13-19-3: DEFINITIONS:
   A.   Helipad means heliports, helistops, or helicopter landing facilities.
   B.   Emergency helicopter landing facilities are:
      1.   Rooftop sites. Rooftop sites are for emergency use and are approved in the building inspection process under requirements established by the building code and any additional requirements established by the city's fire department based on National Fire Protection Association references. These sites are painted as "emergency only"; and
      2.   Medical Emergency Sites. Medical emergency sites are clear and level areas near the scene of an accident or incident that the local emergency response team designates as the place where the helicopter air ambulance is directed to land to transport an injured person to a hospital. The city's emergency planning personnel may pre-designate a medical emergency in the city. Pre-designating sites provides the opportunity to inspect potential sites in advance and to select sites that have adequate clear approach/departure airspace and adequate clear ground space.
