<br />since the airport was transferred to the City of San Marcos from the <br />DepBrt1l1eIlt of Defense and the oonditions of transfer require that the <br />facility be used for aerooautical purposes. <br /> <br />~ lllaiqJd- ~iJ'g' Plan <br /> <br />'!be ~ of airport height zoning is to prevent the construction of <br />strUctures or natural growth which would constitute hazards or <br />obstrUctions to aircraft operating from the airport. Such an <br />ordinance can be an effective method of controlling the height of <br />strUctures and trees around an airport, and of generally improving <br />land use OCIlptibillty in the imnedi.ate environs of an airport. <br /> <br />Appendix B is a graphic representation of the airspace zoning <br />recommended for San Marcos, and is included in this report to show <br />ally the general concept. 'Ibis Height/Hazard Zoning map is unchanged <br />from that included in the previous Master Plan and is still valid. <br />'.l11e report copy should not be used for legal reference, and full-sized <br />drawings should be oonsulted for purposes of accurately determining <br />the limits of the zoning. <br /> <br />ApPendix B represents zoning for ultimate airfield development as <br />contained in this plan. Changes in runway length and/or alignment <br />would cause changes in the zoning ordinance and require that the <br />ordinance be updated and revised as airfield development progresses. <br />It is recx:IIlmended that the zoning ordinance adopted reflect the zoning <br />required for the ultimate develqment. <br /> <br />A Model Ai.J:port Height ZOOing ordinance has been provided to the City <br />of San Marcos as a separate document. '!be model ordinance should be <br />considered as a guide, and will likely require modification and <br />revision to acoanmodate the specific needs of San Marcos. The model <br />ordinance and airspace zoning plan are in compliance with Federal Air <br />Regulations, Part 77, "Cbjects Affecting Navigable Airspace-. Part 77 <br />establishes standards for determining obstructions in navigable <br />airspace, and sets forth the requirements for notice to the FAA of <br />certain proposed construction or alterations. It also provides for <br />airspace studies of obstructions to air navigation and of the <br />hazardous effect of prqxJBed construction or alterations on aviation <br />activity . <br /> <br />7.2 <br />
