ALUC Comments The Bowery at 2300 South Redhill 828 19 Page 2 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 DEIR should also discuss that the proposed project site would be exposed to significant aircraft overflight and single event noise due to the project's location under the aircraft approach corridor for JWA. Single noise events in this area would create serious disturbance to many inhabitants and to those utilizing the proposed outdoor areas such as the open space courtyards, roof deck and perimeter plazas and open space areas for resident and the public. Because of the project's proximity to a noise impacted area, any prospective resident should be notified of the presence of aircraft overflight. We recommend that the DEIR include a mitigation measure stating that any residential development in the JWA influence area would be notified of potential aircraft overflight as follows: "NOTICE OF AIRPORT IN VICINITY: This property is presently located in the vicinity of an airport, within what is known as an airport influence area. For that reason, the property may be subject to some of tine annoyances or inconveniences associated with proximity to airport operations (far example: noise, vibration or odors) Individual sensitivities to those annoyances can vary from person to person S'ou may wish to consider what airport annoyances, if any, are associated sr-ith the properly before you complete your purchase and determine whether they are acceptable to you. " The Draft EIR should also identify if the project will be impacted by helicopter overflight due to the close proximity of helicopter arrival and departure operations at JWA and if the project allows for heliports as defined in the Orange County .4ELUP for Heliports. Should the development of heliports occur within your jurisdiction, proposals to develop new heliports must be submitted through the City to the ALUC for review and action pursuant to Public Utilities Code Section 21661.5. Proposed heliport projects must comply fully with the state permit procedure provided by law and with all conditions of approval imposed or recommended by FAA, by the ALUC for Orange County and by Caltrans/Division of Aeronautics. Because this project falls within the JPVA AELUP planning areas and requires a General Plan Amendment, it is recommended that the project be referred to the Airport Land Use Commission for a Consistency determination with the AELUP for JWA. In this regard, please note that the Commission wants such referrals to be submitted to the ALUC staff between the Local Agency's expected Planning Commission and City Council hearings. Since the ALUC meets on the third Thursday afternoon of each month, submittals must be received in the ALUC office by the first of the month to ensure sufficient time for review, analysis, and agendizing. 75C-950
