BACKGROUND
On April 12, 2022, the City Council adopted the following:

3/14/2024 6:26:38 PM
C:\Program Files\eSCRIBE\TEMP\18263459932\18263459932,,,Report - Multi-Disciplinary Critical Incident Response Team.docx - Resolution No. 69-22 accepting the $481,327 Behavioral Health Justice Intervention Services (BHJIS) Project Grant from the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) for the period of February 15, 2022, through February 14, 2023, to support the implementation of the MDT. - Resolution No. 70-22, approving a contract between the City of Watsonville and Community Action Board of Santa Cruz County, Inc. a corporation, in the amount of $150,000 for the implementation of the MDT.
- Resolution No. 71-22, approving a contract between the City of Watsonville and Pajaro Valley Prevention and Student Assistance Program, Inc., a corporation, in the amount of $160,327 to support the implementation of the MDT.

On May 9, 2023, the City Council adopted the following:
- Resolution No. 77-23 accepting an additional $75,000 in grant funds from the Behavioral Health Justice Intervention Services (BHJIS) Project and extending the term of the contract through December 31, 2023.
- Resolution No. 78-23, approving first amendment to contract with Pajaro Valley Prevention and Student Assistance Program, Inc., a corporation, increasing the contract amount by $63,000 and extending the term through December 31, 2023. - Resolution No. 79-23, approving first amendment to contract with Community Action Board of Santa Cruz County, Inc. a corporation, increasing the contract amount by $12,000 and extending the term through December 31, 2023.

DISCUSSION:

Since the implementation of the Trauma Informed Multi-Disciplinary Critical Incident Response Team (MDT), the MDT has been able to address critical intervention points through which individuals with mental and substance use disorders can be diverted from criminal justice involvement. The City and the community partners recognize that the response to these traumatic incidents requires a holistic approach that can only be accomplished through collaboration. The purpose of the MDT is to assess and address trauma and provide linkages to services as needed to those individuals impacted.

In November 2023, BHJIS identified additional funding to support service delivery of existing BHJIS programs engaged in justice interventions. The Watsonville Police Department submitted a funding proposal and received a Notice of Award in January 2024 in the amount of $260,091. This augmentation of grant funds is to be used to continue work related to the direct services provided by the MDT.

PVPSA and CAB continue to provide direct services to individuals who have been impacted by substance abuse and/or a mental health crisis. The co-response team aims to improve community safety and wellness. The proposed amendments include the following contract changes:
 Extends the existing contracts through March 31, 2025.  Increases the contract amount for PVPSA by $139,091.
 Increases the contract amount for CAB by $40,000.

In addition, Monarch Services has been a program partner since the MDT was

C:\Program Files\eSCRIBE\TEMP\18263459932\18263459932,,,Report - Multi-Disciplinary Critical Incident Response Team.docx implemented and the grant funder has authorized an allocation of $50,000 for the term of January 1, 2024, through March 31, 2025, to continue their support in providing crisis intervention services for domestic violence victims. The Watsonville Police Department will also be receiving $31,000 to support a portion of the salary and benefits of the Program Coordinator assigned to oversee the MDT.

Some of the MDT goals include the following: access to care, with services at the right time, in the right environment, diverted away from the criminal justice system; engagement in whole systems capacity building; and implementation of the Trauma Informed Multi-Disciplinary Critical Team (MDT).

STRATEGIC PLAN:

The recommended actions support the Council’s priorities and objectives of:
5-Public Safety
6-Community Engagement & Well-Being
FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The BHJIS Grant does not require local match funds and has no financial impact to the general fund.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION:

No reasonable alternatives are known at this time.

FROM: AIRPORT DIRECTOR WILLIAMS

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR MERRIAM

ASST COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR MEEK
THROUGH: CITY MANAGER MENDEZ
SUBJECT: COUNCIL DIRECTION ON THE FUTURE OF WATSONVILLE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT RUNWAY 9/27
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Staff recommends that the City Council make a determination on shortening or closing the crosswind runway (Runway 9-27).

BACKGROUND:

On October 24, 2023, the City Council took action to adopt the Watsonville Municipal Airport Master Plan 2023-2043 and 2023 Airport Layout Plan update. The Airport Master Plan update is a long-range planning document that describes the future aviation and non-aviation needs of the airport and community. The Airport Layout Plan (ALP) is a set of drawings approved by the FAA that show planned capital improvements at the Airport, which must adhere to the FAA’s airport design and airspace protection criteria. As discussed during the Council meeting, the ALP shows a shortened Runway 9-27 by 870 feet to address the runway visibility issue (or “line-ofsight" requirements) previously identified by the FAA.

