City of Santa Ana Draft Orange County Airport Land Use Commission Overrule Findings Related Bristol Specific Plan Project at 3600 South Bristol Street Page 3 of 10 existing high-rises in the vicinity, FAA notification requirements for buildings exceeding 200 feet in height, and that the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report ("SEIR") for the Project would contain a mitigation measure requiring "Notice of Airport in Vicinity," to be included in all leaselrental 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. Despite this information, the ALUC voted to find the Project inconsistent per Section 3.2.1 of the AELUP. C. Noise. The residential and commercial land uses under the proposed Project are consistent with the aircraft noise standards of the AELUP. The Project is located outside of the JWA 60 to 65 dBA CNEL aircraft noise contours. Aircraft noise analysis was completed in the Project's SEIR (State Clearinghouse No. 2020029087) 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. 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. iii. The Project includes required measure notifying future residents. The conditions of approval including notification measures, which includes required measure requiring "Notice of Airport in Vicinity," to be included in all leaselrental agreements and post outdoor signage informing the public of the presence of operating aircraft, which demonstrates further compliance with the AELUP and to Attachment A Exhibit 12 - John Wayne Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) and California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Division of Aeronautics Notice of Intent to Overrule and ALUC Response
