City of Santa Ana <br />AIRPORT ENVIRONS ELEMENT <br />December 18, 2008 <br />FORMAT OF THE AIRPORT ENVIRONS ELEMENT <br />The Airport Environs Element is presented in four sections. The body <br />of this Element is devoted to establishing Planning Guidelines that <br />relate to areas affected by JWA and establishing Policies with regards <br />to airport related issues. The Appendices to the Element provide <br />detailed information regarding the areas addressed within the policy <br />framework. Each section of the Element is summarized below: <br />• The Introduction provides an overview of the requirements for <br />the Element established by State Law and the rationale of the <br />Element as well as presenting information on the Element's <br />consistency with other City General Plan Elements. <br />• The Planning Issues section identifies and defines areas of <br />concern in relation to land uses and impacts of noise from <br />JWA. <br />• The Policy Plan section describes City goals and policies <br />regarding areas impacted by JWA. <br />• The Appendices provide detailed information as well as a <br />glossary/definitions section and analyses and technical <br />information referenced in the Element. <br />GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY <br />The Airport Environs Element of the General Plan is one aspect of the <br />City's long-range planning program. California Government Code <br />requires that General Plans contain an integrated, consistent set of <br />goals and policies. The Airport Environs Element is therefore affected <br />by policies contained in other elements of the General Plan. For <br />example, the City's Noise Element contains standards and guidelines <br />regarding appropriate acceptable noise levels for all land uses, while <br />the City's Land Use Element establishes the location of land uses and <br />the desired density/intensity of these uses to meet community needs. <br />The Land Use Element also addresses factors such as man-made <br />risks that may affect the general pattern of development. <br />The policies and programs contained in this Element have been <br />determined to be consistent with the City's other General Plan <br />Elements (see Appendix A). <br />75G-14 <br />