The City Council’s unanimous approval provides a road map for efficiently meeting aviation demand while preserving the flexibility to respond to changing industry conditions.

During the Master Plan update presentation, the Airport Director noted the FAA’s San Francisco Airport’s District Office (ADO) approved the plan update but stated Watsonville’s crosswind runway was among approximately 600 airports, across the United States, that would no longer be eligible to receive Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grants for their crosswind runways.

The rationale provided was a change in “design standards” dictated by the FAA.

The FAA San Francisco ADO determined that although the primary runway (Runway 2-20) met design standards, Runway 9-27 did not meet airport design requirements to be designated as a crosswind runway. As such, the Airport’s Crosswind Runway would be designated as an “Additional” Runway.

C:\Program Files\eSCRIBE\TEMP\19352013131\19352013131,,,Crosswind Runway.docx An Additional Runway is not eligible for AIP funding but must be maintained and supported by the sponsor in accordance with Grant Assurances, specifically Assurances 8 (Consultation with users), 9 (Public Hearings), 18 (Planning Projects), 19 (Operations and Maintenance), 21 (Compatible Land Use), 29 (Airport Layout Plan) and 34 (Policies, Standards and Specifications).

As noted during the October 24th presentation, immediately after the determination was communicated, the Airport Director informed City Management and the Community Development Department that the planned Crosswind runway threshold relocation would not be funded by the recently submitted AIP grant request.

Upon direction from City Management the Airport Director informed the City Council that the ADO determination could effectively result in three options relative to Runway 9-27 disposition.

With the General Plan Update underway and the need for the City to consider and maximize future options for the development of much needed housing and economic development, the following three options where presented:
(1) Move forward with relocating the threshold 870 feet as included in the Airport Master Plan and shown on the ALP, resulting in a 3,128-foot crosswind runway; (2) Move forward with relocating the threshold 1,590 feet, resulting in a 2,408-foot crosswind runway; and
(3) Move forward with deactivating Runway 9-27, resulting in the closure of the crosswind runway.

Staff were directed to return to the City Council by March 2024 with a detailed presentation which would offer guidance and define the required actions and activities to relocate the Crosswind Runway Threshold by 1,590 feet, resulting in a 2,408-foot crosswind runway or deactivate (i.e., close) the Crosswind Runway resulting in one runway for the Watsonville Municipal Airport.

More recently, on Saturday, February 10, 2024, was a Council Retreat to explore the development potential of various growth scenarios through 2050 and other key planning considerations as part of the General Plan Update. This 3-hour interactive meeting included the City Council and over 50 members of the public and interested stakeholders, including representatives of pilot groups. Following presentations on a range of topics concerning options for growth, their benefits and challenges, and various scenarios for Watsonville’s future, were a series of small group and facilitated discussions. The meeting provided an opportunity for the public to not only learn about future plans but also provide input directly to staff and Council members. At the conclusion of the meeting, Council directed staff to consider the second growth scenario with “Area C.” This option involves focusing on infill first, anticipating a new passenger rail station, pursuing visitor/community-serving uses in the new Highway 1 Gateway area, planning for a wide range of housing in the Buena Vista and Area C growth areas, and closing the Airport’s crosswind runway.

FAA designation of the crosswind runway as ineligible for continued funding affords the City Council an opportunity to relocate the runway threshold (thus addressing the FAA identified

3/15/2024 7:35:24 PM
C:\Program Files\eSCRIBE\TEMP\19352013131\19352013131,,,Crosswind Runway.docx safety issue) or to deactivate (close) Runway 9-27 (which removes the California Airport Land Use Handbook Safety Zones). Closing the crosswind runway would remove limitations on potential future development within City limits and previously identified growth areas (i.e., Buena Vista) affected by restrictive airport safety zone criteria.

DISCUSSION:

The following is information to consider when determining whether to relocate the threshold by 1,590 feet (shortening the runway) or deactivating the runway.

