Subject: Museum House Residential Project NOP of DEIR
Dear Mr. Ramirez:
Thank you for the opportunity to review the initial for the proposed Museum House
Residential Project in the context of the Airport Land Use Commission's (ALUC) Airport
Environs Land Use Plan (AELUP) for John Wayne Abport (JWA). The proposed project
consists of the demolition of the existing Orange County Museum of Art building to
accommodate the development of a 26-story 100-unit residential condominium tower
with two levels of subterranean parking located at 850 San Clemente Drive in Newport
Center.
The proposed project is located outside of the 60 dBA and 65 dBA CNEL noise contours
for JW A and would not be subject to any special noise reduction requirements.
The proposed project is located within the Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 77
Notification Area for JWA. The initial study states that the proposed maximum height
for the residential tower is 295 feet with an additional 20 feet for rooftop equipment. We
recommend that the project proponent utilize the Notice Criteria Tool on the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) website https: ocaaa.faa.gov/oeaaalexternal/portal.jsp to
determine if the proposed project penetrates the notification surface and requires filing
Form 7460-1 Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration with the FAA. The results
from the Notice Criteria Tool should be included in the DEIR. Additionally, ifthe
project requires Form 7460-1 tiling, the resulting FAA airspace determination should be
included in the project submittal package to ALUC.
The proposed project is also located within the Transitional Obstruction Imaginary
Surfaces for JW A. We recommend that the DEIR discuss what the maximum height will
be for the site since a General Plan Amendment and a Planned Community Development
Plan Amendment is required from the City ofNewport Beach.

J\ referral by the City to the ALUC may be required for this project due to the location of
the proposal within an AELUP Planning Area and due to the nature of the required City
approvals (i.e. General Plan Amendment and Planned Community Development Plan
Amendment) under PUC Section 21676(b ). In this regard, please note that the
Commission wants such referrals to be submitted and agendized by the ALUC staff
between the Local Agency's expected Planning Commission and City Council hearings.
Since the ALUC meets on the third Thursday afternoon of each month, submittals must
be received in the ALU C office by the first of the month to ensure sufficient time for
review. analysis, and agendizing.
Thank you again for the opportunity to comment on the initial study. Please contact Lea

Rosalinh Ung, Associate Planner
City of Newport Beach Planning Division
100 Civic Center Drive
Newport Beach, CA 92660, CA 92628
Subject: The Residences at Newport Place
Dear Ms. Ung:
Thank you for the opportunity to review the initial study for the Residences at Newport
Place Project in the context of the Airport Land Use Commission's (ALUC's) Airport
Environs Land Use Plan for John Wayne Airport (JWA AELUP). The proposed project
includes demolition of an existing shopping center to accommodate the development of a
mixed-use residential development located at 1701 Corinthian Way.
The proposed project is within the Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 77 Imaginary
Surfaces obstruction area for JWA and is in the FAR Part 77 Notification Area for JWA
as noted in the initial study. As stated in the initial study, the proposed project received a
Determination ofNo Hazard to Air Navigation from the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) on November 25,2014 and includes the Newport Beach Zoning Code Policy
stating that the proposed project shall not penetrate FAR Part 77 Obstruction Imaginary
Surfaces for JWA unless approved by the ALUC. We appreciate that the Draft Mitigated
Negative Declaration (MND) addresses these imaginary surfaces given the close
proximity of the proposed project to JWA (approximately 1,000 feet from JWA).
The initial study states that the proposed project would not exceed 83 feet in height. The
proposed project site is located within the horizontal surface for JW A. The Airport Land
Use Commission continues to recommend that buildings be kept to a height not greater
than 206 feet [using North American Vertical Datum 1988 (NAVD88)] and has strongly
discouraged buildings in the vicinity of JW A that penetrate this imaginary horizontal
surface. The MND discusses maximum building heights and ground elevation and states
that the proposed project will remain below the imaginary surfaces for JW A. However,
we recommend that the Draft MND also include discussion ofthe City's maximum
allowable building height for the proposed project area as permitted through the City's
General Plan or Zoning Code.
