AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING CHAPTER 12.04 OF THE RIVERSIDE MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING AIRPORT REGULATIONS AND AMENDING SECTION 12.14.025 REGARDING INCURSIONS INTO AIRCRAFT MOVEMENT AREAS.
The City Council of the City of Riverside, California, does ordain as follows:
Section 1: Section 12.04.055 of the Riverside Municipal Code entitled “Animals” is added as follows:
“Section 12.04.055 Animals.
All domesticated animals must be on a leash or otherwise restrained.” Section 2: Section 12.04.060 of the Riverside Municipal Code is amended as follows:
“Section 12.04.060 Commercial and business activities require permits and licenses.
Commercial vendors not based at the Airport must comply with the commercial airport vendors policy. No person shall use the airport as a base for the carrying on of commercial and business activities, for the carrying for hire of passengers, freight, express or mail, for instruction in aviation in any of its branches, for the sale of fuels, refreshments or any commodity or service or for any other commercial purpose unless a lease, permit or license to conduct such business on the airport has been granted by the City. All business activity shall conform to the minimum standards established by the City.
Events to which the public will be invited require a Special Event Permit from the City.
If a tenant intends to invite an off-airport vendor or contractor to the Airport, contact the Airport Manager’s office to confirm that this vendor has a City of Riverside business license, as well as the proper insurance. Tenants that provide Airport access to a vendor are responsible for their behavior while on Airport property. The vendor will be under escort by the tenant until escorted off airport property.” Section 3: Section 12.14.025B of the Riverside Municipal Code is amended as follows:
“Section 12.14.025 Incursions into aircraft movement areas.
B. An aircraft movement area is any portion of the tarmac, taxiway, runway or ramp designated by the airport specifically for and restricted to the movement of aircraft along the ground. Aircraft movement areas are clearly marked with signs adjacent to taxiway entrances and warnings stenciled on the surface of the adjacent tarmac. A red line delineates the area off limits to vehicles. Vehicles crossing the red line will immediately lose gate card privileges, requiring specific training, education, and Airport manager approval to rectify. Taxiing aircraft are permitted to cross the red line without restriction. Likewise, aircraft under tow are permitted to cross the red line without restriction. The following authorized vehicles are also permitted to cross the red line: Airport Operations, Fuel Truck, Waste collection vehicles, Riverside Fire Department, Riverside Police Department.” Section 4: The City Council has reviewed the matter and, based upon the facts and information contained in the staff reports, administrative record, and written and oral testimony, hereby finds that this ordinance is not subject to CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) (General Rule), as it can be seen with certainty that approval of the project will not have an effect on the environment.
Section 5: The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance and cause publication once in a newspaper of general circulation in accordance with Section 414 of the Charter of the City of Riverside. This Ordinance shall become effective on the 30th day after the date of its adoption.