Reason for Crosswind Runway
Historically, the crosswind runway has accounted for as high as 15% of the Airport’s total flight operations. The most recent Master Plan Update (2021) noted the crosswind runway accounts for less than 2% of the Airport’s total flight operations. The percentage delta is a combination of:
(1) a general decline in aviation operations over the last twenty years, (2) the ability to more accurately account operations via satellite-based technology and (3) the fact the since 2018 takeoff operations have been severely restricted by the FAA for specific safety (line-of-sight) reasons mentioned above. Within the last two years (2022-2023) the crosswind operations have increased to 4% of total operations. The Airport believes this is the return to pre-COIVD 19 levels and an improved economy.

There are three primary factors that underscore the utility of Runway 9-27. These are: (1) Safety of Flight challenges, (2) supporting Aviation flight training and On-going operations and (3) the runway serving as the foundational component of the Airport's Emergency Aerial Support Action Plan which was instituted in 2019.

Threshold Relocation by 1,590 feet
Relocating the Crosswind Runway Threshold by 1,590 feet resulting in a 2,400-foot Crosswind Runway would alleviate the current Runway Visibility Zone (RVZ) issue which is restricting departures (Take-Offs) from Runway 27. Relocating the threshold would require amendment, adjustment, and updating of the Airport Master and Airport Layout Plans to reflect the new configuration.

The Airport Safety Zones for the crosswind runway affect the development potential of land within City limits, such as along Freedom Boulevard, and in the Buena Vista future growth area.

With the retention of the Crosswind Runway, approximately 212 acres of developable area in Buena Vista would remain undevelopable due to Safety zones 2-4. These 212 acres are mostly flat and easier to develop than other hillier parts of Buena Vista. Further, the way that the Safety zones bisect the Buena Vista growth area will make development segmented, and ultimately more costly due to the inability to construct contiguous neighborhoods.

Reduction of the Crosswind Runway length by 1,590 feet would allow for additional development near the Freedom Boulevard/Green Valley intersection, including the Kmart shopping center and 4-acre vacant parcel on Green Valley Road.

C:\Program Files\eSCRIBE\TEMP\19352013131\19352013131,,,Crosswind Runway.docx Closure of the Crosswind Runway
Deactivating the Crosswind Runway, resulting in only one runway, would likely have a modest, if not marginal impact on most aircraft operations. Although the paved surfaces would not be available for takeoffs and landings, the surface would be available for yet to be defined or developed aviation uses. Closing the Crosswind Runway would require amendment, adjustment, and updating of the Airport Master and Airport Layout Plans to reflect the new configuration.

Buena Vista: Closure of the Crosswind Runway will free up development in Buena Vista, which could accommodate 1,320 units over the next 25 years, with a maximum potential of approximately 4,300 units. The removal of safety zones 2-4 on the Buena Vista side allows for cohesive development pattern and significantly more units. Commercial development on Freedom Boulevard would only be limited by restrictions in Safety Zone 6.

Future Growth Projections
Growth projections are being developed as part of the General Plan Update process. The amount of anticipated growth is important to estimate needed housing, grow the local economy, and plan for how utilities can accommodate this growth. At the February 10 Council Retreat, Staff presented recommended development projections through 2050 of 5,980 dwelling units and 3.2 million square-feet of non-residential development. These figures consider the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (“RHNA”) figure of 2,053 dwelling units that the City is planning to accommodate in the next eight years as part of the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update. Staff expect the City will have to plan for accommodating a similar amount of new housing through the 7th and 8th cycles as well (i.e., through 2050).

These figures represent growth beyond past trends. As compared with AMBAG’s growth projections, the number of housing units being planned is approximately three times the number of housing units anticipated by AMBAG. A key reason for this difference is because AMBAG’s figures do not account for the RHNA figures or any advanced planning work yet to be adopted.

In addition, AMBAG’s forecasts are projecting slower growth because of recent demographic trends suggesting declining birth rates, declining family formation rates, increasing household formation rates at older age groups, declining household sizes, and possibly increasing outmigration.

SUMMARY:

As outlined in this report, the crosswind runway provides an additional option for pilots in taking off and landing at the airport in the relatively infrequent instance in which the wind is blowing perpendicular to the main runway. Relocation of the threshold or closure of Runway 9-27 will reduce the options pilots will have to take off and land safely at the Watsonville Municipal Airport, however the data shows that the runway accounts for only 4% of total operations (2022-2023).

