Safety compatibility between airport operations and proposed development within Review Area 1 of this overlay zone shall be evaluated in accordance with this Section.

(a) Relative aircraft accident risk exposure for property surrounding an airport is
identified on Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan safety zone maps set forth
in Table 132-15F, prepared and adopted by the Airport Land Use Commission
for each airport, and filed in the office of the City Clerk. Adopted safety zone
maps identified in Table 132-15F and applicable safety compatibility tables
shall be used to determine land use compatibility in accordance with Section
132.1515(b).

Table 132-15F
Adopted Safety Zone Maps

(b) Development in any Review Area 1 shall be considered compatible with
respect to safety as follows:

(1) The proposed development is consistent with the use and development
regulations of the underlying base zone, including required development
permits as applicable.

Ch. Art. Div. 13 2 15 30

San Diego Municipal Code Chapter 13: Zones (10-2024)

(2) The proposed development is permitted within the designated safety
zone, as applicable, or is compatible infill development in accordance
with Section 132.1540

(3) The proposed development complies with the maximum residential
density and non-residential intensity regulations for all applicable safety
zones, as measured in accordance with Section 132.1515(c), or is
compatible infill development in accordance with Section 132.1540.

(4) Compatible development may be approved with a construction permit,
except where the development otherwise requires a development permit.

(c) Rules for calculation and measurement of safety compatibility.

The intent is to measure the total number of dwelling units for a proposed residential development and the total intensity (people per acre) for a proposed non-residential development to determine compliance with the applicable safety zone. Uses that are identified as permitted in a safety zone are presumed to comply with the limits for that safety zone. Uses that are identified as a limited use or require a development permit in accordance with Tables 132-15G, 132-15H, 132-15I, or 132-15J shall be subject to a calculation of density or intensity as follows:

(1) Residential development density

(A) For the purpose of this section, the total number of people for a
residential development shall be measured in terms of dwelling
units per acre. The total proposed density (including any density
bonus in accordance with Chapter 14, Article 3, Divisions 7 and
10) for new residential development shall comply with the
maximum dwelling units per acre specified in the applicable
safety compatibility table. Accessory Dwelling Units and Junior
Accessory Dwelling Units are not dwelling units included in the
density calculation of a development.

(B) Maximum densities indicated in Tables 132-15G and 132-15H
are calculated as dwelling units per gross acre on a site-wide
average.

Ch. Art. Div.
13 2 15 31

San Diego Municipal Code Chapter 13: Zones (10-2024)

(C) Within the San Diego International Airport influence area,
Tables 132-15I and 132-15J identify the maximum densities.
The average residential density is determined by dividing the
number of proposed dwelling units by the net acreage of the
development premises. Net acreage does not include land
dedicated for public purposes such as streets and public parks.

(D) Except for mixed-use development within the San Diego
International Airport influence area, residential density
limitations shall not be equated to the maximum intensity
(people per acre) limits for non-residential uses.

(E) Residential development that requires a Site Development Permit for safety compatibility in accordance with Section 126.0502(c)(8) shall be designed as follows:

(i) Dwelling units shall be located to minimize safety
hazards by taking maximum advantage of the
topography and other site design features; and

(ii) Dwelling units shall be clustered to provide the
maximum amount of open land; however, the minimum
dimensions of the open land shall be 75 feet by 300 feet,
with a maximum slope of 5 percent.

(2) Non-residential development intensity

(A) The total number of people for a non-residential development
shall be measured in terms of intensity (people per acre). Non-
residential development shall comply with the maximum
intensity specified in the applicable safety compatibility table.

(B) The intensity (people per acre) of a non-residential development
is equivalent to the ratio of the calculated number of people for
the development divided by the acreage of the premises.

(C) Maximum intensities indicated in each safety table are
calculated as people per gross acre on a site-wide average,
except in the San Diego International Airport, the Brown Field
Municipal Airport, and Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport
influence areas, where maximum intensities are calculated in
terms of people per net acre of the development.

