Maximum Compatible Building Height. The maximum height of a new buildings/structures must be the lower of (1) the height of the controlling airspace protection surface shown on Exhibit 4-4 of the ALUCP, or (2) the maximum height determined not to be a “hazard to air navigation” by the FAA in an aeronautical study prepared pursuant to the filing of Form 7460-1. 3. Other Flight Hazards. Within Airport Influence Area (AIA) B, certain land use characteristics are recognized as hazards to air navigation and, per ALUCP Airspace Protection Policy 6 - Other Flight Hazards are Incompatible, need to be evaluated to ensure compatibility with FAA rules and regulations. These characteristics include the following: a. Sources of glare, such as highly reflective buildings, building features, or blight lights including search lights, or laser displays, which would interfere with the vision of pilots in making approaches to San Carlos Airport. b. Distracting lights that could be mistaken by pilots on approach to San Carlos Airport for airport identification lightings, runway edge lighting, runway end identification lighting, or runway approach lighting. c. Sources of dust, smoke, water vapor, or steam that may impair the vision of pilots making approaches to San Carlos Airport. d. Sources of steam or other emissions that may cause thermal plumes or other forms of unstable air that generate turbulence within the flight path. e. Sources of electrical interference with aircraft or air traffic control communications or navigation equipment, including radar. f. Features that create an increased attraction for wildlife as identified in FAA rules, regulations, and guidelines including, but not limited to, FAA Order 5200.5A, Waste Disposal Sites On or Near Airports, and Advisory Circular 150/5200-33B, Hazardous Wildlife Attractants On or Near Airports. Land uses with the possibility of attracting hazardous wildlife include landfills and certain recreational or agricultural uses that attract 48 through large flocks of birds. Exceptions to this policy are acceptable for wetlands or other environmental mitigation projects required by ordinance, statute, court order, or Record of Decision issued by a federal agency under the National Environmental Policy Act.