When considering the varied needs of the Watsonville community, the Airport is but one piece of a very large and complex puzzle that includes regulatory mandates related to transportation, housing, and greenhouse gas reductions among the needs and desires of the community at large. The community has signaled that a big priority is the provision of a variety of housing types, from studio apartments to single family residences. To accommodate single family

3/15/2024 7:35:24 PM
C:\Program Files\eSCRIBE\TEMP\19352013131\19352013131,,,Crosswind Runway.docx residential development, the City must look outside our boundaries, and the one future growth area that exists within the City’s Urban Growth Boundary is Buena Vista.

With the relocation of the Runway 9-27 threshold, development opportunities will continue to be stunted, as it is today, due to a large area in the middle of Buena Vista located within Safety Zones 2-4. This “hole” in the future growth area will prevent a cohesive development pattern, limit the number of units that could be built, and result in more costly development (economy of scale).

Closure of Runway 9-27 would remove safety zones on the east and western side of the airport. freeing up development of Buena Vista and resulting in fewer development restrictions in safety zone 6 on the eastern side of the Airport.

The Airport Master Plan reflects a pathway to extend the main runway and develop and improve the airport to increase its viability and enhance its potential. Regardless of the option directed by the Council, directing staff to bring back future extension of the runway and development of the airport should be considered.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

The decision to relocate the threshold or close the Crosswind Runway aligns with the Council’s priorities for housing and economic development as outlined in the 2023-2025 Strategic Plan.

While the economic benefits of the Airport cannot be negated, this should be balanced with the fact that the Airport Master Plan provides a pathway to extend the main runway and develop the airport, thereby enhance its economic development potential. Furthermore, shortening or closing the Crosswind Runway may not be as detrimental to the Airport in the long term as the economic benefits that development in the north Freedom corridor and Buena Vista will provide to the community. In addition, closure of the Crosswind Runway will unlock the full development potential of Buena Vista, resulting in the eventual development of thousands of housing units.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Relocating the Crosswind Runway Threshold by 1,590 feet resulting in a 2,400-foot Crosswind Runway would likely take twenty-four months with a yet to be determined cost but likely $500,000 funded by the Airport enterprise Fund.

Deactivating the Runway, resulting in only one runway will require at least four years to complete with an unknown cost, however that cost is substantially higher than the cost of a threshold relocation. Such deactivation would be funded by City’s and not the Airport Enterprise Fund as use of these funds would be a violation of Grant Assurance 19 (Operations and Maintenance) and 25 (Airport Revenues).

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council may choose to accept the Airport Master Plan’s original proposal for an 870- foot reduction, resulting in a 3,128-foot crosswind runway.

Roles and Responsibilities
FAA – Manages the national civil aviation system through the regulation of aircraft, aeronautical activities, and facilities.

Caltrans Division of Aeronautics (Division) – Supports the statewide aviation system through State regulations, funding programs and subject matter expertise for promoting safety, airport land use compatibility, economic value of aviation, and a fully -integrated multimodal transportation system.

City of Watsonville - as sponsor of the federally obligated property ensures the facility serves as an airport in perpetuity. The FAA has a statutory mandate to ensure sponsors comply with grant obligations.

These obligations ensure that the public’s interest in civil aviation is served

During the airport’s initial construction during the World War II era the Civil Aeronautics Administration (precursor to the FAA) determined that a Watsonville cross wind runway was required for purposes of effective and efficient aeronautical activities.

The wind's direction and speed greatly affect crosswind landings and takeoffs.

When the wind is blowing perpendicular to the runway, it creates a crosswind component that can make landings and takeoffs challenging.

The strength of the crosswind also plays a significant role.

Dear Mr. Williams,
RE: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Conditional Approval for Watsonville Municipal Airport (WVI) Airport Layout Plan (ALP) Drawing Set and Runway Type Categorization Determination;
Airspace Case Study No. 2023-AWP-2090-NRA
The San Francisco Airports District Office (SFO-ADO) has completed the final review of the Watsonville Municipal Airport updated Airport Layout Plan (ALP) drawing set. Accordingly, a Conditional Approval is issued for the subject ALP, dated August 22, 2023. A signed copy of the approved ALP is enclosed.

An aeronautical study, Airspace Case Study No. 2023-AWP-2090-NRA was conducted on the proposed development depicted on the ALP. This determination does not constitute FAA approval or disapproval of the physical development involved in the proposal. It is a determination with respect to the safe and efficient use of navigable airspace by aircraft and with respect to the safety of persons and property on the ground.

This approval considers only the safety, utility, and efficiency of the airport.

