from the fin- ished floor to the ceiling shall not be included in any computation of the minimimi area thereof. c. 598 2010 CAUFORNIA BUILDING CODE Strikeout/Underline Exhibit Noise Guidelines Manual, September 1995 Exhibit X-6 Appendix E, McClellan-Palomar Airport, p.

The purpose ofthe proposed amendments is to incorporate by reference the McClellan-Palomar Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (Compatibility Plan) adopted by the San Diego County Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) into Carlsbad's General Plan and make other minor modifications to ensure that the General Plan and Noise Guidelines Manual are consistent with the Compatibility Plan. in. PROJECT DESCRIFTION AND BACKGROUND Background State legislation (Public Utilities Code Sections 21670 - 21679.5) provides for the creation of an ALUC, requires the preparation and adoption of compatibility plans for each public-use and military airport (with certain exceptions), and requires each local jurisdiction to modify their general plan to be consistent with the proposed compatibility plan or to take the steps necessary to overrule it. The San Diego County Regional Airport Authority, acting in its capacity as the ALUC for the County of San Diego, adopted the Compatibility Plan for McClellan-Palomar Airport on January 25, 2010 (it was subsequently amended on March 4, 2010). This updated Compatibility Plan supersedes the one in place since 1994 (amended 2004). The basic function of the Compatibility Plan is to promote compatibility between McClellan- Palomar Airport ("Airport") and the land uses that surround the Airport and, as such, the Compatibility Plan includes specified limitations and conditions on the future development of new residential, commercial and other sensitive uses surrounding the Airport. The Compatibility 73 GPA 10-02 - AIRPORT LAND USE COMPATIBILITY January 4, 2012 Page 2 Plan consists of several components, including the provision of airport information, compatibility policies and criteria, compatibility zone maps, procedural polices, and land use information. The compatibility policies primarily address issues of noise, safety, airspace protection and overflight notification that affect properties in the vicinity ofthe airport. Project Description In order to ensure that new development within the airport's vicinity occurs consistent with the Compatibility Plan, GPA 10-02 proposes to (1) incorporate the Compatibility Plan by reference into the General Plan, and (2) make other amendments to the General Plan and Noise Guidelines Manual to implement the policies of the 2010 Compatibility Plan. This approach is similar to Carlsbad's implementation method for the compatibility plan in place since 1994 (amended 2004). The project does not change the land use or zoning designation for any property in Carlsbad, nor does it propose the physical development of any site. Under the Califomia State Aeronautics Act, the ALUC has the sole authority to adopt the Compatibility Plan and conduct compatibility reviews, but it is the responsibility of local agencies to implement the compatibility policies through their land use authority. Land use actions within an airport influence area are subject to compatibility review by the ALUC until the local agency has revised its general plan to be consistent with the airport's compatibility plan. However, after a local agency's general plan is found by ALUC to be consistent with the Compatibility Plan, the ALUC will no longer have authority to review land use actions (except for legislative actions such as the adoption, approval or amendment of the general plan). Therefore, with adoption of GPA 10-02, and subsequent ALUC consistency finding, the authority to review development projects for consistency with the Compatibility Plan, as well as the enforcement of the document's compatibility policies, is transferred to the city (except for legislative actions as noted above). For both the 1994 (amended 2004) and 2010 compatibility plans, the primary compatibility planning principles are the same; however, the specific policies of each document differ somewhat (see below for a summary comparison). • Noise - To address exposure to aircraft noise, both plans described airport noise exposure ranges ("noise contours") and contain policies that limit the establishment of new sensitive land uses (ie. residential, schools, etc.) within the noise contours. The 2010 plan updates the boundaries of these noise contours as well as the list of allowed uses within the noise contours. • Safety - To address safety for both people on the ground and in aircraft, both plans described crash hazard zones near the airport and contain policies that limit the establishment of new land uses that could substantially increase the number of people within the hazard zones. The 1994 (amended 2004) compatibility plan utilized a "Runway Protection Zone" and "Flight Activity Zone", and generally limited the types of land uses within the zones, such as a prohibition of uses that involve the assembly of large groups of people. The 2010 Compatibility Plan utilizes "Safety Zones," which are numbered 1 - 6, and includes a table with an expanded list of uses for each safety zone and criteria for their establishment. 