BARCELONA <br />DEPUTIES <br />Re: Proposed Amended Airport Environs Element of City's General Plan <br />Dear Ms. Otto: <br />One of the fundamental responsibilities assigned to airport land use commissions <br />( "ALUC ") by the STATE AERONAUTICS Act is to review particular types of local actions for <br />compliance with the criteria and policies set forth in the ALUC's adopted compatibility plans. <br />As I am sure you are aware, of all the types of land use actions which an ALUC reviews, general <br />plans require the most careful scrutiny because once the ALUC has deemed the general plan <br />consistent with the compatibility plan, most subsequent land use actions and development <br />proposals will not be reviewed by the ALUC unless the local agency, in this case the City of <br />Santa Ana ( "City "), agrees to submit them. Therefore, in an attempt to anticipate concerns that <br />the ALUC may have with respect to the City's proposed General Plan amendments, and to <br />coordinate with you on these issues prior to ALUC review, I have evaluated the proposed <br />amendments in the context of both the California Airport Land Use Planning Handbook <br />(January 2002), generated by the State of California Department of Transportation, Division of <br />Aeronautics, the Airport Environs Land Use Plan ( "AELUP ") for John Wayne Airport, Orange <br />County ( "JWA "), and related documents. Though the General Plan Amendment submitted by <br />the City on July 19, 2004, was a step forward in achieving consistency with the AELUP, this <br />evaluation has resulted in additional issues surfacing that, in my opinion, should be addressed in <br />order to attain consistency of the City's General Plan Amendment with the AELUP for JWA. In <br />my discussions of some of these issues with ALUC Executive Officer, Joan Golding, she <br />informed me that she had raised similar issues in the June 14, 2004, meeting between Ms. <br />Golding, Mr. Alfred Brady, and City staff and consultants. <br />CUP 04 -24 /DA 04 -3 1TTM 04 -5 <br />G:\ advisory\jgolden\jack golden 2004Wirpo SPR 04-6/VA 04- 11 /ZOA 04 -5 <br />EXHIBIT H <br />
