State Aviation Legislation Caltrans Division of Aeronautics State aviation legislation report on our website Provide bill analysis for CT management. SB 481-Senator Cox - aligns State law with US F&W Permits. On Gov’s desk. ABX4 10- $4M Transfer to GF. All grant programs suspended for FY 09/10. SB 737-Senator McLeod - Requires all ALUCs be the same. This bill may be taken up in second year of session. SB 481, Senator Cox-Fair Oaks, District 01 (Airports: wildlife) This bill would protect airport officials from state sanctions for actions taken in accordance with certain U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service permits. The Latest – 8/20/09 Bill passed its second Senate floor vote today and is now headed to the Governor for his approval or veto. ABX4 10, Committee on Budget, Transportation This budget trailer bill became law on July 28, 2009. Section 3 of the bill adds language to the Aeronautics Act in the Public Utilities Code directing a transfer of $4.0 million from the Aeronautics Account to the General Fund and suspension of the Division’s authority to issue new Annual Credit Grants, Acquisition & Development funds, and AIP Local Match for fiscal year 2009/2010. SB 737, Senator Negrete McLeod-Chino, District 32 (Airports: airport land use commissions) This bill would delete some sections of airport land use law leaving fewer options for counties to establish an airport land use commission (ALUC). Some counties would be required to establish a new, so-called single-entity airport land use commission or designate an established planning body for airport planning responsibilities. No county would be exempt from the airport land use requirements. The Latest: - 6/2/09 This bill failed to pass out of the Senate and is therefore dead for at least this first year of the two-year session. It is possible for the bill to make progress if changes are made to it early next year. Caltrans Division of Aeronautics

Caltrans Division of Aeronautics Land Use Case Citizens v. San Luis Obispo - Initiative trumps Aeronautics Act, ALUC The Second Appellate Court issued a decision on August 4, 2009 invalidating a January 31, 2008 writ of mandate from the San Luis Obispo trial court to permit a 131-acre mixed use development near the San Luis Obispo airport. This decision has significant negative implications on the State Aeronautics Act and the powers and duties of Airport Land Use Commissions. Summary from the official decision filed 8/4/9 in appellate court: “The voters of the County of San Luis Obispo adopted an initiative measure amending a county's general plan and zoning regulations to permit a 131-acre mixed use development near a county airport. A citizens group filed a petition for writ of mandate in the superior court contending the SAA establishes a comprehensive system of land use regulation near airports which precludes use of the initiative power. The trial court issued a writ of mandate invalidating the initiative and prohibiting its enforcement. In its ruling, the trial court found that the SAA preempted the field and provided the only means for land use regulation within the area subject to commission authority. Therefore the power of the initiative could not be used. The trial court also found the initiative invalid because its subject matter was "adjudicative" in nature, as opposed to "legislative.“ On appeal, the proponents of the initiative, the owner and the developer of the property, contend the initiative is within the power of the electorate, is legislative in its nature, lawfully amends the County's general plan and is not preempted by the SAA. We agree and reverse.” Voters change GP in SLO by initiative Original case: State Aeronautics Act precludes voter initiative Trial court issued a writ of mandate Appellate Court overturned Trial Court and claims GP change by initiative is not preempted by State Aeronautics Act Caltrans Division of Aeronautics

Caltrans Division of Aeronautics 2010 CALUP Handbook Update Key Objectives: Update for changes in law and regulation Update accident data and revise discussion of risk and safety zones Additional guidance on infill development Provide more “self help” and templates for ALUC staff and commissioners, particularly for small jurisdictions Incorporate additional guidance for California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance Provide information on NextGen and implications for future airport land use compatibility planning These are some of the highlights included in the scope of work fo r the 2010 Handbook Update. There will be more outreach and stakeholder input then last time. It’s important to update the Handbook to make it consistent with changes to the PUC and FAA Regs. Updating the accident data is a necessary thing to make the information in the Handbook useful. The safety zones are based on accident data. Clarification on Zone 1 and the correct size to be used for the safety zone maps required in an Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan. There will be a DVD training tool created.

Caltrans Division of Aeronautics Noise Issues Due to economic recession, aircraft noise contours are shrinking, in general. We must remain mindful that as the economy rebounds, so will aircraft noise. Local planners must resist any temptation to allow new noise sensitive land uses to build up to these temporarily reduced aircraft noise contours. Caltrans Division of Aeronautics
