Summary FAA has been generous in allowing conversion of land to non- aeronautical use The City was allowed to implement operational restrictions unique to SMO that give the City unusual control over how the airport is used • Curfew • Noise limits • Operational restrictions Additional opportunities to improve safety and quality of life for residents exist by partnering with the FAA 17
Collaboration – Looking into the Future Collaborate with FAA on safety enhancements • Engineered Material Arresting System (EMAS) Explore additional ways to reduce noise • Barriers • Sound insulation for homes Further conversion of Residual Land to non-aeronautical use while ensuring aeronautical activities are accommodated elsewhere on the field 18
SMO – Irreplaceable Asset for Future Generations 19
