SUBJECT: Second Hearing: Request to Adopt the Proposed Airport
Zoning Ordinance and Other Proposed Land Development
Regulation (LDR) Amendments
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its special
meeting of March 18, 1993.
BACKGROUND AND CONDITIONS-:
At its special hearing of March 2, 1993, the Board of County
Commissioners reviewed and considered two proposed ordinances: the
Airport Zoning Ordinance, and another ordinance containing a
collection of LDR amendments (see attachment #1). At the meeting,
the Board directed staff to make changes to the Airport Zoning
Ordinance. No changes were recommended to be made to the proposed
-LDR amendment ordinance. The Board also indicated that it intended
to consider final adoption of the ordinances at the March 18, 1993
scheduled special hearing.
Staff has made revisions to the Airport Zoning Ordinance based upon
direction given by the Board at its March 18th meeting. No
revisions have been made to the proposed LDR amendment ordinance.
The Board is now to consider final action on both proposed
ordinances.
ANALYSIS:
•Airport Zoning Ordinance
Since the March 2nd meeting, planning staff and attorneys office
staff revisited every section of the proposed Airport Zoning
Ordinance to make the proposal a "bare bones" ordinance. Staff
compared sections of the proposed ordinance with the Florida
Statutes 333 requirements and related administrative code and FAA
regulations. In staff's opinion, the structure of the ordinance
(e.g. purpose and intent, definitions, overlay zones, special
requirements sections) needs to remain the same to meet FS 333 and
related requirements (see attachment #2).
previously However, staff
determined that certain
P y proposed regulations can be
eliminated or streamlined.