The proposed project falls within the 60 dbA CNEL noise contour for JW A. Per the
AELUP for JWA, residential development located within the 60 dBA CNEL noise
contour should be sound attenuated to ensure that the interior CNEL does not exceed 45
ALUC Comments Residences at Ne\\ port Place
2/22/16
Page 2
dB. The initial study states that the proposed project will meet this criteria and the
applicant will be required to submit an acoustical report showing that the noise level will
be achieved prior to the issuance of a building permit.
The proposed project has been designed to include several recreational amenities such as
open space areas. courtyard gardens and children"s play areas. Per the JWA AELUP, we
recommend that designated outdoor common or recreational areas within the 60 dB
CNEL noise contour provide outdoor signage informing the public of the presence of
operating aircraft.
Because of the project" s proximity to a noise impacted area, any prospective resident
should be notified of the presence of aircraft overflight. The initial study does state, and
we concur, that any residential development in the JWA airport influence area would be
notified of potential aircraft overflight as follows:
··NOTICE OF AIRPORT IN VICINITY:
This property is presently located in the vicinity of an airport, ·within what is kno·wn as an
airport influence area. For that reason, the property may be subject to some of the
annoyances or inconveniences associated -..vith proximity to airport operations (for
example: noise, vibration or odor.\). Individual sensitivities to those annoyances can
vwy.fi·um person to person. You may wish to consider what airport annoyances, if any,
are associated with the property before you complete your purchase and determine
whether they are acceptable to you."
In addition, the Draft MND should identify 1) if the project will be impacted by
helicopter overflight due to the close proximity of helicopter arrival and departure
OP.erations at JWA, and 2) if the project allows for heliports as defined in the Orange
County AELUP.for Heliports. Should the development of heliports occur within your
jurisdiction, proposals to develop new heliports must be submitted through the City to the
ALUC for review and action pursuant to Public Utilities Code Section 21661.5.
Proposed heliport projects must comply fully with the state permit procedure provided by
law and with all conditions of approval imposed or recommended by FAA, by the ALUC
for Orange County and by Caltrans/Division of Aeronautics.
Thank you again for the opportunity to comment on the initial study. Please contact Lea
Choum at (949) 252-5123 or via email at [email protected] should you have any
questions related to the ALUC for Orange County .

Subject: NOP of DEIR for 150 Newport Center Residential Project
Dear Ms. Nova:
Thank you for the opportunity to review the Notice of Preparation (NOP) of an
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the proposed 150 Newport Center Project. The
proposed project is not located within the Airport Planning Area for John Wayne Airport
(JWA). Therefore, the Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) for Orange County has
no comment on the NOP related to land use, noise or safety compatibility with the
Airport Environs Land Use Plan (AELUP)jorJWA.
Although the proposed development is located outside of the Airport Planning Area,
please be aware that development proposals which include the construction or alteration
of a structure more than 200 feet above ground level, require filing with the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA). Structures meeting this threshold must comply with
procedures provided by Federal and State law, with the referral requirements of ALUC,
and with all conditions of approval imposed or recommended by the FAA and ALUC
including filing a Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration (FAA Form 7460-1 ).
We recommend you utilize the FAA notice criteria tool on the FAA website at
https :l/oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external/portal.jsp to determine if a Notice of Proposed
Construction or Alteration would be required for your project.
The proposed project does not include the development of heliports or helistops. For
your information, should the development of heliports occur within your jurisdiction,
proposals to develop new heliports must be submitted through the City to the ALUC for
review and action pursuant to Public Utilities Code Section 21661.5. Proposed heliport
projects must comply fully with the state permit procedure provided by law and with all
conditions of approval imposed or recommended by FAA, by the ALUC for Orange
County and by Caltrans/Division of Aeronautics.

Ms. Sonia Carvalho, City Attorney
City of Santa Ana
20 Civic Center Plaza
P.O. Box 1988
Santa Ana, CA 92702
SUBJECT: City of Santa Ana - Proposed Overrule Action on the proposed Heritage Project
Dear Ms. Carvalho:
The Airport Land Use Commission for Orange County (ALUC) is in receipt of your Jetter dated
December 16, 2015 and City Council Resolution No. 20 15-XXX containing proposed overrule
findings for the above-referenced project located at 2001 East Dyer Road. Regarding the subject
Proposed City Overrule Action, the ALUC provides the following comments.
