Project's EIR and presented at the ALUC hearing. The JWA GAIP EIR also contains noise analysis demonstrating that the Project is outside of the 60 dBA CNEL noise contour. This noise analysis is based on one year's worth of aircraft operations in all runway operating configurations with for both existing aircraft fleet mixes and future fleet forecasts. This analysis includes the time of day of all operations and includes noise penalties for evening (7 pm to 10 pm) and night (10 pm to 7 am) aircraft operations of five and ten decibels per operation. Residential land uses are normally consistent in areas impacted by aircraft noise up to 60 dBA CNEL and commercial land uses up to 65 dBA CNEL as shown in the AELUP Table 1. These are the same noise standards used by the FAA and the State of California to identify compatible land uses near airports. ii. The project is located outside of the JWA single -event aircraft noise contours. The detailed aircraft noise analysis completed as part of the JWA GAIP EIR included analysis of single event aircraft noise. This analysis included single event noise contours for the noisiest aircraft making regular use of JWA. The Project developer's consultant provided analysis and information at the ALUC hearing showing the Project site is located outside of the JWA 85 dB single event noise contours for all aircraft making regular use of the Airport. The project includes mitigation measure notifying future residents. The Final EIR for the Project revised on May 22, 2020 includes a mitigation measure requiring "Notice of Airport in Vicinity," to be included in all lease/rental agreements and post outdoor signage informing the public of the presence of operating aircraft, which demonstrates further compliance with the AELUP and to minimize potential future noise complaints. d. Safety. The residential and commercial land uses under the proposed project are consistent with the safety standards of the AELUP. Project is not in any of the AELUP safety zones. The project is located more than a mile from the outer edge of AELUP Zone 6, Traffic Pattern Zone as depicted in Appendix D. Further, AELUP Appendix D states the "Basic Compatibility Qualities" of Zone 6 as "Allow residential uses" and "Allow most nonresidential uses." Project is not in the JWA runway protection zones (RPZ). The Project is located nearly two miles from the outer edge of the nearest JWA RPZ. ii. The FAA's Determinations of No Hazard to Air Navigation for the Mixed -Use development structures are the only source of authoritative, aviation safety findings regarding the project.
