the Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) for its review and determination of consistency with the Airport Land Use Policy Plan. This area extends west to Santa Rita Road in Pleasanton. The ALUC has also adopted a Height Referral Area, which includes noise impacts zones and safety zones at both ends of airport runways. These boundaries and the policies that apply within them are described in detail in its Land Use Policy Plan. Within the Pleasanton Planning Area, the General Referral Area is a subset of the Height Referral Area. In addition to the above, in 1993, the ALUC was amended to include an Airport Protection Area within which new residential development or the intensification of existing development is prohibited. This area extends generally 5,000 feet east, north, and south of the runways, and 7,000 feet west of the runways. Within the Pleasanton Planning Area, the Airport Protection Area is a subset of the General Referral Area and the Height Referral Area. The Airport Land Use Policy Plan also delineates Airport Safety Zones for each runway that are not located within the Pleasanton Planning Area. Pleasanton's General Plan and Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan must be consistent with the Airport Land Use Policy Plan and Airport Protection Area plan. Substantial areas within the Pleasanton Planning Area lie within the Airport's height referral area, although they are located at sufficient distances so that all uses allowed under the City's 85-foot zoning height limit for commercial and industrial uses and 40-foot limit for residential uses would be compatible. No residential land use designations are located within the Airport Protection Area. Heliport The Valley Care Medical Center operates a heliport at its hospital on Santa Rita Road. This heliport is operated on an as-needed basis for emergency medical transportation. EMERGENCY OPERATIONS As required by State law, the City of Pleasanton has adopted a comprehensive Emergency Management Plan to provide for the safety of the community in the event of a natural disaster (earthquake, flood or fire), human-caused emergencies, and technological incidents, civil disturbance, or hazardous materials spill. The Plan provides a framework for coordination of response and recovery efforts within the City in coordination with local, State and federal agencies. It also establishes an emergency organization to direct and control operations during a period of emergency by assigning responsibilities to specific personnel. (Table V-3 lists and Figure V-II shows critical facilities including fire and police stations, medical centers, and mass shelter sites in Pleasanton.) Pleasanton's Emergency Management Plan conforms to the Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS), the National Incident Management System (NIMS), and the National Response Plan (NRP). The City's Plan also establishes response policies and procedures to protect life, property and Publi<: Safety 082906, dean V-27 City Council 8/29/2006
