SECTION 3. PURPOSE.
The purpose of this Ordinance is to implement Airport Protection Zoning Regulations which
provide airspace and land use protection for the existing and expected future operations of the
Zephyrhills Municipal Airport in order to promote the public interest in safety,health, and general
welfare. Also,to provide efficient use of the Airport lands, to provide protection for adjacent land
uses and the residents of Zephyrhills and surrounding areas. The Zephyrhills City Council, as the
adopting political subdivision, finds that:
A. The creation or establishment of an airport hazard and incompatible land use reduces the
navigable airspace available in the region served by the airport;
B. It is necessary in the interest of the public health,public safety, and general welfare that the
creation or establishment of airport hazards and land incompatible with airport operations;
C. The prevention of these airport hazards and incompatible land uses should be accomplished,
to the extent legally possible, without compensation; and

for which the City Council may raise and expend public funds and acquire land or property
interests therein, or air rights thereover.
SECTION 4. APPLICATION PROCESS.
To prevent the Construction of Structures deemed to be hazardous to air navigation, each person
proposing to construct any.Structure, which will fall within one or more of the categories detailed
under Sections 5 and 6 of this Ordinance shall submit a Development Permit application to the
City of Zephyrhills Building Department(Building Department).
A. Any person proposing to construct any Structure, within 10 nautical miles of the airport
reference point, shall utilize the FAA Notice Criteria Tool(https://oeaaa.faa.gov)to determine
if the FAA will require the filing of a Form 7460-1, Notice of Proposed Construction or
Alteration. This shall be completed prior to submitting an application for Development Permit
to the City Building Depaitment for review. The Form 7460-1 will allow the FAA to conduct
a full Aeronautical Study in conformance with CFR Part 77 Subparts B and C. The
Aeronautical Study shall determine if the proposed structure is an obstruction and/or an airport
hazard. Coordination with the FAA typically can take up to 90 days to process. The FAA
issued Determination Letter shall be provided to the Airport manager at the pre-application
meeting and submitted to the Building Department along with the application form.
B. Pre-Application Meeting. Prior to applying for a Development Permit under Section 11.01.00
as amended of the Zephyrhills Land Development Code, applicants must coordinate with the
Airport Manager to ensure that the proposed development is in compliance with the provisions
of the Zephyrhills Municipal Airport Zoning Ordinance.
(1) Processing Development Permit Application. An application for a development
permit must contain a copy of the final FAA Determination Letter indicating
No Hazard to Air Navigation, if applicable; elevation drawings; and proposed
plans for the structure. The Airport Manager will indicate compliance with the
height and land use limitations prescribed by this Ordinance by annotating
signature approval on the Development Permit application. The Building
Department shall consider F.S. § 333.07(2) during the determination process.
Where the FAA has issued a Notice of Presumed Hazard, the Building
Department shall deny the Development Permit.
(2) A copy of the complete permit application shall be provided to the Florida
Department of Transportation Aviation and Space Ports Office via certified
mail or email for a 15-day review.
(a) In the event the Airport Manager denies an application for violating
the provisions of this Ordinance, the proposed Construction shall
not be permitted by the Building department. The applicant may
appeal the decision of the Building department to the Board of
Adjustment pursuant to Florida Statute 333
SECTION 5. AIRPORT HAZARD ZONES AND AIRSPACE HEIGHT LIMITATIONS.
A. To implemenrtle provisions of thisOrdinance,there are hereby-created-and established certain
zones,based upon airport imaginary surfaces identified in Section 77.19 of 14 CRF Part 77,
which include all of the land lying beneath the approach, transitional, horizontal and conical
surfaces (zones) as they apply to Zephyrhills Municipal Airport. Such zones are shown on the
Zephyrhills Municipal Airport Height Zoning Map which is attached to this Ordinance and
made a part hereof.
B. Except as otherwise provided in this Ordinance, no structure or object of natural growth shall
be constructed,erected,altered,or allowed to grow beyond the height of any imaginary surface
or zone created by this Ordinance in accordance with 14 CFR Part 77, Subparts B and C
without the FAA Aeronautical Evaluation Determination of No Hazard to Air Navigation
obtained through the Aeronautical Study process which is initiated by the submittal of the FAA
Form 7460-1. The FAA Notice Criteria Tool shall be utilized by the permit applicant, to
4
q
OR BK 9716 PG 1960
5 of 13
determine if a structure requires a Form 7460-1 submittal. Where an area is covered by more
than one height limitation under this section, the more restrictive limitation shall prevail. The
imaginary surfaces are established and defined as follows:
(1) Primary Surface (Zone): An area longitudinally centered on a runway, extending
200 feet beyond each end of that runway. The width of the primary surface is for the most precise
approach existing or planned for either end of that runway as follows:
Runways 5 and 23: 500 feet for Non-Precision-Instrument Runways having visibility
iminimums greater than three-fourths statute mile.
