Travis AFB Sustainability Study Report Final Background Report | Page 195

The LUCP standards for the density of future development cannot be directly compared to guidelines provided in the Travis AFB AICUZ Study . The LUCP utilizes people per acre to measure density and the AICUZ utilizes floor area ratio of buildings to measure density . The LUCP also goes beyond the AICUZ compatibility issues of safety and noise , incorporating height , bird aircraft strike hazards , and glint and glare restrictions . The avigation easement required by the LUCP ensures that property owners do not construct future incompatible uses .
Figures 5.14‐2 , 5.14‐3 , 5.14‐4 , and 5.14‐5 illustrate the existing land use , zoning , Solano County General Plan future land use , and Suisun City General Plan future land uses , respectively , in the safety zones , as well as an assessment of compatibility based on recommendations in the AICUZ .
Tables 5.14‐4 , 5.14‐5 , and 5.14‐6 provide the acreage of each existing land uses , zoning , and future land use underneath within the safety zones , respectively .
Travis AFB holds three easements with private property owners covering the 235 acres beyond the installation boundaries to prevent development within the CZs . The APZs are currently clear of incompatible uses and are mostly used for agriculture . However , as the area around Travis AFB continues to grow , these open areas may be developed with uses that could be incompatible with Base operations .
