Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan
To be presented at August 18, 2022 Board Meeting

Post

The SACOG Board of Directors, serving as the Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC), is being presented with a recommendation to adopt the draft Mather Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) update and its associated environmental document at is meeting on Thursday, August 18, 2022.  The board’s responsibilities as the ALUC are to ensure that proposed land uses in areas around airports are compatible with airport operations. The board does this by adopting and updating plans known as the ALUCPs. These plans includes land use policies and compatibility criteria for safety, noise, airspace protection, and overflight notification for each airport under its jurisdiction. The plan for Mather Airport was adopted in 1997 and since then, changes to operations, aircraft technology and other factors have warranted the need to update the ALUCP. 

The SACOG Land Use and Natural Resources Committee of the board unanimously approved recommendation of the ALUCP at its August 4 meeting.  For the meeting agenda and board packet, please go to Board and Board Committee Agendas – Sacramento Area Council of Governments (sacog.org)
