vi. The project is located outside of the JWA single event noise exposure areas documented in the JWA General Aviation Improvement Program EIR certified on June 25, 2019. The project developer presented this information to the ALUC Commission at its hearing on May 21, 2020. vii. ALUC Commissioners Monin and Murphy asked for but did not receive evidence of general aviation aircraft using Runway 2R/20L would "be turning right in front of the site." In fact, the GA aircraft pattern and voluntary noise abatement procedures for Runway 2R/20L operate within one to two miles from the end of the runway north of the airport and on a 15-degree offset from the extended runway centerline to avoid airspace conflicts with aircraft arriving Runway 20R. This location places GA aircraft south of Barranca Parkway and aligned with the Tustin Legacy property southeast of the Project site. These regular GA aircraft flight tracks are substantiated in the presentation by JWA staff on April 6, 2019 at a Town Hall meeting about the GAIP. g. Heliports. Heliports are not a part of the Project. h. Zone Change and General Plan Amendment. The proposed zone change, and General Plan Amendment are consistent with the objective AELUP aircraft noise, safety and height standards and are therefore consistent with the larger planning role of the ALUC. "Close to the JWA approach centerline" is not an FAA or an ALUC standard. ALUC offers no substantiation that overflights of new residents would be disturbed or annoyed. On the contrary, the ALUC demonstrates that the Project is located outside of the 60 dBA CNEL noise contour. As such, the Project would not add any new residential or commercial noise impacts to the JWA 65 dBA Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) noise area. ii. Flight tracks for one day of arrivals and one day of departures are not unique and are fully accounted for in the one year of overflights used to measure CNEL noise impacts associated with JWA. Flight tracks for one day of arrivals and one day of departures are not unique and are fully accounted for in the single -event noise contours produced for the JWA GAIP EIR. The Project is located outside of these single -event noise contours. iv. The JWA comments on the Project conflict with its own noise analysis contained in the GAIP EIR. The ALUC staff report states, 'Because of the project location within the primary approach corridor and its proximity to JWA (2.25 miles), JWA stated it is not Resolution No. 2020-067 Page 10 of 13 60A-13
