2. Safety. The residential and commercial land uses under the proposed project are <br /> consistent with the safety standards of the JWA AELUP. <br /> a. Section 2.1.2 of the JWA AELUP describes the airport's safety compatibility <br /> zones. <br /> (1) Per Section 2.1.2 of the JWA AELUP, "Safety and compatibility zones depict <br /> which land uses are acceptable and which are unacceptable in various <br /> portions of airport environs." <br /> (2) The purpose of these zones, per the JWA AELUP, is to "support the <br /> continued use and operation of an airport by establishing compatibility and <br /> safety standards to promote air navigational safety and to reduce potential <br /> safety hazards for persons living, working or recreating near JWA." <br /> b. The JWA AELUP identifies the following Safety Zones: <br /> (1) Zone 1: Runway Protection Zone <br /> (2) Zone 2: Inner Approach/Departure <br /> (3) Zone 3: Inner Turning Zone <br /> (4) Zone 4: Outer Approach/Departure Zone <br /> (5) Zone 5: Sideline Zone <br /> (6) Zone 6: Traffic Pattern Zone <br /> c. The Project is not in the JWA runway protection zones (RPZ). <br /> d. None of the Project Focus Areas are in any of the JWA AELUP safety zones. <br /> JWA AELUP Safety Zone 6 overlays a small portion of the City south of <br /> MacArthur Boulevard, however the Project does not propose any change in land <br /> use or zoning in this area. <br /> e. The ALUC Staff Report states that "The proposed changes in Land Use in the <br /> 55/Dyer Focus Area would result in 9,952 total residential units within the flight <br /> corridor for John Wayne Airport subjecting future residents to noise and safety <br /> issues." <br /> (1) As noted above and in Section 2.1.2 and Appendix D of the JWA AELUP, the <br /> "flight corridor for John Wayne Airport" is not an identified Safety Zone for <br /> JWA. Nor is a "flight corridor" a defined, restrictive term in the JWA AELUP, <br /> the PUC, or the Federal Aviation Regulations. <br /> f. No part of the Project will be inconsistent with the policies set forth in Section <br /> 2.1.2 of the JWA AELUP regarding Safety Compatibility Zones. Furthermore, the <br /> ALUC did not find, and cannot find, that the Project is inconsistent with Section <br /> 2.1.2 of the JWA AELUP. <br /> g. Based on the foregoing, the Project will not result in the exposure of City <br /> residents to excessive safety hazards within the meaning of PUC Section 21670. <br /> City Council 32 — 316 Resolution NVINAO RX <br /> Page 8 of 11 <br />
