Noise-Related Information

The Airport Authority and the City of Burbank entered into an Airport Development Agreement in February 2005, designed to be a "global" settlement intended to end nearly a decade of legal battles. The settlement outlined development guidelines for Bob Hope Airport over the next 10 years, including:
  • The City will not change its zoning for the Airport, so that the Airport Authority may meet its facility needs consistent with that zoning for a period of seven years;
  • The Airport Authority will not build a new passenger terminal for ten years and will not enlarge the current terminal during the agreement;
  • The Airport Authority and City staff will jointly develop a strategy for addressing the desire for nighttime airport noise relief consistent with federal laws and procedures. This joint effort will include consideration of options within the Part 161 Study and options outside that process as well.
