In accordance with guidance provided in the Handbook, thisconcept should be limited to airports located in urban locations and used predominantly by smallaircraft. In these circumstances, consideration may be given to allowing additional intensity,beyond the maximum intensity limits (calculated as people per acre on a sitewide average)provided at the top of Table III-2, in buildings that incorporate special risk reduction policyobjectives. This policy is not applicable to conditionally compatible uses in Safety Zone 1 or toconditionally compatible uses in Safety Zone 2 indicated with an “A” in Table III-2.

A corresponding increase in FAR is alsoallowed:• Within Safety Zone 2: up to 105 people per acre• Within Safety Zone 3: up to 260 people per acre• Within Safety Zone 4: up to 260 people per acre• Within Safety Zone 5: up to 400 people per acre(b) To qualify for the maximum usage intensities described in paragraph (a) above, an applicantshall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the responsible local agency that the building hasbeen designed to minimize risk and increase the safety of building occupants beyond theminimum requirements of the California Building Code.
