APN: 211-022-026, 211-022-027, 211-071-001, 211-072-002, 211-071- 004, 211-071-005, 211-071-023, 211-071-024
Airport Zone: Zone E
Dear Ms. Eguez:
Under the delegation of the Riverside County Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) pursuant to Resolution No. 2015-01 (as extended by Resolution No. 2020-01) of the Countywide Policies of the 2004 Riverside County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan, staff reviewed City of Riverside Case No. PR-2023-001469 (General Plan Amendment, Specific Plan Amendment, Rezone, Plot Plan, Tentative Tract Map), a proposal to construct a mixed-use development consisting of 363 apartment units and a 2,000 square foot retail building on 8.48 acres located southerly of 4 th
street, easterly of Commerce Street, westerly of Park Avenue, and northerly of Mission Inn Avenue. The applicant also proposes amending the site’s General Plan land use designation from Business/Office Park to Mixed-Use Urban, and change its zoning from BMP-SP Business and Manufacturing Park and Specific Plan (Riverside Marketplace) overlay zones and BMP-SP- CR Business and Manufacturing Park, Specific P lan (Riverside Market place), and cultural resource overlay zone to MU-U Mixed Use-Urban and Specific Plan (Riverside Marketplace) overlay zone. The applicant also proposes amending the Riverside Marketplace Specific Plan to expand the Mixed-Use Marketplace Sub Area to include the subject property. The applicant also proposes to combine 13 parcels into 2 parcels.
The project is located within Compatibility Zone E of March Air Reserve Base/Inland Port Airport Influence Area (March AIA), where Zone E does not restrict residential density or non-residential intensity.
Although the project is located within the March AIA, the nearest runway is Flabob Airport, which its easterly runway elevation is 768 feet above mean sea level (AMSL). Due to the r unway length (3,200 feet), the re levant slope for notice purpose is a 50:1 surface. At a distance of approximately 12,300 feet from the project to the nearest point on the runway, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) review would be required for any structures with top of roof exceeding 1,014 feet AMSL. The project’s site elevation is 874 feet AMSL with a proposed building height of 49 feet, resulting in a top point elevation of 923 feet AMSL. Therefore, review of the building for height/elevation reasons by the FAA Obstruction Evaluation Service (FAAOES) was not required.
2 As ALUC Directo r, I hereby find the above- referenced project CONSISTENT , with the 2014 March Air Reserve Base/Inland Port Airport Land Use Compatibility P lan, subject to the following conditions:
CO
NDITIONS:
1. Any new outdoor lighting that is installed shall be hooded or shielded so as to p revent either the spillage of lumens or reflection into the sky. Outdoor lighting s hall be downward facing.
2. The following uses/activities are not included in th e proposed project and shall be prohibited at this site:
(a) Any use which would direct a steady light or flashing light of red, white, green, or amber colors associated with airport operations toward an aircraft engaged in an initial straight climb following takeoff or toward an aircraft engaged in a straight final approach toward a landing at an airport, other than an FAA -approved navigational signal light or visual approach slope indicator.
(b) Any use which would cause sunlight to be reflected towards an aircraft engaged in an initial straight climb following takeoff or towards an aircraft engaged in a straight final approach towards a landing at an airport.
(c) Any use which would generate smoke or water vapor or which would attract large concentrations of birds, or which may otherwise affect safe air navigation within the area. (Such uses include landscaping utilizing water features, aquaculture, outdoor production of cereal grains, sunflower, and row crops, composting operations , wastewater management facilities , artificial ma rshes, trash transfer stations that are open on one or more sides, recycling centers containing putrescible wastes, construction and demolition debris facilities, fly ash disposal, and incinerators
(d) Any use which would generate electrical interference that may be detrimental to the operation of aircraft and/or aircraft instrumentation.
(e) Highly noise-sensitive outdoor nonresidential uses.
(f) Any use which results in a hazard to flight, including physical (e.g., tall objects), visual, and electronic forms of interference with the safety of aircraft operations.
3. The attached “Notice of Airport in Vicinity” shall be pr ovided to all prospective purchasers and occupants of the property.
4. Any proposed stormwater basins or facilities shall be designed and maintained to provide for a maximum 48-hour detention period following the design storm, and remain totally dry between rainfalls. Vegetation in and around the stormwater basins that would provide food or cover for birds would be incompatible with airport operations and shall not be utilized in project landscaping. Trees shall be spaced so as to prevent large expanses of contiguous canopy, when mature. Landscaping in and around the stormwater basin(s) shall not include trees or shrubs that produce seeds, fruits, or berries.
Landscaping in the stormwater basin, if not rip -rap, should be in accordance with the guidance provided in ALUC “LANDSCAPING NEAR AIRPORTS” brochure, and the “AIRPORTS, WILDLIFE AND STORMWATER MANAGEMENT” brochure available at RCALUC.ORG which list acceptable plants from Riverside County Landscaping Guide or other alternative landscaping as may be recommended by a qualified wildlife hazard 3 biologist.
A notice sign, in a form similar to that attached hereto, shall be permanently affixed to the stormwater basin with the following language: “There is an airport nearby. This stormwater basin is designed to hold stormwater for only 48 hours and not attract birds.
Proper maintenance is necessary to avoid bird strikes”. The sign will also include the name, telephone number or other contact information of the person or entity responsible to monitor the stormwater basin
If you have any questions, please contact me at (951) 955-6893.
Sincerely,
RIVERSIDE COUNTY AIRPORT LAND USE COMMISSION
