PLANNING COMMISSION REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Draft Environmental Statement for Joint City San Bernardino/Air Force use of Norton Air Force Base. Planning Director Williams advised that the Planning Department has received and reviewed a copy of the Draft Environmental Report for the joint use of Norton Air Force Base by the Air Force and the City of San Bernardino. Mr. Williams continued that the report was compiled by the Department of Air Force, of which the Council members have been sent copies, and he felt that the report in many cases is inade- quate. Mr. Williams stated that the Department of Air Force had contacted several surrounding cities, such as Redlands and San Bernardino, with regard to the joint proposal, however, the City of Colton had not been advised or solicited for comments. Mr. Williams reported it is anticipated the joint use of Norton will increase air traffic: by 24 percent in the next five years. Mr. Williams said that Colton is in the flight pattern, and at the present time the noise factor is high; however, with the addition of commercial flights, the noise frequency will be even greater. Mr. Williams stated the City has no control over the military flights at Norton, however, the City would have something to say about the proposed commercial flights and added noise factor. Mr. Williams advised that the City of Redlands is opposed to the joint use of Norton based on the increased air traffic, noise and hazards to Redlands Airport. N G 1 6 1974
