2 5 Background ata: hico Municipal irport and Environs INTROUTION hico Municipal irport is the largest and busiest airport in Butte ounty. The airport is owned and operated by the ity of hico and occupies some 2.3 square miles (1,475 acres) on the northern edge of the ity of hico. The airport currently handles over 50,000 aircraft takeoffs and landings annually and is home to more than 100 based aircraft. hico Municipal includes two parallel runways. Runway 13L- 31R is the airport s 6,724-foot long primary runway which is equipped with a precision instrument landing system and is capable of accommodating a full range of business jet aircraft. Runway 13R-31L is the visual general aviation runway which is 2,560 feet long. The airport has an airport traffic control tower and serves as a primary regional base for fire-suppression aircraft. From 1947 through late 2014, hico Municipal irport provided limited scheduled commuter airline service on an intermittent basis. lthough the airport has no scheduled passenger air service today, the ity of hico and local groups understand the value of commercial air service to the region and are taking steps to reestablish airline service at the airport. Land use compatibility has long been a concern at hico Municipal irport. When originally developed by the military during World War II, the facility was situated several miles from the edge of the city. Over the years, though, urban expansion has gradually crept closer. Two actions taken in the late 1970s have provided some protection from incompatible nearby development. Perhaps most significant was the city s acquisition of all property within a ½-by-1-mile area beyond each end of the main runway. Secondly, the city and county jointly sponsored preparation of a hico Municipal irport Environs Plan. This plan was used to set modest limitations on development primarily residential development on the basis of noise impacts. Safety was deemed as not being a concern beyond the 1-mile acquisition area boundary. Prior to preparation of the 2000 ompatibility Plan, the Environs Plan also served as the basis for the Butte ounty irport Land Use ommission compatibility policies for the airport. The following exhibits illustrate the compatibility factors and background information which serve as the basis for this irport Land Use ompatibility Plan for hico Municipal irport. Exhibit 5-1: irport Features Summary. Presents information pertaining to the airport configuration, operational characteristics and applicable planning documents.

3 HPTER 5 BKGROUN T: HIO MUNIIPL IRPORT N ENVIRONS Exhibit 5-2: irport Layout Plan. The irport Layout Plan depicts the existing and future airfield configuration and airport building areas. The irport Layout Plan (2009) reflects a proposal to extend both runways: a 1,876-foot northward addition to the primary runway for an ultimate length of 8,600 feet and a doubling of the parallel runway to 6,000 feet in length (1,500 foot extension to north and south). Exhibit 5-3: irport ctivity ata Summary. This table summarizes the data used in the noise contour calculations conducted for the irport Master Plan (2003). The Master Plan s 2020 forecast reflects some 86,458 annual operations. The 2000 ompatibility Plan for hico Municipal irport used an expanded forecast of 141,700 annual operations to protect the long-term viability of the region s busiest airport. The forecast of 141,700 annual operations is brought forward as the basis of this ompatibility Plan s noise policies. Exhibits 5-4 through 5-7: ompatibility Factors. epicts the extents of the four compatibility factors upon which the ompatibility Zones for hico Municipal irport were derived. The four compatibility factors are defined by: Noise Future noise contours reflecting an ultimate aircraft activity forecast level of 141,700 annual operations. Safety Generic safety zones provided in the alifornia irport Land Use Planning Handbook (October 2011) are applied to the existing and future runway configurations in the following manner: Runway 13L-31R: Safety zones for a long general aviation runway (length 6,000 feet or more) are applied to the existing and future runway configuration. Runway 13R-31L: Safety zones for a medium general aviation runway (Length 4,000 to 5,999 feet) are applied to the existing and future runway configuration. Overflight Primary traffic patterns reflecting where aircraft operating at the airport routinely fly. irspace Protection The F notification and obstruction surfaces as defined by Federal viation Regulation (FR) Part 77, Safe, Efficient Use and Preservation of the Navigable irspace. Exhibit 5-8: irport Environs Information. Summarizes information about current and planned land uses in the environs of the hico Municipal irport. The status of local general plans and airport land use compatibility policies contained in those plans are also summarized. Exhibit 5-9: ounty of Butte General Plan Land Uses. Shows the planned land use designations as reflected in the Butte ounty General Plan 2030 Land Use Element (amended November 2012). Exhibit 5-10: ity of hico General Plan Land Uses.