Please be advised that California Public Utilities Code Section 21678 states: "With respect to a
publicly owned airport that a public agency does not operate, if the public agency pursuant to
Section 21676, 21676.5 or 21677 overrules a commission's action or recommendation, the
operator of the airport shall be immune from liability for damages to property or personal injury
caused by or resulting directly or indirectly from the public agency's decision to overrule the
commission's adion or recommendation."
On October 15, 2015, the ALUC found the proposed Heritage Project to be inconsistent with the
Airport Environs Land Use Plan (AELUP) for John Wayne Airport (JWA) with a vote of 5 to 1 in
accordance with AELUP Sections 1.2 and 2.1.4, and PUC Section 21674 which state that the
commission is charged by PUC Section 2167 4( a) "to assist local agencies in ensuring compatible
land uses in the vicinity of ... existing airports to the extent that the land in the vicinity of those
airports is not already devoted to incompatible uses," and PUC Section 21674(b) "to coordinate
planning at the state, regional and local levels so as to provide for the orderly development of air
transportation, while at the same time protecting the public health, safety and welfare."
The Findings Section (A) of the City's resolution on page 3 states that the City Council of the
City of Santa Ana hereby finds and determines that the propqsed project does not create new
nois9 and safety issues and, thus, meets the purposes of Publif Utilities Code Section 21670 (a).
It is important to note that by changing the site's General Plan designation from Professional and
Administrative Office (PAO) to District Center (DC), new residential uses would now be
ALUC Heritage Overrule Response
January 15, 2016
Page 2
allowed in an area that has historically been only office and industrial uses. The proposed
Heritage project would now be placing residential uses directly under the aircraft approach
corridor for JWA, subjecting residents to overflight of both commercial and general aviation
aircraft (See Attachment 1).
The Findings Section (D) of the City's resolution on page 4 discusses that the proposed Heritage
Project is not located within the John Wayne Airport ("JWA") 60 or 65 dBA Cumulative (Please
note this should be Community not Cumulative) Noise Equivalent Level ("CNEL") noise
contours indicating areas of significant noise impact as set forth in the JW A Master Plan. The
City's resolution Findings Section (E) goes on to state that the proposed Heritage Project is not
within the safety zone areas for JW A within which limitations on development and occupancy
apply to protect surrounding occupants from adverse airport impacts. Although the proposed
project is not within the 60 and 65 CNEL noise contours and is located outside the safety zones
for JW A, the proposed Heritage Project is located under the aircraft approach centerline for
JW A. and residential uses in this area would not coexist well with constant overflight of aircraft.
On October 8. 2015 JW A provided the City of Santa Ana Planning Commission with flight track
exhibits showing flight tracks over the proposed project site (see Attachments 2 and 3). ALUC
staff also presented the same flight track information at the October 15, 2015 ALUC meeting.
Attachment 2 shows a day's worth of normal aircraft arrival operations and has a corresponding
table listing each flight, the time of day and elevation above the proposed project site. The table
shows that the majority of flights over the property are in range of 500 to 700 feet above ground
level and arrive in very close intervals. (This is also graphically depicted in Attachment 4 which
is an exhibit from County ofOrange/JWA Final EIR 617.) As an example, the table shows
aircraft arrivals from 9:00a.m. to 10:00 a.m. when aircraft flew over the property, on average,
every 3.7 minutes with the longest interval being 8 minutes between flights and the shortest
being I minute. In the 8:00p.m. to I 0:30p.m. timeframe on the same day, planes flew over the
property, on average, every 5.2 minutes, with the longest interval between flights being 22
minutes and the shortest interval being 1 minute.
Attachment 3 has also been included for your information and shows a day's worth of reverse
!low departure flight tracks. The reverse departure flow occurs approximately 5% of the time,
primarily due to weather factors. During reverse flow circumstances, departing aircraft may be
higher in altitude, but louder over the project area. Based upon these aircraft arrival, departure
and altitude statistics, future residents ofthe proposed Heritage Project will experience
significant aircraft overflight and single event noise.
