9 Incompatibility Comparison
•Existing permitted commercial use is 192,139 sf. which is an inconsistent use based on average acre and single acre intensities. •An apples-to-apples comparison of total number of people shows that our proposed project is less intensive than the existing commercial use.

Noise
•The RMA ALUCP provides the CNEL considered normally acceptable for new residential uses in the vicinity of RMA is 65 dBA. The Project site is approximately one mile from the end of the RMA Runway 9/27. The RMA ALUCP depicts the site as being below the 60 CNEL range from aircraft noise. Therefore, ALUC found no special measures were required to mitigate aircraft-generated noise.•We agree with the condition to record an avigation easement on the title of the property and provide “Airport in the Vicinity” disclosure notification to all residents of the Project. 17 18 9/12/2024

19 Safety
•An analysis of aircraft accidents with RAL as either a departure or arrival point, from the NTSB database, dating back to 2001, shows that there were 13, of which 9 were off airport property, identified as 5 Departures and 4 Arrivals. None of these accidents occurred over the proposed project area, or on the final approach course and were mostly concentrated to the south and southwest (NTSB, 2024). The Riverside airport traffic count from 1/2001 through 12/2023 was 2,107,661, with 9 off-airport accidents, that’s a rate of approximately 0.000427%.•The overall safety record of aircraft operations on and around the Airport and the improving national trends in general aviation safety over the last 20 years argue toward one of the safest activities in the community.
