§ 11.12.010. Limitations within specific zones.  


Latest version.
  • A.

    Except as otherwise provided in Division I of this title, no structure or tree shall be erected, altered, allowed to grow or be maintained in any zone identified in Chapter 11.08 of this division to a height in excess of the height limit established in this chapter for such zone. Such height limitations are established for each of the zones so identified as follows:

    1.

    Precision Instrument Approach Zone. One foot in height for each fifty feet in horizontal distance, beginning at a point two hundred feet from and at the centerline elevation of the end of Runway 36L and extending to a distance of ten thousand two hundred feet from the end of the runway; thence one foot in height for each forty feet in horizontal distance to a point fifty thousand two hundred feet from the end of the runway;

    2.

    Nonprecision Instrument Approach Zones. One foot in height for each forty feet in horizontal distance, beginning at a point two hundred feet from and at the centerline elevation of the end of Runways 18R and 6-24 and extending to a point ten thousand two hundred feet from the end of the runway;

    3.

    Transition Zones. One foot in height for each seven feet in horizontal distance, beginning at a point five hundred feet normal to and at the elevation of the centerline of the runways, extending two hundred feet beyond each end thereof, extending to a height of one hundred fifty feet above the airport elevation which is thirty-three feet above mean sea level. In addition to the foregoing, there are established height limits of one foot vertical height for each seven feet horizontal distance, measured from the edges of all approach zones for the entire length of the approach zones and extending upward and outward to the points where they intersect the horizontal or conical surfaces. Further, where the precision instrument approach zone projects through and beyond the conical zone, a height limit of one foot for each seven feet of horizonal distance shall be maintained beginning at the edge of the precision instrument approach zone and extending a distance of five thousand feet from the edge of the instrument approach zone, measured normal to the centerline of the runway extended;

    4.

    Horizontal Zone. One hundred fifty feet above the airport elevation, being the height of one hundred eighty-three feet above mean sea level;

    5.

    Conical Zone. One foot in height for each twenty feet of horizontal distance beginning at the periphery of the horizontal zone, extending to a height of three hundred fifty feet above the airport elevation.

    B.

    Excepted Height Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, nothing in Division I of this title shall be construed as prohibiting the growth, construction or maintenance of any tree or structure less than thirty-five feet above the surface of the land within any zone herein described.

    C.

    Conflicting Height Limitations. Where an area is covered by more than one height limitation, the more restrictive limitations shall prevail.
