45 could allow Dublin to change its general plan to allow residential development in the area. He stated that whatever plan is presented, there is a need to maintain a non-residential corridor for aircraft taking off to the west consistent with FAAIFR heading of 020. In terms of economics, this airport does provide regional benefit. He felt there is a significant financial impact on Livermore. He believed the County proposal would be acceptable in terms of the modification of the area, however Zone B use is incompatible with the whole concept of the APA.' He wanted a contract with the City of Livermore and the airport that prohibits expansion of the runways. The only real control is the number of runways. He further stated his desire for the Airport Committee with Pleasanton representation. Ms. Mohr stated Dublin has its own problems and it has been two and a half years working on the EIR. She did not see that there was a rush for Dublin to develop. She preferred to spend more time negotiating an agreement that would give a higher security than an ordinance, which could be changed by subsequent Councils. She did want an EIR, because she felt there would be a requirement for EIRS on a piecemeal basis as each parcel of property develops. She prefers a master EIR for the whole area. The need for an EIR could be discussed by the Committee, which everyone seems in support of. She was not sure from a legal perspective what any decision Pleasanton makes would have on Dublin.

Mr. Roush indicated Dublin would not be bound by any decision of Pleasanton. However, it may want the information to include in its considerations. Ms. Scribner indicated she was very much in favor of the protection zone. She felt development in Zone B is ludicrous. Zone C is useful in informing the residents of the noise factor. She feels the committee should be established. She believed the EIR decision should be left up to them. She does not want to wait, but there may be some reason not apparent at this time. She perceives this as a layer of zoning rather than an environmental impact. The only way of protecting the existing residents is to come to some contractual agreement limiting the runways. The committee may have some other option to limit further noise for existing residents. Mayor Tarver indicated the EIR should be referred to the Committee. He didn't know if it was possible to ask Dublin to hold off any action until the Committee makes its determination. He agreed Zone B is totally incompatible with the airport. Zone C makes a lot of sense. He opposed any residential development any 1/12/93 9
