A. Use Restrictions: Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, the following standards shall be in full force and effect within the airport overlay zoning district:
1. No glare producing materials shall be used on the exterior of any structure, including any metal building, which are hazardous to aviation, or result in glare in the eyes of pilots using the airport (zones 1, 2, 2A and 2B).
2. There shall be neither display of signs which produce a flashing or blinking effect that would interfere with aircraft or a pilot's ability to identify airport lights, nor any lighting projecting upward that would interfere with aircraft or a pilot's ability to identify airport lights (zones 1, 2, 2A, 2B and 3).
3. No structure or use on land or water shall create electrical or electronic interference with navigational signals, or radio or radar communications between the aircraft and a ground station (all zones).
4. No structure or use shall impair the visibility in the vicinity of the airport, or otherwise endanger or interfere with the landing, taking off, or maneuvering of aircraft intending to use the airport, including the emission or discharge of smoke, steam or other obscuring phenomena which would interfere with the health and safety of pilots and the public in the use of the airport, or which would otherwise be detrimental or injurious to the health, safety, and general welfare of the public in the use of the airport (zones 1, 2 , 2A, 2B and 3).
B. Notify Persons Of Adverse Impacts; Nonliability Of City: Persons constructing a structure or structural alteration within zones 1, 2, 2A, 2B and 3, shall be advised that such structure or structural alteration is situated in the area of the airport and may be subject to noise, dust, lights, and the arrival and departure of aircraft, which may cause damage to dwellings or other structures, or may adversely impact the health of animals. The city, its officers, agents, or employees will not be responsible for any adverse impacts of any description whatsoever as a result of aircraft or airport operations.
C. Airport Zones: All airport zones established by this chapter are shown on the airport zoning map on file with the department and adopted as part of this chapter.
D. Height Zones: All height zones previously established by the Menomonie municipal airport height limitation zoning ordinance and shown on a map dated June 30, 2004, are now included in this chapter and shown on the airport zoning map.
E. Height Limitations: Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, no structure, tree or growth shall be erected, altered, allowed to grow, or be maintained within any of the six (6) airport zones established by this chapter to an elevation in excess of the applicable elevation limitations as shown on the airport zoning map. The permitted elevation shall not exceed the elevation limitation numbers shown within the various zones encompassed by this chapter.
F. District Boundaries:
1. District boundary lines are centerlines of highways, roads or pavements, section, division of section, tract, or lot lines, or extensions of such lines, as applicable, or as otherwise indicated.
2. When a district line divides a lot/parcel of record existing prior to the effective date hereof, in such a manner that a use is not permitted in the most restrictive district of such lot, but is permitted on that portion of such lot in the lesser restrictive district, then a permitted use may be developed only on that portion of the lot/parcel where it is permitted, provided:
a. The proposed use meets the underlying municipal zoning requirements;
b. The use complies with all applicable setback requirements;
c. A site plan, drawn to scale showing the location of the use and the district line on that lot/parcel, is submitted to the department and is reviewed and approved pursuant to the procedure contained herein.
3. Zone 1 shall be considered the most restrictive, and zone 4 shall be considered the least restrictive.
G. Buildings To Conform With Regulations: Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, no land, building, or structure shall hereafter be used or occupied, and no building, structure or part thereof shall hereafter be erected, constructed, reconstructed, moved or structurally altered, except in conformity with all the regulations herein.
H. Conflict: The provisions of this chapter shall prevail over the zoning districts and regulations of the city of Menomonie, Dunn County, the town of Red Cedar, the town of Menomonie, and the town of Spring Brook. However, the provisions of this chapter shall be considered minimum requirements. In zones 2, 2A, 2B, 3 and 4, where a conflict exists between any of these zoning regulations and any other regulations or ordinances applicable to the same site, whether the conflict is with respect to the height of structures, or growths, the use of land, or any other matter, the more stringent regulations or ordinances shall govern and prevail.
