City of Santa Ana Draft Orange County Airport Land Use Commission Overrule Findings Related Bristol Specific Plan Project at 3600 South Bristol Street Page 8 of 10 of land adjacent to or in the immediate vicinity of the airport to activities and purposes compatible with normal airport operations, including landing and takeoff of aircraft. In addition, if the Project is for noise compatibility program implementation, it will not cause or permit any change in land use, within its jurisdiction, thatwill reduce its compatibility, with respect to the airport, of the noise compatibility program measures upon which Federal funds have been expended. e. Height. The residential and commercial land uses under the proposed Project are consistent with the height standards of the AELUP. The allowable height of structures surrounding an airport is described in FAR Part 77 as the allowable height at which safe movement of aircraft occurs. The regulation requires that notice be given to the FAA if there is a proposal to construct a structure that would exceed a 100:1 slope of an imaginary surface extending outward for 20,000 feet from the nearest runway at JWA. Beyond the 100:1 imaginary surface, FAR Part 77 requires notification to FAA for any project that will be more than 200 feet in height above the ground level. The proposed buildings associated with the Specific Plan would not exceed the sloping, three-dimensional 100:1 (one percent sloping surface from the nearest runway over 3,200 feet in actual length) FAA notification surface to require the Filing of FAA Form 7460-1. This information was provided by the Project applicant's representative during the ALUC hearing on the Project. The buildings exceeding 200 feet in height in the Specific Plan area will not exceed the sloping, three-dimensional 50:1 FAA precision instrument Approach Surface to JWA Runway 20R. This information was provided by the Project applicant's representative during the ALUC hearing on the Project. iii. Each future site -specific implementing development under the Project will be required to be submitted through the City's development review process, at which point if a specific building is proposed within the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Notification Area that exceeds 200 feet in height, FAA notification compliance would be required through the development review process. iv. In addition to requiring FAA notification for any buildings exceeding 200 feet in height within the Project area, AELUP and FAR Part 77 require an FAA aeronautical study to be conducted to ensure that the proposed structures would not constitute a hazard to air 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
