COMMISSION FOR ORANGE COUNTY.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COSTA MESA DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS
FOLLOWS:
THAT, WHEREAS, the Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) of Orange County
has prepared draft revisions to the current Airport Environs Land Use Plan
(AELUP) dated August, 1975; and
WHEREAS, the proposed revisions will result in an expansion of the
Planning Area boundaries for John Wayne Airport -Orange County through the
incorporation of Part 77 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) relating
to building height restrictions within specified distances of John Wayne
Airport -Orange County; and
WHEREAS, the proposed revisions to the current AELUP do not include
provisions for the review and the approval of buildings which exceed the
limits of FAR Part 77; and
WHEREAS, strict application of the FAR Part 77 height limitations may
result in unreasonable restrictions on the use of property and on the
development of buildings which encroach into the imaginary surfaces estab-
lished by FAR Part 77 but which, according to expert analysis, do not
constitute a hazard to air navigation; and
WHEREAS, adoption of the proposed revisions to the adopted AELUP
without specific written procedures to allow for the review .and the
approval of buildings which encroach into the imaginary surfaces estab-
lished by FAR Part 77 but which, according to expert analysis do not
constitute a hazard to air navigation, may create significant and unreason-
able constraints and restrictions on future development proposals for such
buildings within the City of Costa Mesa;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Costa Mesa opposes the adoption of the revised AELUP as dated January 20,
1983;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Costa Mesa
recommends that the Airport Land Use Commission for Orange County include
specific written procedures into the revised AELUP which would allow for
the review and the approval of buildings which encroach into the imaginary
surfaces of FAR Part 77 but which, according to expert analysis, will not
constitute a hazard to air navigation.