7i/ GPA 10-02 - AIRPORT LAND USE COMPATIBILITY January 4, 2012 Page 3 • Airspace Protection - To ensure that structures and other uses do not cause hazards to aircraft within the airport vicinity through the physical obstruction of navigable airspace, both plans require referral of applicable development projects to the Federal Aviation Administration for Part 77 review. • Overflight - To address aircraft overflight annoyance, both plans require notification for all property within the Airport Influence Area. The 2010 Compatibility Plan updates the boundaries of the Overflight Notification Area. Overrule of the ALUC Various sections of the airport land use commission statutes provide for local agencies to overrule ALUC decisions on land use matters. The overruling process involves four mandatory steps: • At least 45 days prior to any decision to overrule the commission, the local agency must provide the local ALUC and the Division of Aeronautics a copy of the proposed decision and findings; • The holding of a public hearing; • The making of specific findings that the action proposed is consistent with the State Aeronautics Act; • Approval of the proposed action by a 4/5ths majority of the City Council. The city may overrule (1) whole section(s) of the ALUCP or the ALUCP itself, or (2) overrule ALUCP policies on a project by project basis. On several occasions the City Council has voted to overrule the ALUCP noise compatibility policies as they apply to a particular development project, but it has not been the practice of the city to overrule an ALUCP safety compatibility policy. It is important to note that according to state law, if a local agency overrules an ALUC, the agency operating the airport "shall be immune from liability for damages to property or personal injury caused by or resulting directly or indirectly from the public agency's decision to override the commission's action or recommendation" (Sections 21678 and, with slightly different wording, 21675.1(f)). The law does not indicate who will become liable under these circumstances. Other notable policies of the 2010 ALUCP • Policy 2.3.2(d) Subsequent review of projects found consistent: A project found consistent with the ALUCP in effect at the time the project was originally approved shall not be subject to further review under the 2010 ALUCP unless the project changes in a substantive manner. • Policy 2.3.2(f) Long-Term Project: Outside of certain exceptions, a long-term project, such as a master plan or large subdivision which consists of several phases, and any subsequent discretionary or ministerial implementing permit or action for that original long-term project, shall be govemed by the compatibility plan in effect at the time the first such permit or action for the original long-term project was issued by the local agency. 13 GPA 10-02 - AIRPORT LAND USE COMPATIBILITY January 4, 2012 Page 4 Carlsbad has two areas that qualify as a long term project: The Bressi Ranch Master Plan and the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan. This policy allows the option for these areas to build out under the policies of the 1994 (amended 2004) ALUCP. • Policy 2.ILl Infill: Where land uses not in conformance with the criteria set forth in 2010 ALUCP exist in one area at the time of 2010 ALUCP adoption, infill development of a similar land use may be allowed in that area even if the proposed new land use is otherwise incompatible with the 2010 ALUCP. • Policy 2.11.2 Nonconforming and Policy 2.11.3 Reconstruction: Except for certain limitations, a nonconforming use may be reconstructed or expanded as long as the use is not intensified. This policy applies to existing uses that are compatible with the 1994 (amended 2004) ALUCP but not with the 2010 ALUCP. IV. ANALYSIS For a specific description of each proposed amendment and its associated analysis, please see the strike-out and underline version of the amendments (Attachment 1, Exhibits "X-l" through "X- 6") and the amendment summary table (Attachment 2). A. General Plan The proposed amendments are consistent with the general plan in that they implement existing general plan policy and do not conflict with any other portion of the general plan. Furthermore, a general plan must be consistent with state law, and the proposed amendments accomplish this for Carlsbad's General Plan. The amendments are consistent with the following Land Use Element goals and policies: TABLE A - GENERAL PLAN COMPLIANCE ELEMENT USE, CLASSIFICATION, GOAL, OBJECTIVE OR PROGRAM COMPLY Land Use Special Planning Considerations - Airport, Goal: A city which maintains land use compatibility between the McClellan-Palomar Airport and surrounding land uses. Yes Land Use Special Planning Considerations - Airport, Policy C.2: Coordinate with the San Diego Association of Govemments* and the Federal Aviation Administration to protect the public health, safety and welfare by ensuring the orderly operation of the Airport and the adoption of land use measures that minimize the public's exposure to excessive noise and safety hazards within the areas around the airport Yes Noise Airport, Goal: A city that achieves long-term compatibility between the airport and surrounding land use. Yes Now the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority, acting as the ALUC. GPA 10-02 - AIRPORT LAND USE