" Additionally, we recommend that the DEIR include the City's maximum allowable building height for the proposed project area as permitted through the City's General Plan or Zoning Code. Because the proposed project site is located under the aircraft approach corridor and conical surface for JWA, we request that the DEIR discuss maximum building heights and existing ground elevation to address whether the proposed project remains below the imaginary surfaces for JWA. It is also recommended that the DEIR address land use compatibility impacts, safety impacts, visual impacts and outdoor recreational area impacts given the project's location within the JWA primary aircraft approach corridor, including the impacts of approving multi -family residential units at this project site. The Draft EIR should also identify if the project will be impacted by helicopter overnight due to the close proximity of helicopter arrival and departure operations at JWA and if the project allows for heliports as defined in the AELUPfor Heliports.
