The County of San Diego has released a proposed Master Plan Update designed to guide future development at McClellan-Palomar Airport.
The update and a draft environmental study were released Thursday for a 45-day public review period scheduled to end March 5.
The county has been working to create the new master plan for four years. The proposed plan focuses on modernizing McClellan-Palomar to meet current FAA airport standards and improving airport efficiency.
The proposed Master Plan and the draft program environmental impact report can both be found at PalomarAirportMP.com. Comments can be submitted to PalomarMP@sdcounty.ca.gov.
The county also announced Thursday that it has scheduled two public meetings to update the public about the proposed Master Plan and to collect input.
The first meeting will be held from 6-8:30 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 30 at the Holiday Inn Carlsbad, located at 2725 Palomar Airport Road in Carlsbad.
The second meeting will be held two weeks later, from 6-8:30 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 13, at the same location.
Both meetings will include the same presentation.
McClellan-Palomar Airport will also hold an open house from 4-7 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 7 inside the airport terminal at 2198 Palomar Airport Road in Carlsbad. The open house will feature exhibits about the airport’s existing facilities.
The proposed Master Plan Update is scheduled to be considered by the County Board of Supervisors later this year. For more information about the McClellan-Palomar Airport Master Plan Update, subscribe to future announcements.
