(b) any structure which a person or persons customarily use as a principal residence and which is located entirely within Safety Zone A or B and which penetrates an imaginary approach surface as defined by airspace zoning in the proposed ordinance and map; (c) any land use in Safety Zones A and B which violates any of the following standards; (i) the land use must not create or cause interference with the operation of radio or electronic facilities on the airport or with radio or electronic communications between the airport and aircraft; (ii) the land use must not make it difficult for pilots to distinguish between airport lights and other lights; (iii) the land use must not result in glare in the eyes of pilots using the airport or impair visibility in the vicinity of the airport; (d) any isolated residential building lot zoned for single- family or two-family residences on which any structure, if built, would be prohibited by subparagraphs (a), (b) or (c) above. An "isolated" residential building lot is one located in an area in which the predominant land use is single-family or two-family residential structures; and (e) any other land use which presents, in the opinion of the Commissioner, a material danger to the landing, taking off or maneuvering of aircraft or to the safety of persons on the ground. In making such a determination, the Commissioner shall consider the following factors: (i) possibility that the land use may contribute to or cause a collision of two or more aircraft or an aircraft and some other object; (ii) possibility that the land use may, in case of an aircraft accident, cause an explosion, fire or the release of harmful or noxious fumes, gases or substances; (iii) tendency of the land use to increase the number of persons that would be injured in case of an aircraft accident; (iv) effect of the land on availability of clear areas for emergency landings; and (v) flight patterns around the airport, the extent of use of the runway in question, the type of aircraft using the airport, whether the runways are lighted, whether the airport is controlled and other similar factors.
