2040-1: PURPOSE:
On or about June 15, 2016, the FAA issued a final policy statement on the use of hangars at federally obligated airports ("final hangar use policy"). See FAA policy on the nonaeronautical use of airport hangars, 81 federal register 38,906-38,911 (June 15, 2016). Ogden City, as sponsor of a federally obligated airport is required to implement the final hangar use policy. The final hangar use policy constitutes minimum hangar use requirements and invites airport sponsors to consider and implement more specific limitations on uses of airport hangars consistent with FAA policies. The Ogden-Hinckley Airport receives substantial subsidies from federal, state and local governments for the purpose of supporting and enhancing aeronautical activities on the airport. Use of airport premises for other than aeronautical purposes may divert such funds to an improper use and may limit aeronautical activity on the airport. To ensure that nonaeronautical uses of hangars are merely incidental and do not occupy space that could reasonably accommodate additional aeronautical uses, this administrative policy adopts a thirty percent (30%) limitation on nonaeronautical storage in hangars. It is the purpose of the Ogden City administration to minimize hangar waiting lists and maximize aeronautical activity at the airport by adopting this policy consistent with the FAA's final hangar use policy.
