Mr. Jack W. Golden September 16,2004 Page 14 of20 approval of a zoning ordinance or building regulation within the planning boundaries established by ALUC." See, PUC Section 21676. Further, Section 21676.5(b) states "Whenever the local agency has revised its general plan or specific plan or has overruled the commission pursuant to subdivision (a) the proposed action of the local agency shall not be subject to further commission review, unless the commission and the local agency agree that individual projects shall be reviewed by the commission." This voluntary submittal of projects other than what is legally required by Section 21676 is also discussed within the AELUP at section 4.6. "A project other that those described above [General Plan and Specific Plans, Amendments to General Plans and Specific Plans, Zoning Ordinances and Building Regulations and Airport Master Plans], including but not limited to use permits and site plans, may be submitted voluntarily to the Commission for a recommendation prior to its adoption." As such, if the ALUC is requiring the submittal of projects not legally required under state law in order for the AEE to be "consistent" then the City's consent would not be "voluntary." Merriam-Webster defines voluntary as "1: proceeding from the will or from one's own choice or consent 2: unconstrained by interference. " The AELUP correctly complies with the authority granted to ALUC under state law, while your request exceeds the authority of not only state law but the actual language of the AELUP. There is nothing within this section of your letter that indicates how the AEE is inconsistent with the AELUP in this regard. IX. Page 5, Item 4, Paragraph 2, Sentence 2 & Page 5, Item 5 "The Airport Environs Element should also incorporate some of the language set forth in the general land use policies on pages 20 and 21 of the AEL UP. " "On page 17 of the Airport Environs Element only one sentence is devoted to safety, basically implying that since there are no accident potential zones ("APZs oJ within Santa Ana there is no safety issue. This, of course, is not true and is not consistent with the safety policies set forth in the JWA AELUP. The City should incorporate into its General Plan the safety criteria provided in the AELUP, in Section 3.2.1, on pages 20 and 21." First the "safety policies" you reference are actually "land use policies" within the AELUP. According to the AELUP, "JW A Runway Protection Zones are shown in Appendix D on the map entitled John Wayne Airport Impact Zones. The Commission has not adopted Accident Potential Zones for this airport because none could be justified by the available data." AELUP page 18. This statement is supported by the omission ofa current Accident History, unless the Accident History 1969-1978 is the most current Accident History data. 75C-209
