RE: 2000 Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) f '
Dear Meleka:
Transmitted for review by you and your Commission is a copy of proposed'amendments to the City of
Oroville General Plan and Zoning maps and text. The proposed amendments:are intended to address the '1
1.
concerns described in Appendix I of the ALUCP; and make Oroville's planning documents consistent with
the ALUCP. However, please note that page I-8 of the ALUCP incorrectly identifies an existing and
proposed school site as being in Zone "C." Both the existing and proposed school sites are on the'east'side
of 12th Street, which Figure 3B of the ALUCP depicts as being the boundary between Zones "C" and "D."
Rather than incorporate the entire ALUCP by reference, we chose to adopt the substantive policies directly
into our Gene ral'Plan and Zoning Ordinance. You will note that our proposed amendments do not include
mention of "infiIP,development (ALUCP Policy 2.4.4a). The reason for the intentional omission is that
existing development is scattered and relatively sparse in the vicinity of the Airport Influence Area. .
Subsection (4) of this policy indicates that the potential for infill is to be evaluated on the basis of existing
development, and City staff did not identify any sites that are currently "at least 65% bounded ... by existing
uses similar to, or more intensive than, those proposed." To include the infill exception in the proposed
zoning regulations would convey the mistaken impression that at some point in the future, a property can
become eligible for an infill "exemption" to density/intensityrestrictions for the zone in which it is located.
Please review these documents and provide comments in the manner described in the ALUCP. Oroville
Planning Commission held public hearings on them in -September, 2001, and recommended that City
Council should adopt them. City Council will hold a hearing regarding the proposal on April 2, 2002.
If you have questions about these materials, please don't hesitate to contact the. I look forward to receiving
• 6
comments from you and the Commission.
Sincerely,'

Primary Compatibility Criteria 4
Butte County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan
Oroville General Plan R Zoning Amendments for Airport February N. Y,10
Table 3.70A Continued
NOTES:
1 Residential development should not contain more than the indicated number of dwelling units (both primary and
secondary) per gross acre. With clustering, some parcels may be much smaller than others as long as the maximum
overall density criterion is not exceeded. Clustering of units is encouraged in Compatibility Zones B2 and C — see
Policy 4.2.6 for limitations.
2 Usage calculations shall include all people who may be on the property (e.g., employees, customers/visitors, etc.)
both indoors and outside. These criteria are intended as general planning guidelines to aid in determining the accept-
ability of proposed land uses. Additional guidance is provided by Appendix D.
3 Open land requirements are intended to be applied with respect to an entire zone. Community general plans and/or
implementing policies shall indicate how and where the requirements will be met. Application of open land require-
ments to individual development proposals is at the discretion of the local jurisdiction and is dependent upon the size
of the development (some Individual parcels may be too small to accommodate the minimum -size open area require-
ment) and whether the requirements can be made solely on public property. See supporting compatibility policies on
safety (Policy 4.2.5) for definition of open land.
4 The uses listed here are ones which are explicitly prohibited regardless of whether they meet the intensity criteria,
unless such prohibition is precluded by applicable state statutes. In addition to these explicitly prohibited uses, other
uses will normally not be permitted in the respective compatibility zones because they do not meet the usage intensity
criteria.
5 Airport proximity and the potential for aircraft overflights should be disclosed as part of all real estate transactions in-
volving property within any of the airport influence area zones. Easement dedication and deed notice requirements
apply only to new development.
6 The total number of people permitted on a project site at any time, except rare special events, must not exceed the
indicated usage intensity times the gross acreage of the site. Rare special events are ones (such as an air show at an
airport) for which a facility is not designed and normally not used and for which extra safety precautions can be taken
as appropriate.
7 Clustering of nonresidential development is permitted except in Zone A. However, no single acre of a project site shall
exceed the indicated number of people per acre. See Policy 4.2.6 for details.
8 An intensity bonus may be allowed in Zones 82 and C if the building design includes features intended to reduce asks
to occupants in the event of an aircraft collision with the building. See Policy 4.2.7 for details.
