§ 45-3104. Airport zone height limitations.

Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, no structure shall be erected, altered, or maintained, and no tree shall be allowed to grow in any zone created by this chapter, to a height in excess of the applicable height herein established for such zone. Such applicable height limitations are hereby established for each of the zones in question, as follows:

(1)

Precision instrument runway approach zone: Slopes fifty (50) feet outward for each one (1) foot upward beginning at the end of and at the same elevation as the primary surface and extending to a horizontal distance of ten thousand (10,000) feet along the extended runway centerline; thence slopes upward forty (40) feet horizontally for each foot vertically to an additional horizontal distance of forty thousand (40,000) feet along the extended runway centerline.

(2)

Runway larger than utility with a visibility minimum greater than three-quarter (¾) mile nonprecision instrument approach zone: Slopes thirty-four (34) feet outward for each one (1) foot upward beginning at the end of and at the same elevation as the primary surface and extending to a horizontal distance of ten thousand (10,000) feet along the extended runway centerline.

(3)

Transitional zones: Slopes seven (7) feet outward for each one (1) foot upward beginning at the sides of and at the same elevation as the primary surface and the approach surface, and extending to a height of one hundred fifty (150) feet mean sea level. In addition to the foregoing, there are established height limits sloping seven (7) feet outward for each one (1) foot upward beginning at the sides of and the same elevation as the approach surface, and extending to where they intersect the conical surface. Where the precision instrument runway approach zone projects beyond the conical zone, there are established height limits sloping seven (7) feet outward for each one (1) foot upward beginning at the sides of and the same elevation as the approach surface, and extending a horizontal distance of five thousand (5,000) feet measured at ninety-degree angles to the extended runway centerline.

(4)

Horizontal zone: Established at one hundred fifty (150) feet above the airport elevation which amounts to a maximum height of one hundred ninety-three (193) feet above mean sea level.

(5)

Conical zone: Slopes twenty (20) feet outward for each foot upward beginning at the periphery of the horizontal zone and at one hundred fifty (150) feet above the airport elevation and extending to a height of three hundred fifty (350) feet above the airport elevation which amounts to a maximum height of three hundred ninety-three (393) feet above mean sea level.
