PETITION FROM THE RESIDENTS OF NEWPORT BEACH
The residents of Newport Beach do declare as follows:
Noise, pollution and safety from airplanes are the greatest
quality of life issue to most residents located near or under the
departure pattern from JWA. The City Council of Newport
Beach has not developed adaquate public policy to recognize all
of the impacts of John Wayne Airport. To date, discussions have
been to resolve the issues in the Backbay resulting in the changes
from the FAA Metroplex Project.
The neighborhoods under the departing planes after the
Backbay have not been properly included in prior consideration
and subsequent discussions of problems that need to be
addressed. The City inaccurately refers to historic departure
pattern when it originated over the turning basin and has
changed over the years now narrowed to a pattern which has
concentrated noise, pollution and the concern of safety.
The undersigned request that the City Council of Newport
Beach develop a specific policy to address the impact of JWA on
residents. This policy should be designed to provide the highest
quality of life to residents and should state that planes should fly
over the most water and least number of residents. The City
should advocate a plan of relief for the neighborhoods that have
constant noise, pollution and concern of safety from JWA.
The City of Newport Beach should work with other communities
with similar problems, the airlines, FAA, the County of Orange,
State and Federal elected officials and agencies using any effort
necessary to provide relief to our neighborhoods.

City of Newport Beach, California
We are a condominium association consisting of 58 units located on Bayside
Drive directly across from Balboa Island. The recent changes to the John Wayne
Airport departure patterns resulting from the implementation of Nextgen has
resulted in a more concentrated environmental impact on certain Newport
Beach neighborhoods including our own. Since the change, virtually all flights
departing from JWA come directly over our association with little variation.
This subjects our residents to continuous noise and particulate pollution during
flight operational hours.
These changes in flight patterns are inconsistent with the City of Newport
Beach's position to depart from JWA over the most open water possible. In
addition, the departures should impact the least number of residents of
Newport Beach. The current fixed takeoff flight pattern concentrates all of the
environmental impacts (noise and particulate) on many residential areas.
As a member of this group of residents, we strongly request the City of Newport
Beach work on behalf of their citizens to provide relief from this excessive
pollution. Variations of the current departure pattern or a flexible flight path
would help mitigate these environmental impacts.
Very truly yours,
Bayside Cove Community Association

City of Newport Beach Mayor and City Council,
The recent change to the John Wayne Airport departure pattern from the
implementation of Nextgen has resulted in a dramatically more concentrated
enviromnental impact on Newport Beach neighborhoods. Specifically, we
believe there to be extreme environmental damage as more flights, and thus
noise and air pollution, are directed over Beacon Bay.
These changes are inconsistent with the City of Newport Beach position to
depart from JWA over the most open water possible. In addition, the
departures should impact the least number of residents of Newport
Beach. The current fixed takeoff flight path concentrates all of the
environmental impacts on many residential areas and does not consider these
factors. The impacted residents of Beacon Bay request the City Council of
Newport Beach work on behalf of their residents to provide relief.
Variation of the current departure pattern away from our neighborhood or
a flexible flight path would help mitigate these environmental impacts.
