REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION:{;
1. Adopt a negative declaration of potential environmental impact.
2. Approve an amendment to the Airport Planned Community District General
Development Plan to include a golf course as a conditional use within the approach

a golf course as a conditional use within the approach protection subzone excepting
lands within 300 feet of the runway centerline and the runway clear zones.
BACKGROUND: The Airport Advisory Commission reviewed the proposal to develop a
golf course on airport lands and recommended that the Airport PCD be amended to
include a golf course as a conditional use. The Airport Advisory Commission
recommended a 300 foot setback from the runway centerline. The Planning Commission
held a public hearing on September 10th and recommended that the amendment be
approved. I The Planning Commission's only concern was that the approach protection
subzone includes the clear zones for the approaches. Staff therefore recommends that
lands within 300 feet of the runway centerline and the clear zones be excluded in the
proposed amendment to the PCD General Development Plan.
The eastside of the Airport is designated as
Use Map and a golf course use would be
element (as evaluated in the initial study).
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Add other conditions or criteria.
2. Deny the proposed change.
Urban Separator on the General Plan Land

CONSEQUENCES OF NOT ACTING: If the PCD amendment is not approved, a golf
course could not be developed on airport lands.
