B. Application Of Minimum Operating Standards: Minimum standards for airpark operations shall meet the airport minimum standards of chapter 4 of this title, as amended.
In addition, a person conducting commercial aeronautical activities in approved areas of the airpark (hereinafter referred to as "operator"), shall, as a condition of conducting such activities, comply with all applicable requirements concerning such activities as set forth in these airpark minimum operating standards and any amendments thereto. The requirements set forth in chapter 4 of this title and herein are the minimum standards which are applicable to persons conducting commercial aeronautical activities in approved areas of the airpark, and all persons are encouraged to exceed such minimum standards in conducting their activities. Chapter 4 of this title and these airpark minimum operating standards shall be deemed to be a part of each operator's commercial aeronautical activities permit unless any such provisions are waived or modified by the city pursuant to chapter 4 of this title. The mere omission of any particular standard from an operator's written commercial aeronautical activities permit shall not constitute a waiver or modification of such standard in the absence of clear and convincing evidence that the city intended to waive or modify such standard.
C. Multiple Activities By One Operator: Whenever an operator conducts multiple activities pursuant to one commercial aeronautical activities permit with the city, such operator must comply with the minimum standards set forth herein for each separate activity being conducted. If the minimum standards for one of the operator's activities are inconsistent with the minimum standards for another of the operator's activities, then the minimum standards which are most restrictive and beneficial to the city, and/or which are most protective of the public's health, safety and welfare, shall apply.
D. Activities Not Covered By Airpark Minimum Operating Standards: Any person conducting a commercial aeronautical activity for which no specific minimum standards are expressly set forth in chapter 4 of this title or herein shall comply with all requirements set forth in the operator's commercial aeronautical activities permit, any requirements promulgated by the city and all applicable zoning ordinances and federal aviation regulations.
E. Waiver Or Modification Of Standards: The city may waive or modify any portion of these airpark minimum operating standards for the benefit of any governmental agency performing nonprofit public services, fire protection or firefighting operations, provided such waiver is in the best interest of the city and will not result in any unjust economic discrimination among commercial operators at the airport.
