SUBJECT: AIRPORT UPDATE & CONSULTANT CONTRACT FOR PHASE II DATE: FEBRUARY 4, 2020 PAGE4OF8 Updates per RMMA. The Jefferson County Planning Department notifies jurisdictions within 2 miles of a project. The City boundary is barely within 2 miles of the outer airport boundary. Staff will contact Jefferson County to determine how they measure for required notification. • Coordinate local zoning/development changes with airport to understand potential impacts — the airport recently requested review of the General Development Plan (GDP) for Redtail Ridge (former StorageTek site) even though it is outside of the influence zone. The airport provided comments and stated that it did not need to review any other plans unless the Redtail Ridge plans changed significantly or added more residential uses. The airport only asked to see developments adjacent to 96th Street. Staff does not plan to forward any other referrals to the airport. • Update website to include Airport Influence Area and flight paths/patterns — City staff has added the airport's traffic pattern operations map to the City's website (https://www.louisvilleco.gov/residents/rocky-mountain-metropolitan-airport). Regional Collaboration • Establish planning meetings with City/Town, Boulder County, Jefferson County and airport to discuss development plans, community concerns, etc. — development plans and community concerns will be discussed by the community noise roundtable. • Coordinate review of airport and local off -airport land use planning to encourage compatibility — see "establish planning meetings with City/town, Boulder County, Jefferson County and airport to discuss development plans, community concerns, etc." status above. • Establish regional planning forum to coordinate airport and local land use planning — see "establish planning meetings with City/town, Boulder County, Jefferson County and airport to discuss development plans, community concerns, etc." status above. • Collaborate with Congressional delegation — City staff has engaged with the Congressional delegation to discuss the issue and provided feedback for potential legislative action. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The following information was requested by City Council at the December 4, 2019 meeting: • Jurisdictional control — the majority of the airport is located within Jefferson County with a small section of the airfield located in City/County of Broomfield. There are non -aeronautical ground leases located in Broomfield that contain the Ball Corp. and 7-11 /Arby's on Wadsworth. The typical review process for land located in Broomfield applies to these properties. CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION 27