9 Hazards to flight include physical (e.g., tall objects), visual, and electronic forms of interference with the safety of
aircraft operations. Land use development which may cause the attraction of birds to increase is also prohibited. See
the supporting compatibility policies on airspace protection (Policies 4.3.2 and 4.3.6) for details.
10 For the purposes of these criteria, children's schools include through grade 12.
11 Family day care homes (as defined by state law) are permitted in all Compatibility Zones except Zone A. Noncom-
mercial day care centers ancillary to a place of business are permitted in Compatibility Zones 62 and C provided that
the overall use of the property meets the indicated intensity criteria.
12 Storage of aviation fuel and other aviation -related flammable materials on an airport is.exempted from this criterion.
Storage of up to 2,b00 gallons of nonaviation flammable materials is also exempted.
13 NLR = Noise Level Reduction; the outside -to -inside sound level attenuation which the structure provides. See the
supporting compatibility policy on interior noise (Policy 4.1.5) for details.
14 Objects up to 35 feet in height are permitted; however, the Federal Aviation Administration may require marking and
fighting of certain objects. See supporting compatibility policy on height restrictions (Policy 4.3.2) for details.
15 Two options are presented for residential densities in Compatibility Zone C. Option (1) requires an average parcel size
of at least 5.0 gross acres. Option (2) requires a density of at least 4.0 dwelling units per acre (an average parcel size
no greater than 0.2 gross acres). In locations where only one of these options is considered acceptable, the compati-
bility maps in Chapter 3 show either a C(1) or a C(2) symbol. In locations where either option is allowed, the map is
marked with just the letter C. In the latter locations, the choice between the two options is at the discretion of the local
land use jurisdiction. All other criteria for Zone C apply to both the C(1) and C(2) designations.
This two -option criterion is based upon a determination that the intrusiveness of aircraft noise is the most significant
compatibility factor in Zone C; safety is only a minor concern The concept is that noise concerns can be minimized
either by limiting the number of dwellings in the affected area or by allowing high densities which tend to have com-
pa�atively high ambient noise levels.

CIRCULATION ELEMENT
COMPLETELY REVISE SECTION 5.50 (pages 5-25) TO READ AS FOLLOWS:
5.50 OROVILLE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT
Background. The City of Oroville acquired the original 188 acres for airport purposes in
1936. In 1941 the runways were extended in length by the City and the Work Project Administration, and
the Airport land was increased to 428 acres. In 1942, the United States Army commandeered Oroville
Airport for the duration of the war and improved the runways in width and length. In 1947 the Arm,
returned the Airport jurisdiction to the City.' Additional land has since been acquired and the current size
of the Airport is approximately 908 acres Approximately 300 acres of this property are leased for various
uses including a golf course and a mosquito abatement district. In 1992, the primary runway was shifted
and extended to the southwest to.reduce off -Airport land use compatibility problems
The Oroville Municipal Airport serves over 36,500 operations per year, with about 93
percent of those operations being by single-engine aviation aircraft, and less than 1 percent being by
business jet.'
The 1990 Master Plan for Oroville Municipal Airport projects that by the year 2010. the
Airport will _serve approximately 72,000 operations, 2% of which will be business jets Constructed
runway design and improvements support that projected use. The Plan also recommends planning for a
reserve capacity of at least 100 percent. The latter figure would parallel projected Planning Area
population growth envisioned by .the General Plan.
The 2000 Butte County Airport Land Use Commission's Airport Land Use
Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) establishes land use compatibility criteria and policies applicable to local
agencies in their preparation or amendment of land use plans and ordinances and to land owners in their
design of new development. The ALUCP establishes an influence area for each of Butte County's airports
that extends roughly 2 to 3 miles from airport runways for the statutorily required purpose of
"...protectfingl public health, safety, and welfare by ensuring the orderly expansion of airports and the
adoption of land use measures that minimize the public's exposure to excessive noise and safety hazards
within areas around public airports to the extent that these areas are not already devoted to incompatible
uses." By law, all development projects proposed within the ALUCP's designated influence area for the
Oroville Municipal Airport must be approved by the Butte County Airport Land Use Commission unless
the City either amends it's General Plan to be consistent with the ALUCP or overrides the ALUCP in the
manner specified by State law_
tit..
