CORPUS CHRISTI, TX – At at present’s usually scheduled council assembly, Mayor Paulette Guajardo and the Metropolis Council accredited the primary studying of an ordinance creating Navy Compatibility Space Overlay Districts (MCAOD) for the areas surrounding Truax Area at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi (NASCC), Naval Outlying Touchdown Area Cabaniss, and Naval Outlying Touchdown Area Waldron. The overlay districts will make future land use appropriate with Naval Air Station Corpus Christi’s army mission.
At present’s motion got here after the Council performed a joint assembly with the Planning Fee to carry a public listening to.
The MCAOD is designed to guard civilians and army personnel’s well being, security, and welfare by making certain land use is appropriate with plane operations, minimizing noise and plane accident potential impacts, and defending the army installations’ investments by safeguarding their operational capabilities.
The zoning overlay districts will regulate land use, density, noise, mild, and vertical obstructions. The second studying of the ordinance will probably be on August 16.
NASCC is primarily centered on pilot coaching. Coaching Air Wing 4 includes 4 particular person models: two major coaching squadrons and two squadrons that present superior multi-engine coaching. Coaching Air Wing 4 delivers over 600 extremely certified aviators yearly. The Chief of Naval Air Coaching (CNATRA) is headquartered at NASCC and oversees all aviation coaching for the U.S. Navy.
The Corpus Christ Army Depot (CCAD) can also be situated at NASCC.
In accordance with the Texas Navy Preparedness Fee, the mission of Naval Air Station Corpus Christi mixed with CCAD has a $4.6 billion annual impression on the Texas economic system.
