§ 14-531 /HHC, Heliport Hazard Control Overlay District. 580

 

Notes

580	Added, Bill No. 210482-A (approved July 1, 2021).

(1) Purpose.

This section is intended to recognize the importance of preventing hazards to aircraft navigation that may result from the height of structures in areas surrounding certain helipads. The regulations create the appropriate zones and applicable boundaries where height restrictions for structures or uses of land will be limited so as not to obstruct the airspace required for aircraft landing or taking off from certain helipads, or would otherwise be hazardous to aviation operations during landing or take-off. The limitations intended to mitigate such obstructions are established in order to protect the safety and general welfare of helicopter operators and passengers, as well as to protect the safety and general welfare of property and occupants of land in the vicinity of a helipad and to continue to foster economic growth for the region.

(2) Heliport Areas.

(a)   Thomas Jefferson University Hospital Heliport Area.  581

The Thomas Jefferson University Hospital Heliport Area shall be associated with Thomas Jefferson University Hospital Heliport (FAA location identifier 9PA8) and shall consist of the area bounded by Sansom Street, 10th Street, Walnut Street, 9th Street, Spruce Street, and 13th Street.