The Oroville Municipal Airport Influence Area is established in Section 3 70 of this
General Plan in order to promote compatibility between uses of the Oroville Municipal Airport and the '
land uses that surround it. Problems that could affect use of an airport include height of buildings and. ;
other objects,:density of buildings and people, smoke, glare and flocks of birds The boundaries of
Oroville's Airport Area of Influence and the development criteria for properties within it are consistent
with State'law.applicable to the Airport operational role and facility improvements described in Oroville's ff
1990 Master Plan for the Oroville Municipal Airport, and with the construction that has occurred at.the c
Airport subsequent to that date. The boundaries and criteria are also consistent with the Butte County
Airport Land Use Commission's Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan adopted in December, 2000 The
ALUCP describes the determinants of each subzone as follows:
Oroville General Plan & Zoning Amendments for Airport February8, 2002 Page 8 ;
a) Zone A - Runway Protection Zone encompasses the runway protection zones at each of the
four runway ends. The RPZs extend 1,700 feet and 1,000 feet beyond the primary surface
of the main and secondary runways, respectively. Laterally, the zone boundaries follow
the building restriction lines indicated on the adopted Airport layout plan. All but some
tiny areas of Zone A are on Airport or other adjoining_ public property.
Zone Bl -Approach /Departure Zone and Sideline Zone encompasses the Airport's
projected 55 -dB CNEL contour.
c) Zone B2 - Extended Approach/Departure Zone extends beyond Zone B 1 at each runway
end to encompass the close -in low -altitude portions of traffic patterns The zone len h is
greater to the southwest than in other directions in recognition of the dominance of the
take -offs in that direction, and of the existing straight -in nonprecision (GPCI instrument
approach to that runway end.
Zone C - Trafc Pattern Zone encompasses the principle traffic pattern for each runway.
e) Zone D - Airport Environs Zone matches the FAR Part 77 conical zone limit.boundary of
the runways.
Objectives: Oroville Municipal Airport
5.50a Continue to plan and develop the Airport to maximize its contributions to business
. efficiency and recreational opportunity in the Planning Area.
5.50b Protect the Airport's ability to provide service within the community by ensuring
compatible development within the Airport Influence.Area.
With plenty of room to grow elsewhere, Oroville has the opportunity to avoid repetition of
the mistakes that have devalued public investment in both large and small airports
elsewhere.
Implementing Policies: Oroville Municipal Airport
5.50c Ensure that new development is compatible with the criteria described in Table 3.70-A of
this General Plan.
Within the Airport Influence Area. low altitude flights cause noise complaints. Safety is
another reason for limiting residential density and concentrations of people. Low
intensity development increases opportunities for emergency landings that do not hit
buildings. Accidents within one mile of an airport account for 22 percent of all serious or
fatal general aviation accident (1974-79 data, National Transportation Safety Board).
Using projected airport operations, the probable incidence, of near -airport accidents
would be one in 10 years (McElroy Report to California Assembly, 1973). The Office of
Airports Manual' recommends a "saJ1y zone "for location of school facilities, with a
width of], 500 feet on the non-traf is pattern side and 4, 000 feet on the traf c pattern
side, and extending a mile beyond the length of the runway, for jets/large cargo planes.

26.63B.060 Persons per Acre.
A. Calculations of the number of persons per acre shall include all people who may be on the
property (e.g., employees, customers/visitors, etc), both indoors and outdoors. The calculations shall be
based upon one or more criteria that include the number of parking spaces provided for the use, the
maximum occupancy allowed by adopted building codes, and/or (for non-standard types of development) a
survey of similar uses in other jurisdictions. Sample calculation based upon parking spaces and upon
building codes are provided in Appendix D of the December, 200 Butte County Airport Land Use
Compatibility Plan. (ALUCP Table 2A, Note 2; Appendix D)
B. "Average" density is the usage intensity indicated in section 26.63B.050 times the gross
acreage of the site. The total number of people permitted on a project site at any time shall not exceed the
indicated average density for the zone in which the project site is°located, except for rare special events
(such as an air show at an airport) for which a facility is not designed and normally not used and for which
extra safety precautions can be taken as appropriate. (ALUCP Table 2A, note 6) Clustered development
shall not result in densityor intensity of use on any single acre that exceeds the indicated average density.
