  • Kern County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan
    4.9.3.2 Avigation Easement Dedication The owner of any property proposed for development (general plan amendments, zone changes, land division activities, new and modifications to existing use permits, site plan reviews, planned development reviews) within all Compatibility Zones (refer to Figure 4-4 IA), will be required to dedicate an avigation easement to the East Kern Airport District. 4.9.3.3 Other Flight Hazards New land uses (or the expansion of existing land uses) with activities which may produce hazards to aircraft in flight shall not be permitted within the Mojave Airport's influence area, as depicted on Figure 4-41. Specific characteristics to be avoided include: (1) Glare, distracting lights, or light patterns which could be mistaken for airport lights; (2) Sources of dust, steam, or smoke which may impair pilot visibility; (3) Sources of electrical interference with aircraft communications or navigation; (4) Any use, especially landfills and certain agricultural uses, which may attract large flocks of birds, except in the Zone E; and (5) Any light or series of lights which may cause visual discomfort or loss of orientation during critical phases of flight. (6) Any future project with the capability of generating extended periods of airborne dust and particulate matter which may become a hazard within the Mojave Airport area of influence shall reviewed by the East Kern Airport District. Applications should include construction and operational information in sufficient detail to allow an impact analysis to be completed. Mitigation measures may be required as part of project review. (7) Commercial and/or industrial development at the new SR-58/Business 58 interchange and SR-58/SR- 14 interchange in the Mojave Specific plan shall specifically be reviewed for the following concerns: a) glare and distracting lights, b) sources of dust, steam, or smoke which may impact pilot visibility, and c) height and location of signs and structures.
