Office of Aviation Planning Responsibilities

The Office of Aviation Planning is responsible for developing and updating the California Aviation System Plan, an assessment of the current and future aviation needs and an implementation plan, including but not limited to the various elements (Policy Element, Capital Improvement Plan, General Aviation System Needs Assessment, and Inventory Element). We develop and publish the California Airport Land Use Planning Handbook, review and comment on Airport Land Use Compatibility Plans (ALUCPs) and city and county land use decision override letters regarding the respective Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan. The Office of Aviation System Planning works with federal, state, and local agencies; airport owners, managers, and consultants; and members of the public to advocate for aviation and to assist with the identification of and resolution of land use compatibility issues.
