Land Use Controls in the U.S. Government Agency Roles and Functions
Federal Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA)
• Manage airspace and air traffic (
• Airport safety and capacity
• Financial assistance to airports
• Environmental review
Department of Defense
• Military Installation Protection
State State legislatures • Establish levels of local authority for
land use control; e.g. zoning, land
development permitting
Local Counties
Cities
Independent authorities
• Establish and enforce actual land use
and development rules: Zoning laws,
site and building permitting

What are the areas of concern?
• 5 common concerns:
– Noise
– Concentrations of people
– Wildlife attractants
– Airspace Requirements
• Tall structures/obstructions
• One-engine Inoperative (OEI)
– Visual obstructions (glare, smoke)

• Airport sustainability practice provides airports with opportunities to
become better neighbors in their communities
• In the U.S., sustainability practices are identified in airport sustainability
plans, publically-available sustainability reports, and Environmental
Management Systems. Some U.S. Airport examples:
– Los Angeles World Airports Sustainability Program
– Chicago Department of Aviation’s Sustainable Airport Manual
– Dallas-Ft. Worth’s Environmental Stewardship Program
– Massport’s Sustainability Plan, Commonwealth of Massachusetts
– Annual sustainability reporting by several airport authorities
– Integration of sustainability considerations into major development
projects
• In some cases, local stakeholders are invited to participate in
development of sustainability practices
Airport Sustainability
Airport Cities World Conference and Exhibition
31 March – 2 April, 2014 17 Federal Aviation

• Areas where airports are identifying sustainability initiatives:
– Increased public awareness of the airport’s role in the local economy
– Improvement of stakeholder involvement in airport activities
– New procedures that enhance employee well-being and reduce local
environmental impacts
– Work with local authorities to identify sustainable transport solutions
– Promoting local heritage and culture on the airport
• U.S. airport sustainability practices have been synthesized through the
Sustainable Aviation Guidance Alliance (SAGA). This alliance consisted
of government and industry stakeholders.
– The SAGA website includes a database of hundreds of airport
sustainability practices. Practices cover the full range of
sustainability practices currently being implemented at U.S. airports

Emissions Reduction Programs - VALE
Initiated in 2005, VALE provides funding for emissions reduction projects at airports with low air quality Benefits:
•Improved air quality: VALE emission savings equal the removal of 20,600 cars and trucks from the road each year for the next decade •More funding for clean technology •Lower airport and airline costs •Improved airport relations with State agencies and the public

Solar Power Generation on and Near Airports
Airport Cities World Conference and Exhibition
31 March – 2 April, 2014 20 Federal Aviation
Administration
FAA and Department of Energy worked cooperatively to launch the Solar Glare Hazardous Analysis Tool to assess ocular impact: – Web-based tool that
quickly analyzes the potential for glare from an installation throughout the year
– Can be used to analyzed alternate configurations to ensure no harmful glare

Energy Efficiency of Airport Power Sources
• Our latest Congressional reauthorization has increased our ability
to support comprehensive energy assessments, and grants for
select efficiency projects
– Assessment: Comprehensive study of airport’s energy
requirements, including:
• heating and cooling
• base load
• back-up power
• power for on-road airport vehicles and ground support equipment
• Those assessments will identify Energy Conservation Measures
(ECMs) that will reduce airport energy usage
• Several ECMs are eligible for FAA grants (LED Lighting, some
airport vehicle fleet conversions, etc.).

• The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) is also using our experience with Hurricane Sandy to improve adaptation planning
• DOT has asked each transportation mode to provide assessments of their response to the storm. These lessons will be used to update adaptation plans and disaster response procedures