In making this determination, the FAA has considered matters such as the effects the proposal would have on existing or planned traffic patterns of neighboring airports, the effects it would have on the existing airspace structure and projected programs of the FAA, the effects it would have on the safety of persons and property on the ground, and the effects that existing or proposed manmade objects (on file with the FAA), and known natural objects within the affected area would have on the airport proposal.

The FAA has only limited means to prevent the construction of structures near an airport. The airport sponsor has the primary responsibility to protect the airport environs through such means as local zoning ordinances, property acquisition, avigation easements, letters of agreement or other means.

This ALP approval is conditioned on acknowledgement that any development on airport property requiring Federal environmental approval must receive such written approval from FAA prior to commencement of the subject development. This ALP approval is also conditioned on Attachment 2

2 acceptance of the plan under local land use laws. We encourage appropriate agencies to adopt land use and height restrictive zoning based on the plan.

Approval of the plan does not indicate that the United States will participate in the cost of any development proposed. AIP funding requires evidence of eligibility and justification at the time a funding request is ripe for consideration. When construction of any proposed structure or development indicated on the plan is undertaken, such construction requires normal 45-day advance notification to FAA for review in accordance with applicable Federal Aviation Regulations (i.e., Parts 77, 157, 152, etc.). More notice is generally beneficial to ensure that all statutory, regulatory, technical and operational issues can be addressed in a timely manner.

Please be advised, the proposed Northeast parcel swap will require an FAA Compliance determination for any land release of dedicated airport property. We recommend further refinement of the future parcel data descriptions in the Exhibit “A” Airport Property Map, along with description of intended aeronautical or non-aeronautical uses of the proposed future parcel acquisition.

Further, the FAA has completed review of the sponsor’s request for runway eligibility determination. The FAA determined that the Primary Runway 02/20 meets FAA airport design standards requirements for allowable crosswind component for the Runway Design Code (RDC). As such, Runway 09/27 does not meet the airport design requirements to be designated as a Crosswind Runway. Further, the Primary Runway 02/20 does not currently meet the 60% Annual Service Volume (ASV) threshold to necessitate Runway 09/27 as a Secondary Runway. The airport’s published RNAV (GPS) and LOC procedures allow for operations during IFR conditions at this facility. Accordingly, the airport’s rationale does not sufficiently meet the criteria in the FAA Order 5100.38D, Airport Improvement Handbook and the runway type categorization for Runway 09/27 is considered an Additional Runway and AIP ineligible at this time.

Please attach this letter to the FAA-approved Airport Layout Plan and retain it for your records.

Dear Mayor Quiroz-Carter,
I am sharing the attached letter, with endorsements, as the official statement from the Watsonville Pilots Association regarding the crosswind runway at Watsonville Municipal Airport. There are many points I hope you will consider. I understand that the county is facing a difficult housing mandate from the State, and when I examine the safety zones around the 860 ft. runway shortening option (WPA and WAAC's recommendation), I believe it can be compatible and coexist with the development the City is considering. I am also hoping to have some open discussions with the planning dept. in the next few weeks to better understand the City's needs and help facilitate a solution.

I would love the opportunity to meet with you in person some time to discuss the contents of our letter or any other topic.I was hoping to meet you at the City Council Open House in February, but couldn't find the right time in all the activity going on. It was a busy and productive meeting! Maybe we could meet for lunch? Please feel free to reach out any time by email, phone or text.

Thank you for your time and attention on this important matter.

Watsonville City Council
City Hall
250 Main Street
Watsonville, CA 95076
Subject: Save runway 9-27 at Watsonville Municipal Airport Dear Watsonville City Council,
The Watsonville Pilots Association, undersigned organizations and individuals are writing to express our deep concerns about the City of Watsonville considering closure or undue shortening of runway 9-27 at Watsonville Municipal Airport. This runway is essential to aviation safety, the regional transportation infrastructure, and the airport community.

Since 2019, there has been an accepted plan to shorten the runway by 860 feet which remedies an existing runway visibility issue, allows for more development under shortened safety zones, all while still allowing adequate usage of the runway. This plan was approved by the FAA after exhaustive research by the airport administration, integrated into the 2023 Airport Master Plan, approved by the Watsonville City Council, and found to be the only option that met FAA and airport compatibility criteria. This plan has also been endorsed by the Watsonville Pilots Association and all other businesses and stakeholders that have endorsed this letter.

