The purpose of this chapter is to protect public use airports in the county from nearby incompatible land uses and development by:

(1) Establishing criteria to be used to identify and discourage incompatible uses in the vicinity of public use airports;

(2) Identifying areas where incompatible uses should be discouraged;

(3) Notifying property owners if their property is located adjacent to a public use airport that they may experience impacts from airport operations and may be subject to use, height, or other limitations;

(4) Discouraging the siting of uses that attract birds, create visual hazards, discharge particulate matter in the air that could alter atmospheric conditions, emit transmissions that would interfere with aviation communications or instrument landing systems, or otherwise obstruct or conflict with aircraft patterns;

(5) Identifying potential aeronautical hazards and preventing or minimizing the adverse impacts to the safe and efficient use of navigable airspace by requiring proof of an airspace analysis pursuant to Federal Aviation Administration regulations before issuing permits for projects that are proposed for development adjacent to public use airports;

(6) Recognizing and supporting county public use airports as essential public facilities and significant economic resources; and

(7) Encouraging economic development opportunities and aviation-related uses adjacent to airports in urban growth areas. (Added by Amended Ord. 15-025, May 6, 2015, Eff date May 24, 2015).
