Title 16 MUNICIPAL AIRPORT
Chapter 16.08 AIRPORT ZONING*
16.08.030 Zones established and defined.
In order to carry out the provisions of this chapter, there
are created and established certain zones which include all of the land lying
within the noninstrument approach zones, transition zones, horizontal zone and
conical zone, Such areas and zones are shown on the Clovis Municipal Airport
zoning map consisting of one sheet, prepared by Lydick Engineers and Surveyors,
and dated September 1, 1970, which is attached to the ordinance codified in this
chapter and is made a part hereof as though set forth in this chapter. The
various zones are established and defined as follows:
A. Noninstrument Approach Zone. A noninstrument approach zone
is established at each end of all runways for noninstrument landings and
takeoffs. The noninstrument approach zone shall have a width of five hundred
feet at a distance of two hundred feet beyond each end of the runways, widening
thereafter uniformly to a width of two thousand five hundred feet at a distance
of ten thousand two hundred feet beyond each end of the runway, its centerline
being the continuation of the centerline of the runway.
B. Transition Zones. Transition zones are established
adjacent to each runway and approach zone as indicated on the zoning map.
Transition zones symmetrically located on either side of runways have variable
widths as shown on the zoning map. Transition zones extend outward from a line
two hundred fifty feet on either side of the centerline of the runways, for the
length of such runways plus two hundred feet on each end, and are parallel and
level with such runway centerlines. The transition zones along such runways
slope upward and outward one foot vertically for each seven feet horizontally to
the point where they intersect the surface of the horizontal zone. Further,
transition zones are established adjacent to the noninstrument approach zones
for the entire length of the approach zones. These transition zones have
variable width, as shown on the zoning map. Such transition zones flare
symmetrically with either side of the runway approach zones from the base of
such zones and slope upward and outward at the rate of one foot vertically for
each seven feet horizontally to the points where they intersect the surfaces of
the horizontal and conical zones.
C. Horizontal Zone. A horizontal zone is established as the
area within a circle with its center at the airport reference point and having a
radius of seven thousand feet. The horizontal zone does not include
noninstrument approach zones and the transition zones.
D. Conical zone. A conical zone is established as the area
that commences as the periphery of the horizontal zone and extends outward
therefrom a distance of five thousand feet. The conical zone does not include
the transition zones. (Ord. 1022 § 3, 1974).