Additionally, we agree with the Santa Cruz County Grand Jury Final Report, which, as an independent oversight body, concluded that runway 09-27 is “critical to the vitality and efficacy of Watsonville Municipal Airport”. It would benefit the Airport and the community if the City Council would approve the 860 foot option as outlined in the 2023 Airport Master Plan and for which the entire aviation community in Watsonville agrees is the best option to move forward.

Safety First: The future of Watsonville Municipal Airport should always consider safety as the number one priority. The airport currently has two runways, 02-20 and 09-27 with runway 02-20 as the main runway. Due to the proximity to Monterey Bay, a low fog layer often extends over the main runway, impacting its usability drastically leaving runway 09-27 as the only viable and safe alternative during Watsonville’s unique weather conditions. The complete closure of runway 09-27 removes the safety option pilots rely upon when trying to return or depart Watsonville when weather becomes an unforeseen impediment to safe flight .

Another option considered by the City Council, namely shortening runway 09-27 by 1,580 feet, would reduce the length of the runway below acceptable safety margins for many aircraft and increase the risk of accidents. It would also force takeoffs climbing at lower altitudes over existing populated areas, increasing noise levels and causing more incompatibility between the airport and residents, not less.

Economic Impact: Watsonville Municipal Airport plays an essential role in the regional economy. The businesses and pilot training facilities that operate within and around the airport

depend heavily on the functionality of all runways, especially runway 9-27. Its closure or adverse shortening could result in significant economic losses and job reductions. Watsonville Airport’s economic benefit to our region is approx. $67M/year, $27.2M/year in payroll, $9.1M/year in taxes.

Education: Watsonville Airport provides a significant amount of pilot training, including training for commercial pilots and mechanics. As such, the airport provides opportunities for our youth in the community–just like other educational facilities. The Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) hosts monthly events, seminars and free introductory flights to educate our local youth with STEM opportunities in aviation, aerospace and many other fields. The Pajaro Valley Aviation Academy has provided over $160,000 in scholarships to our local youth. These activities require the airport’s runways being fully intact, especially given our weather conditions.

Regional Transportation & Emergency Access: The Watsonville Municipal Airport, including runway 9-27, serves as a vital regional hub for transportation and an essential point of entry for business, medical, emergency, and recreational flights. It was a base of operations for CalFire helicopters during the 2020 CZU Lightning Complex fire. Our airport hosted President Joe Biden, Gov. Gavin Newsom, U.S. Senator Padilla, Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren, Congressman Jimmy Panetta and the FEMA director when they came to survey damage from the 2023 storms. Watsonville Airport is also the base of operations for the Watsonville Emergency Airlift Command Team (WEACT) and CalStar, a non-profit air medical transportation company.

Community Engagement and Tourism: The airport hosts many annual community events and activities, and its continued operation as-is ensures that these events can be sustained, bringing in tourism and keeping the community engaged and informed.

Future Growth: As the city and region continue to grow, transportation infrastructure, including our airport runways, will become even more critical. Closing or severely shortening runway 9-27 may impede potential future growth opportunities. The airport’s importance as part of such infrastructure will continue to rise.

In closing, we sincerely hope the comments provided in this letter outline the due diligence we must all consider as we look to the future of the Watsonville Airport. I think we can all agree that safety should be the number one priority and drive the future conversations of what is being proposed. This proposal is not just about moving asphalt or dirt from the airport. It’s about fundamentally changing how the operations of the airport will proceed in the future. It will also remove a critical component to safety and the broader economic impacts the airport provides to the City of Watsonville and the surrounding communities.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Subject: Watsonville Airport Crosswind Runway (please keep it) Date: Tuesday, March 19, 2024 8:22:49 AM
Good morning Ari,
I'm writing to you this morning to support keeping the crosswind runway at the airport.

Our local airport being the only airport in the county should be persevered, protected, and promoted in nearly any way possible. Although the crosswind runway does not get used often, it's there when they need it, making the approach safer for everyone.

The removal, in my opinion, would be short sighted and a step towards getting rid of the airport all together. The airport is a vital service now and especially in times of crisis. This county would have been much worse off during the '89 earthquake without our airport and all of it's capacity.

Thank you for your service and your time,
Steven Bennett

From: Paco Estrada
To: City Council; cityclerk
Subject: Public Comment on item 12a - March 19th City Council Meeting Date: Tuesday, March 19, 2024 1:08:50 PM
Greetings Mayor Quiroz-Carter and members of the Watsonville City Council:

My name is Francisco Estrada, and I am a resident of District 4 (Kristal Salcido). I would like to offer my public comments on item 12a regarding the future of the municipal airport's short runway.

