Y <br />t as <br />5.12 John Wayne Airport <br />5.12.1 Environmental Setting <br />The project site is located outside the 60 CNEL noise contour <br />for John Wayne Airport and is located over one mile from the area <br />designated as the approach and horizontal surface. Figure 31 <br />illustrates the location of the site in relation to John Wayne Airport's <br />approach and horizontal surfaces. The existing commercial development <br />on the site generates minimal impact upon John Wayne Airport operations. <br />The airport is currently operating at over -capacity conditions and <br />airport parking is grossly inadequate to meet existing demand. Based <br />upon existing conditions and current projections, John Wayne Airport <br />will not be able to satisfy short-term demand without significant <br />expansion of airport operations and facilities. <br />5.1?.2 Impacts <br />Project Impacts <br />The proposed retail, office and hotel development would <br />increase demand for air service and parking at John Wayne Airport in <br />common with all new development approved for construction in Orange <br />County. The project would probably result in additional passenger <br />demand at John Wayne Airport, where even the existing demand is <br />presently not being met by the airport. <br />As shown in Figure 30, the project is not located 'under the <br />approach or horizontal surface of the airport. However, the Federal <br />Aviation Administration regulations, as cited in Part 77, require a <br />determination as to the aeronautical hazard of structures which intrude <br />1, <br />into an imaginary horizontal surface of 203 feet above sea level.* <br />{ <br />E. a <br />* Shirli Reithard, Supervising Planner, Orange County, Airport Land <br />..
