1 Santa Barbara County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan Update February 6,

2 Welcome Santa Maria Public Airport New Cuyama Airport Vandenberg Air Force Base Lompoc Airport Santa Ynez Valley Airport Santa Barbara Municipal Airport 2

3 Review Land Use Compatibility Factors 3

4 Overflight Layer Overflight Based on flight tracks, airport operations, community factors (e.g., areas of substantial noise complaint) 4

5 Airspace Protection Layer Airspace FAR Part 77 Surfaces 5

6 Noise Layer Noise Noise Contours from Existing Studies Represents future conditions at the airports 6

7 Safety Layer Safety Caltrans Generic Zones Adjusted for each airport based on operating conditions 7

8 Compatibility Factors - Update Santa Maria Public Airport (SMX) New Master Plan in process Recommendation Leave Compatibility Factors as is Vandenberg Air Force Base (AFB) No change to AICUZ Recommendation Leave Compatibility Factors as is Lompoc Airport (LPC) Recommendation Leave Noise and Overflight Layers as is Recommendation Review Safety Zone 6 and Airspace Protection 14

9 Compatibility Factors - Update New Cuyama (L88) No Airport Layout Plan (ALP) or Master Plan Recommendation We have Draft Generic Safety Zones, other factors to be discussed Santa Ynez Airport (IZA) New ALP Recommendation Review all compatibility factors based on ALP Santa Barbara Municipal Airport (SBA) New Master Plan is complete, but not adopted Recommendation Leave Noise and Airspace Protection Layers as is Recommendation Review Safety Zones and Overflight 15

10 Next Steps Development displacement analysis and Initial Study (IS) Resolve potential land use conflicts CEQA Environmental Review IS/Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) Environmental Impact Report 16

11 Development Displacement Analysis Why a development displacement analysis? Required by law (Muzzy Ranch case) Adoption of the ALUCP may result in displacement of planned future land uses within areas around each airport due to incompatibility with the safety and noise compatibility policies/criteria Restricting development in one area could lead to increased development pressure in other areas This could lead to changes in land use patterns, shifts in population density/intensity, and secondary impacts (e.g., increases in traffic, noise) 17

12 Development Displacement Analysis Analysis centered on Safety Zones and Noise Contours Focused on vacant parcels within areas covered by each airport s safety zones and noise contours (study area) Existing land uses, federal/tribal lands not subject to ALUCP Identify vacant parcels/parcels with infill potential using various data sets, aerial photography, and assistance of agencies 18

13 Development Displacement Analysis 19

14 Development Displacement Analysis Analyze parcels for potential displacement Calculate potential loss of residential dwelling units (number of units) Calculate potential loss of commercial/industrial area (total area [square footage]) In the event that potential displacement is identified We will work with agencies to try to resolve any potential land use conflicts before moving forward Adjust policies Adjust compatibility factors 20

15 CEQA Environmental Review First step Initial Study Results of displacement analysis: Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND), or Environmental Impact Report (EIR) 21

16 General Plan Integration/Implementation Airport Master Plan/Airport Layout Plan Prepare Draft ALUCP Public and Stakeholders Board ALUCP Local Agencies Implement Caltrans Handbook TAC Overrule 22

17 General Plan Integration/Implementation Once an ALUCP has been adopted or amended by an ALUC, general plans and any applicable specific plans be amended as necessary to be consistent with the ALUCP (Gov. Code 65302(a)-(b) ) Alternatively, local agencies have the option of taking the steps necessary to overrule all or part of the ALUCP (Id. at (c)) State law provides that an agency do one or the other within 180 days of adoption of the ALUCP by the ALUC (Id. at (b)-(c)) Failure to initiate either option within the time frame allotted will require local agencies to submit all land use development actions involving property within the AIA to the ALUC for review (PUC (a)) 23

18 General Plan Integration/Implementation Local plans can be made consistent with ALUCP through various methods Directly amend general/specific plans Adopt General Plan Airport Element Adopt ALUCP as Stand-Alone Adopt Airport Combining District or Overlay Zoning Ordinance Consistency does not require local plans to be identical to the ALUCP Eliminate direct conflicts with compatibility planning criteria Establish procedures that implement and ensure compliance 24

19 General Plan Integration/Implementation To accomplish this, local plans must: Delineate compatibility criteria to be applied to individual development actions Identify mechanisms to be used to apply relevant compatibility criteria to particular development projects Indicate the procedures to be followed in review and approval of development actions affecting lands within the AIA 25
