B. Promote the public health, safety, order, convenience, prosperity and general welfare through the
prevention of obstructions and noncompatible land uses, to the extent legally possible, by proper
exercise of the police power, without compensation.
C. Achieve the mitigation of noncompatible uses and hazards to safe air navigation through
prevention, removal, or alteration, through the marking and lighting of obstructions, which are
public purposes forwhich the city of Iowa City and Johnson County may raise and expend public
funds, or through the acquisition of land or interests in land; to that end, the city council of Iowa

In order to carry out the provisions of this section there are hereby created and established certain
zones which are adopted and described herein, and which are depicted on the Iowa City airport
zoning maps, dated ""^F^ 5,2002January 15, 2019, and as thereafter amended by ordinance,
which map is adopted by this chapter and which map is on file in the office of the city clerk, Iowa
City, Iowa. Any structure or tree located in more than one zone is considered to be only in the zone
with the more restrictive height and use limitation. The various zones hereby established and defined
are as follows:
A. Approach Overlay Zone (AO) Defined: The airspace above a sloping plane extending outward
from each end of each runway, rising uniformly at a fixed ratio, and of fixed size, through which
aircraft commonly operate when arriving at, and departing from, the airport. AO zones vary in
size and slope based upon the present or future use that can be expected for each airport
runway.

2. Would endanger the general safety, health and welfare of persons in the vicinity of the
airport, or occupants of aircraft in flight.
3. Would result in the raising of the minimum instrument flight altitude of any federal airway,
approved off -airway route, or instrument approach procedure to the airport.
B. Except as otherwise provided herein, no change in the use or occupancy of land, or change of
use or occupancy in an existing building or in any zone created herein shall be made, nor shall

penetration of any zone created herein by any portion of any vehicle that shall be permitted to
operate upon such roadway.
F. Within five thousand feet (5,000') of the nearest point of the nearest airport runway, no person
shall establish or maintain any structure or use that would create a bird strike hazard.

5. Create, alter, or maintain any structure or use that would endanger or interfere with landing,
takeoff or maneuvering of any aircraft.

manner consistent with FAA regulations and advisories.
B. Any permit orvariance granted under the provisions of this chapter may be so conditioned so as
to require the owner of the land, structure, or tree in question to permit the city or county to
install, and/or operate and maintain such lighting and/or markings as the city or county deems
necessary to indicate to operators of aircraft the presence of an airport obstruction. (Ord. 02-

congested area of a city.
b. The proposed structure does not lie within any CA-RPZ-zeae.
c. There exists a structure or structures of a permanent and substantial nature at least as
tall and at least as wide as the proposed structure, and which lie(s) between the location
of the proposed construction or alteration, and a point on the runway centerline at the
threshold of the closest end of the closest runway of the airport.
d. The shielding structure is within five hundred feet (500') of the structure that is proposed
for construction or alteration.
e. It is evident beyond a reasonable doubt that the shielded structure will not adversely
affect aerial navigation.
2. The proposed structure is an antenna that is no greater than twenty feet (20') in height, and
does not increase the height of an existing antenna structure.
3. The proposed structure is an airport, aerial navigation, or meteorological device, of a type
approved by the FAA, the location and height of which is fixed by function.
B. ANe notice of proposed construction or alteration is not required for structures more than
the PFePeS8d StFUGf -F^ •'^^^ ^^f I0^ Vi twenty thousand feet (20,000') of the nearest point of
the nearest runway. A notice of Alteration is not required for a structure that does not penetrate
an imaginary surface, beginning at the nearest point of the nearest runway and at the elevation
of the runway threshold. rising ,

higher, or be replanted, so as to constitute a greater airport hazard than it was at the time that
these regulations were adopted.
D. Whenever the building official or zoning administrator determines that a nonconforming structure
has been abandoned, tom down, physically deteriorated, damaged, or decayed, to such an
extent that its value is no greater than fifty percent (50%) of the average value of the structure
and the land over the preceding ten (10) years, no building permit or occupancy permit shall be