(ALUCP Table 2A, note 7; policy 4.2.6)
C. "One Acre" density is the maximum number of people who may occupy any single acre of.
the project site. This limitation also applies to clustered development. For purposes of this requirement,
areas to be evaluated shall be squares (e.g., 209 feet by 209 feet for a 1 -acre area) to the extend possible
(given the shape of a property being evaluated). (ALUCP policy 4.2.6)
D. "Bonus" is the increase in persons per acre that rtiay be permitted upon approval of a use
permit by the Planning Commission if the building design reduces risks to occupants in the event of an
aircraft collision with the building by incorporating features that include, but are not limited to, the

not create a safety hazard to people on the ground or aircraft in flight
26.631.070 Open Land. (ALUCP Table 2A, note 3; policy 4.2.5)
A. New development of every property shall include an area of open land, except that for
parcels that are too small to accommodate the minimum -size open land area as specified herein, the City
may require that construction of structures and parking areas must be clustered and located on the property
in a manner that facilitates providing a minimum -size open land area from combined portions of
contiguous properties.
B. The amount of open land required for new development of every property shall be that
percentage of the total gross area of the property that is indicated in section 26.63B.050.
C. An open land area shall be consistent with all of the following characteristics:
1. It shall have minimum dimensions of at least 75 feet by 300 feet.
. 2. It must be free of structures and other major obstacles such as walls, large trees or
poles (greater than 4 inches in diameter, measured 4 feet above the ground) and overhead wires.
3. It must be reserved as Airport Safety Open Land by deeded easement that
prohibits development that is not consistent with this section.
D. Roads are acceptable as open land areas if they met the above criteria, particularly with
respect to arrangement of light fixtures and placement/height of street trees.
26.6313.080 Prohibited Uses. The uses listed here are explicitly prohibited, regardless of whether they
meet the intensity criteria, unless such prohibition is precluded by applicable State statutes.

dust, steam, smoke), and electronic forms of interference with the safety of aircraft operations. Also
included is land use development which may cause the attraction of birds to increase (such as landfills).
(ALUCP Table 2A, note 9; policy 4.2.4) Storage of fuel and other hazardous materials is prohibited in
Zone A. In Zones BI and B2, these substances must be stored in underground tanks, except that on -airport
storage of aviation fuel and other aviation -related flammable materials is allowed, as is storage of up to
2,000 gallons of nonaviation flammable materials. (ALUCP Table 2A, note 12; policy 4.3.6).
F. Children's schools (K-12), day care centers (non-commercial centers ancillary to a place of

26.63B.100 Clustering. In all zones except Zone A, development of a site or within a subdivision may be
concentrated in a portion of the overall project site for purposes of achieving required open land, subject to
the following limitations.
A In no case shall the applicable maximum overall density criteria indicated in section
26.6313.050 be exceeded on any one acre of the project site as a result of clustering.
B. With clustering, some lots may be much smaller than others, although approval of a
Planned Development Zone is accordance with section 26-71 of this chapter may be required if the
proposed clustering of structures or lots is not consistent with development standards applicable to the
underlying zoning district with which the Airport Influence Overlay Zone is combined. (ALUCP Table 2,
notes 1, 6, & 7; policy 4.2.6)
26.6313.110 Nonconforming Uses. (ALUCP.policy 2.4.4 b & c)
A. Nonconforming residential uses may be expanded in building size provided that the
expansion does not result in more dwelling units than currently exist on the property.
B., A nonconforming nonresidential development shall not be expanded in area or increased
in intensity (the number of people per acre) above the levels existing at the time of adoption of the Airport
Influence Area Overlay Zone.