COMPATIBILITY January 4, 2012 Page 5 TABLE A - GENERAL PLAN COMPLIANCE CONTINUEI ELEMENT USE, CLASSIFICATION, GOAL, OBJECTIVE OR PROGRAM COMPLY Noise Airport, Policy C.1: Encourage the development of compatible land uses and restrict incompatible land uses surrounding airport facilities. Yes Public Safety Airport Hazards, Goal: A city which minimizes noise and safety hazards within areas around the airport. Yes Public Safety Airport Hazards, Objective: To ensure that development in the Airport Influence Area occurs in compliance with relevant adopted policies. Yes Public Safety Airport Hazards, Policy C.2: Comply, to the extent possible and consistent with City noise and land use policies, with the requirements and recommendations of the Regional Airport Land Use Commission and the Federal Aviation Administration regarding development proposals within the Airport Influence Area. Yes B. Zoning Ordinance and Local Coastal Program Consistency The proposed amendments incorporate by reference the Compatibility Plan into various elements ofthe General Plan and Noise Guidelines. Land Use Element Policy C.1 (Special Planning Considerations - Airport), as amended, would require that new development within the Airport Influence Area (AIA) be consistent with applicable land use-related policies of the Compatibility Plan. By law, these policies cannot authorize a use not otherwise allowed in the Zoning Ordinance or General Plan, nor can they permit land use densities or intensities that exceed the city's regulations. They may, however, limit certain uses, reduce the size and scale of a project, or impose other project-specific conditions. New development projects within the AIA must also conform to the Zoning Ordinance. Conflicts that may arise between Compatibility Plan policies and Zoning Ordinance standards are resolved by applying the more restricfive provisions. In this manner, consistency among the Zoning Ordinance, Compatibility Plan, and General Plan is maintained. In addition, staff has analyzed the proposed amendments and finds that they do not create any conflicts with the Local Coastal Program. The LCP is a land use planning document containing special policies and regulations that supplement other city regulations, and together with city plans and policies, govem development in the coastal zone. The LCP policies primarily address coastal issues, such as shoreline access and protection of sensitive resources. However, no policies of the LCP are affected, nor are any conflicts created by the proposed general plan amendments. V. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The proposed amendments are exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA Section 15061(b)(3), which exempts projects "where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment." 77 GPA 10-02 - AIRPORT LAND USE COMPATIBILITY January 4, 2012 Page 6 In January 25, 2010, the ALUC adopted a Negative Declarafion for the ALUCP and found that there was no substanfial evidence that the Compatibility Plan for the McClellan-Palomar Airport would have a significant effect on the environment. The City of Carlsbad's action, through GPA 10-02, is to incorporate by reference the adopted ALUCP into its General Plan and make other minor modificafions to ensure that the General Plan and Noise Guidelines Manual are consistent with the ALUCP. The city's acfion does not enact the regulafions established by the ALUCP, as these have been in effect since the document was adopted by the ALUC. By making Carlsbad's general plan consistent with the ALUCP, certain enforcement authorities are transferred to the city from the ALUC, but the subject regulafions are not changed. Therefore, as the regulations of the ALUCP are already in effect, and the ALUC found the adoption of the ALUCP would not have a significant effect on the environment, it can be seen with certainty that amendments to make the General Plan and Noise Guidelines Manual consistent with the existing ALUCP will not result in a significant effect on the environment.

Terminology Updates: the proposed amendments correct outdated terms relating to the airport compatibility plan document title and Airport Land Use Commission function. Discussion/ Analysis The former title for the compatibility plan document that was originally adopted in 1994 was "Comprehensive Land Use Plan for McClellan- Palomar Airport". This title was replaced in the 2004 update ofthat document with "McClellan- Palomar Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan"; however, the General Plan was not updated to reflect this title change. State law provides for the establishment of an ALUC, a function which the San Diego Association of Governments performed at the time the 1994 compatibility plan was adopted. This function now rests with the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority. Affected Document and Policy Land Use Element sections: - II.D.4 - III.

It does this by stating that all future applicable development projects must comply with the ALUCP compatibility policies in order to be found in compliance with the General Plan and Noise Guidelines Manual. This is not a change from past practice, but rather a replacement of the reference to the 2004 ALUCP with a reference to the 2010 ALUCP. Land Use Element section: - lil.

