March 2014. The City of Redwood City represents the largest stakeholder in terms of land area in that the City comprises approximately 75 percent of the area around the airport to the north, northeast, and southwest (referred to as the Airport Influence Area in Attachment 1). Most land uses within the Airport Influence Area consist of residential uses interspersed with light industrial and commercial development. Properties located within Area A are required to provide real estate disclosure, while properties located within Area B are required to provide real estate disclosure and require formal review by the Airport Land Use Commission for any new development proposed or significant expansion or modification of existing uses. State law requires local general plans and specific plans to be consistent with the land use compatibility policies of applicable ALUCPs. In the event that an ALUCP is amended, local agencies are required to amend their general or specific plans within 180 days to be consistent with the revised ALUCP (Government Code Section 65302.3). In the event that the local agency does not concur with a provision of the ALUCP, the public agency may override the Airport Land Use Commission by a two- thirds vote after first notifying the Airport Land Use Commission and Caltrans' Division of Aeronautics at least 45 days prior to the decision to overrule the Airport Land Use Commission, holding a public hearing, and making findings that the general plan of the local jurisdiction is consistent with the intent of State law. ANALYSIS The ALUCP update for the San Carlos Airport will address four primary land use compatibility concerns: 1. Aircraft Noise: Reduce the potential number of future residents in the airport environs exposed to excessive noise from aircraft and airport operations. 2. Safety of Persons on the Ground: Minimize the potential number of residents and workers exposed to hazards related to aircraft operations and accidents. 3. Airspace Protection/Building Heights: Protect the navigable airspace around the airport and ensure the safe and efficient operation of aircraft in flight. 4. Aircraft Overflights: Identify areas subjected to frequent aircraft overflights and/or low altitude overflights and require real estate disclosure notices.
