OVERVIEW
The County of San Diego's Department of Public Works (DPW) owns and operates a system of eight airports.

Durkin-CAC Lot 24, LLC, a California limited liability company (Durkin) owns a property located at 5817 Dryden Place in Carlsbad (Property) that is situated within Safety Zone 1 of the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan for the Airport.
