- FAA review
In the event that the Zoning Administrator is unable to determine whether the limitations and prohibitions of this section will be exceeded or violated, no permit shall be issued until a completed Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Form 7460-1, as amended, has been submitted to the FAA, an aeronautical study has been completed by the FAA, and a determination of there being no hazard to air navigation and no violation of the use restrictions contained in subsection (g) above has been made by the FAA and submitted to the Zoning Administrator.
- HeightMaximum heightThe tallest a building may be, given in feet, in storeys, or both — whichever binds first. exemption35 ft
Any structure or vegetation of a height which is thirty-five (35) feet or less above the surface of the land, except for towers.
- HeightMaximum heightThe tallest a building may be, given in feet, in storeys, or both — whichever binds first. exemption (towers)20 ft
Any tower which is of a height which is twenty (20) feet or less above the surface of the land.
The Part 77.13 Zone extends around the Airport, away from each runway for twenty thousand (20,000) feet, with the floor set by the Part 77.13 Surface.
The Precision Instrument Runway Approach Zone expands outward uniformly to a width of sixteen thousand (16,000) feet at a horizontal distance of thirty thousand two hundred (30,200) feet from the end of the Part 77.13 Zone. Its centerline is the continuation of the runway centerline and the floor is set by the Precision Instrument Runway Approach Surfaces.
The transitional zones are the areas that extend five thousand (5,000) feet outward from the edge of the Precision Instrument Runway Approach Zones, perpendicular to the extended runway centerline, with the floor set by the seven to one (7:1) slope of the Transitional Surfaces.
- HeightMaximum heightThe tallest a building may be, given in feet, in storeys, or both — whichever binds first. limitation (general)
Except as otherwise provided in this section, no structure shall be erected, altered, or maintained, and no vegetation shall be allowed to grow, in the Airport Navigation Zone established herein, so as to penetrate any referenced surface, known as the floor, of the Part 77.13 Zone, the Precision Instrument Runway Approach Zone, or the Transitional Zone at any point.
- HeightMaximum heightThe tallest a building may be, given in feet, in storeys, or both — whichever binds first. limitation (200 ft)200 ft
To construction or alteration of any structure more than two hundred (200) feet above the ground level at its site, even if not penetrating the floor of any surface.
- HeightMaximum heightThe tallest a building may be, given in feet, in storeys, or both — whichever binds first. limitation (towers)
To any tower.
Nonconforming uses or obstructions which the FAA has determined do not constitute a hazard to air navigation so long as they are mitigated may be permitted provided that: (A) Such mitigation procedures, such as use of lights or markers, shall be installed and continuously maintained at the property owner's expense...; and (B) The Airport's Executive Director has determined in writing that the proposed mitigation procedures will not in any way impact, limit, restrict, or require a change in the Airport's use or operation.
A permit may be issued for a nonconforming use that the FAA determines is an obstruction but is not a hazard to air navigation, does not violate the use restrictions contained in subsection (g) above, is properly marked and lighted, and does not interfere with airport operations.
- Pre-existing structures
Except as provided in subsection (2), below, the requirements prescribed by this section shall not be construed to require the removal, lowering, or other changes or alteration of any structure or vegetation not conforming to the regulations as of August 29, 1966, or where applicable, as of the effective date of any subsequent amendment to these regulations.
- Use restrictions
No use may be made of land or water within any zone established by this section in such a manner as to: 1. Create electrical or other interference with navigational signals or radio communication between the airport and aircraft; 2. Diminish the ability of pilots to distinguish between airport lights and other lights; 3. Result in glare in the eyes of flyers using the airport; 4. Impair visibility in the vicinity of the airport; 5. Create the potential for bird strike hazards; 6. Reduce the efficiency and effectiveness of any aviation navigational aid; or 7. Otherwise in any way endanger or interfere with the landing, takeoff, or maneuvering of aircraft.
From the ordinance
The Airport Navigation Overlay District (AN) shall be applied to the Airport Navigation Zone as set forth and defined in subsection (d), below, and shall be an overlay to the underlying base zoning districts as shown on the Official Zoning Map.
