All operators shall provide services and manage their operations in accordance with the provisions of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Pub. L. No. 88-352), as amended, being 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000d - 2000d-7. Accordingly, no person shall be denied equal services on the grounds of race, age, sex, color, national origin or ability.

LIMITATIONS ON HEIGHT OF OBJECTS AROUND AIRPORT
For the purpose of this subchapter, the following definitions shall apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning.
AIRPORT. The Municipal Airport.
AIRPORT ELEVATION. The highest point of an airport’s usable landing area measured in feet from sea level. The Municipal Airport is 1,068 feet above sea level.
APPROACH SURFACE. A surface longitudinally centered on the extended runway centerline, extending outward and upward from the end of the primary surface and at the same slope as the approach zone height limitation slope set forth in § 92.48. In plan the perimeter of the approach surface coincides with the perimeter of the approach zone.
APPROACH, TRANSITIONAL, HORIZONTAL AND CONICAL ZONES. These zones are set forth in § 92.47.
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT. A Board consisting of five members appointed by the Surry County Board of Commissioners as provided in G.S. Chapter 63, Article 4.
CONICAL SURFACE. A surface extending outward and upward from the periphery of the horizontal surface at a slope of 20:1 for a horizontal distance of 4,000 feet.
HAZARD TO AIR NAVIGATION. An obstruction determined to have a substantial adverse effect on the safe and efficient utilization of the navigable airspace.
HEIGHT. For the purpose of determining the height limits in all zones set forth in this subchapter and shown on the zoning map, the datum shall be mean sea level elevation unless otherwise specified.
HORIZONTAL SURFACE. A horizontal plane 100 feet above the established airport elevation, the perimeter of which in plan coincides with the perimeter of the horizontal zone.
LARGER THAN UTILITY RUNWAY. A runway that is constructed for and intended to be used by propeller-driven aircraft of greater than 12,500 pounds maximum gross weight and jet-powered aircraft.
NONCONFORMING USE. Any pre-existing structure, object of natural growth or use of land which is inconsistent with the provisions of this subchapter or any amendment thereto.
NONPRECISION INSTRUMENT RUNWAY. A runway having an existing instrument approach procedure utilizing air navigation facilities with only horizontal guidance, or area type navigation equipment, for which a straight-in nonprecision instrument approach procedure has been approved or planned.
OBSTRUCTION. Any structure, growth or other object, including a mobile object, which exceeds a limiting height set forth in § 92.48.
PERSON. An individual, firm, partnership, corporation, company, association, joint stock association or governmental entity; includes a trustee, a receiver, an assignee or a similar representative of any of them.
PRECISION INSTRUMENT RUNWAY. A runway having an existing or planned instrument approach procedure utilizing an instrument landing system (ILS) or a precision approach radar (PAR). It also means a runway for which a precision approach system is planned and is so indicated on an approved airport layout plan or any other planning document.
PRIMARY SURFACE. A surface longitudinally centered on a runway. When the runway has a specially prepared hard surface, the primary surface extends 200 feet beyond each end of that runway; for military or planned hard surface, the primary surface ends at each end of that runway. The width of the primary surface is set forth in § 92.47. The elevation of any point on the primary surface is the same as the elevation of the nearest point on the runway centerline.
RUNWAY. A defined area on an airport prepared for landing and takeoff of aircraft along its length.
STRUCTURE. An object, including a mobile object, constructed or installed by a person, including but without limitation buildings, towers, cranes, smokestacks, earth formation and overhead transmission lines.
TRANSITIONAL SURFACES. These surfaces extend outward at 90-degree angles to the runway centerline and the runway centerline extended at a slope of seven feet horizontally for each foot vertically from the sides of the primary and approach surfaces to where they intersect the horizontal and conical surfaces. TRANSITIONAL SURFACES for those portions of the precision approach surfaces, which project through and beyond the limits of the conical surface, extend a distance of 5,000 feet measured horizontally from the edge of the approach surface and at 90 degree angles to the extended runway centerline.
TREE. Any object of natural growth.
UTILITY RUNWAY. A runway that is constructed for and intended to be used by propeller aircraft of 12,500 pounds maximum gross weight and less.
(Ord. eff. 6-9-2003)
(A) In order to carry out the provisions of this subchapter, there are hereby created and established certain zones which include all of the land lying beneath the approach surfaces, transitional surfaces, horizontal surfaces and conical surfaces as they apply to the Municipal Airport. The zones are shown on the Municipal Airport Zoning Map consisting of one sheet, representing the current version on file in the Surry County Zoning Department, which are attached to the ordinance comprising this subchapter and made a part hereof. An area located in more than one of the following zones is considered to be only in the zone with the more restrictive height limitation.
(B) The various zones are hereby established and defined as follows.
(1) Runway larger than utility with a visibility minimum greater than three-fourths mile nonprecision instrument approach zone. The inner edge of this approach zone coincides with the width of the primary surface and is 500 feet wide. The approach zone expands outward uniformly to a width of 3,500 feet at a horizontal distance of 10,000 feet from the primary surface. Its centerline is the continuation of the centerline of the runway.
(2) Transitional zones. The transitional zones are the areas beneath the transitional surfaces.
(3) Horizontal zone. The horizontal zone is established by swinging arcs of 10,000 feet radii 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.
(4) Conical zone. The conical zone is established as the area that commences at the periphery of the horizontal zone and extends outward therefrom a horizontal distance of 4,000 feet. The conical zone does not include the transitional zone.
