A development plan including maps, plans and drawings shall be submitted with any application for a Certificate of Zoning Compliance or rezoning, and shall include:
(a) Proposed Use: All elements of the proposed development shall be consistent with Table 1 (Land Use Compatibility Standards).
(b) Siting: Buildings, structures and active outdoor recreational space shall be located the greatest distance from the noise source, taking maximum advantage of existing topographical features to minimize noise impact, and within zoning district requirements, such as required setbacks. Buildings and structures shall be oriented to minimize exposure to the noise source and building openings, such as windows, shall be located away from the noise source.
(c) Site/DNL Contour Map: Showing the location of subject property on the contour map.
(d) Location of Structures:
(e) Specification of Uses:
(f) Narrative Description:
(g) Design Consideration Regarding Noise: The amount of passive outdoor recreational space where individuals would be subject to noticeable or severe levels of noise should be minimized. Natural or man made materials would be used to deflect noise.

Key to Table 1
LAND USE COMPATIBILITY STANDARDS - FAR PART 150
Rickenbacker International Airport
Y (Yes) Land Use and related structures are compatible without restrictions.
N (No) Land Use and related structures are not compatible and should be prohibited.
NLR Noise Level Reduction (outdoor to indoor) are to be achieved through incorporation of noise attenuation into the design and construction of the structure.
25, 20, 35 Land Use and related structures generally compatible; measures to achieve a NLR of 25, 30 or 35 dB must be incorporated into design and construction of structure.
Notes for Table 1
1. Where the community determines that residential or school uses must be allowed, measures to achieve outdoor to indoor Noise Level Reduction (NLR) of at least 25 dB and 30 dB should be incorporated into building codes and be considered in individual approvals. Normal residential construction can be expected to provide a NLR of 20 dB; thus, the reduction requirements are often stated as 5, 10 or 15 dB over standard construction and normally assume mechanical ventilation and closed windows year round. However, the use of NLR criteria will not eliminate outdoor noise problems.
2. Measures to achieve NLR of 25 dB must be incorporated into the design and construction of portions of these buildings where the public is served, office areas, noise-sensitive areas, or where the normal noise level is low.
3. Measures to achieve NLR of 30 dB must be incorporated into the design and construction of portions of these buildings where the public is received, office areas, noise-sensitive areas, or where the normal noise level is low.
4. Measures to achieve NLR of 35 dB must be incorporated into the design and construction of portions of these buildings where the public is received, office areas, noise-sensitive areas, or where the normal noise level is low.
5. Land use compatible provided special sound reinforcement systems are installed.
6. Residential buildings require a NLR of 25.
7. Residential buildings require a NLR of 30.
a) Residential buildings not permitted.
Field Testing of Interior Noise Levels:
Field testing of interior noise levels may be made by a property owner within the affected noise contours of the Rickenbacker Port Authority. Such field testing must be performed using appropriate sound measuring devices by technicians trained in their use if the results are to be relied upon for sound related land use decisions.
