DATE'. Introduced November 7, 1989 for action on
November 14 , 1989 @ CWV
SUBJECT: Adoption of Additional Actions to Control Noise
Impacts from Buchanan Field Airport
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Endorse the following policies for incorporation into the
Buchanan Field Airport Master Plan and inform the Public
Works Department, Airport Manager, Aviation Advisory
Committee and Planning Commission of our decision:
1. Adopt a strict policy for aviation development and/or
activity at Buchanan Field based on the adopted Noise
Abatement Ordinance and FAR Part 150 Airport Noise
Compatibility Program such that: regardless of the
maximum number of planes allowed to be based at
Buchanan Field, no more planes or activity shall be
allowed if it will exceed the noise contours projected
in the FAR Part 150 study for the year 2010. If
adopted, this policy will assure that the airport will
operate within the noise study projections and,
therefore, the public will know exactly what will
happen in the future. The noise levels will become the
controlling factor on aviation development at Buchanan
Field. The effect of this policy would be to limit the
number of planes based at Buchanan or constrict
scheduled commuter service if the overall aviation
activity (number of operations) will exceed the adopted
noise level contours. For example, if the maximum
number of planes to be based at Buchanan Field remains
at 850, but the projected noise contours are reached
with 750 planes, then the total number of planes that
could be based at the airport would be 750.
2. Restrict the number of planes that can be based at
Buchanan Field to no more than 730 until the complete
noise monitoring system has been installed and is
operational for at least six months.
BACKGROUND:
The above actions are major steps toward assuring the
residential neighborhoods around Buchanan Field Airport that
noise levels from aviation activity will be controlled.
