MAR 18 199 <br />BOOK 89 PAGE 55 <br />The proposed ordinance version contained in the Board's back-up <br />materials clearly indicates the revisions made to the ordinance <br />version considered at the March 2, 1993 meeting. Changes were made <br />as described below. <br />1. All references to an "overflight" zone have been replaced by <br />references to a "runway clear" zone. "Runway clear zones" are <br />specifically referenced in FS 333.03 and encompass areas <br />smaller than the originally proposed "overflight zone". <br />2. The Height Notification "Airport Construction Waiver" <br />reference- has been replaced by a reference to "Airport <br />Construction Permit". Also, based upon recent discussions <br />with FDOT staff, the requirement for Planning and Zoning <br />Commission review and approval of such a permit has been <br />deleted. The ordinance has been revised to allow the <br />community development director to issue the permit. Thus, the <br />process has been streamlined. No extra fee is proposed to be <br />charged for the permit, since the review will be handled as <br />part of any project approval application (e.g. site plan <br />application). As required by FS 333.07, the ordinance still <br />contains detailed height variance criteria and procedures. <br />3. The "Overflight Zone" regulations and definitions have been <br />deleted. Instead, "Runway Clear Zone" regulations and <br />definitions have been inserted. Florida Statutes 333.03(3) <br />requires that the Airport Zoning Ordinance: <br />"...restrict new incompatible uses, activities, or <br />construction within runway clear zones, including uses, <br />activities, or construction in runway clear zones which <br />are incompatible with normal airport operations or <br />endanger public health, safety, and welfare by resulting <br />in congregations of people, emissions of light or smoke, <br />or attraction of birds." <br />Other sections of the proposed ordinance (see the "Special <br />Requirements" section, p. 11) already address the issues of light <br />and smoke emissions and attraction of birds. The Runway Clear Zone <br />regulations (see pp. 6, 7, & 8) must address "...congregations of <br />people...". The proposed ordinance minimally addresses <br />congregations of people by prohibiting schools, child care <br />facilities, hospitals, and places of worship. Previous <br />prohibitions and restrictions of fuel sales and storage, hotels and <br />motels, and building coverage have been deleted. <br />4. Some minor but no substantive changes to . the noise impact zone <br />regulations have been made. In staff's opinion, leaving the <br />avigation easement option in the ordinance will give property <br />owners more flexibility. Thus, the avigation easement option <br />remains in the proposed ordinance. <br />5. The definition of "Airport Overflight Zone" has been replaced <br />by a definition of "Airport Runway Clear Zone". The <br />definition's wording is based on a definition from 14 CFR Part <br />151 and has been verified by FDOT staff as the appropriate <br />definition for the ordinance. Specific dimensions of the <br />clear zone are not included in the definition since clear zone <br />areas vary by runway type. As previously reported, the only <br />publicly licensed airport clear zone areas in the <br />unincorporated area of the county are: <br />4 <br />
