A. Definition:
The Fullerton Airport Environs Land Use Plan (AELUP) is formulated by the Airport Land Use Commission for Orange County (ALUC) under the authority of Section 21675 of the Public Utilities Code of the State of California. The intent of this land use plan is to safeguard the general welfare of the inhabitants within the vicinities of the airport and to ensure the continued operation of the airport. The plan establishes land use guidelines, development standards and operational regulations "to protect the public from the adverse effects of aircraft noise, to ensure that people and facilities are not concentrated in areas susceptible to aircraft accidents, and to ensure that no structures or activities adversely affect navigable airspace."
B. Planning Area Boundary:
As part of the AELUP, the ALUC designates and adopts a "planning area" or "airport influence area". The planning area includes all points within 10,000 feet from the nearest point of the runway.
C. Compliance with Airport Environs Land Use Plan:
Proposed development and activities that would take place within the planning area are subject to a review by the ALUC, as specified in Chapters 2, 3 and 4 of the AELUP. Furthermore, development projects which will exceed 200 feet above ground level at their sites must undergo FAA review and may require referral to the ALUC. Additionally, any amendment to a City's General or Specific Plan, Airport Master Plan, or Zoning Ordinance must be submitted to the ALUC for a determination prior to its adoption by the City.
