SAN DIEGO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT – PROPOSED RUNWAY 9 DISPLACED THRESHOLD The District will ensure physical access to the Bay except as necessary to provide for the safety and security, or to avoid interference with waterfront activities. The proposed displaced threshold relocation would occur on the existing runway, on a previously developed area that is not used as a Bay access point. The relocation of runway lights and navigational aids would occur at existing lighting locations off-Airport; specifically, the MALSR stations in the Navy Boat Channel would remain in the exact same location, although the equipment mounted on these stations may change. Therefore, the Proposed Action would be consistent with the PMP goal to ensure physical access to the Bay except as necessary to provide for the safety and security or to avoid interference with waterfront activities. The quality of water in San Diego Bay will be maintained at such a level as will permit human water contact activities. The Proposed Action would not result in significant water quality impacts (see Section 4.6, Water Quality). Therefore, the Proposed Action would be consistent with the PMP goal to maintain San Diego Bay water quality at such a level as will permit human water-contact activities. The District will protect, preserve, and enhance natural resources, including natural plant and animal life in the Bay, as a desirable amenity, an ecological necessity, and a valuable and usable resource. The proposed displaced threshold relocation would be located on a previously developed area and the relocation of runway lights and navigational aids off-Airport would occur at existing lighting locations and result in the removal of the two lighting stations farthest from the runway end, reducing off-Airport effects. These actions would not significantly impact any biological resources (see Section 4.10, Fish, Wildlife, and Plants). Therefore, the Proposed Action would be consistent with the PMP goal to protect, preserve, and enhance natural resources, including natural plant and animal life in the Bay as a desirable amenity, an ecological necessity, and a valuable and usable resource. The above review demonstrates the consistencies of the Proposed Action with many of the PMP goals and policies. As such, the impacts of the Proposed Action related to the goals and policy of the PMP would not be significant. City of San Diego Land Use Plans and Policies This section discusses the compatibility of the Proposed Action with the City of San Diego Land Use Plans and Policies. More specifically the City’s General Plans, Community and Precise Plans, and Redevelopment Plans were reviewed. City of San Diego General Plan The proposed improvements would be located on Airport property or at existing navigational aid and lighting locations. These improvements consist of relocating the Runway 9 displaced threshold 300 feet from the existing displaced threshold and relocation of associated navigational equipment and lighting aids. Current and historic land uses of the land in the Proposed Action area would continue as they are today. Environmental Consequences [4-10] Draft EA
SAN DIEGO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT – PROPOSED RUNWAY 9 DISPLACED THRESHOLD The proposed improvements off-Airport would consist of the changing of navigational equipment and runway lights at existing lighting locations and result in the removal of the two lighting stations farthest from the runway end, reducing off-Airport effects. As such, there would be no disruption or division of the established communities. Therefore, the Proposed Action would not cause offsite disruption impacts to the City of San Diego or its communities. There would be no significant change in the noise contours to the surrounding communities of the general plan based on the Proposed Action. As a result there would be no significant impacts to these communities related to noise (see Section 4.1, Noise). Naval Training Center (NTC) Precise Plan Two existing light stations of the Runway 9 MALSR are located in NTC Park on former NTC land, part of the Liberty Station mixed-use development. These last two light stations are sequenced flashers on the extended runway centerline. These would be relocated eastwards due to the relocation of the displaced threshold, resulting in the elimination of these light stations from NTC Park. As a result, the Proposed Action would improve conditions at NTC Park and be consistent with the NTC Precise Plan. City of San Diego Redevelopment Plans This section discusses the compatibility of the Proposed Action with the City of San Diego Redevelopment Plans and Policies. North Bay Redevelopment Plan The North Bay Redevelopment Plan is not consistent with the adopted ALUCP. However, the Proposed Action does not cause the inconsistency with the ALUCP. NTC Redevelopment/Re-use Plan Two existing light stations of the Runway 9 MALSR are located in NTC Park on former NTC land, part of the Liberty Station mixed-use development. These last two light stations are sequenced flashers on the extended runway centerline. These would be relocated eastwards due to the relocation of the displaced threshold, resulting in the elimination of these light stations from NTC Park. As a result, the Proposed Action would improve conditions at NTC Park and be consistent with the NTC Redevelopment/Re-use Plan. City of San Diego Airport Plans and Policies This section discusses the compatibility of the Proposed Action with the City of San Diego Airport Plans and Policies. City of San Diego Airport Approach Overlay Zone The proposed improvements would not involve the construction of buildings or structures. As such, the Proposed Action would not have a significant land use impact. Draft EA Environmental Consequences [4-11]
