Crane · 2026
WFM - LAJ HVAC Replacement
La Jolla, CA · near Miramar Mcas (Joe Foss Fld) (5.1 mi)
What this outcome means
The FAA studied the proposal and concluded it would not be a hazard to air navigation. A no-hazard determination is not permanent — it carries an expiration date, and if the structure is not built by then the case has to be re-filed.
The proposal, in the filer's words
"There is a HVAC Replacement Project being planned for the Whole Foods Market located at 8825 Villa La Jolla Drive La Jolla CA 92037. This is a like-for-like end of life replacement to ensure that store conditions continue to meet the needed specification. Old equipment will be replaced and no additional equipment is planned to be added. A crane will be utilized to both remove and replace HVAC Units."
