The project includes code amendments to specify and clarify the city's requirements and permit review procedures in the event of a proposal to expand the McClellan-Palomar Airport. Proposed amendments to the General Plan • Specify as a policy statement city opposition to any changes to the Palomar Airport that would increase the impact that the Palomar Airport has on neighboring communities and on city resources beyond the B-11 Enhanced Alternative airport reference code. • Incorporate state law definitions for /(airport" and /(airport expansion." • Require new or expanded airport land uses to obtain a new or amended conditional use permit. • Permit airport development only within the current boundary of Palomar Airport. Proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinance • Incorporate state law definitions for /(airport" and "airport expansion." • Permit airport land uses only by issuance of a new or amended Conditional Use Permit • Amend the zoning tables to remove airport as a permissible land use, so that only the property within the current boundary of Palomar Airport, as depicted in the city Zoning Map, would remain as conditionally permissible for airport land uses. Proposed amendments to the Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan - the proposed Zoning Ordinance amendments (above) for those areas within or impacting areas of the Coastal Zone. Proposed procedures Under state law (California Public Utilities Code Section 21661.6) the acquisition of property for the expansion of the airport may not begin until: (1) the County of San Diego submits a plan detailing the proposed uses of the property to the city; and (2) The city holds a public hearing on the plan and subsequently approves that plan. Because the 2021 Airport Master Plan may require the county to acquire property beyond the current boundaries of Palomar Airport, and those properties are located within the limits of the city, the procedures are intended to guide the process in the review of plans and other actions of the county. The procedures are designed to provide an expeditious review of county applications for approval of plans to acquire property as required by Public Utilities Code Section 21661.6, while ensuring that all interested parties are given a full and fair opportunity to present their views on such applications. In accordance with the City's procedures and California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Sections15080-15097, a supplemental environmental impact report State Clearinghouse No. 2022090339, City Planning Case No. 2022-0007), was certified as complete on Jan. 30, 2024, by the City Council for the Housing Element Implementation and Public Safety Element Update. On that basis, the City Council adopted an addendum for the changes covered by this notice, in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15164.
