5. CC 18-419 One Engine Inoperative Airport
Recommendation: 1. Accept a completed Downtown Airspace and Development Capacity
Study, with selection of Scenario 4, which would affirm the City’s
development policy to use Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
obstruction evaluation determinations on a project-by-project basis as
maximum building height limits in the Downtown Core and Diridon
Station Area.
2. Direct the Administration and City Attorney’s Office to explore, and
report back to Council on, the feasibility of establishing a “Community
Air Service Support Fund” to financially mitigate air service impacts that
might arise from implementation of Scenario 4 of the Downtown
Airspace and Development Capacity Study.
3. Direct the Administration to consider potential refinements to the
development review process for projects subject to an FAA obstruction
evaluation determination including:
a. Requiring applicants to have the technical data on the FAA submittal
forms be prepared by a licensed civil engineer and that the forms
identify the location and elevation of the highest points of the proposed
building, including any mechanical rooms, screens, antennas, or other
accessory structure.
b. Requiring applicants to also identify the location and elevation of the
highest points of the proposed building and accessory extensions
thereof, on their City development permit application plans, including
any mechanical rooms, screens, antennas, or other accessory structure.
c. Requiring that when the FAA requires a completed construction
survey as part of an obstruction evaluation determination, that such
survey be prepared by a licensed civil engineer for the highest-points of
the structure, including accessory extensions thereof, and be completed
prior to City issuance of an occupancy certification.
d. Requiring a development permit amendment application for any
proposed modification or addition to an existing or approved building
that would create a new and/or relocated roof-top high point.
e. Developing a construction crane policy in the Downtown Core and
Diridon Station area to minimize impacts on airline service during
construction.
4. Direct the Administration to initiate amendments, as determined
applicable, to the General Plan and other key policy documents to
incorporate the above recommendations and conduct outreach with the
downtown development community to provide information and
guidance on development height restrictions. (Airport)
