<br />CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION <br />SUBJECT: AIRPORT UPDATE & CONSULTANT CONTRACT FOR PHASE II <br /> <br />DATE: FEBRUARY 4, 2020 PAGE 4 OF 8 <br />8 <br /> Updates per RMMA. The Jefferson County Planning Department notifies <br />jurisdictions within 2 miles of a project. The City boundary is barely within 2 miles <br />of the outer airport boundary. Staff will contact Jefferson County to determine <br />how they measure for required notification. <br /> Coordinate local zoning/development changes with airport to understand <br />potential impacts – the airport recently requested review of the General <br />Development Plan (GDP) for Redtail Ridge (former StorageTek site) even though <br />it is outside of the influence zone. The airport provided comments and stated that <br />it did not need to review any other plans unless the Redtail Ridge plans changed <br />significantly or added more residential uses. The airport only asked to see <br />developments adjacent to 96th Street. Staff does not plan to forward any other <br />referrals to the airport. <br /> Update website to include Airport Influence Area and flight paths/patterns – City <br />staff has added the airport’s traffic pattern operations map to the City’s website <br />(https://www.louisvilleco.gov/residents/rocky-mountain-metropolitan-airport). <br /> <br />Regional Collaboration <br /> Establish planning meetings with City/Town, Boulder County, Jefferson County <br />and airport to discuss development plans, community concerns, etc. – <br />development plans and community concerns will be discussed by the community <br />noise roundtable. <br /> Coordinate review of airport and local off-airport land use planning to encourage <br />compatibility – see “establish planning meetings with City/town, Boulder County, <br />Jefferson County and airport to discuss development plans, community <br />concerns, etc.” status above. <br /> Establish regional planning forum to coordinate airport and local land use <br />planning – see “establish planning meetings with City/town, Boulder County, <br />Jefferson County and airport to discuss development plans, community <br />concerns, etc.” status above. <br /> Collaborate with Congressional delegation – City staff has engaged with the <br />Congressional delegation to discuss the issue and provided feedback for <br />potential legislative action. <br /> <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: <br />The following information was requested by City Council at the December 4, 2019 <br />meeting: <br /> Jurisdictional control – the majority of the airport is located within Jefferson <br />County with a small section of the airfield located in City/County of Broomfield. <br />There are non-aeronautical ground leases located in Broomfield that contain the <br />Ball Corp. and 7-11/Arby’s on Wadsworth. The typical review process for land <br />located in Broomfield applies to these properties.
