Airport Land Use Compatibility Overlay Zone

The City adopted a new airport related overlay zone that applies to the MCAS Miramar, Brown Field Municipal Airport, Gillespie Field, and Montgomery Field airport influence areas (effective January 3, 2012). The new overlay zone was established in response to actions taken by the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority to adopt Airport Land Use Compatibility Plans (ALUCPs) pursuant to state law.

The Airport Land Use Compatibility Overlay Zone was adopted by the City Council via two ordinances (provided below), which identify the regulations and process for airport land use compatibility review within the MCAS Miramar, Brown Field Municipal Airport, Gillespie Field, and Montgomery Field airport influence areas (effective January 3, 2012):