It has been the ALUC's experience that residential uses located under aircraft approach and
departure corridors generate a significant number of noise complaints from the affected
residents. The City should give consideration as to how these noise complaints will be addressed
should the City Council overmle the ALUC and approve the proposed project. Because of the
frequency of the overflights, the ALUC does not agree with Finding Section (F) ofthe City's
draft resolution stating that the aircraft overflights rill be mitigated by the existing curfew at
JWA .

Also, please be advised that California Business & Professions Code Section 11010 requires the
following statement to be included on sale/lease disclosure documents for developments within
an ALUC's "Airport Influence Area:"
"NOTICE OF AIRPORT IN VICINITY
This property is presently located in the vicinity of an airport, within what is known as an
airport influence area. For that reason, the property may be subject to some of the
annoyances or inconveniences associated with proximity to airport operations (For
example: noise, vibration, or odors). Individual sensitivities to those annoyances can
vary from person to person. You may wish to consider what airport annoyances, if any,
are associated \Vith the property before you complete your purchase and determine
whether they are acceptable to you."
Regarding the proposed residential component of the project, please refer to Attachment 5,
which shows existing residential land uses in the project area. Note that the land uses on both
sides of Red Hill A venue from the JW A area northward to beyond the project site are comprised
of non-residential uses. Such non-residential uses are clearly more compatible than residential
uses under the JW A aircraft approach corridor.
As stated in the JWA AELUP, the ALUC has the responsibility to consider the broader
perspective in matters affecting the public's well being and the viability of public aviation
facilities . The ALUC accomplishes these overall goals by applying its discretion to evaluate
individual projects based upon a wide range of facts and factors gathered through public
testimony and Commissioners' knowledge, in addition to informative analysis provided by staff.
By virtue of being clearly stated in JWA AELUP Sections 1.2 '·Purpose and Scope" and 2.0
.. Planning Guidelines,'' every Commissioner understanqs the complex legal charge to protect the
public airport environs from encroachment by incompatible land use development, while
simultaneously protecting the health, safety and welfare of citizens who work and live in the
airpo11's environs. To this end, and as also statutorily required, our ALUC proceedings are
benetited by several members ' ·having expertise in aviation." Based upon our careful
consideration of all information provided, and input from our members with expertise in
aviation, a majority of the ALUC found the proposed Heritage Project to be inconsistent with the
JWA AELUP.
We urge the City Council of the City of Santa Ana to take all these matters into consideration in
their deliberations prior to deciding whether to overrule the ALUC. Thank you for the
opportunity to provide these comments.
Sincerely,
.

Dear Ms. Vazquez:
Thank you for the oppm1unity to review the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the
proposed Olson Manchester Townhomes. The proposed project is not located within the Noise
Impact Zones, Clear Zone, OL)-feight Restriction Zone for Fullerton Municipal Airport (FMA) or
Joint Forces Training Base Los Alamitos. Therefore, the Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC)
for Orange County has no comment on the MND related to land use, noise or safety compatibility
with the Ailport Environs Land Use Plan (AELUP) for FMA or Joint Forces Training Base, Los
Alamitos.
Although the proposed development i~ ).P~ated outside of the ~irport Plann~ng Areas, please be

Art Bashmakian, Planning Manager
City of Westminster
8200 Westminster Boulevard
Westminster, CA 92683
Subject: NOP of DEIR for the City of Westminster General Plan Update
Dear Mr. Bashmakian:
Thank you for the opportunity to review the Notice of Preparation (NOP) for the City of
Westminster General Plan pdate in the context of the Airport Environs Land Use Plan
(AELUP) for Joint Forces Training Base (JFTB), Los Alamitos. We wish to offer the following
comments and respectfully request consideration of these comments as you proceed with your
DEIR and General Plan (GP) Update.
