(A) ESTABLISHMENT OF AIRPORT LAND USE COMPATIBILITY ZONES <br />(1) The following five airport land use compatibility zones, or airport subzones, are <br />established to carry out the purposes of this Ordinance, as set forth in Section 2 <br />above. More specifically, the five airport land use compatibility zones <br />regulations in this Section restrict uses that may be hazardous to the operational <br />safety of aircraft operating to and from the Cox Field Airport. The zones <br />furthermore limit population and building density in the runway approach area to <br />avoid concentrations of people and create sufficient open space to protect life <br />and property in case of an accident. Additionally, the zones restrict uses that <br />would be adversely affected by airport operational impacts, such as noise, if <br />placed in the respective zone with or without mitigation measures. All of the <br />zones are also subject to the standards of Section 6 (C) (3), General Performance <br />Standards. <br />(B) APPLICABILITY OF LAND USE RESTRICTIONS AND EXEMPTIONS <br />(1) The land use compatibility standards of Section 6 (C) shall apply to all properties <br />located within one or more of the airport land use compatibility zones, also <br />known as sub — zones, established in Section 6 (A) above. <br />(C) LAND USE COMPATIBILITY STANDARDS <br />(1) Intent <br />This Section's land use compatibility standards restrict uses that may be hazardous to <br />the operational safety of aircraft operating to and from the Cox Field Airport, and to <br />limit population and building density in the runway approach areas, avoid <br />concentrations of people, and create sufficient open space to protect life and property <br />in case of accident. <br />(2) Applicability <br />a. The land use compatibility standards in this Section shall apply to all activities and <br />uses of land located in one or more of the airport land use compatibility zones, or <br />sub — zones, established in Section 6 (A). <br />b. In addition, the general performance standards of Section 6 (C) (3) shall apply to <br />all uses that may otherwise be exempt from the land use compatibility standards. <br />(3) General Performance Standards Applicable to All Uses in All Zones. <br />Subject at all times to the height restrictions set forth in Section 5, all uses made of <br />any land in any of the airport land use compatibility zones defined in Section 6 (A) <br />shall comply with all of the following performance standards, as applicable: <br />a. Outdoor Lighting <br />No use shall project lighting directly onto an existing runway or taxiway or into <br />existing airport approach and landing paths except where necessary for safe <br />convenient air travel. Lighting for any new or expanded use shall incorporate <br />shielding in their designs to reflect light away from airport approach and landing <br />17 <br />
