CHAPTER 1INTRODUCTIONdevelopment actions. Finally, Chapter 4 provides background information on the <strong>Airport</strong>, includinginformation regarding its existing and planned facilities, existing and future conditions, and local agenciesaffected by this <strong>Compatibility</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> in the <strong>Airport</strong> environs.<strong>Use</strong> of this <strong>Compatibility</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> is not solely limited to the ALUC. As noted above, the compatibilitycriteria included in this <strong>Compatibility</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> must be used by local agencies during their preparation oramendment of general plans. The AIA at the <strong>Airport</strong> encompasses lands within the cities of San Diego,Chula Vista, Imperial Beach, National City and unincorporated areas of San Diego County. State lawrequires each local agency to modify its general plans to be consistent with this <strong>Compatibility</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> or totake special steps to overrule the ALUC. Furthermore, this <strong>Compatibility</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> applies not just to SanDiego County and the cities listed above, but to school districts, community college districts, specialdistricts, and other local agencies when these entities consider the siting and design of new facilities orexpansion of existing ones. Finally, private parties are subject to this <strong>Compatibility</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> either directly oras required in the general plans of San Diego County and the cities of San Diego, Chula Vista, ImperialBeach, and National City.This <strong>Compatibility</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> replaces the <strong>Brown</strong> <strong>Field</strong> <strong>Municipal</strong> <strong>Airport</strong> <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Use</strong> <strong>Compatibility</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>adopted on September 21, 1981 by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) when itserved as the San Diego County ALUC. The 1981 Comprehensive <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Use</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> was amended inOctober 2004 and renamed the <strong>Airport</strong> <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Use</strong> <strong>Compatibility</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> by the SDCRAA, which assumed theresponsibilities of the ALUC in January 2003.This <strong>Compatibility</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> is based on the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved <strong>Airport</strong> Layout<strong>Plan</strong> (ALP), as amended by the updated December 2007 airport diagram. The ALP was accepted forairport compatibility planning by the California Department of Transportation, Division of Aeronautics(Division of Aeronautics), in June 2008. The ALP and updated 2007 airport diagram reflect theanticipated growth of the <strong>Airport</strong> for at least the next 20 years and depict both existing and plannedfacilities at the <strong>Airport</strong>, including the airfield, runway protection zones, and the <strong>Airport</strong> propertyboundary. A copy of the Division of Aeronautics letter determining that the ALP and updated airportdiagram are appropriate and acceptable for preparing this <strong>Compatibility</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> for the <strong>Airport</strong> and theSDCRAA’s request for written acceptance of these documents are provided in Appendix I of this<strong>Compatibility</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>.