I am in favor of any proposed plan to close the short runway that will no longer be eligible for funding. I believe that the proposal is a fair compromise to this complex issue that will help balance a few needs and concerns, including (most importantly) adding much needed housing to our community. Although the proposed action does not guarantee that housing will be built and made affordable to residents looking to purchase a home in their own community, it will at least provide some flexibility and some opportunities to achieve some version of the American Dream for many.

Additionally, as is my understanding, the purpose of the airport was to serve the nation during World War II. War is something that should not be sanctified and the US government during that time took actions that were either unconstitutional or racially motivated to meet their wartime objectives. The community provided the land, its sons and daughters, it shamelessly deprived American citizens of rights and sent them to prison camps, but the war was eventually won. Watsonville did its duty, and although the airport served its purposes and many others since then, I do believe that it is time to return the land to the community and repurpose it for today's needs, not for the needs of 1941 or the privileged few.

We know that housing is the most fundamental and urgent matter that should be prioritized by our elected officials, especially in support of GenX, Millennial, and GenZ talent/families that continue to leave the community they love and feel abandoned by the upper classes and previous generations that have not fulfilled their end of the generational social contract (to leave the planet in a better state than how you found it). Affordable homes for families are needed, but middle and flexible housing options for young professionals and retiring seniors are most needed and missing to help in the health and development of an important sect of the overall population. I also think the view out in that 300-acre area is breathtaking, and adding commercial and park space can only enhance the quality of life for residents living nearby, as opposed to the status quo.

Although advocates for the airport will claim that the airport is an economic engine, it's really not. I love what Director Williams (I have the utmost respect for the Director) has done to promote the airport and his staff, but I don't think the constituents/clients of the airport have ever acted in good faith or in benefit of the greater community good. There are some local pilots that love aviation and I admire them for their passion, but if you take a good look at the composition of governing bodies advocating for the airport, you'll quickly see that they do not represent the 82% Latino community living in overcrowded conditions and that desperately needs housing, schools, parks, and commercial spaces. It's a shame that people cannot have the opportunity to purchase a home in their own community or even have the opportunity to fulfill Watsonville's biggest dream of having an In-N-Out. I'm not saying it will automatically happen, but it'll improve Watsonville's profile and it's off the highway, which I assume shouldn't impact an already busy traffic scene down on Freedom Blvd or Main Street since it's already off Highway 1. And with the apparent success of Measure N, a fully modernized Watsonville Community Hospital will be at the heart of this area and begin to play an integral role in supporting good community health.

The only thing I do ask the Council to do before setting forward on this path is to really think about things and cross all your t's and dot all your i's. Be transparent, timely, inclusive and honest. If you need and can table, consider if necessary. I appreciate and commend your efforts thus far, but regardless what you decide today, I still do believe that the City will face litigation for its decision. I'm basing this assumption on history, not my personal bias. So be bold, thoughtful, and empathetic.

Please consider the removal of the short runway as the first phase to the eventual closure of the municipal airport. I am grateful for its contributions to our community, but it has also been an obstacle and anchor with a net negative for this community. My email is already long and I didn't even get into addressing the environmental benefits or socioeconomic factors, or how this publicly funded department contributes to the already ingrained inequity and racism of this City, but there are many many reasons to support the removal of the runaway (and airport in the future) and I honestly can go on and on. Even if it takes 20 years, it's the better option.

Thank you for your considering my thoughts on the matter and I hope to see you at the meeting. Good luck determining your decision.

Best,
Francisco Estrada

The future of runway 09/27

1. Analysis and summary
a. Deactivation of runway 09/27 would allow for a maximum of 711 housing units, of which 345 units in Buena Vista are highly unlikely to be realized due to potential annexation process, infrastructure challenges, likely oppos ition by Friends of Buena Vista.
b. Net benefit of deactivating runway 09/27 appears to be a potential for a maximum of 366 housing units near Freedom Blvd., however at a cost of $1.SM for the city.
c. The benefit appears to be quite small given the cost. d. Planning issues due to Airport Safety Zones may be reduced in future planned update to Caltrans Airport Land Use Plann ing Handbook (See GASP 2020: " Regulatory updates to balance land use and housing issues with airport viability").
e. Caltrans is aware that old Handbook causes issues statewide. Caltrans has indicated willingness to work with city.
f. In summary, expenditure of $1.5M for deactivation of runway appears premature, given that safety zone definition and interpretation may cha nge. $1.5M could likely be spent in a better way for the com munity (e.g., on lowincome housing).

