AI Summary

  • Requires political subdivisions conditioning approval of noise-sensitive projects (residential uses, schools, hospitals, etc.) within an airport's 65 decibel noise contour to obtain avigation easements from the airport operator before issuing building permits.

  • Mandates avigation easements include a termination clause that automatically terminates the easement if the noise-sensitive project is not constructed and the building permit or its extension expires or is revoked.

  • Requires political subdivisions to notify airport operators within 30 days of permit expiration or revocation, and airport operators to record a notice of termination with the county recorder within 90 days and provide proof of filing within 30 days.

  • Specifies that avigation easements convey rights including aircraft passage through airspace, subjection to noise and emissions, prohibition of structures entering airspace, and rights of entry for maintenance and removal of hazards.

  • Exempts the state from reimbursing local agencies for implementation costs, as local agencies have authority to levy fees sufficient to cover the mandate.
