ZAP1036FV09 – Riverside County Economic Development Agency – Aviation Division
Airport Master Plan for French Valley Airport. The Airport Land Use Commission will review the Airport Master Plan document to determine consistency with the French Valley Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan, as adopted in 2007. French Valley Airport is located easterly of Winchester Road (State Highway Route 79), southerly of Auld Road, and westerly of Leon Road in the unincorporated French Valley area. The Master Plan indicates that the airport would continue to be a general aviation airport. Activity forecasts would not exceed ultimate levels projected in the adopted Compatibility Plan. The Master Plan includes a Capital Improvement Program and recommends 27 actions over the next 20 years to improve the airport, including establishment of an Airport Traffic Control Tower. The Master Plan would supersede the November 1995 Master Plan, which had proposed development of a secondary runway easterly of, and parallel to, the existing runway. Adoption of the new Master Plan would eliminate that previously proposed, but never built, secondary runway. ALUC Staff Planner: John Guerin at (951) 955-0982, or E-mail at jguerin@rctlma.org.
