2. 8. The land use planning and zoning actions for this project will not interfere with the approaches to the airport runways. I. The FAA Aeronautical Study considered and analyzed the impact on existing and proposed arrival, departure, and en route procedures for aircraft operating under both visual flight rules (VFR) and instrument flight rules (IFR) and determined the project to be no hazard to air navigation. il. As stated in the Krause Analysis, "[a]lthough the proposed Geneva Commons. buildings will exceed the standards of FAR Part 77, the building site does not adversely impact any Instrument Approach Procedures, Departure Procedures or VFR procedures. at John Wayne Airport. The FAA evaluation found that there would be no significant adverse effect upon visual Flight rules (VFR) operations, or upon instrument flight rules (IFR) operations, or upon the operation of an air navigatiOn aid (NAVAID) if the building were built to the héightrequested in the FAA Form 7460.1. My study affirms the VFR and IFR operations determination issued by the FAA."Krause Analysis Section 3.0. iil. Therefore, since this project is consistent with the long-range development Of JWA!and this project will not interfere with the approaches to the airport runways, this project will provide for the orderly development of JWA. How does this project promote the overall goals and objectives of the California airport noise standards adopted pursuant to Section 21669? 1. Resolution 2005-040 Page 10 of61 Santa Ana's current Noise Element was adopted in 1982. The AELUP was amended most recently in 2002. While there are inconsistencies between the AELUP and Santa Ana's Noise Element, the inconsistencies are irrelevant to this project. The inconsistencies are as follows: I. While :;¡imilar, the graphic illustrating the noise contour for JWA in the Noh.e. Element is not identical to the noise contour in the AELUP. The noise element graphic illustrating the noise contour for JWA was hand drawn rather than prepared via the computer as it was in the AELUP. In the noise element, the maximum acceptable noise level for high density residential is 70 d8(A) CNEL, while the AELUP identifies 65 dl3 (A) CNEL as "normally inconsistent." il. iiI. The AELUP states in the description under "Normally Inconsistent", "[a]1I residential units are inconsistent unless