Ch. Art. Div. 13 2 15 32

San Diego Municipal Code Chapter 13: Zones (10-2024)

(D) There are a variety of methods available to estimate the number
of people associated with a non-residential development, and
therefore proposed development shall comply with either:

(i) The maximum floor area ratio indicated in the safety
compatibility table; or

(ii) The maximum intensity (people per acre) limits and maximum lot coverage where specified in the applicable safety compatibility table. Lot coverage shall be calculated in accordance with Section 113.0240.

(E) For the purpose of this section, floor area ratio shown in Tables
132-15G, 132-15H, 132-15I, and 132-15J may be used to
estimate the number of people by dividing the square footage of
the proposed use by the square feet per occupant typically
associated with the proposed use category, as listed in the
applicable safety compatibility table and as set forth further
below:

(i) When a mix of non-residential uses are proposed from
more than one use category, the maximum floor area
ratio for each use shall be calculated as a proportion of
the total floor area ratio allowable for the respective
safety zone. For example, a development containing a
mix of office (70 percent of total development square
footage) and retail (30 percent of total development
square footage) would be limited to 70 percent of the
floor area ratio allowable for office as indicated in the
applicable safety compatibility table, and 30 percent of
the allowable floor area ratio for retail as indicated in
the applicable safety compatibility table.

(ii) Non-residential accessory uses permitted in accordance
with Section 131.0125 may exempt up to 10 percent of
the total floor area from the people per acre calculation
where the accessory use is neither an assembly room
designed to accommodate more than 650 people, nor an
institutional use identified as “not permitted” in the
designated safety zone.

Ch. Art. Div.
13 2 15 33

San Diego Municipal Code Chapter 13: Zones (10-2024)

(iii) Gross floor area shall be calculated in accordance with Section 113.0234; however, parking garages may be excluded from the calculation of gross floor area.

(F) As an alternative to Section 132.1515(c)(2)(E), a development
permit may be recorded to demonstrate compliance with the
maximum number of people in the applicable safety zone.

(i) Where a Site Development Permit is required in
accordance with Table 132-15F or 132-15G, the
applicant shall demonstrate compliance with the
maximum intensity (people per acre) of the safety zone
through project design. Permit conditions may be added
as necessary to ensure compliance with the maximum
people per acre.

(ii) For all other uses where an alternative method to floor
area ratio would provide a more accurate estimate of the
associated number of people, a Neighborhood
Development Permit may be requested in accordance
with Section 132.1515(d).

(3) Mixed-use development intensity

(A) For a proposed mixed-use development within the Brown Field
Municipal Airport and Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport
influence areas, the residential and non-residential portions of
the development are allowed a proportionate share of the
respective allowable density or intensity of the safety zone. The
residential portion shall not exceed the allowable residential
density for the safety zone in accordance with Section
132.1515(c)(1), and the non-residential portion shall not exceed
the allowable intensity for the safety zone in accordance with
Section 132.1515(c)(2).

(B) For a mixed-use development in the San Diego International
Airport influence area:

(i) The residential density limits in Table 132-15I and Table 132-15J do not apply, but the total number of residential dwelling units shall not exceed half the maximum of the non-residential intensity limit in Table 132-15I and Table 132-15J.

Ch. Art. Div. 13 2 15 34

San Diego Municipal Code Chapter 13: Zones (10-2024)

(ii) For a development with a mix of residential and non-
residential uses, the number of people per acre shall be
calculated by dividing the number of proposed dwelling
units by the net acreage of the site. The dwelling units
per acre is then multiplied by the persons per household
multiplier for the safety zone identified in Table 132-15I
or Table 132-15J to determine the equivalent number of
people per acre for the residential portion of the
development. The people per acre for the residential
development portion shall be added to the calculated
non-residential people per acre. The total shall not
exceed the maximum number of people per acre for the
corresponding safety zone in Table 132-15I or Table
132-15J.