A new General Plan policy is proposed to require nonresidential development to comply with the noise compatibility policies ofthe 2010 ALUCP. This is not a change from existing city practice; however, this practice was not clearly stated in the General Plan. Both the 2004 and 2010 ALUCPs require both residential and nonresidential development to comply with their respective noise compatibility policies. Noise Element section: - IV. Airport C.6 9.

Clarify that in the event that the City Council overrides the ALUCP noise policies, the City Council must find that the override is consistent with the state airport land use planning statutes.

CDP 11-18 - PALENSCAR RESIDENCE - Request for approval of a Coastal Development Permit to allow for the construction of a new 2,035 square foot, two-story single-family residence with an attached three car garage on a 0.33-acre lot tocated at 3798 Highland Drive within the Mello 11 Segment of the Local Coastal Program and Local Facilities Management Zone 1. 2. CDP 11-19 - CARLSBAD MUNICIPAL GOLF COURSE MAPPING - Request for a determination that the project is within the scope of the previously certified City of Carlsbad Municipal Golf Course Program EIR (EIR 97-01); and approval, for that portion of the project site which is within the coastal zone, of Coastal Development Pemiit CDP 11-19 to subdivide 504.7 acres into six golf course lots, three future development lots, and one future park lot on property generally located north of Palomar Airport Road, east and west of College Boulevard, and south of Faraday Avenue within the boundaries of the City of Carlsbad Municipal Golf Course in Local Facilities Management Zones 5 and 8. Mr. Neu stated Agenda Items 1 and 2 would normally be heard in a public hearing context; however, the projects appear to be minor and routine in nature with no outstanding issues and Staff recommends approval. He recommended that the public hearing be opened and closed, and that the Commission proceed with a vote as a consent item. Staff would be available to respond to questions if the Commission or someone from the public wished to pull Agenda Items 1 or 2. In regards to Agenda Item 1, Commissioner L'Heureux asked if the project will require the installation of curb, gutter, and streetlights or if those improvements will be part of a future neighborhood agreement. Glen Van Peski, Engineering Manager, stated that Highland Drive is an altemative design street The project is conditioned to execute a neighborhood improvement agreement and will not actually be constructing any improvements. Chairperson Schumacher asked if any member of the audience wished to address Agenda Items 1 or 2. Seeing none, he opened and closed public testimony. ACTION: Motion by Commissioner Siekmann, and duly seconded, that the Planning Commission approve Agenda Items 1 and 2.

Chairperson Schumacher opened the public hearing on Agenda Item 3. Mr. Funk gave a brief presentation and stated he would be available to answer any questions. Chairperson Schumacher acknowledged receipt of an en-ata sheet regarding Agenda Item 3. Chairperson Schumacher asked if there were any questions of Staff. Commissioner L'Heureux asked if there have been any plane crashes In Zone 6. Mr. Funk stated there was a plane crash in the open space along El Fuerte Street within Zone 6. Commissioner Nygaard asked if there are any legal impacts about the oven'ide and the legal impacts to the City. Ms. Mobaldi stated the Public Utilities Code provides that if the City votes by 2/3rds vote to override a decision or recommendation of the Land Use Commission, that the operator of the airport, which is the county, will no longer be liable for any damages resulting, directly or indirectly, from the override. The City's view is that that immunity for the operator of the airport is limited to the specific subject matter of the ovemde. Ms. Mobaldi clarified that it does not mean that the City is liable or that anyone else is liable. The statute does not detemiine liability; it merely states that the operator is immune from liability with regard to the override. Chairperson Schumacher asked if there were any other questions of Staff. Chairperson Schumacher asked if there were any members of the audience who wished to speak on the item. Seeing none, he opened and closed public testimony. DISCUSSIQN Commissioner Nygaard stated the City is merely complying with what the county is requiring. She stated she can approve the project.

