Thecomposition of each area is determined as follows:• Review Area 1 consists of locations where noise or safety concerns may necessitate limitations onthe types of land use actions. Specifically, Review Area 1 encompasses locations exposed to aircraftnoise levels of 60 dB CNEL or greater together with all of the safety zones depicted on the associatedmaps in this chapter.• Review Area 2 consists of locations beyond Review Area 1 but within the airspace protection and/oroverflight notification areas depicted on Exhibits III-3 and III-4 in this chapter. Limits on theheights of structures, particularly in areas of high terrain, are the only restrictions on land uses withinReview Area 2. The recordation of overflight notification documents is also required in locationswithin Review Area 2.The boundaries of the AIA are shown on Exhibit III-6. The boundary of Review Area 1 of the AIAencompasses land within the City of San Diego, the City of Chula Vista, and unincorporated San DiegoCounty.
