Abstract:This report presents the findings and conclusions from a research project to explore how the principles and
strategies of smart growth can be applied to resolving land use conflicts around airports. The study entailed a
literature review, interviews with airport and planning agency staff and others involved in airport land use
planning decisions and detailed case studies. The work involved in performing the case studies constituted most of
the research effort and the case study analysis and findings comprise the largest part of this report.
Based on the research, nine specific recommendations are made. Key among these are that Caltrans Division of
Aeronautics should work to ensure adequate funding, staffing and training for planners charged with land use
planning around airports. Airport Land Use Commissions should also be encouraged (and provided with
incentives) to better disseminate their policies and decisions, and to track and report changes in land use within
Airport Influence Areas on an annual basis. Caltrans Division of Aeronautics should also coordinate with other
relevant state agencies to develop explicit guidelines that address smart growth planning in the vicinity of
airports.
