No Menifee ordinance regulates aircraft noise in flight, which is federally controlled. The city's General Plan Noise Element instead bars new homes inside 65 dB CNEL airport contours and defers to Riverside County Airport Land Use Commission compatibility criteria.
Menifee addresses aviation noise through land use planning rather than direct regulation, since aircraft in flight are regulated federally by the FAA. General Plan Noise Element Policy N-1.17 prevents construction of new noise-sensitive land uses within airport noise impact zones and prohibits new residential land uses within the 65 dB CNEL contours of any public-use or military airports as defined by the Riverside County Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC). Policy N-1.20 commits the city to adhere to applicable ALUC land use compatibility criteria, including density, intensity, and coverage standards, and Policy N-1.16 directs collaboration with airport owners, the FAA, Caltrans, and neighboring jurisdictions on transportation noise plans. Riverside County ALUC compatibility plans govern development near area airfields, including March Air Reserve Base to the north and Perris Valley Airport northeast of the city.
There is no city citation for aircraft noise itself. Development proposals inside ALUC-mapped airport influence areas that conflict with compatibility criteria or the 65 dB CNEL residential prohibition can be denied or conditioned during entitlement review.
