Live Oak is partially within the Randolph AFB Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ), where aircraft noise is exempt from local ordinances and land-use compatibility is recommended for residents near flight paths.
Aircraft noise from Randolph Air Force Base is regulated by federal law, not city ordinance. Live Oak lies within or adjacent to the Randolph AICUZ study area, which maps noise contours (65 to 75+ DNL decibels) and Accident Potential Zones (APZ I and II). The city cannot cite the Air Force for training flights or touch-and-go operations. Residents in AICUZ zones should expect regular aircraft noise, especially near Randolph Boulevard and Pat Booker Road. The city coordinates land-use planning with the Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) to minimize new residential development in high-noise zones. Noise complaints about AFB operations should be directed to the Randolph Public Affairs office.
