LIGHT AND GLARE (LG)
LG‐1 Potential for glint and glare from solar arrays
There is a potential that new solar energy development could cause glint and glare that could impact pilots’ vision. The County has adopted an
ordinance that minimizes this potential in unincorporated areas by requiring detailed study of glint glare impacts from potential projects. Further, the
County has adopted an ordinance that limits commercial solar energy development on agricultural land.
LG‐1A General
Sandia National Laboratories solar glare tools
Travis AFB should continue to use Sandia National Laboratories solar glare tools
such as the Solar Glare and Flux Mapping Tools and Solar Glare Hazard Analysis
Tool to monitor potential impacts from solar development and solar glare.
On‐going
NOISE (NOI)
NOI‐1 Noise from aircraft operations
The aircraft operations that occur at Travis AFB produce noise that can be heard outside the boundaries of the Base, within surrounding communities.
NOI‐1A Noise
Review and as necessary update general plans and amend zoning
regulations for noise attenuation standards
The TSS Partner jurisdictions should update their general plan and amend their
zoning regulations to comply with the recommended guidelines from the Travis
AFB AICUZ and LUCP.
