LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 758, Block. General plans: City of Coronado.
The State Aeronautics Act governs the creation and operation of
airports in this state. The act provides for the establishment of
county airport land use commissions to carry out various
requirements, including the formulation of a comprehensive land use
compatibility plan to provide for the orderly growth of airports and
the area surrounding airports within the jurisdiction of the
commission, and to safeguard the general welfare of the inhabitants
within the vicinity of an airport and the public in general. The act
requires each county in which there is an airport served by a
scheduled airline, with certain exceptions, to establish an airport
land use commission. The act requires the commission to include,
within its airport land use compatibility plan, the area within the
jurisdiction of the commission surrounding any military airport for
specified purposes.
Existing law exempts the County of San Diego from the requirement
to establish a commission and, instead, makes the San Diego County
Regional Airport Authority responsible for the preparation, adoption,
and amendment of an airport land use compatibility plan for each
airport in San Diego County.
The Planning and Zoning Law requires the legislative body of a
city or county to adopt a comprehensive, long-term general plan that
includes various elements, including, among others, a circulation
safety element consisting of the general location and extent of
existing and proposed major thoroughfares, including military
airports. This law requires the general plan, and any applicable
specific plan, to be amended within 180 days of any amendment to the
airport land use compatibility plan.
This bill would, until January 1, 2017, instead require the
general plan, and any applicable specific plan, for the City of
Coronado to be amended, as necessary, within 540 days of any
amendment to the airport land use compatibility plan.
The bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to
the necessity of a special statute for the City of Coronado.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Section 65302.11 is added to the Government Code, to
read:
65302.11. (a) Notwithstanding subdivision (b) of Section 65302.3,
the general plan, and any applicable specific plan, for the City of
Coronado shall be amended, as necessary, within 540 days of any
amendment to the plan required under Section 21675 of the Public
Utilities Code if the amendment is made prior to January 1, 2017.
(b) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1,
2019, or 540 days after an amendment to the plan required under
Section 21675 of the Public Utilities Code, whichever is earlier, and
as of that date is repealed.
SEC. 2. The Legislature finds and declares that a special law is
necessary and that a general law cannot be made applicable within the
meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the California Constitution
because of the unique island location of the City of Coronado and its
proximity to large military installations. In addition, the
complexities of amending a general plan and a local coastal plan for
the City of Coronado will take significantly longer than six months.
