    (3)

    No School Zone (NSZ). New educational facilities, excluding aviation schools, are not permitted within this land use classification.

    (4)

    Except as otherwise provided in this article, it shall be unlawful to put any land or water located within L, T, and NA Districts and within TR Districts adjoining L and NA Districts and within the inner ten thousand (10,000) feet of IA Districts and the adjoining portions of TR Districts to any of the following prohibited uses:

    Prohibited uses:

    (1)

    Establishments or uses that emit smoke, gases, or dust in quantities or densities sufficient to jeopardize the safe use of the airport.

    (2)

    Notwithstanding any other provisions of this article, no use may be made of land or water within the airport zoning area in such a manner as to create electrical interference with radio communications between the airport and aircraft; make it difficult for aircraft pilots and tower control operators to distinguish between airport lights, aircraft and others; result in glare in the eyes of aircraft pilots using the airport, or tower control operators; impair visibility in the vicinity of the airport; or otherwise endanger the landing, taking off or maneuvering of aircraft.

    (3)

    Neither residential construction nor any educational facility as defined in Chapter 235, Florida Statutes, and the Code of Miami-Dade County, with the exception of aviation school facilities, shall be permitted within an area contiguous to the airport measuring one-half the length of the longest runway on either side of and at the end of each runway centerline.

    (4)

    Nothing contained herein shall be construed to require the removal, alteration, sound conditioning, or other change, or to interfere with the continued use or adjacent expansion of any educational structure or site in existence on July 1, 1993, or be construed to prohibit the construction of any new structure for which a site has been determined as provided in Section 235.19, Florida Statues, as of July 1, 1993.

    (5)

    Land fills and associated uses that emit smoke, gases, dust or attract birds shall not be permitted within 10,000 feet of any runway.
