Aircraft Overflight (-AO) Combining Zone District Rezone Project

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Aircraft Overflight (-AO) Combining Zone District Rezone project is a County-initiated project to rezone properties located near the Auburn Municipal Airport to add the combining -AO Aircraft Overflight Zone. The AO District prohibits uses that are not identified as a compatible land use in the applicable airport land use plan.

California law requires that after an ALUC has adopted an ALUCP, affected local governments must update their general plans, specific plans, and regulations to be consistent with the ALUCP (Gov’t. Code, § 65302.3). The ALUCP was updated and adopted by the ALUC in September of 2021. 

The County has determined that in order to achieve consistency with the 2021 adopted ALUCPs, the County will need to rezone 332 properties to add the combining -AO (Aircraft Overflight) zone and combining district, while maintaining the properties original base zoning.
