(d) Height limitations shall include the following : An area located in more than one of the des- cribed zones is considered to be , only in the zone with the more restrictive height limitation. The various zones are hereby es- tablished and defined as follows : 1 . Public Civil Airport Height Zones and Limitations A. Primary Zone - An area longitudinally centered on a runway, extending 200 feet beyond each end of that runway with the width so specified for each runway for the most precise approach existing or planned for either end of the runway. No structure or obstruction will be permitted within the primary zone, that is not part of the landing and the take-off area, and is of a greater height than the nearest point on the runway centerline. The width of the primary zone is as follows : (1) Runways 18 , 36 , 14 and 32 ; 250 feet for utility runways having only visual approaches . (2) Runway 22 ; 500 feet for visual runways having only visual approaches . (3) Runway 4; 500 feet for nonprecision instrument runways having visibility minimums greater than three-fourths statute mile . The width of the primary zone of a runway will be that width prescribed in this section for the most precise approach existing or planned for either end of that runway. O.R. 1128 PG 9558 53 No structure or obstruction will be permitted within the primary zone, that is not part of the landing and take-off facilities and is of greater height than the nearest point on the runway centerline . B . Horizontal Zone - The area around the City of Zephyrhills Airport with an outer boundary the perimeter of which is constructed by swinging arcs of specifie&radii from the center of each end of the primary zone of each airport ' s runway and connecting the adjacent arcs by lines tangent to those arcs . The radius of each arc is : CO (1) Runways 18 , 36 , 14, 32 and 22 ; CO 5 , 000 feet for all runways desig- nated as utility or visual ; O scr (2) Runway 4; 10 ,000 feet for all other runways . The radius of the arc specified for each end of a runway will have the same arithmetical value . That value will be the highest com- posite 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 . No structure or obstruction will be permitted in the horizontal zone that has a height greater than 150 feet above the airport height . C . Conical Zone - The area extending outward from the periphery of the horizontal zone for a distance of 4, 000 feet. Height limitations for structures in the conical zone are 150 feet above airport height 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. D. Approach Zone - An area longitudinally centered on the extended runway centerline and extending outward from each end of the primary surface . An approach zone is desig- nated for each runway based upon the type of approach available or planned for that runway end. 011128" X559 54 (1) The inner edge of the approach zone is the same width as the primary zone and it expands uniformly to a width of: (i) Runways 18 , 36 , 14, and 32 ; 1 , 250 feet for that end of a utility runway with only visual approaches ; (ii) Runway 22 ; 1 ,500 feet for that end of a runway other than a utility runway with only visual approaches ; (iii) Runway 4; 3 ,500 feet for that end of a non-precision instrument runway other than utility, having visi- bility minimums greater than three-fourths of a statute mile; (2) The approach surface extends for a horizontal distance of: (i) Runways 18 , 36 , 14, 32 , and 22 ; 5 ,000 feet for all utility and visual runways ; (ii) Runway 4; 10 ,000 feet for all nonprecision instrument runways other than utility. (3) The outer width of an approach zone to an end of a runway will be that width prescribed in this subsec- tion for. the most precise approach existing or planned for that runway end. (4) Permitted height limitation within the approach zones is the same as the runway end height at the inner edge and increases with horizontal distance outward from the inner edge as follows : (i) Runways 18 , 36 , 14, 32 , and 22 ; Permitted height increases one foot vertically for every 20 feet horizontal distance for all utility and visual runways . (ii) Runway 4; Permitted height increases one foot vertically for every 34 feet horizontal distance for all non- precision instrument runways other than utility. 0.11128 PG 9560 55 E. Transitional Zone - The area extending outward from the sidesof the primary zones and approach zones con- necting them to the horizontal zone. Height limits within the transitional zone are the same as the primary zone or approachzone at the boundary line where it adjoins and increases at -a\rate of one foot vertically for every seven feet horizontally=, with the horizontal distance measured at right angles to the runway cen-terline and extended centerline, until the height matches the .height of 't he horizontal zone or conical zone or for a horizontal dist nce'o.f, 5000 feet from the side of the part of the precision approach zone that 0/ extends beyond the conical zone. CO F. Other areas - In addition to the height OD limitations imposed in paragraphs A through E above, no= structure-)or-.. obstruction will be permitted within the City of Zephyrlills that would cause a minimum obstruction clearance altitude,.: a minimum: ,; descent altitude or a decision height to be raised, - G. Airport Master Plan - The Airport.., ` Master Plan Figure 7 - 2 , Sheet 3 of 8 and Figure 7 - 3 , Sheet 4 of 8 shall be incorporated into this Ordinance as a diagrammatic expla- nation of (d) Height Limitations . SECTION 7 . The ZEPHYRHILLS CITY CODE,Appendix A - Zoning, Section III General Provisions (6) Building height shall be amended by adding the following : Compliance with all requirements set forth in the A - P Airport Zoning District and in other applicable local and state law with regard to heights in the vicinity of airports shall be a part of all review of proposed building heights prior to issuance of building permits .