2. Recommendations
a. Based on above, I recommend to not take action to deactivate runway 09/27.
b. Instead, I suggest that planners and airport stakeholders (grou p of CDD, WAAC, Airport Management) are directed to work together with Caltrans to identify the best solution in transparent and balanced way. This should include a potential extension of runway 02/20. A common report should be prepared and provided to City Council.
c. Until solution is found, I suggest to either a) postpone a decision on runway 09/27 orb) proceed with approved plan of shortening by 870 feet. In either way, the full pavement of 09/27 should stay in place for emergencies.

The future of runway 09/27
Brief summary of options

1. Shortening of runway 09/27 by 870 feet
- Already in Airport Master Plan. Approved by FAA, Caltrans. Fastest path forward.

Opens up substantial part of Freedom Blvd. area by moving safety zones.

Cost for reconfiguration is paid for by Airport Enterprise Fund - no cost to city.

2. Shortening of runway 09/27 by 1590 feet
- Time for realization: approx. 24 months
- Allows for additional development near the Freedom Boulevard/Green Valley intersection.

Cost for reconfiguration: estimated at $500,000, paid by Airport Enterprise Fund - no cost to city.

3. Deactivation of runway 09/27
- Time for realization: at least 4 years
Additional potential housing units, compared with sh ortening by 1590 feet:

North Freedom:

Buena Vista:

Total:
230- 366
290- 345
520- 711
Cost: estimated $1,500,000- payable by city (per FAA ru les, cannot be paid by Airport Enterprise Fund)

Subject: Fwd: Observations on the Planning Dept's Presentation I wanted to bring to your attention some observations. If this gets to you, maybe you could bring these questions up to the planning dept?
The presentation is claiming that eliminating the crosswind runway would open up from 17,000 to potentially 210,000sq.ft of retail space, or 0.5 to 'potentially' 4.5 acres. ...which is basically this area in blue. The vast majority of the potential acreage is a single property in the upper left, Monument Lumber.

Shortening or eliminating the crosswind runway does not open this area circled below to development, as this slide suggests. It is already developed: Home Depot and its parking lot.

Moving the Threshold to 1580 feet places the turning zone directly over the new housing development in progress.

Notice that the 860 foot option still allows for most of the development the City is looking for.

The blue area is zone 4 and allows for restaurants, retail, industrial and low density housing. e.g. KMart could be redeveloped into mixed use as it's not under zone 4. Over half of the 4 acre parcel could be developed into residential with the 860 option.

There is also the possibility that infill at up to average density/intensity of comparable surrounding uses within these safety zones could be acceptable under CalTrans, in which case the City would be able to do 95% of what they wanted with the 860 foot option, but the City and the WPA must have the extra time to come to a settlement to the 2.5 year old lawsuit and finish working out these specific details that will go into the General Plan. Accepting a 1580 foot shortening prematurely would overly compromise safety and usability outlined in our letter, burden the City with unnecessary costs and unknowns while providing minimal or possibly inconsequential additional housing and business opportunities.

Closing the runway would only open up 0.5 to potentially 4.5 acres of additional commercial space, and potentially 500-700 additional residential units.

Thank you so much for your time.

Subject: Aircraft of Historical Significance Exemption – Property Tax – California State Board of Equalization
Here’s one reason the hundreds of expensive planes based at the airport only generate $51,000 in property tax for the City. A large number of them are deemed historic and receive a tax exemption.

Subject: Who uses the City airport?
Dear Council,
This is an answer you should know and care about as decision makers for the residents of the City of Watsonville. Users from out of north Monterrey County, Santa Cruz, Capitola, Aptos, La Selva and even Corralitos, may not understand or feel the unique pressures on our City in regards to housing, job creation, infrastructure operations, land use planning, public safety, tax and revenue generation.

No fault of their own, but they might not experience overcrowded neighborhoods, low wage jobs, lack of education, and the unique socioeconomic and linguistic cultural subsets that City residents live with daily. And thus, those who live outside our incorporated municipality may have a different perspective in meeting the needs, hopes, and challenges of our residents.

Let’s remember who really lives in our city, who votes in our 7 districts, and the true needs of those you directly represent.

Thank for your work.