The City of Westminster is located within the AELUP Notification Area for JFTB, Los
Alamitos. The DEIR and GP should address height restrictions and imaginary surfaces by
discussing Federal Aviation Administration (FM) Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 77
as the criteria for determining height restrictions for projects located within the airport planning
area. To ensure the safe operation of ai craft at JFTB, Los Alamitos, structures any here in the
airport planning area should not exceed the applicable elevations defined in FAR P~rt 77
(Objects Affecting Navigable Air Space). As noted in the initial study, the City of Westminster's
building height limits are in the City's zoning gode, not the General Plan. We recommend the
General Plan include height policy language and a mitigation measure in the EIR that states that
no buildings will be allowed to penetrate the FAR Part 77 imaginary surfaces for JFTB, Los
Alamitos to ensure the protection of its airspace.
Also, with respect to building heights, development proposals within the City, which include the
construction or alteration of structures more than 200 feet above ground level, require filing with
the FAA and Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) notification. Projects meeting this
threshold must comply with procedures provided by Federal and State law, and with all
conditions of approval imposed or recommended by FAA and ALUC including filing a Notice of
Proposed Construction or Alteration (FAA Form 7460-1). Depending on the maximum building
heights that will be allowed within the General Plan, the City may wish to consider a mitigation
and condition of approval specifying this 200 feet above ground level height threshold. In
addition, an~ project that penetrates the Notification Surface for JFTS, Los Alamitos is required
to file FAA Form 7460-1.
ALUC Comm~nls- NOP Westmmst.:r GP Update
January 14.2016
Page 2
No portions ofthe City of Westminster fall within the 60 or 65 dBA CNEL noise contours for
JFTB, Los Alamitos. However, we agree with the discussion in the initial study stating that the
proposed project is within the AELUP area for JFTB, Los Alamitos and that future development
in accordance with the General Plan Update would increase or intensify development in that
area. Therefore, buildout of the proposed project would potentially expose residents or workers
in the project area to excessive noise levels related to aircraft movement and will be further
discussed in the EIR. This is important to note since the GP Update will be designating the
current Planned Development (PO) designation to mixed-use.
We also recommend that the DEIR and the GP Update identify ifthe development of heliports is
allowed within your jurisdiction. Should the development of heliports occur within your
jurisdiction, proposals to develop new heliports may be submitted through the City to the ALUC
for review and action pursuant to Public Utilities Code Section 21661.5. Proposed heliport
projects must comply fully with the state permit procedure provided by law and with all
conditions of approval imposed or recommended by FAA, by the ALUC for Orange County and
by Caltrans/Division of Aeronautics.
To address consistency with the AELUP for Heliports we suggest adding the following language
to your GP Update and inclusion as a mitigation measure in the EIR:
.. The City will ensure that development proposals including the construction or operation
of a heliport or helistop comply fully with permit procedures under State law, including
referral of the project to the ALUC by the applicant, and with all conditions of approval
imposed or recommended by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), ALUC, and
Cal trans, including the filing of a Form 7480-1 (Notice of Landing Area Proposal) with
the FAA. This requirement shall be in addition to all other City development
requirements."
Section 21676(b) of the PUC requires that prior to the amendment of a general plan or specific
plan, or the adoption or approval of a zoning ordinance or building regulation within the
planning boundary established by the Airport Land Use Commission pursuant to Section 21675,
the local agency shall first refer the proposed action to the ALUC. To ensure land use
compatibility with JFTB, Los Alamitos, we recommend that the City include policy in its
General Plan and a mitigation measure in the EIR, that states that the City shall refer projects to
the Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) for Orange County as required by Section 21676 of
the California Public Utilities Code to determine consistency of projects with the AELUP for
.JFTB. Los Alamitos.
With respect to project submittals, please note that the Commission wants such referrals to be
submitted to the ALUC for a determination, between the Local Agency's expected Planning
Commission and City Council hearings. Since the ALUC meets on the third Thursday afternoon
of each month, submittals must be received in the ALUC office by the first of the month to
ensure sufti.cient time for review, analysis, and agendizing.

Subject: NOP of DEIR for the City of &osta Mesa General Plan Amendment
Dear Ms. Flynn:
Thank you for the opportunity to review the Notice of Preparation (NOP) for the City of Costa
Mesa General Plan Amendment in the context of the Airport Environs Land Use Plan (AELUP)
for John Wayne Airport (JWA). We wish to offer the following comments and respectfully
request consideration of these comments as you proceed with your DEIR and General Plan (GP)
Amendment.
