Working Document-Subject to Change, March 2010 27 EXAMPLE: COMPATIBLE LAND USE POLICY LANGUAGE The City of Xxxxxx is located adjacent to the Lambert-St. Louis International Airport, and as such will continue to be impacted by aircraft noise and overflights. Noise-sensitive land uses, which include residential units, schools, religious facilities, libraries, hospitals, and nursing home facilities, may not be compatible with aircraft noise levels and airport operations. If new development is proposed within the City, it is recommended that techniques be employed in the siting and construction of noise-sensitive uses to assure that interior noise levels are within an acceptable range based upon the proximity of the property to Lambert s 2015 65 DNL noise exposure contour and/or aircraft flight tracks. [1] Within the boundary of the 65 DNL noise exposure contour, the FAA's development standard should be used to assure compatibility with aircraft noise. This standard, per 14 CFR Part 150 (Table 1), would require that where the community determines that residential or other noise-sensitive land uses must be allowed, measures to achieve outdoor to indoor Noise Level Reduction (NLR) of at least 25 db and 30 db should be incorporated into building codes and be considered prior to individual approvals. Normal residential construction can be expected to provide a NLR of 20 db, thus, the reduction requirements are often stated as 5, 10, or 15 db over standard construction and normally assume mechanical ventilation and closed windows year round. Outside of the 65 DNL noise exposure contour, the City should adopt a development standard to ensure the noise compatibility of all new development. It is also recommended that Disclosure Notices be provided to developers/builders and prospective property buyers to make them aware of the proximity of the property to the airport and the potential for elevated noise levels and aircraft overflights. [1] This compatible land use language was developed during the preparation of the 2010 Lambert-St. Louis International Airport Noise Compatibility Study (Part 150 Study). That study was prepared in accordance with 14 CFR Part 150 Airport Noise Compatibility Planning, which establishes a five-year planning period for the assessment of airport noise exposure levels. It is suggested that the City of Xxxxxx work together with St. Louis Airport Authority staff to be aware of changes in airport and aircraft operations that could affect changes in the noise exposure levels beyond the 2015 timeframe.
