A. In order to carry out the purpose and intent of the airport compatibility overlay as set forth in this chapter, and to restrict those uses that may be hazardous to the operational safety of aircraft operating within the airport influence area, the city hereby creates and establishes the following airspace surfaces as airspace protection areas for Runway 07-25:

1. Primary Surface. A surface longitudinally centered on the runway and extending two hundred feet beyond each runway end. The primary surface is at the same elevation as the elevation of the nearest point on the runway centerline. The primary surface width is two hundred fifty feet.

2. Approach Surface. Inclined planes extending upward and outward from the ends of the primary surface. The approach surface is two hundred fifty feet wide at the intersection with the primary surface. It extends outward for a distance of five thousand feet at a twenty-to-one slope and is one thousand feet at its widest point.

3. Transitional Surface. A surface extending outward and upward, at right angles to the runway centerline and runway centerline extended, from the sides of the primary surface and the approach surfaces. The slope is seven to one and the surface extends until it intersects with the horizontal surface.

4. Horizontal Surface. Horizontal plane one hundred fifty feet above the established airport elevation, the perimeter of which is constructed by swinging arcs of specified radii from the center of each end of the primary surface of each runway. Tangents then connect the adjacent arcs. The radius of each arc is five thousand feet.

5. Conical Surface. A surface which extends upward and outward from the outer limits of the horizontal surface for a horizontal distance of four thousand feet. The slope of the conical surface is twenty to one measured in a vertical plane.

B. Notification to Federal Aviation Administration. Nothing in this chapter shall diminish the responsibility of project proponents to submit a notice of construction or alteration to the Federal Aviation Administration if required in accordance with Federal Regulations Title 14 Part 77, “Objects Affecting Navigable Airspace.”