According to the ALUCP, the McClellan-Palomar airport had 15,000 passenger boardings, also referred to as enplanements (see discussion in link above). ly' Cl ( r Of CARLSBAD Planning Department Corey Funk, AICP Associate Planner City of Carlsbad 1635 Faraday Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008 www.carlsbadca.gov P: 760-602-4645 F: 760-602-8559 corey.funl<(S)carlsbadca.gov Airport Categories Page 1 of 2 Federal Aviation Administration Airport Categories The only airports, or portions of airports, eligible for AlP funding are public use airports that serve civil aviation. The definifion for airports in the law refers to any area of land or water used or intended for landing or takeoff of aircraft. This includes, within the five categories of airports tisted below, special types of facilities including seaplane bases, heliports, and facilifies to accommodate filt rotor aircraft. An airport includes an appurtenant area used or intended for airport buildings, facilifies, as well as rights of way together with the buildings and facilifies. The law defines airports by categories of airport activities, including commercial service, primary, cargo sen/ice, reliever, and general aviation airports, as shown below: Airport Cla ssifications Hub Type: Percentage of Annual Passenger Boardings Common Name Commercial Service: Publicly owned airports that have at least 2,500 passenger boardings each calendar year and receive scheduled passenger service §47102(7) Primary: Have more than 10.000 passenger boardings each year §47102(11) Large: 1 % or more Large Hub Commercial Service: Publicly owned airports that have at least 2,500 passenger boardings each calendar year and receive scheduled passenger service §47102(7) Primary: Have more than 10.000 passenger boardings each year §47102(11) Medium: At least 0.25%, but less than 1 % Medium Hub Commercial Service: Publicly owned airports that have at least 2,500 passenger boardings each calendar year and receive scheduled passenger service §47102(7) Primary: Have more than 10.000 passenger boardings each year §47102(11) Small: At least 0.05%, but less than 0.25% Small Hub Commercial Service: Publicly owned airports that have at least 2,500 passenger boardings each calendar year and receive scheduled passenger service §47102(7) Primary: Have more than 10.000 passenger boardings each year §47102(11) Nonhub: More than 10,000, but less than 0.05% Nonhub Primary Commercial Service: Publicly owned airports that have at least 2,500 passenger boardings each calendar year and receive scheduled passenger service §47102(7) Nonprimary Nonhub: At least 2,500 and no more than than 10,000 Nonprimary Commercial Service Nonprimary (Except Commercial Service) Not Applicable Reliever §47102(18) See Definitions of Airport Categories below for more information. Definition of Airport Categories 1. Commercial Service Airports are publicly owned airports that have at least 2.500 passenger boardings each calendar year and receive scheduled passenger service. Passenger boardings refer to revenue passenger boardings on an aircraft in service in air commerce whether or not in scheduled service. The definition also includes passengers who confinue on an aircraft in httn'/AxAvw fan om;/aimr>rt<!/nlflnnino pnnarifv/r»cicof»nrra». nil/ Airport Categories P^g^ 2 of 2 international flight that stops at an airport in any of the 50 States for a non-traffic purpose, such as refueling or aircraft maintenance rather than passenger activity. Passenger boardings at airports that receive scheduled passenger service are also referred to as Enplanements. ^. Nonprimary Commercial Service Airports are Commercial Sen/ice Airports that have at least 2,500 and no more than 10,000 passenger boardings each year. b. Primary Airports are Commercial Sen/ice Airports that have more than 10,000 passenger boardings each year. Hub categories for Primary Airports are defined as a percentage of total passenger boardings within the United States in the most current calendar year ending before the start of the current fiscal year. For example, calendar year 2001 data are used for fiscal year 2003 since the fiscal year began 9 months after the end of that calendar year. The table below depicts the formulae used for the definifion of airport categories based on statutory provisions cited within the table, including Hub Type described in 49 USC 47102. 2. Cargo Service Airports are airports that, in addifion to any other air transportafion sen/ices that may be available, are served by aircraft providing air transportafion of only cargo with a total annual landed weight of more than 100 million pounds. "Landed weight" means the weight of aircraft transporting only cargo in intrastate, interstate, and foreign air transportation. An airport may be both a commercial service and a cargo sen/ice airport. 3. Reliever Airports are airports designated by the FAA to relieve congesfion at Commercial Sen/ice Airports and to provide improved general aviation access to the overall community. These may be publicly or privately-owned. 4. The remaining airports, while not specifically defined in Tifie 49 USC, are commonly described as General Aviation Airports. This airport type is the largest single group of airports in the U.S. system. The category also includes privately owned, public use airports that enplane 2500 or more passengers annually and receive scheduled airtine service. The airport privatizafion pilot program authorized under Tifie 49 U.S.C, Secfion 47134, may affect individual general aviafion airports. Underthis program, some private rather than public ownership provisions are allowed, and questions on it should be directed to the Airport Compliance Division (http://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/arp/offices/aco/aco100/).

