California Senate Passes Airport Land Use Bill

Aimed At Protecting Airports From Encroachment

The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association tells ANN the California state senate passed S.B.1118, a bill aimed at strengthening the state's airport land-use laws, by nearly a unanimous vote on May 1.

AOPA worked with Sen. Gloria Negrete McLeod (D-Chino) to introduce the bill, and has been actively working to win its passage. The pilot advocacy group says amendments, inconsistent administration, and rapidly growing pressure for urban development near airports have weakened California laws protecting airports from incompatible development.

S.B.1118 would strengthen those laws by requiring all counties with at least one public-use airport to have an airport land-use commission. Good land-use planning can preempt noise complaints and safety issues that threaten airports.

Marin, San Bernardino, and Santa Cruz counties are among those affected by the bill. The bill’s next stop is the Assembly’s Local Government Committee.
