TO: Honorable Chair and Airport Land Use Commission FROM: ALUC Staff DATE: March 7, 2002 ITEM: Consistency review of the City of Oroville's General Plan : A consistency review of the City of Oroville's General Plan pursuant to Public Resources Code 21676. FOR: Airport Land Use Commission Meeting on March 20, 2002 SUMMARY: Staff recommends that ALUC find the amendment to Oroville's General Plan consistent with the 2000 Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan for the Oroville Municipal Airport, satisfying Section 21676 of the Public Resources Code. BACKGROUND: On December 20, 2000, the Butte County Airport Land Use Commission adopted the 2000 Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) for all public use airports in the county. This action set in motion the requirement for each local agency whose General Plan includes area covered by the ALUCP to either amend their General Plan to conform to the ALUCP or to override the ALUCP by making specific findings as set forth in Public Utilities Code 21670 et seq. The City of Oroville has prepared amendment to their General Plan in order to bring it into conformity with the ALUCP for the Oroville Municipal Airport. The proposed amendment includes changes to the General Plan Diagram depicting the airport area of influence and individual Compatibility Zones, as well as changes in land use designations in order to meet the residential density and land use intensity criteria in the ALUCP. The City is also proposing a text amendment to their Land Use Element, Circulation Element, Safety Element, and Noise Element. The amendment includes the incorporation of ALUCP Table 2A, as well as the Accident Risk and Noise Impact exhibits taken directly from the ALUCP. IN addition, the City is proposing an amendment to their zoning code to adopt an Airport Influence Area Overlay Zone. This new zone will be applied to the Airport Area of Influence as shown in the ALUCP and incorporates density and intensity criteria, as well as open space requirements. Moreover, a section of prohibited uses is included consistent with the ALUCP provisions. ANALYSIS: The proposed amendments to the City of Oroville General Plan and Zoning Code are consistent with the 2000 ALUCP for the Oroville Municipal Airport. It appears the City has incorporated all of the applicable ALUCP requirements into the proposed amendments. The most significant actions proposed are as follows: /Butte County iAirport 1 and Use Commission 1. Approximately 48 acres in the B-2 Compatibility Zone is proposed for a change from Medium Density Residential to Very Low Density Residential. The associated zoning proposed for this area is AR -5 (5 -acre minimum). (Exhibit B, page 1 & 3) 2. Eleven parcels in the C Compatibility Zone are being rezoned from RMH-S (2 units per acre) to RHM-1 (up to 6 units per acre). The increased density will bring these parcels into conformity with the C Zone. (Exhibit B, page 2 & 3) 3. The Land Use Element text is being amended with the addition of 7 new policies all aimed at ALUCP implementation, including a direct reference to the compatibility criteria in the ALUCP. (Exhibit B, page 4) 4. Table 2A of the ALUCP is included as a Table in the City General Plan. Zone C of the table should be amended to reflect a parcel size of 0.25 acres rather than 0.20 acres. (Exhibit B, page 6 & 7) 5. A new overlay.zone will be applied to the entire Airport Area of Influence. Provisions of the Overlay Zone directly reflect applicable policies of the ALUCP. (Exhibit B, page 15) In the resulting General Plan diagram, all lands within the C zone are designated Residential Medium Density, Residential High Density, Commercial, Residential Very Low Density, or Resource Management. Zoning Districts that implement the General Plan designations either allow residential density greater that 4 dwelling units per acre or limit it to one dwelling per 5 acres. The land use designations in the B-2 Zone are Airport Business Park, Residential Very Low Density, Resource Management, Public or Environmental Conservation/Safety. Zoning Districts that implement the General Plan designations are either Manufacturing, Open Space, Airport Business Park or residential zones with 5 -acre minimums or greater. The designations in the B-1 Zone are Airport Business Park, resource Management, or Public. Zoning Districts that implement the General Plan designations are Open Space, Airport Business Park, or residential zones with 5 -acre minimums or greater. The A Zone is designated almost exclusively as Public with an Open Space Zoning designation RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Butte County Airport Land Use Commission find the proposed amendments to the City of Oroville's General Plan and Zoning Code consistent with the 2000 Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan for the Oroville Municipal Airport.
