REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND: On March 31, 1987 the Board of Supervisors set April 28, 1987 as a public hearing date for the Interim Commercial Airline Airport Access Plan & Regulation. Previously the Board of Supervisors directed the Public Works Department to prepare an Airport Access Plan to control access by scheduled airlines that desire to use Buchanan Field Airport. This Access Plan has. been developed in cooperation with the consulting firm of Mestre Greve Associates , Inc, that did the environmental background studies and the law firm of Gatzke & Mispagel , which specializes in airport noise and access plan work. This Access Plan has been reviewed by the Public Works Department, County Counsel , the Community Development Department, and the Aviation Advisory Committee. The Aviation Advisory Committee reviewed the proposed Access Plan and all environmental documentation that has been prepared in support of this plan. The AAC further has considered that there will be a full EIR done on the Airport Master Plan which started March 2, 1987. Continued on attachment: X yes Signatur .

Div.: Public Works (AP) By cc: County Administrator Deputy Clerk County Counsel Mestre Greve Associates, Inc. Gatzke & Mispagel sf BO:28.t4 It is recommendation of the Aviation Advisory Committee that there be no delays in implementing the Access Plan. The AAC strongly recommends immediate adoption of this Interim Access Plan in the best interests of the County. Implementation of the Access Plan will give protection for the County during the period of the plan in order to limit access to Buchanan Field Airport to the number of commercial airline operators that can be tolerated according to the plan . The Aviation Advisory Committee suggests that any delay in implementing this plan leaves the County open for requests by other carriers asking for the same consideration already granted to Pacific Southwest Airlines. The AAC further feels that the analysis done by our consultants, both prior to PSA starting up and subsequent to their service, indicates that the impact on the surrounding communities up to the limits recommended in the Access Plan, will not be "significant" in accordance with CEQA guidelines. The AAC, therefore, recommends that a negative declaration environmental study is appropriate and that the Board of Supervisors immediately adopt the Interim Commercial Airline Access Plan and Regulation for Buchanan Field Airport. The AAC further recommends that the information contained in this Access Plan be included in the consultants considerations for the Master Plan. The Public Works Department and Community Development Department has examined all available information and concurs with the recommendations of the Aviation Advisory Committee. County Counsel has no legal objection to the Interim Commercial Airline Access Plan and Regulation.