The City of Costa Mesa is located within the AELUP Notifioation Area for JW A. llhe DEIR and
GP should addn~ss height restrictions and imaginary surfaces by discussing Federal Aviation
Administration qF AA) Federal Aviation egulation (FAR) Part 77 as the criteria for determining
height restrictions for projects located within the airport planning area. To ensure the safe
operation of aircr:;ffl activity at JW A, structures anywhere in the JW A airport planning area
should not exceed the ap Iicable elevations (iefined in FAR Part 77 ( bjects Affecting
Navigable Air Space). The General Plan should includ~height policy language and a mitigation
measure in the EIR tbat states that no buildings will be allowed to penetrate the FAR Part 77
imaginary surfaces for JWA to en·sure the protection of its airspace.
Also with respect to building heights, development proposals within the City, which include the
construction or alteration of structures more than 200 feet above ground level, require filing with
the FAA and Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) notification. Projects meeting this
threshold must comply with procedures provided by Federal and State law, and with all
conditions of approval imposed or recommended by FAA and ALUC including filing a Notice of
Proposed Construction or Alteration (FAA Form 7460-1). Depending on the maximum building
heights that will be allowed within the General Plan, the City may wish to consider a mitigation
and condition of approval specifying this 200 feet above ground level height threshold. In
addition, any project that penetrates the Notification Surface for JW A is required to file FAA
Form 7460-1.

NOP Costa Mesa GP Update
15. 2015
Page 1
Portions of the City of Costa Mesa fall within the 60 and 65 dB( A) CNEL noise contours for
JWA. The DEIR and GP Update should include policies and mitigations for development within
these contours, especially if residential development is permitted. Per the AELUP for JWA, all
residential units within the 65 db CNEL contour are typically inconsistent in this area unless it
can be shown conclusively that such units are sufficiently sound attenuated for present and
projected noise exposure so as not to exceed an interior standard of 45 dB CNEL. However, the
ALUC recommends that residential uses not be permitted within the 65 dB CNEL contour. As
for residential development within the 60 db CNEL contour, the ALUC may not find residential
units incompatible in this area, but would strongly recommend that residential units be limited or
excluded from this area unless sufficiently sound attenuated not to exceed an interior level of 45
dB.
We also recommend that the DEIR and the GP Update identify if the development of heliports is
allowed within your jurisdiction. Should the development of heliports occur within your
jurisdiction, proposals to develop new heliports may be submitted through the City to the ALUC
for review and action pursuant to Public Utilities Code Section 21661.5 . Proposed heliport
projects must comply fully with the state permit procedure provided by law and with all
conditions of approval imposed or recommended by FAA, by the ALUC for Orange County and
by Caltrans/Division of Aeronautics.
To address consistency with the AELUP for Heliports we suggest adding the following language
to your GP Update and inclusion as a mitigation measure in the EIR:
"The City will ensure that development proposals including the construction or operation
of a heliport or helistop comply fully with permit procedures under State law, including
refeiTal of the project to the ALUC by the applicant, and with all conditions of approval
imposed or recommended by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), ALUC, and
Cal trans, including the filing of a Form 7480-1 (Notice of Landing Area Proposal) with
the FAA. This requirement shall be in addition to all other City development
requirements."
Section 21676(b) of the PUC requires that prior to the amendment of a general plan or specific
plan, or the adoption or approval of a zoning ordinance or building regulation within the
planning boundary established by the Airport Land Use Commission pursuant to Section 21675,
the local age~cy shall first refer the proposed action to the ALUC. To ensure land use
compatibility with JWA, we recommend that the City include policy in its General Plan and a
mitigation measure in the EIR, that states that the City shall refer projects to the Airport Land
Use Commission (ALUC) for Orange County as required by Section 21676 of the California
Public Utilities Code to determine consistency of projects with the AELUP for JWA.
With respect to project submittals, please note that the Commission wants such refeiTals to be
submitted to the ALUC for a determination, between the Local Agency's expected Planning
Commission and City Council hearings. Since th~ ALUC meets on the third Thursday afternoon
of each month, submittals must be received in the ALUC office by the first of the month to
ensure sufficient time for review, analysis, and agendizing.
