15-24-4: USES ALLOWED IN EACH AIRPORT ZONE:

The "airport district" is defined as those properties that are within the area bordered by Hinckley Dr., 4400 South (south city boundary), the west city boundary adjacent to Roy City, and the east city boundary adjacent to Riverdale City. The area is centered about the Ogden-Hinckley airport and contains both public and private lands.

(Ord. 2002-24, 6-4-2002, eff. 6-16-2002)

15-24-2: AIRPORT DISTRICTS PURPOSE:

The purpose of each zoning category within the airport district is described below:

A. Airport Commercial Zone (A-C):

1. District Characteristics: This airport commercial zone is intended to protect and preserve prime lands within the airport district for high quality aeronautically related commercial development.

2. Purpose Of District: The airport commercial zone provides for sales and services with access to the Ogden-Hinckley airport. It is intended that such sales and services be aeronautically related in nature, or support other aeronautical activities.

B. Airport Industrial Zone (A-I):

1. District Characteristics: The airport industrial zone is intended to protect and preserve lands within the airport district for limited aeronautically related industrial, research or manufacturing uses. The airport industrial zone is also intended to protect and preserve land for aeronautical uses such as airplane hangars, taxi lanes, fixed base operators, etc. The airport industrial zone may be established on airport district properties that are appropriate for limited aeronautically related industrial, research, or manufacturing uses, as well as properties that are appropriate for aeronautical uses in support of airport operations.

2. Purpose Of District: The purpose is to accommodate a range of aeronautically related industrial uses that are of limited intensity, e.g., aeronautically related parts manufacturing and research and development, and other aeronautical uses in support of airport operations, e.g., hangars, tie down areas, fixed base operators, etc. The uses should be aeronautical in nature, or support aeronautical activities, should not create hazards or emissions of noxious odors, smoke or noise, nor have exterior storage of materials or parts.

(Ord. 2002-24, 6-4-2002, eff. 6-16-2002)

15-24-3: DEFINITIONS:

As used in this chapter, the following terms mean:

AERONAUTICAL ACTIVITY OR PRODUCT: Any activity or product which involves, makes possible or is required for the operation of aircraft, or which contributes to or is required for the safety of such operations.

AIRPORT APPROACH AREA: The specified area at each end of the airport landing area required for the safe flight of aircraft in landing, taking off or maneuvering at or in the vicinity of the airport.

AIRPORT APPROACH, TRANSITIONAL, HORIZONTAL, AND CONICAL SURFACE ZONES: These zones apply to the area under the approach, transitional, horizontal, and conical surfaces as defined in subsection 15-24-10D of this chapter.

AIRPORT ELEVATION: The elevation in feet above mean sea level of the highest point of the landing area of the airport.

AIRPORT HAZARD: Any structure or natural growth of use of land which penetrates, obstructs, or restricts the airspace required for the safe flight of aircraft in landing, taking off, or maneuvering at or in the vicinity of an airport, or is otherwise hazardous to such landing, taking off, or maneuvering of aircraft.

AIRPORT INSTRUMENT LANDING AREA: A landing area equipped with precision electronic air navigation aids adequate to permit the landing of aircraft by an instrument approach under restricted visibility conditions.

AIRPORT LANDING AREA: The runway or the specially prepared surface within the boundaries of an airport designed for aircraft landing and taking off operations.

AIRPORT NONINSTRUMENT LANDING AREA: Any landing areas other than an instrument landing area.

AIRPORT 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 has been approved or planned, and for which no precision approach facilities are planned or indicated on an FAA planning document or military service's military airport planning document.

AIRPORT PRECISION INSTRUMENT RUNWAY: A runway having an existing 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 by an FAA approved airport layout plan or any other FAA planning document, or military service's military airport planning document.

When the runway has a specifically prepared hard surface, the primary surface extends two hundred feet (200') beyond the end of that runway; but when the runway has no specifically prepared hard surface, or planned hard surface, the primary surface ends at the end of that runway. The width of the primary surface of a runway will be that width prescribed in part 77 of the federal aviation regulations (FAR) for the most precise approach existing or planned for either end of that runway. The elevation of any point on the primary surface is the same as the elevation of the nearest point on the runway centerline.

AIRPORT RUNWAY: The paved surface of an airport landing area.

AIRPORT VISUAL RUNWAY: A runway intended solely for the operation of aircraft using visual approach procedure with no straight in instrument approach procedure and no instrument designation indicated on an FAA approved airport layout plan, a military service's approved military airport layout plan, or by any planning document submitted to the FAA by competent authority.

15-24-8: ARCHITECTURAL CHARACTER AND OTHER GUIDELINES FOR THE AIRPORT COMMERCIAL (A-C) ZONE:

Structures shall be developed in a way that is in harmony with the setting and consistent with the intended uses. They should reflect a contemporary style and should be unified in terms of materials and colors to achieve a campus like feel.

A. Building Facades: Structures shall be designed with equal emphasis placed on all sides, rather than placing all emphasis on the front elevation of the structure. The same types of building materials shall be used on all four (4) sides, though the amount of material used on each side may vary. Structures shall be designed and arranged with variations in wall surfaces by using such things as varying textures, materials and planes to avoid a blank wall appearance.

B. Materials: Buildings shall be constructed with materials of durability and quality. Walls shall be constructed of rough textured stucco, concrete, concrete masonry units, bricks, stone or other material with similar appearance. All concrete shall have texturing over a minimum of two-thirds (2/3) of the exposed surface. In no case are metal premanufactured buildings permitted nor shall metal sided structures be built. Roof materials shall have dull finishes. In the areas where the new buildings are mixed with existing structures, compatibility of materials is required as long as the materials meet the material types listed in this subsection.

C. Colors: Building colors shall be predominantly warm, muted earth tones. Brighter colors may only be used for accents or detailing (maximum 10 percent of surface area, excluding signage) if desired.

D. Screening Of Mechanical Equipment: All rooftop mechanical equipment shall be concealed from public view to the maximum extent possible by screening it with integral portions of the architecture. "Concealed from public view" is determined by what a person would see when standing on the public sidewalk in front of the building. All conduits, vents and other appurtenances shall be painted to match the color of the surrounding building surfaces.

E. Walkways: Parking lot walkways within the site shall be located and aligned to directly and continuously connect areas or points of pedestrian origin and destination, and shall not be located solely based on the outline of a parking lot configuration that does not provide such direct pedestrian access.

F. Fencing: No fencing shall be allowed to extend beyond the front line of the main building. For properties that are a corner lot, fencing shall not extend beyond the side of the building facing the street.