(iii) For an applicant requesting a density bonus pursuant to
California Government Code Section 65915 and Chapter
14, Article 3, Divisions 7 and 10 of the San Diego
Municipal Code for a mixed-use development in Safety
Zones 2E – Uptown, 3NE – Uptown, 2W – Peninsula
and Midway Pacific Highway, 3NW – Peninsula and
Midway Pacific Highway, and 4W – Peninsula and
Ocean Beach, the residential density limits in Table 132-
15I and Table 132-15J do not apply. The total number of
proposed residential dwelling units shall not exceed the
maximum of the non-residential intensity limit in Table
132-15I and Table 132-15J.

(iv) For a development with a mix of two or more
non-residential uses, the number of people per acre shall
be calculated by dividing the square feet of proposed
uses by the occupancy factors in Table 132-15I or Table
132-15J, and dividing that sum by site area (in acres) to
determine the total non-residential intensity (people per
acre).

(v) The mixed-use (residential and non-residential)
development formula is as follows:

Ch. Art. Div.
13 2 15 35

San Diego Municipal Code Chapter 13: Zones (10-2024)

Residential:

A = number of dwelling units
B = site area (in acres)
C = persons per household multiplier for mixed-use
development (Table 132-15I and Table 132-15J)
D = residential intensity factor (total people per acre)
Formula: (A/B) x C = D

Non-residential:

E = square feet of non-residential use
F = occupancy factors for use (Table 132-15J and Table
132-15I)
G = total nonresidential intensity

Formula: (E/F)/B = G

Total mixed-use project intensity:

H = total project intensity
Formula: D+G = H

Combined Formula: ((A/B) x C) + ((E/F)/B) = H

(4) Safety compatibility shall be evaluated based on the location of the
safety zone boundary line.

(A) Any portion of the development located within a designated
safety zone shall comply with the regulations for that safety
zone.

(B) Where non-residential development is proposed on a premises with multiple safety zones, the maximum gross floor area permitted shall be the sum of the gross floor area permitted in each of the zones. Gross floor area may be redistributed to the least restrictive safety zone or to areas of the site located outside of a designated safety zone, but shall not be redistributed to the more restrictive safety zone.

(C) Within the airport influence area for San Diego International
Airport:

Ch. Art. Div. 13 2 15 36

San Diego Municipal Code Chapter 13: Zones (10-2024)

(i) No safety zone restrictions apply to a structure where
more than 50 percent of the structure footprint is located
outside a safety zone, as determined by gross floor area.

(ii) When a structure is located within two or more safety
zones, the standards of the safety zone in which the
greatest portion of the structure is located shall apply, as
determined by gross floor area.

(d) An applicant may request approval of a Neighborhood Development Permit for
a non-residential development where an alternative method of calculation is
requested to demonstrate compliance with the maximum intensity (people per
acre).

(1) The alternative method of calculation shall be to the satisfaction of the
City Manager and may include, for example, an estimate based on the
proposed number of parking spaces associated with the development or
an estimate based on a survey of similar uses.

(2) When compliance is demonstrated by an alternate method of
calculation, the non-residential development may exceed the maximum
floor area ratio specified in the applicable safety compatibility table if
the maximum intensity limit is not exceeded.

(3) The development permit shall specify the maximum intensity for the
site, and shall require amendment of the development permit in
accordance with Section 126.0114 for any future development that
would exceed the maximum intensity specified in the permit.

(4) As a condition of permit approval:

(A) Occupancy limits more restrictive than California Building Code occupancy standards may be required to be posted on-site for the proposed development; and

(B) A maximum number of allowable parking spaces may be
specified in the permit.

(e) Where an applicant disputes the City Manager's determination of use category
for a proposed development, an applicant may request an interpretation by the
Planning Commission in accordance with Section 131.0110(b).