Runways 1 and 19: 1,000 feet for Precision Instrument Runways having visibility
minimums less than three-fourths statute mile.
No Structure or Obstruction will be permitted within the primary surface(zone)that is not a critical
part of the airfield and is of a greater height than the nearest point on the runway centerline.
(2) Horizontal Surface (Zone): A horizontal plan 150 feet above the established airport
elevation,the perimeter of which is constructed by swinging arcs of specified radii from the center
of each end of the primary surface of each runway and connecting the adjacent arcs by lines tangent
to those arcs. The radius of each arc is:
Runways 5, 23, 1, and 19: 10,000 feet for all runways not designated as visual or utility.
The radius of the arc specified for each end of a runway will have the same arithmetical value.
That value will be the highest composite value determined for either end of the runway. When a
5,000-foot arc is encompassed by tangents connecting two adjacent 10,000-foot arcs, the 5,000-
foot arc shall be disregarded on the construction of the perimeter of the horizontal zone.
(3) Conical Surface (Zone): The area extending outward and upward from the
periphery of the horizontal surface slope of 20 to 1 for a horizontal surface for a distance of 4,000
feet. Height limitations for Structures in the conical surface are 150 feet above Airport Elevation
at the inner boundary with permitted height increasing one foot vertically for every 20 feet of
horizontal distance measured outward from the inner boundary to a height of 350 feet above
Airport Height at the outer boundary.
(4) Approach Surface (Zone): An area longitudinally centered on the extended runway
centerline and extending outward from each end of the primary surface. An approach surface is
designated for each runway based upon the type of approach available or planned for that runway
end. The inner edge of the approach surface is the same width as the primary surface and it expands
uniformly to a width of:
Runways 1 and 19 (precision instrument runways): 16,000 feet.
Runways 5 and 23: 3,500 feet for that end of a Non-Precision-Instrument Runway other
than utility,having visibility minimums greater than three-fourths of a statute mile.
The approach surface extends for a horizontal distance of:
Runways -1=and-.19.(precision instrument-runways): 50,000 feet. The-:height increases 1
foot vertically for every 50 feet of horizontal distance for the first 10,000 feet, and then
increases 1 foot vertically for every 40 feet horizontal distance for an additional 40,000
feet.
Runways 5 and 23: 10,000 feet with a height increasing 1 foot vertically for every 34 feet
of horizontal distance for all Non-Precision-Instrument Runways other than utility.
The outer width of an approach zone to an end of a runway will be that width prescribed in this
subsection for the most precise approach existing or planned for that runway end.
(5) Transitional Surface (Zone): The area extending outward and upward at right
angles to the runway centerline and the runway centerline extended at a slope of 7 to 1 from the
5
OR BK 9716 PG 1961
6 of 13
sides of the primary surface and from the sides of the approach surfaces. Transitional surfaces for
those portions of the precision approach surface which project through and beyond the limits of
the conical surface, extend a distance of 5,000 feet measured horizontally from the edge of the
approach surface and at right angles to the runway centerline.
(6) Other areas: In addition to the height limitations imposed in subsections (b) (1)
through (5) of this section, no Structure or Obstruction will be permitted within the limits of the
City of Zephyrhills that would cause a Minimum Obstruction Clearance Altitude, a Minimum
Descent Altitude or a decision height to be raised.
C. Nothing in this Ordinance shall be construed as prohibiting the growth, construction or
maintenance of any object of natural growth(tree) or structure to a height up to 25 feet above the
surface of the land.
SECTION 6. AIRPORT LAND USE RESTRICTIONS.
A. Use Restrictions: Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Ordinance, no use may be
made of land within any zones established by this Ordinance in such a manner as to create a hazard
to the safe operation of an airborne aircraft.The following special requirements shall apply to each
permitted use:
(1) All lights or illumination used in conjunction with streets, parking, signs or use of
land and structures shall be arranged and operated in such a manner that it is not misleading or
dangerous to aircraft operating from a public airport or in the vicinity thereof.
(2) No operations of any type shall produce smoke, glare or other visual hazards within
three(3) statute miles of any usable runway of the Zephyrhills Municipal Airport.
(3) No operations of any type shall produce electronic interference with navigation
signals or radio communications between the Zephyrhills Municipal Airport and aircraft.
