5 Aircraft Noise Impacts Around NAS Fort Worth JRB

6 What is the AICUZ Study? DOD Advisory Document Air Installation Compatible Use Zone Study Noise Footprint Accident Potential Zones Land Use Recommendations (?)

7 Aircraft types Flight paths INPUTS Noise Basics db DNL = Decibels, measured as a Day-Night Average Sound Level Flight altitudes Engine settings Time of day Frequency of flight Aircraft specific characteristics Ground engine run-ups Weather

8 Accident Potential Basics Areas where accidents are most likely to occur IF they occur NOT a predictor of accidents APZs provide planners a tool to use in determining compatible land use

9 Land Use Recommendations Guiding Principles * * Details are available in tables within the AICUZ and JLUS. Clear Zones should be clear Limit people-intensive uses in APZ s Limit noise sensitive uses to lower noise zones (i.e. hospitals, schools, day cares, et cetera) Limit new future development in critical areas Consult the AICUZ when planning new facilities Consider a sound attenuation program for impacted properties Develop a long-term plan to address realworld AICUZ impacts Update City comprehensive plan and zoning ordinances

10 AICUZ Impacts North of the Runway APZ-II: Accident Potential Zone II APZ-II Compatible Land Uses (Examples): Low density single-family residential Most retail trade Most manufacturing Plus: List shown below for APZ-I APZ-I: Accident Potential Zone I APZ-I Compatible Land Uses (Examples): Some manufacturing Some retail trade (building materials, farm equipment, automotive) Repair or Construction Services Low intensity outdoor activities (golf courses, riding stables, parks) CZ: Clear Zone Clear Zone Compatible Land Uses: None

11 AICUZ Impacts South of the Runway CZ: Clear Zone Clear Zone Compatible Land Uses: None APZ-I: Accident Potential Zone I APZ-I Compatible Land Uses (Examples): Some manufacturing Some retail trade (building materials, farm equipment, automotive) Repair or Construction Services Low intensity outdoor activities (golf courses, riding stables, parks) APZ-II: Accident Potential Zone II APZ-II Compatible Land Uses (Examples): Low density single-family residential Most retail trade Most manufacturing Plus: List shown below for APZ-I

12 Federal Aviation Regulation Part 77: Imaginary Surfaces Height limitations are reviewed by the FAA with consideration for Part 77 Surfaces These surfaces accommodate typical flight patterns and extend out from the runway approximately 10 miles 500 Above Airfield

13 Potential Encroachment Challenges Being Assessed Urban Development / Population Growth Airborne Noise Competition for air space, land, and sea space Competition for resources (oil, gas, minerals, water) Threatened and Endangered Species Maritime issues Ordnance Weapons safety areas Frequency spectrum Air quality Water quality Interpretation of historical / environmental regulations Interagency coordination Legislative initiatives that may impact training

14 What is the JLUS? A community-led initiative to review the AICUZ and make recommendations to enhance compatible land use planning. Joint Land Use Study October 30, Present Resolution No

15 Fort Worth Leadership in AICUZ Compatibility In development Building code updated to include a requirement for sound attenuation JLUS completed Local resolution of support adopted City Council, City Plan Commission, and Zoning Commission Direct City Staff to update Comp Plan and re-zone properties in APZ s Comp Plan updated Outreach to real estate community conducted ZC Multi-Family in south APZ-2 Lake Worth Vision Plan Update ZC Re-zone base property ZC Industrial Park north of Loop 820 Airport Overlay Zoning

16 Current Zoning Case Examples ZC Re-zoning of 123 properties in Southern APZ s to support long-term change from residential land use ZC Creation of Form-Based Code on Camp Bowie Blvd, to include limits on residential development in the AICUZ footprint (sound and safety)

17 Current Zoning Case Example #1 ZC Re-zoning of 123 properties in Southern APZ s to support long-term change from residential land use Represents a move toward greater long-term compatibility with DOD s mission

18 Current Zoning Case Example #2 ZC Creation of Form-Based Code on Camp Bowie Blvd, to include limits on residential development in the AICUZ footprint (sound and safety) Zoning Commission recommendation for approval with residential limitations in all impacted zones
