§ 45-3103. Airport zones and zoning map.

In order to carry out the provisions of this chapter, there are hereby created and established certain zones that include all of the land lying beneath the approach surfaces, transitional surfaces, horizontal surfaces, and conical surfaces as they apply to the Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport. Such zones are shown on the City of Newport News Zoning Maps.

An area located in more than one (1) of the following zones is considered to be only in the zone with the more restrictive height limitation. The various zones are hereby established and defined as follows:

(1)

Precision instrument runway approach zone:

a.

This zone applies to runway 7R-25L and proposed runway 7L-25R.

b.

The inner edge of this approach zone coincides with the width of the primary surface and is one thousand (1,000) feet wide. The approach zone expands outward uniformly to a width of sixteen thousand (16,000) feet from the primary surface. Its centerline is the continuation of the centerline of the runway.

(2)

Runway larger than utility with a visibility minimum greater than three-quarters (¾) mile nonprecision instrument approach zone:

a.

This zone applies to runway 2-20.

b.

The inner edge of this approach zone coincides with the width of the primary surface and is five hundred (500) feet wide. The approach zone expands outward uniformly to a width of three thousand five hundred (3,500) feet at a horizontal distance of ten thousand (10,000) feet from the primary surface. Its centerline is the continuation of the centerline of the runway.

(3)

Transitional zones: The transitional zones are the areas beneath the transitional surfaces.

(4)

Horizontal zone: The horizontal zone is established by swinging an arc of ten thousand (10,000) feet from the center of each end of the primary surface of each runway and connecting the adjacent arcs by drawing lines tangent to those arcs. The horizontal zone does not include the approach and transitional zones.

(5)

Conical zone: The conical zone is established as the area that commences at the periphery of the horizontal zone and extends outward there from a horizontal distance of four thousand (4,000) feet.