(4) Zone Establishment. There is hereby created and established as an overlay zone on
the adopted Municipal Boundary Map a Runway Protection Zone for areas at each end of every
active runway at the Zephyrhills Municipal Airport.Within a runway protection zone, certain uses
are restricted or prohibited to reduce incompatibilities with normal airport operations and danger
to public health. The following types of uses shall be prohibited within the runway protection
zone:
i. Educational Facilities.
ii. Hospitals,medical inpatient treatment facilities,nursing/convalescent home
facilities.
iii. Places of worship.
iv. Hazardous Materials or Fuel Storage.

imaginary surface as defined in 14 CFR Part 77, Section 77.19 and
determined by the FAA to pose a hazard.
Where any landfill is located and constructed in a manner that attracts or sustains hazardous bird
movements from feeding, water, or roosting areas into, or across, the runways or approach and
departure patterns of aircraft. The landfill operator must, at their own expense, incorporate bird
management techniques or other practices to minimize bird hazards to airborne aircraft
(6) Lighting. The FAA Aeronautical Study determination will specify requirements for
obstruction lighting. The owner of the obstruction must install, operate, and maintain obstruction
lighting at his/her own expense. Obstruction lighting shall conform with the FAA Advisory
Circular 70/7460-1, Obstruction Marking& Lighting.
(7) No educational facility, with the exception of aviation school facilities, shall be
permitted within an area extending along the centerline of any runway and measured from the end
of the runway and extending for a distance of five miles and having a width equal to one-half of
the runway length. Exceptions approving construction of an educational facility within the
delineated area shall only be granted when the Zephyrhills City Council makes specific findings
detailing how the public policy reasons for allowing the construction outweigh health and safety
concerns prohibiting such a location.
SECTION 7. RESTRICTIONS IN AIRPORT NOISE IMPACT AREA.
A. Construction of any new educational facility,with the exception of aviation school facilities,
or residential construction shall not be permitted within an Airport Noise Impact Area until such
time as the City amends this section. The provisions of this subsection do not apply to existing
residential or new residential construction within platted residential areas established on or before
September 1, 2007.
B. Construction of any educational facility within an area extending five miles along the runway
centerline of the airport and which has a width measuring one-half the length of the runway shall
be prohibited. The continued use or adjacent expansion of existing structures or new structures for
which a site has been determined as provided in F.S. § 235.19 as of July 1, 1993 are excluded.
SECTION 8. NONCONFORMING USES.
A. Regulations not retroactive. The regulations prescribed by this Ordinance shall not be
construed to require the removal, lowering or other changes or alteration of any structure not
conforming to the regulations as of January 1, 2008, or otherwise interfere with the continuance
of any nonconforming use. Nothing contained in this Ordinance shall require any change in the
construction, alteration, or intended use of any structure, the construction or alteration of which
was begun prior to January 1, 2008, and has not been abandoned.
B. Abandoned or Deteriorated Existing Nonconforming Use. In the event the City of
Zephyrhills Building Department determine that a nonconforming obstruction has been abandoned
or is more than 80% torn down, destroyed, deteriorated, or decayed, a permit may not be granted
if it would allow the obstruction to exceed the applicable height limit or otherwise deviate from
this airport protection zoning regulation. The owner of the nonconforming obstruction may be
required, at his or her own expense, to lower,remove,reconstruct, alter, or equip such obstruction
as may be necessary to conform to the current airport protection zoning regulations. Should the
owner neglect or refuse to comply within 10 days of notice, the City of Zephyrhills Building
Department may proceed to have the obstruction lowered, removed, reconstructed, altered, or
equipped, and assess the cost and expense thereof upon the owner of the obstruction or the land
whereon it is or was located.
C. Marking and lighting. Notwithstanding the provision of subsection (a) of this section, the
owner of any obstruction is hereby required to permit the installation, operation and maintenance
thereof of such markers and lights as deemed necessary by the FAA through the Aeronautical
Study. The FAA's Determination of No Hazard will identify the type of obstruction lighting and
marking required in accordance with Advisory Circular 70/7460-1, Obstruction Marking and
7
OR BKi61963
8 of 13
Lighting to indicate the presence of an obstruction to aircraft operators in the vicinity. Such
markers and lights shall be installed,operated and maintained at the expense of the property owner.
D. Acquisition of Air Rights(Avigation Easement). In the event the City of Zephyrhills Building
Department determine a nonconforming obstruction is an airport hazard and the owner will not
remove, lower, or otherwise eliminate it; the necessary approach protection be provided by
acquisition of property rights rather than by airport zoning regulations. The board of adjustment,
with recommendations by the airport authority,may acquire an avigation easement. The Board of
Adjustment shall,in addition to the damages for the taking,injury, or destruction of property, also
pay the cost of the removal and relocation of any structure or any public utility that is required to
be moved to a new location.
