This chapter regulates development and new land uses in the airport zoning districts established by Section 19.40.010. The intent of these regulations is to protect the development of the Chico Municipal Airport for the benefit of the public and to promote compatible uses of adjacent or nearby land. The purposes of the individual airport zoning districts and the manner in which they are applied are as follows.
A. A (Aviation) District. The A zoning district is applied to areas of the airport site appropriate for aircraft operations and support facilities. The A zoning district is consistent with the Public Facilities and Services land use classification of the General Plan.
B. AC (Airport, Commercial) District. The AC zoning district is applied to areas of the airport site appropriate for commercial activities, including passenger services. The AC zoning district is primarily intended to implement the Commercial Mixed Use land use designation of the General Plan.
C. AM (Airport, Manufacturing/Industrial) District. The AM zoning district is applied to areas appropriate for light industrial, manufacturing, and distribution uses that are related to aviation, require access to air transportation, or are otherwise compatible with the operational characteristics of the airport. The AM zoning district is primarily intended to implement the Manufacturing and Warehousing land use designation of the General Plan.
D. AP (Airport, Public Facilities) District. The AP zoning district is applied to areas appropriate for public services uses in support of airport operations. The AP zoning district is consistent with the Public Facilities and Services land use classification of the General Plan.
See also the -AE (Airport Environs) overlay zoning district, Section 19.52.020.
(Ord. 2185, Ord. 2427 §28)
The Airport Commission shall have the authority to review and approve, conditionally approve, modify or deny applications for site design and architectural review, use permit, and variance applications within the A and AP zoning districts in compliance with Division III (Land Use and Development Permit Procedures). Applications for land use entitlements within the AM and AC zoning districts shall be reviewed and acted on by the Planning Commission, Architectural Review and Historic Preservation Board, Zoning Administrator, or Director as established in Chapter 19.12 (Appeals) and Division III (Land Use and Development Permit Procedures). Notwithstanding the above, the Director may refer an application within the AM or AC zoning district to the Airport Commission for either a recommendation or final action if there are aviation-related issues associated with a particular application.
(Ord. 2185)(Ord. 2435 §26, Ord. 2439 §177)

Table 4-10 identifies the uses of land allowed by these Regulations in each airport zoning district, and the land use entitlement required to establish the use, in compliance with Section 19.40.020-B (Zoning district regulations).
