§ 152.23 LAND USE SAFETY ZONING.
   (A)   Safety zone boundaries. In order to carry out the purpose of this subchapter, as set forth in § 152.20, and also in order to restrict those uses which may be hazardous to the operational safety of aircraft operating to and from the airport, and furthermore, to limit population and building density in the runway approach areas, thereby creating sufficient open space so as to protect life and property in case of an accident, there are hereby created and established the following land use safety zones.
      (1)   Safety zone A. All land in that portion of the approach zones of a runway, as defined in § 152.22(A), which extends from the end of primary surface a distance of 1,000 feet from the end of the primary surface, as shown by the zoning map in § 152.24.
      (2)   Safety zone B. All land in that portion of the approach zones of a runway, as defined in § 152.22(A), which extends outward from safety zone A a distance of 9,000 feet, as shown by the zoning map in § 152.24.
      (3)   Safety zone C. All that land which is enclosed within the perimeter or the horizontal zone, as defined § 152.22(A), and which is not included in zone A or zone B.
   (B)   Use restrictions. Subject, at all times, to the height restriction set forth in § 152.22(B), no use shall be made of any land in any of the safety zones defined in § 152.22(A) which creates or causes interference with the operations of radio or electronic facilities on the airport or with radio or electronic communications between the airport and aircraft, makes it difficult for pilots to distinguish between airport lights and other lights, results in glare in the eyes of pilots using the airport, impairs visibility in the vicinity of the airport, or otherwise endangers the landing, taking off, or maneuvering of aircraft.
      (1)   Zone A. Subject at all time to the height restrictions set forth in § 152.22(B), and to the general restrictions contained in § 152.22(B), areas designated as zone A shall contain no buildings or temporary structures, except as allowed under § 152.25(A), and shall be restricted to those uses which will not create, attract, or bring together an assembly of persons thereon. Permitted uses may include: agricultural; light outdoor recreation (nonspectator); cemeteries; and auto parking.
      (2)   Zone B. Subject at all times to the height restrictions set for in § 152.22(B), and to the general restrictions contained in division (B) above, areas designated as zone B shall be restricted in use as follows:
         (a)   Each use shall be on a site whose area shall not be less than three acres;
         (b)   Each use shall not create, attract, or bring together a site population that would exceed 15 times that of the site acreage;
         (c)   Each site shall have not more than one residential building plot upon which any number of structures may be erected;
         (d)   A residential building plot shall be a single, uniform, and non-contrived area, whose shape is uncomplicated and whose area shall not exceed the following minimum ratios with respect to the total site area; and
 
Site Area at Least (Acres)
But Less Than (Acres)
Ratio of Site Area to Building Plot Area
Building Plot Area (Square Feet)