C. An existing nonconforming development that has been fully or partially destroyed as a
result of a calamity may be rebuilt under the following circumstances, provided the use and/or
development is compatible with the underlying zoning designation:
1. Nonconforming residential uses may be rebuilt provided that the expansion does
not result in more dwelling units than existed on the parcel at the time of the damage.
2. A nonconforming nonresidential development maybe rebuilt, even if completely
destroyed, provided that the reconstruction does not increase the floor area of the previous
structure or result in an increased intensity of use (i.e., more people per acre).
Oroville General Plan & Zoning Amendments for Airport • February 8, 2002 Page 18
P�
3. Reconstruction under this section must begin within 12 months and be completed
within 24 months of the date that the damage occurred. The Planning Commission may grant an
extension to these time limits upon approval of a use permit, in accordance with the provisions of
section 26-80 of this code.
4. Nothing in these provisions is intended to preclude work required for normal
maintenance and repair.
•
U
26.63B.120 Development by Right. Nothing in these policies prohibits construction or alteration of a
single-family home on a legal lot of record if such use is permitted by local land use regulations. (ALUCP
2.4.4 d)
26.6313.130 Parcels Lying within Two or More Compatibili Zones. (ALUCP policy 2.4.4e)
A. For the purposes of evaluating consistency with the compatibility criteria set forth herein,
any parcel which is split by compatibility zone boundaries shall be considered as if it were multiple parcels
divided at the compatibility zone boundary line.
B. The intensity of development allowed within the more restricted portion of the parcel can
(and is encouraged to) be transferred to the less restricted portion even if the resulting development in the
latter area then exceeds the criteria for that compatibility zone.
26.63B.140 Other Special Conditions. (ALUCP policy 2.4.4f)
A. The Planning Commission may approve a use permit to allow a use that is permitted by
the underlying zone applicable to a property to be established, even though the use is not otherwise
permitted within the Airport Influence Area Safety Zone applicable to that property, upon determining that
extraordinary factors related to terrain, specific location, or other factors or circumstances related to the site
makes the normally incompatible use acceptable.
B. The provisions,of section 26-80 of this'code shall apply to approval of a use permit, in
addition to which the Commission shall make specific findings as to all of the following:
1. The reason for the exception.
2. The approved use will not create a safety hazard to people on the ground or in the
air.
3. The approved use will not result in excessive noise exposure for the proposed use.
4. The nature of the extraordinary circumstances which warrant the policy exception

l C..� Lu' •s"'
Flex your power!
Be energy efficient!
The California Department of Transportation (Department) has recently submitted the 2002
Proposed. Program for 'Aeronautics (PPA) to California Transportation Commission
(Commission). The PPA identifies airport capital projects that will be funded for the next
three fiscal years (2002/03 through 2004/05). The Commission is scheduled to formally adopt
the PPA as the 2002 Aeronautics Program at its April 3-4, 2002, meeting. Specific projects are
shown on the enclosed list.
The PPA is based upon the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) that the Commission adopted
in July 2001. The Department selected projects from the CIP in accordance with the Project
Evaluation Matrix (Matrix) and available funds which are set by the 2002 Fund Estimate that
•the Commission recently approved. The CIP was jointly prepared by the Department, airport
managers, and regional transportation planning agencies. Copies of the CIP have been
distributed to all interested parties. If you have questions about either the CIP or the Project
Evaluation Matrix, please contact Bob Moore at (916) 634-3775.
Please review the PPA to see if it includes any projects for your airport. _ Note that the
proposed projects are displayed here in alphabetical order. Keep in mind that project selection
is based upon each project's "score" from the Matrix. To the right of each project's cost is that
score. The last page lists projects from the previous Aeronautics Program that the _
Department is recommending for deletion.
If you find any discrepancies in the PPA or want to change it in someway, please contact us.
The PPA will not become final until the Commission adopts it in April.
If you have any questions, please contact Mike Farmer at (916) 654-5174.
