FAR Part 77 Surfaces and RPZs have been combined to create five airport overlay zones. These five zones are designed to maintain compatible land uses around the Clinton Municipal Airport. The zones shall be evaluated for compatible land uses.
8.A. Definition of Zones
Five airport overlay zoning districts are prescribed within this ordinance. Specific dimensions for the individual zones for each runway end are noted in the following tables and text.
The Airport Land Use & Height Overlay Zoning Maps should be evaluated to determine the specific area of impact associated with each zone.
Zone A - Runway Protection Zone (RPZ)
Zone A is intended to provide a clear area that is free of above-ground obstructions and structures. This zone is closest to the individual runway ends. The dimensional standards for this zone are the same as those described in the Airport Design AC (AC 150/5300-13 Change 11) and are shown in the following table.
Table Zone A Dimensional Requirements
Runway Ends | Approach Visibility Minimums 1 | Dimensions | |||
Length L feet | Inner Width W1 feet | Outer Width W2 feet | RPZ acres | ||
Runway 3 | Lower than ¾ mile | 2,500 | 1,000 | 1,750 | 78.914 |
Runway 14 | Visual and not lower than 1-mile | 1,700 | 500 | 1,010 | 29.465 |
Runway 21 | Visual and not lower than 1-mile | 1,700 | 1,000 | 1,510 | 48.978 |
Runway 32 | Visual and not lower than 1-mile | 1,000 | 500 | 700 | 13.770 |
1 The RPZ dimensional standards are for the runway end with the specified approach visibility minimums. The departure RPZ dimensional standards are equal to or less than the approach RPZ dimensional standards. When an RPZ begins other than 200 feet (60m) beyond the runway end, separate approach and departure RPZs should be provided. Refer to FAA AC 150/5300-13, Change 11, and Appendix 14 for approach and departure RPZs.

Zone B - Approach Surface
Zone B is a critical airport overlay zoning surface that reflects the approach and departure areas for each runway at an airport. The size of Zone B is predicated upon the type of approach (visual, non-precision, or precision) that a specific runway has and the type/size of aircraft utilizing the runway. The following table illustrates the various sizes of Zone B based upon the specific runway criteria. A portion of Zone B is overlain by Zone A because the approach surface and RPZ overlap the entire length of the RPZ. Consequently, the length of Zone B begins at the inner edge of the RPZ.

Item | Runway Dimensional Standards (Feet) | |||
Runway 3 | Runway 14 | Runway 21 | Runway 32 | |
Item | Runway Dimensional Standards (Feet) | |||
Runway 3 | Runway 14 | Runway 21 | Runway 32 | |
Primary surface width and Zone B inner width | 1,000 | 500 | 500 | 500 |
Zone B end width | 16,000 | 3,500 | 3,500 | 3,500 |
Zone B length | 10,000 | 10,000 | 10,000 | 10,000 |
Zone C width | 1,050 | 1,050 | 1,050 | 1,050 |
Zone D radius | 10,000 | 10,000 | 10,000 | 10,000 |
Zone E width | 4,000 | 4,000 | 4,000 | 4,000 |
Zone C - Transitional Surface
Zone C includes those areas that are parallel to the runway pavement and extend 1,050' from the edge of the primary surface paralleling the runway and extended runway centerline until they reach the end of Zone A at a 90 degree angle. The specific dimensions for Zone C are based upon various options for the primary surface that is predicated upon the type of approach and critical aircraft.
Zone D - Horizontal Surface
Zone D is typically elliptical in shape, depending upon the runway types and configurations at individual airports.
Zone E - Conical Surface
Zone E is the outermost zone of the airport overlay zoning areas and has the least number of land use restriction considerations. The zone begins at the edge of the horizontal surface and is 4,000 feet in width paralleling the horizontal surface.
8.B. Zone Compatibility
The following tables shall be utilized to evaluate land use compatibility for various land use classifications.
(A) Uses identified as compatible shall not require additional review, however, consideration should be given to the following five areas of concerns:
(1) Noise sensitive related issues
(2) High concentrations of people
(3) Tall structures
(4) Visual obstructions
(5) Wildlife and bird attractants
(B) Uses found to be NOT compatible shall be precluded from development within the specific zones.
(C) Uses found to require additional review shall be evaluated for general compatibility utilizing the Compatible Land Use Planning Checklist and the five primary areas of concern noted above.
