§ 33-394. Establishment of land use zoning criteria for airports.

For the purpose of this article all of the land use zoning criteria for Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport and the surrounding area, as the same is created, established and described hereinbefore, is hereby divided into classifications as follows:

(1)

Inner District (ILZ). An ILZ covers an area measured as one-half the length of the longest runway at the airport on either side and at the end of each runway centerline at the airport.

(2)

Outer District (OLZ). The OLZ at an airport is based on VFR traffic pattern criteria and predominant type of aircraft utilizing the airport. For Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport "Category A" is used due to the predominant type of aircraft having an approach speed less than 91 knots and aircraft weighing less than 30,001 pounds. The mathematical formula for determining the limits of the OLZ are found in Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Advisory Circular 7400.2C.

(3)

No School Zone (NSZ). An NSZ for each runway covers an area that extends five statute miles from the end of a runway in a direct line along the centerline of the runway, and has a width measuring one-half the length of the longest runway at the airport.

(4)

Inner Safety Zone (ISZ). Also referred to as the Runway Protection Zone (RPZ). For Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport the ISZ is defined as an area which is centered about the extended runway centerline and begins 200 feet beyond the end of the area usable for take-off or landing. The ISZ dimension for Runway 13/31 begins at a width of 500 feet and extends 1,000 feet to a width of 700 feet. The ISZ dimension for Runway 9R/27L and Runway 9L/27R begin at a width of 1,000 feet and extends 2,500 feet to a width of 1,750 feet.

(5)

Outer Safety Zone (OSZ). The OSZ is described as an area that extends outward from the ISZ to a point 5,000 feet from a runway end. The OSZ dimension for Runway 13/31 begins at a width of 700 feet and extends 3,800 feet to a width of 1,460 feet. The OSZ dimensions for Runway 9R/27L and Runway 9L/27R begin at a width of 1,750 feet and extend 2,300 feet to a width of 2,440 feet.
