expressing Dublin's concerns about the
proposed addition of Livermore's airport
protection area to the Airport Land Use
Policy Plan.
REPORT PREPARED BY: Dennis Carrington, Senior Planner
EXHIBITS ATTACHED: 1 . Draft letter to the Airport Land
Use Commission.
2 . Airport Protection Area map.
RECOMMENDATION: 1 . Receive the Staff Report.
2 . Review the draft letter to the
Airport Land Use Commission.
3 . Authorize Mayor to sign letter to
the Airport Land Use Commission.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: No financial impacts.
DESCRIPTION:
The City of Livermore has established an Airport Protection
Area (see Attachment 2) which prohibits new residential uses
within its boundaries in the City of Livermore. Livermore has
asked the County Airport Land Use Commission to include the
airport protection area in the Airport Land Use Policy Plan. The
boundary of the airport protection area would extend into
Dublin's sphere of influence and would have adverse impacts on
the East Dublin general plan amendment and specific plan.
The Alameda County staff has requested that the City of
Dublin provide them with a formal response to the Livermore
proposal . The attached letter formally expresses the concerns of
the City of Dublin with the proposal . These concerns have been
expressed by Staff at hearings in Livermore and recently before
the Airport Land Use Commission.

SUBJECT: Addition of City of Livermore's airport protection area
to the County Airport Land Use Policy Plan
Dear Mr. Martinelli :
The purpose of this letter is to formally express the
concerns of the City of Dublin about the proposal by the City of
Livermore to add an "Airport Protection Area" to the portion of
the Airport Land Use Policy Plan addressing the Livermore
airport.
The proposal would restrict residential and perhaps other
land uses within an area 5, 000 feet north of the main runway of
the Livermore airport. The City of Dublin feels that the 5,000
foot dimension to the north of the main runway is arbitrary and
not based on fact or any established standards. No noise
studies, risk studies, flight operations studies or economic
studies have been performed to support the proposed change to the
plan.
Any restriction on land uses north of Interstate 580 would
have negative impacts on the planning process for the East Dublin
Specific Plan, have a chilling impact on land values within the
Airport Protection Area and have a negative impact on the value
of all lands in the specific plan area. Areas designated single
family residential , medium density residential and medium high
density residential on the specific plan, an elementary school
and a junior high school (all of which are at least 3 ,600 feet
north of the runway) would be impacted. Residential and school
uses would have to be redistributed to other areas and industrial
Administration (415) 833-6650 • City Councii (415) 833-6605 • Finance (415) 833-6640 • Building Inspection (415) 833-6620
Code Enforcement (415) 833-6620 • Engineering (415) 833-6630 • Planning (415) 833-6610
Police (415) 833-6670 • Public Works (415) 833-6630 • Recreation (415) 833-6645
park, business park or regional commercial uses would have to be
placed in this area. The end result would be an adverse
jobs/housing situation in the East Dublin area.
During recent history, the City of Livermore has been
approving residential land uses within the proposed airport
protection area. It is inconsistent that a city which has
recently allowed residential uses in this area would seek to
prohibit such uses in another city in a location more distant
from the airport.
Again, I would like to the express the opposition of the
City of Dublin to the arbitrary and unfounded proposal by the
City of Livermore to place a restriction on land uses within the
City of Dublin by means of adding the Airport Protection Area to
the Airport Land Use Policy Plan.
If you have any questions please call Dennis Carrington,
Senior Planner, at 833-6610.
Sincerely yours,
Peter W. Snyder
Mayor
