e. Consistent with the JWA AELUP, the General Plan Update states, as Policy N- <br />3.3, that it shall be City policy to "[rjequire all residential land uses in 60 dB(A) <br />CNEL or 65 dB(A) CNEL Noise Contours to be sufficiently mitigated so as not to <br />exceed an interior standard of 45 Db(A) CNEL." <br />f. Based on the foregoing, the Project will not result in the exposure of City <br />residents to excess noise within the meaning of PUC Section 21670. <br />2. Safety. The residential and commercial land uses under the proposed project are <br />consistent with the safety standards of the JWA AELUP. <br />a. Section 2.1.2 of the JWA AELUP describes the airport's safety compatibility <br />zones. <br />(1) Per Section 2.1.2 of the JWA AELUP, "Safety and compatibility zones depict <br />which land uses are acceptable and which are unacceptable in various <br />portions of airport environs." <br />(2) The purpose of these zones, per the JWA AELUP, is to "support the <br />continued use and operation of an airport by establishing compatibility and <br />safety standards to promote air navigational safety and to reduce potential <br />safety hazards for persons living, working or recreating near JWA." <br />b. The JWA AELUP identifies the following Safety Zones: <br />(1) Zone 1: Runway Protection Zone <br />(2) Zone 2: Inner Approach/Departure <br />(3) Zone 3: Inner Turning Zone <br />(4) Zone 4: Outer Approach/Departure Zone <br />(5) Zone 5: Sideline Zone <br />(6) Zone 6: Traffic Pattern Zone <br />c. The Project is not in the JWA runway protection zones (RPZ). <br />d. None of the Project Focus Areas are in any of the JWA AELUP safety zones. <br />JWA AELUP Safety Zone 6 overlays a small portion of the City south of <br />MacArthur Boulevard, however the Project does not propose any change in land <br />use or zoning in this area. <br />e. The ALUC Staff Report states that "The proposed changes in Land Use in the <br />55/Dyer Focus Area would result in 9,952 total residential units within the flight <br />corridor for John Wayne Airport subjecting future residents to noise and safety <br />issues." <br />(1) As noted above and in Section 2.1.2 and Appendix D of the JWA AELUP, the <br />"flight corridor for John Wayne Airport" is not an identified Safety Zone for <br />JWA. Nor is a "flight corridor" a defined, restrictive term in the JWA AELUP, <br />the PUC, or the Federal Aviation Regulations. <br />Resolution No. 2022-031 <br />Page 8 of 11 <br />
