Airport Zoning Ordinance
In 1982 the Airport Was' lookin~-~t-'-some expansion and some
Federal Funds. Before the Federal Government provides the
funding that there be a Land Use Control Plan for the area
of influence, such as a Zoning Plan. The City came up with
the Zoning Ordinance at that time for the Laurel Airport..
The purpose of the guidelines.:~et..up ~y~he ~6ning o~dinan=~'~
was to provide for the safety of the airport users and the
property owners within the vacinity of the Airport. The
number of aircraft, noise level, future development.and of
course the views and mandates of the Federal Agency charged
with the control of Civil Aeronautics are also considered.
Discussion on ~oise levels.
Flight patterns were explained.
The City-County Planning Board was appointed to be the Zonin9
Commission for the Airport. It has the authority to approve
or disapprove pmoposed uses within the airport zone unless
it is overruled by the Airport Board (The Airport AuthorityT.
There are two zones, noise level and flight patterns.
Cal has a problem with ~his Ordinance and feels it needs to
be changed. Most'of the Ordinance deals with height requirements
around the airport, and nothing can be grown or built within
a certain area unless it conforms to the height limitations.
The Ordinance reads now that with a Special Review, a height
requirement can be reviewed. He would like to see the'Ordinance
changed to read that there be no special review.required in the
flight pattern zone, but the height requirement would still
have to conform.
Cal states that we are really not changing anything, we are
correcting it.
Motion by Lonnie Kellogg, seconded by Clarence Foos to
omit the Special Review requirement on Flight patterns
(Sec. 17.56.010). Motion carried.
Don Gudgell states that his term is up next month~and is wondering
if there have been any applications. He has also re-applyed.
Question raised on raising pheasants in the city limits. The
Ordinance specifies a certain amount of animals, and pheasants
ar~ not mentioned.
Question on the Maryland Lane project. People that live around
the area are screaming about the dirt and concrete /~ being dumped
in the High Point Park. The neighbors claim that it was told
to them that it would stay a "natural" area.
The contract does state that the contractor will eventually
level off the park once'the project is done, and it will be
an improvement over the alkali that is there now.
RespectfUlly submitted,
Cheryll Lund, Secretary
