§ 7-15. Airspace surfaces.  


Latest version.
  • There are hereby created and established certain airspace imaginary surfaces in order to evaluate whether any existing or proposed structure or object of natural growth complies with federal obstruction standards as contained in 14 CFR §§ 77.13, 77.15, 77.17, 77.19, 77.21 and 77.23 terminal instrument procedures as contained in FAA Order 8260.3C and Order 8260.58A, entitled United States Standards for Terminal Instrument Procedures and federal regulations for turbine powered aircraft as contained in 14 CFR § 121.189. The airspace surfaces are hereby specified for the most restrictive approach existing or planned for each runway and any planned extension of existing runways and include all of the land lying beneath the airspace surface, as applied to each airport. Except as otherwise provided in these regulations, no application for an airport height zoning permit may be approved; no structure may be developed, constructed, established, enlarged, substantially altered or repaired, approved for construction, or issued a natural resources permit or building permit; and no object of natural growth may be planted, allowed to grow or be replanted, in any airspace surface at a height above the height limit established herein for the airspace surface in which the structure or object of natural growth is located or proposed to be located. Such height limits will be computed from mean sea level elevation, unless otherwise specified. The 14 CFR Part 77C (primary, horizontal, conical approach and transitional) airspace surfaces have been analyzed by the Authority and are illustrated on the map incorporated herein as Exhibit "A" and further defined as illustrated in FAA Order 7400.2k, entitled procedures for handling airspace matters.