According to the ALUCP, the McClellan-Palomar airport had 15,000 passenger boardings, also referred to as enplanements (see discussion in link above). ^ CITY Of CMLSBAD Planning Department Corey Funk, AICP Associate Planner City of Carlsbad 1635 Faraday Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008 www.carlsbadca.gov P: 760-602-4645 F: 760-602-8559 corev.funkOcartsbadca.gov Airport Categories Page 1 of2 F«d6ral Aviation Admrnistnillon Airport Categories The only airports, or portions of airports, eligible for AlP funding are public use airports that serve civil aviation. The definifion for airports in the law refers to any area of land or water used or intended for landing or takeoff of aircraft. This includes, within the five categories of airports listed below, special types of facilifies including seaplane bases, heliports, and facilifies to accommodate tilt rotor aircraft. An airport includes an appurtenant area used or intended for airport buildings, facilifies, as well as rights of way together with the buildings and facilities. The law defines airports by categories of airport activifies, including commercial service, primary, cargo sen/ice, reliever, and general aviation airports, as shown below: Airport Cla ssifications Hub Type: Percentage of Annual Passenger Boardings Common Name Commercial Service: Publicly owned airports that have at least 2,500 Primary: Have more than 10.000 passenger boardings each year §47102(11) Large: 1 % or more Large Hub Commercial Service: Publicly owned airports that have at least 2,500 Primary: Have more than 10.000 passenger boardings each year §47102(11) Medium: At least 0.25%, but less than 1 % Medium Hub passenger boardings each calendar year and receive scheduled passenger service §47102(7) Primary: Have more than 10.000 passenger boardings each year §47102(11) Small: At least 0.05%, but less than 0.25% Small Hub passenger boardings each calendar year and receive scheduled passenger service §47102(7) Primary: Have more than 10.000 passenger boardings each year §47102(11) Nonhub: More than 10,000, but less than 0.05% Nonhub Primary passenger boardings each calendar year and receive scheduled passenger service §47102(7) Nonprimary Nonhub: At least 2,500 and no more than than 10,000 Nonprimary Commercial Service Nonprimary (Except Commercial Service) Not Applicable Reliever §47102(18) See Definitions of Airport Categories below for more information. Definition of Airport Categories 1. Commercial Service Airports are publicly owned airports that have at least 2,500 passenger boardings each calendar year and receive scheduled passenger service. Passenger boardings refer to revenue passenger boardings on an aircraft in sen/ice in air commerce whether or not in scheduled service. The definition also Includes passengers who continue on an aircraft in Airport Categories Page 2 of 2 internafional flight that stops at an airport in any of the 50 States for a non-traffic purpose, such as refueling or aircraft maintenance rather than passenger acfivity. Passenger boardings at airports that receive scheduled passenger service are also referred to as Enplanements. a. Nonprimary Commercial Service Airports are Commercial Service Airports that have at least 2,500 and no more than 10,000 passenger boardings each year. b. Primary Airports are Commercial Sen/ice Airports that have more than 10,000 passenger boardings each year. Hub categories for Primary Airports are defined as a percentage of total passenger boardings within the United States in the most current calendar year ending before the start of the current fiscal year. For example, calendar year 2001 data are used for fiscal year 2003 since the fiscal year began 9 months after the end of that calendar year. The table below depicts the formulae used for the definifion of airport categories based on statutory provisions cited within the table, including Hub Type described in 49 USC 47102. 2. Cargo Service Airports are airports that, in addition to any other air transportation sen/ices that may be available, are served by aircraft providing air transportafion of only cargo with a total annual landed weight of more than 100 million pounds. "Landed weight" means the weight of aircraft transporting only cargo in intrastate, interstate, and foreign air transportafion. An airport may be both a commercial sen/ice and a cargo service airport. 3. Reliever Airports are airports designated by the FAA to relieve congesfion at Commercial Service Airports and to provide improved general aviafion access to the overall community. These may be publicly or privately-owned. 4. The remaining airports, while not specifically defined in Tifie 49 USC, are commonly described as General Aviation Airports. This airport type is the largest single group of airports in the U.S. system. The category also includes privately owned, public use airports that enplane 2500 or more passengers annually and receive scheduled airiine service.
