Chapter 25.24 — COMPREHENSIVE AIRPORT LAND USE COMPATIBILITY PLAN CONSISTENCY

Development must comply with Safety Compatibility Policies SP-1 through SP-3 of the Comprehensive Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan for the Environs of San Francisco International Airport (ALUCP) including Noise/Land Use Compatibility and Safety Compatibility Criteria listed in Tables IV-1 and IV-2 of the ALUCP. Some uses may be incompatible in certain safety zones. Refer to ALUCP Exhibit IV-9 for a map of the safety compatibility zones.

(Ord. 2000, 2021; Ord. 2046, 3/2/2026)

All new development is required to comply with the real estate disclosure requirements of State law. The following statement must be included in the notice of intention to offer the property for sale:

"Notice of Airport in Vicinity

This property is presently located in the vicinity of an airport, within what is known as an airport influence area. For that reason, the property may be subject to some of the annoyances or inconveniences associated with proximity to airport operations (for example: noise, vibration, or odors). Individual sensitivities to those annoyances can vary from person to person. You may wish to consider what airport annoyances, if any, are associated with the property before you complete your purchase and determine whether they are acceptable to you."

(Ord. 2000, 2021; Ord. 2046, 3/2/2026)

Project applicants shall be required to evaluate potential airport noise impacts if the project is located within the 65 CNEL contour line of San Francisco International Airport (as mapped in the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan for the Environs of San Francisco International Airport). All projects shall be required to mitigate impacts to comply with the interior (CNEL 45 dB or lower, unless otherwise stated) and exterior noise standards established by the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan or Burlingame General Plan, whichever is more restrictive. (Ord. 2000, 2021; Ord. 2046, 3/2/2026)

Any action that would either permit or result in the development or construction of a land use considered to be conditionally compatible with aircraft noise of CNEL 65 dB or greater (as mapped in the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan) shall include the grant of an avigation easement to the City and County of San Francisco prior to issuance of a building permit(s) for any proposed buildings or structures, consistent with Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan Policy NP-3 Grant of Avigation Easement.

BURLINGAME CODE

§ 25.24.050

Within Airport Influence Area (AIA) B, certain land use characteristics are recognized as hazards to air navigation and, per SFO ALUCP Policy AP-4, need to be evaluated to ensure compatibility with FAA rules and regulations. These characteristics include the following:

• A. Sources of glare, such as highly reflective buildings, building features, or blight lights including search lights, or laser displays, which would interfere with the vision of pilots in command of an aircraft in flight.

• B. Distracting lights that could be mistaken for airport identification lightings, runway edge lighting, runway end identification lighting, or runway approach lighting.

• C. Sources of dust, smoke, water vapor, or steam that may impair the visibility of a pilot in command of an aircraft in flight.

• D. Sources of electrical/electronic interference with aircraft communications/navigation equipment.

• E. Any use that creates an increased attraction for wildlife, particularly large flocks of birds, that is inconsistent with FAA rules and regulations, including, but not limited to, FAA Order 5200.5A, Waste Disposal Site On or Near Airports and FAA Advisory Circular 150/ 5200-33B, Hazardous Wildlife Attractants On or Near Airports and any successor or replacement orders or advisory circulars.
