Notes
This document excerpt addresses off-airport land use compatibility, distinguishing between incompatible land uses (such as residential development, smoke-producing industry, and places of public assembly including schools, hospitals, and churches) and compatible land uses (such as agriculture, playgrounds, and automobile parking). It outlines types of ‘appropriate action’ airport sponsors may take, including developing off-airport land use plans, enacting zoning ordinances restricting land use to activities compatible with airport operations, and working with other public agencies to obtain appropriate zoning.
