JOHN WAYNE AIRPORT POLICY - Page Three
8. a policy which would limit the aircraft type at JWA to prohibit
B -727 and louder aircraft, and to that end adopt a policy which
sets maximum SENEL levels for all type aircraft using,JWA.
9. The County shall work with the FAA to implement aircraft flight
procedures which assure the community of the best feasible noise
abatement departures which are available, including a system of
variable flight departure patterns. To that end, the County
should acquire and install any necessary navigation aids and
devices which will accommodate said procedures.
10. Regulations leading to the achievement of the January 1, 1986,
State Noise Standards shall be provided in cooperative agreements,
such as stipulated judgments, Memoranda of Understanding, and /or
conditions on ADAP grants that would limit and reduce current
Airport - generated noise.
11. The 500 -mile perimeter rule must be re- instituted. The Board of
Supervisors is urged to take whatever steps are necessary to
accomplish such action. The City of Newport Beach will assist
the County in such action whenever possible. The John Wayne
Airport should be designated as a short -haul facility and no air
carrier should operate a route with a stage length from or to
John Wayne Airport in excess of 500 statute miles, except for
the pre- existing Salt Lake City route.
12. Weight 'limitation restrictions should be maintained at the John
Wayne Airport. Permitting heavier aircraft could have adverse
consequences in terms of the noise environment around JWA. Addi-
tionally, increasing the weight limitation would have adverse
consequences against the County with the existing noise damage
lawsuits pending and with respect to the County's variance under
the California Noise Standards. However, this weight restriction
is an issue which must be carefully considered and possibly modi-
fied if quieter aircraft with heavier weight requirements are
manufactured. It appears that noise characteristics of some air-
craft currently and soon to be in production will be substantially
superior to the existing aircraft types presently using the Airport.
Steps to permit the operation of those aircraft at the Airport
sometime in the future should be carefully evaluated and seriously
considered.
13. Airport surfade transportation access and air quality issues must
be resolved Yo the mutual satisfaction of the City of Newport Beach,
Orange Count CALTRANS, Air Resources Board, and other adjacent
local juris fictions. Surface transportation facilities are in-
adequate t accommodate traffic currently generated. Improvements
in access is a necessity before additional passengers are permitted
to use t e John Wayne Airport. Subject improvements should be
reviewe by all agencies being impacted by the JWA.

14. The terminal facilities should not be modified to accommodate
common terminal services for jet commercial aircraft.
15. Until the California Airport Noise Standards are met and environ-
mental documents are completed and certified, the runway length
and strength shall not be modified.
16. The City supports a system of "allocating slots" which will result
in the reduction of noise. However, total number of ADDs shall not
be increased above the present ceiling of 41 as a result of "slotting."
17. The City shall seek to guarantee the implementation of the items outlined
in this Policy through the use of long term, legally binding mechanisms
such as Memoranda of Understanding, stipulated judgements, grant condi-
tions, and joint powers agreements.
With an acceptable legally binding guarantee, the City will agree to
an increase in commercial jet airline operations to a total number
not to exceed 55 Average Daily Departures. The City also recognizes
that such legally binding guarantees will require review and parti-
cipation by parties currently involved with the City in airport
litigation. Any such legally binding agreement shall contain to
the greatest degree possible all other elements of the above policy.
