CHAPTER 2AIRPORT LAND USE COMMISSION POLICIES(3) The original long-term project approval(s) remain(s) in effect;(4) Final approval of the original long-term project(s) was (were) obtained not morethan fifteen (15) years prior to the effective date of this <strong>Compatibility</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>;(5) The project applicant has used reasonable good faith efforts in proceeding withthe original long-term project, including without limitation, processing any othergovernmental permits and approvals necessary to implement the originalapproval(s) (such as preparing and processing any subsequent or additionalCEQA documents or resource agency permits), preparing architectural orengineering plans, or constructing infrastructure for the original approval(s), suchas roadways, storm drains, parks, sewer, water or other utilities;(6) The local agency has approved a related implementing permit or action for theoriginal approval(s) within five (5) years prior to the effective date of this<strong>Compatibility</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> or the project applicant has an application on file that hasbeen deemed complete by the local agency for any related implementing permitor action as of the effective date of this <strong>Compatibility</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>; and(7) The original long-term project(s) has/have not changed in a substantive manner,as determined by the local agency or the ALUC (see Policy 2.10.4).2.4 TYPES OF AIRPORT IMPACTS2.4.1 Principal <strong>Compatibility</strong> Concerns: As established by state law (Pub. Util. Code, §21670), the ALUChas the responsibility both "to provide for the orderly development of airports" and "to preventthe creation of new noise and safety problems." ALUC policies thus have the dual objective ofprotecting against constraints on airport expansion and operations that can result fromencroachment of incompatible land uses and minimizing the public's exposure to excessivenoise and safety hazards.(a) In order to meet these objectives, this <strong>Compatibility</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> addresses potential <strong>Airport</strong>compatibility impacts related to four specific airport-related factors/layers:(1) Noise—Exposure to aircraft noise;(2) Safety—<strong>Land</strong> use factors that affect safety both for people on the ground andthe occupants of aircraft;(3) Airspace Protection—Protection of <strong>Airport</strong> airspace; and(4) Overflight—Annoyance and other general concerns related to aircraftoverflights.(b) <strong>Compatibility</strong> policies concerning each of these factors/layers are enumerated inChapter 3. Each factor/layer is addressed separately. Proposed land use developmentactions must comply with the compatibility policies and maps for each compatibilityfactor/layer, as well as all policies in this chapter.2.4.2 Policy Objectives: For each compatibility factor/layer, specific policy objectives are as follows:(a) Noise: The purpose of noise compatibility policies is to avoid establishment of newsensitive land uses and exposure of the users to levels of aircraft noise that can disrupt theactivities involved. The characteristics of the <strong>Airport</strong> and the surrounding communityare taken into account in determining the level of noise deemed acceptable for eachtype of land use.2–8 <strong>MCAS</strong> <strong>Miramar</strong> <strong>Airport</strong> <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Use</strong> <strong>Compatibility</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> (Adopted October 2008 Amended December 2010)
