The Monterey County Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) is a 7 member commission created under the authority of California State Aeronautics Act (Public Utility Code section 21670). The primary purpose of the commission is to ensure that new land uses around public use airports do not create excessive noise and safety hazards for the public. Development proposals in the vicinity of local airports are referred to the ALUC by governing jurisdictions (County or incorporated city). The Commission normally meets on the fourth Monday of each month.
