General Plan Addendum * August 26, 2016 Page 10 Page 7-43 Add the following sentences to the last paragraph on the page (Guntrum) The City will continue to maintain a dialogue with the Port of Oakland on further noise abatement procedures, particularly in residential areas impacted by overflights and in areas between the 55 and 65 dB CNEL contours. The City will continue to be an active participant in discussions about the airport’s future and will ensure that future development decisions consider the potential for exposure to airport noise. Through its participation in the Noise Management Forum, San Leandro will work to reduce noise impacts associated with implementation of new flight pattern protocols at Bay Area airports. In 2016, several East Bay cities were experiencing impacts from the Metroplex air traffic control system, which has resulted in more concentrated air traffic patterns. San Leandro will work with Congressional representatives and others to bring FAA oversight and regulations up to date to address and to resolve increased noise impacts on the community. For its part, the aviation industry continues to incorporate new aircraft design and navigational technology in order to improve the ambient noise environment around the airport. Page 7-66 Edit Action EH-9.1.A as follows (Guntrum): Action EH-9.1.A: Participation in Airport Community Noise Management Forum Supplement the City’s participation in the Airport-Community Noise Management Forum through local Airport task forces and other airport- based advisory groups. The mission of such groups should be to monitor Airport plans and programs and advocate on behalf of residents and businesses impacted by Airport operations and expansion plans. Noise Management Forum activities should include discussions with the FAA to address and resolve air traffic impacts associated with implementation of the Metroplex air traffic system.
