Mr. Otto D~oce~ded to explain the 3 land use zones. The concept behind land use ~ zoning i~ that there is more risk to property and persons closer t~i~he~!runway than there is farther away from runway. Consequently the restriCtiOns for areas closer to the runway are strict and lessen as you move !f~rt~er away from the runway. Zone A- ~st~ictions prohibit buildings, temporary structures, exposed transmissi.~n ~ines, power poles and uses which create or attract assemblies of perso~s~ Bermitted uses in Zone A are agriculture, wildlife habitat, light no~r~-~pe~tator outdoor recreation, cemeteries, auto parking. Existing uses in Zone Amay continue as nonconforming uses. Zone A extends 2200' from each )f .~he runway ends. The acquisition of all properties within Zone A iS ~ec~mmended and until they are, all uses remain as they are. New uses in ~c ~e A would have to apply for an airport permit and approach the Airport ~c ~rdiof Adjustment for a variance. If the airport project is approved .a'%d property is aoquired, there would only be airport uses in Zone a. ~ Zone B- ~st~ictions prohibit churches, hospitals, schools, theatres, stadiums~ ,~ot~ls/motels, trailer courts, campgrounds, etc. and subdivision of lots. kll iproperties in Zone B, particularly the northern Zone B, are exempt f~ r~Strictions because the use was established prior to July 2, 1979. ~s~ri~ions that will apply to these properties is that they cannot be subdivided. There would also be height and eletro-magnetic restrictiO~,s' i The bulk of the property in the southern Zone B is exempted from zone ~ r~strictions because those uses were also established prior to July 2, ~9~9. i There is a portion of that Zone B where a use has not been established and future use restrictions would apply to this property (minimum l~t ~ize would be 2.5 acres and all uses listed above would be prohibited~.;~Permitted types of future uses include residential, commerciS~l~'~ i~dustrial, agriculture and open space. There are building plot restrictions. Fourteen square feet of open space is required for every square foot of building space on the plot. There is also a site populatiOn'i ra~io of 15 persons/acre. Zone C -B~st~ictions prohibit open dumps, waste disposal sites, sanitary landfill~ ~nd ilany other uses which emit smoke, dust or steam in sufficient quantities!fro ibe incompatible with safe flight operations. Residential, commerciali!and industrial uses that would normally occur in the city are permitted.~ E~.'isting uses that are currently permitted to occur will be allowed ~o~co~tinue. Any new uses would have to apply to the Board of Adjustment'fo~ permits or variances. City coUr~c~l acts as the Airport Zoning Board. That Board would adopt the zoning o~d~na~ce and be responsible for amending it from time to time as necessary. ~ I~ order to maintain compliance with land use, persons wishing to make i~ro~ements to their property would need a building permit and an airport l~e~mi~, both of which are to be handled by the Building Inspector There is ~6 f~e for the airport permit and no provision to create a feel If a vari~a~ce ils required, the property c~ner would approach the Board of Adjustmen~ a~board consisting of 3 Planning and Zoning members and 2 Airport~~sion m~mbers. Persons in disagreement with a permit variance granted.'~by~ith~ Zoning Official may make an appeal to that Board. That Airport Zoning Board/March 11, 1987 Page 3 of 12
