dBA CNEL noise contours. The Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) for the proposed project identifies that the western portion of the property is within the existing JWA 60 CNEL contour. Therefore, the FEIR includes Mitigation Measure LU -1 stating that all prospective residents of the project site shall be notified of airport related noise (via Notice of Airport in Vicinity language in lease /rental agreements). The FEIR also includes Mitigation Measure LU -2 which requires outdoor signage informing the public of the presence of operating aircraft consistent with AELUP Policy to be provided within outdoor common or recreational areas on the project site. C. The residential and commercial land uses under the proposed project are consistent with the safety standards of the AELUP. AELUP Section 2.1.2 sets forth Safety Compatibility Zones to support the continued use and operation of an airport by establishing compatibility and safety standards to promote air safety and reduce potential safety hazards for persons living, working, or recreating near JWA. The proposed project site is not within the safety zone areas for JWA. d. The residential and commercial land uses under the proposed project are consistent with the height standards of the AELUP. In Section 2.1.3 of the JWA AELUP, the Commission has incorporated the standards for height limits for determining obstructions and has incorporated the definitions of "imaginary surfaces" for airports as defined in Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 77. The proposed project is located within the FAR Part 77 "imaginary and notification surfaces" referral area. The proposed maximum height for the project is 124 feet above mean sea level (AMSL) and does not penetrate the notification surface which begins at 152.8 feet AMSL. The proposed project is located within the approach corridor for JWA which would be penetrated at 270 feet AMSL. The proposed maximum building height at this site is 124 feet AMSL. Because the project does not penetrate the approach corridor imaginary surface, the project will not impact areas reserved for air navigation. The project applicant filed Form 7460 -1 with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and has received a "Determination of No Hazard to Air Navigation" as documented in FAA Aeronautical Study No. 2015 -AWP- 1655 -0E. 2. The City is requiring the proposed project to meet the City's noise standards of 45 dB CNEL for the interior of residential uses, which is consistent with the standards established to promote the overall goals and objectives of the California airport noise standards. The City is also proposing a condition to demonstrate compliance with noise standards prior to each building permit. Through implementation of the City's noise standards and project conditions, the proposed project meets the AELUP standards for California airport noise. Resolution No. 2016 -013 Page 7 of 8