MAR 18 199
BOOK 89 PAGE 55
The proposed ordinance version contained in the Board's back-up
materials clearly indicates the revisions made to the ordinance
version considered at the March 2, 1993 meeting. Changes were made
as described below.
1. All references to an "overflight" zone have been replaced by
references to a "runway clear" zone. "Runway clear zones" are
specifically referenced in FS 333.03 and encompass areas
smaller than the originally proposed "overflight zone".
2. The Height Notification "Airport Construction Waiver"
reference- has been replaced by a reference to "Airport
Construction Permit". Also, based upon recent discussions
with FDOT staff, the requirement for Planning and Zoning
Commission review and approval of such a permit has been
deleted. The ordinance has been revised to allow the
community development director to issue the permit. Thus, the
process has been streamlined. No extra fee is proposed to be
charged for the permit, since the review will be handled as
part of any project approval application (e.g. site plan
application). As required by FS 333.07, the ordinance still
contains detailed height variance criteria and procedures.
3. The "Overflight Zone" regulations and definitions have been
deleted. Instead, "Runway Clear Zone" regulations and
definitions have been inserted. Florida Statutes 333.03(3)
requires that the Airport Zoning Ordinance:
"...restrict new incompatible uses, activities, or
construction within runway clear zones, including uses,
activities, or construction in runway clear zones which
are incompatible with normal airport operations or
endanger public health, safety, and welfare by resulting
in congregations of people, emissions of light or smoke,
or attraction of birds."
Other sections of the proposed ordinance (see the "Special
Requirements" section, p. 11) already address the issues of light
and smoke emissions and attraction of birds. The Runway Clear Zone
regulations (see pp. 6, 7, & 8) must address "...congregations of
people...". The proposed ordinance minimally addresses
congregations of people by prohibiting schools, child care
facilities, hospitals, and places of worship. Previous
prohibitions and restrictions of fuel sales and storage, hotels and
motels, and building coverage have been deleted.
4. Some minor but no substantive changes to . the noise impact zone
regulations have been made. In staff's opinion, leaving the
avigation easement option in the ordinance will give property
owners more flexibility. Thus, the avigation easement option
remains in the proposed ordinance.
5. The definition of "Airport Overflight Zone" has been replaced
by a definition of "Airport Runway Clear Zone". The
definition's wording is based on a definition from 14 CFR Part
151 and has been verified by FDOT staff as the appropriate
definition for the ordinance. Specific dimensions of the
clear zone are not included in the definition since clear zone
areas vary by runway type. As previously reported, the only
publicly licensed airport clear zone areas in the
unincorporated area of the county are:
4
- a small area located on the west side of Roseland Road
(from Sebastian Municipal Airport); and
areas north and south of the New Hibiscus Airport.
In the opinion of planning staff and county attorneys office staff,
the revised Airport Zoning Ordinance represents a "bare bones"
ordinance meeting the minimum requirements of FS 333.
•LDR Amendments Ordinance
At the March 2nd hearing, the Board expressed no objections or
concerns regarding any portion of the ordinance as proposed.
Therefore, staff has made no revisions to the proposed ordinance
since the March 2nd hearing.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners adopt the
attached Airport Zoning Ordinance and the LDR Amendments Ordinance.
Director Boling explained the four major changes which were
made in the proposed airport zoning regulations as a result of the
first public hearing:
1. Delete "overflight zone" and replace with "runway clear
zone." The term "runway clear zone" is consistent with Florida
Statute 333, and the area of a runway clear zone is smaller than an
overflight zone. As a result, the new terminology is less
restrictive. The entire runway clear zone at the Vero Beach
Municipal Airport is within airport property. A small area outside
the Sebastian Airport, which is part of a much larger parcel, will
be affected by the new ordinance. The runway clear zone extends
quite a bit beyond the Hibiscus Airport property.
2. The revisions result in fewer restrictions on what can be
built within the runway clear zone.
3. The Planning & Zoning Commission will not have to be
notified of the height of proposed structures. Staff will be able
to grant permit requests if they are consistent with Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements.
Director Boling commented that concern was expressed about the
noise impact zone and avigation easements. Few changes were made
in the noise impact zone, and staff felt it was best to leave the
avigation easement option in the ordinance because it affords
property owners more flexibility. He indicated that the ordinance
is "bare bones" under the requirements of the State. Deputy County
Attorney William G. Collins II has prepared interlocal agreements
between the County and the City of Vero Beach, and between the
County and the City of Sebastian. The interlocal agreements
5
BAR 181993
BOOK 89 F',1GE 5
BuoK 89 FnE 57
MAR 1 8 1993
provide for the County to adopt an airport zoning ordinance in
accordance with Florida Statute 333 and the respective cities can
adopt their own ordinances.
Attorney Collins advised that the state requires interlocal
agreements to be executed in conjunction with adoption of the
ordinance. The County ordinance as well as the airport zoning
regulations of Vero Beach and Sebastian will be attached to the
agreements and filed with the Clerk of the Circuit Court.
Commissioner Macht asked whether the City of Vero Beach's
ordinance is the same as this one, and Director Boling explained
that Vero Beach has not yet adopted an ordinance.
The Chairman opened the public hearing on the proposed airport
zoning ordinance and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this
matter.
R. J. MacMillan, part owner of the property adjacent to
Hibiscus Airport, stated that the changes that were made are
helpful to him but there is still a height problem because the
runway ends just 30 feet from his property.
Commissioner Macht pointed out that the ordinance does not
specifically prohibit structures over one foot in height for every
100 feet of distance from the runway. However, the FAA must be
notified of such structures.
Director Boling emphasized that whether this ordinance is
adopted or not, the FAA must be notified of proposed construction.
The ordinance also establishes a variance procedure, whereby a
determination can be made based upon the FAA's comments.
Mr. MacMillan felt that the County made a serious mistake in
not adopting the ordinance when the Hibiscus Airport was moved to
its present location 25 years ago. He realized that the County
must pass this ordinance but felt that he should be compensated for
the loss of use of his property. He emphasized that he talked to
County staff before purchasing the property and the potential
height restrictions were never mentioned to him. The County is now
making it impossible for him to develop about 1/3 of his property,
and he and his partners may decide to take this matter to court.
He mentioned that the owners of the airport have the space to move
the runway farther away from the property line but
interested in doing so.
Chairman Bird pointed out that structures higher
limit can possibly be built with proper notification to the FAA.
Further discussion ensued regarding maximum heights allowed
500 feet from a runway.
are not
than the
6
Bill Sherry, airport director of the City of Vero Beach,
understood the County's position but was concerned about removing
the overflight zone. He felt that although the proposed ordinance
meets the minimum standards of Florida Statute 333, it falls short
of Department of Transportation (DOT) recommendations. He was
fearful that public safety was being compromised.
Evelyn Neville, owner of the property on the north side of SR -
60 across from the airport, asked whether her property will be
affected by the ordinance.
Director Boling responded that some of Ms. Neville's property
is in the runway clear zone area. Her property line is about 700
to 800 feet away from the runway. If she wanted to build a
structure in the middle of her property, the FAA would have to be
notified of its location and proposed height and the FAA would then
determine whether the building would be a hazard.
Mrs. Neville asked whether the FAA will be considerate in
their judgment about what she can or cannot do.
Director Boling pointed out that the height notification
requirements are a much lower slope than the actual standards the
FAA uses. As long as the height of the building does not exceed
the actual standards, the FAA should come back with a no hazard
ruling.
Commissioner Eggert pointed out that even if we did not pass
this ordinance, the federal requirements would still be in place.
It was determined that no one else wished to be heard on this
proposed ordinance and the Chairman closed the public hearing.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Macht, the Board unanimously (4-0,
Commissioner Tippin being absent) adopted Ordinance
93-7, amending Chapters 901 and 911 of the Land
Development Regulations and providing for repeal of
conflicting provisions, codification, severability
and effective date; and establishing section 911.17,

AIRPORT ZONING
This section shall be known as the Indian River County Airport
Zoning Ordinance.
jj PURPOSE AND INTENT.
The purpose of this airport zoning ordinance is to provide both
airspace protection and land use compatibility with airport
operations in Indian River County. This ordinance, through
establishment of airport overlay zones and corresponding
regulations, provides for independent review of development
proposals in order to promote the public interest in safety,
health, and general welfare in Indian River County as well as to
ensure that all publicly licensed airports in Indian River County
can effectively function. Therefore, the Indian River County Board
of County Commissioners deems it necessary to regulate uses of land
located within or near the traffic patterns of airports through
regulation of height of structures and objects of natural growth,
and through regulation of land uses within noise impacted areas and
runway clear zone areas.
There is hereby adopted and established the official airport zoning
regulations pursuant to the authority conferred on the Board of
County Commissioners of Indian River County, Florida, consistent
with Chapters 163 and 333, Florida Statutes.

