(A) Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, no structure or tree shall be erected, altered, allowed to grow, or be maintained in any zone created by this chapter to a height in excess of the applicable height limit established for that zone. The applicable height limitations are established for each of the zones in question as follows.
(1) Utility runway visual approach zone. Slopes upward 20 feet horizontally for each foot vertically, beginning at the end of, and at the same elevation as the primary surface and extending to a horizontal distance of 5,000 feet along the extended runway centerline.
(2) Runway larger than utility with a visibility minimum greater than ¾ mile non-precision instrument approach zone. Slopes upward 34 feet horizontally for each foot vertically, beginning at the end of, and at the same elevation as the primary surface and extending to a horizontal distance of 10,000 feet along the extended runway centerline.
(3) Transitional zones. Slopes upward and outward seven feet horizontally for each foot vertically, beginning at the sides of, and at the same elevation as the primary surface and the approach zones and extending to a height of 150 feet above the airport elevation which is 804 feet above mean sea level. In addition to the foregoing, there are established height limits sloping upward and outward seven feet horizontally for each foot vertically, beginning at the sides of, and at the same elevation as the approach zones, and extending to where they intersect the conical surface.
(4) Horizontal zone. The height limitation is 150 feet above the airport elevation, or a height of 954 feet above mean sea level.
(5) Conical zone. Slopes upward and outward 20 feet horizontally for each foot vertically, beginning at the periphery of the horizontal zone and at 150 feet above the airport elevation and extending to a height of 350 feet above the airport elevation, as shown on the hazard map. This conical zone shall continue to slope outward and upward 20 feet horizontally for each foot vertically for a distance of 13,000 feet beyond the 350 foot contour to an elevation of 1,000 feet above airport elevation.
(B) Nothing in this chapter shall be construed as prohibiting the growth, construction, or maintenance of any tree or structure to a height as per the limitations established in this section.