in DEFINITIONS.
All terms defined in the Indian River County Land Development
Regulations, Chapter 901, are applicable in this section.
jfj AIRPORT ZONES OF INFLUENCE.,
Indian River County hereby adopts three (3) airport overlay zones
which are shown on the county's official zoning atlas. These zones
are established to regulate development in proximity to the
following licensed public use airports located within Indian River
County: Vero Beach Municipal Airport, Sebastian Municipal Airport,
and New Hibiscus Airport. The location of these zones of influence
is hereby established by this Ordinance. Boundaries of these Zones
of Influence may be changed only by way of an amendment of the
official zoning atlas, pursuant to Section 902.12 of the land
development regulations. All development applications for land
within these zones of influence shall comply with the airport
zoning regulations of Section 911.17. In addition, development
within these airport overlay zones shall also comply with
applicable underlying zoning district requirements as referenced in
Chapter 911, Zoning, of the county's land development regulations.
Following are the three airport overlay zones:
• Airport Height Notification Zone (Subzone A and Subzone
• Airport Runway Clear Zone; and
• Airport Noise Impact Zone.
Where a zone of influence overlays a portion of a property, only
that portion within the zone shall be affected by the zone
regulations. Furthermore, in relation to applying runway clear
zone and noise impact zone requirements, use regulations shall
apply to the structure or facilities constituting the use and shall
not generally apply to accessory open space, landscape and
buffering, stormwater management, or driveway and parking uses.
Airport Height Notification Zone and Regulations.
1. Establishment of Zone. The Airport Height
Notification zone is hereby established as an
overlay zone on the adopted county zoning atlas.
This zone is established to regulate the height of
structures and natural vegetation for areas in
proximity to the licensed public use airports
located within Indian River County. The Airport
Height Notification Zones, consists of two
subzones, defined as follows:
Subzone A. The area surrounding each Licensed
Public Use•Airport extending outward
20,000 feet from the ends and each
side of all active runways.
Subzone B. That area within the unincorporated
area of the county not within
Airport Height Notification Subzone
A.
2. Height Notification Regulations. A11 development
proposals for land within the height notification
zone shall be forwarded to the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) to be reviewed for conformance
with the Obstructions Standards detailed in Title
14, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 77 ,Subpart C.
(14 CFR Part 77).

Part 77, the Board of Adjustment may grant an
Airport Obstruction Variance for a proposed
development. Such a variance may be granted if
the Board determines that a literal
enforcement of the regulations would result in
practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship
and where the relief granted would not be
contrary to the public interest (i.e. the
development can be accommodated in navigable
airspace without adverse impact to the
county's public use airports or aviation
operations) but would do substantial justice
and be in accordance with the spirit of
chapter 333, Florida Statutes, and provided
that:
i. A condition is attached to the variance
approval to require that the approved
structure(s)% is marked and lighted to
indicate to aircraft pilots the presence
of an obstruction in accordance with the
standards of FAA Advisory Circular Number'
70/7460-1G., as it may be amended. Where
such marking or lighting is required,
such requirement shall be satisfied prior
to the issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy (C.O.) for the affected
structure.
ii. FAA determines the aeronautical
evaluations submitted are valid.
iii. Consideration is given to:
1. The nature of the terrain and height
of existing structures.
2. Public and private interests and
investments.

1. Zone Establishment. There is hereby created and
established as an overlay zone on the adopted
county zoning atlas a runway clear zone for areas
at each end of every active runway at all publicly
licensed airports. Within a runway clear zone,
certain uses are restricted or prohibited to reduce
incompatibilities with normal airport operations
and danger to public health.

1E1 Airport Noise Impact Zone and Regulations.
1. Zone Establishment. There is hereby created and
established as an overlay zone on the adopted
county zoning atlas an airport noise impact zone
for areas surrounding all publicly licensed
airports. The noise zone is an area in which uses
are restricted and special construction standards
are to be used to minimize the impact of airport
generated noise routinely produced by continuation
of normal airport operations. The airport noise
impact zone is defined as follows: -
An area contiguous to a publicly licensed airport
measuring one-half (1/2) the length of the longest
active runway on either side of and at the end of
each active runway centerline. For land use
control purposes, this boundary shall be considered
to be consistent with the 65 to 70 ldn zone
determined by an official Part 150 Noise Study.
Notwithstanding other provisions of this section,
should any publicly licensed airport conduct an
official 14 CFR Part 150 study, the boundaries of
that airport's noise impact zone shall be modified
to comply with the official noise study, subject to
amendment of the official zoning atlas as addressed
in Section 911.17(4) of these regulations.
2. Noise Impact Zone Land Use Regulations.
Provisions of this section shall apply to
construction, alteration, moving, repair and use of
any building or structure within the Noise Impact
Zone.
a. Permitted Uses. The following uses shall be
permitted within the established noise overlay
