Council adopts airport-overlay zone ordinance to align with state guidance
Summary
Quincy council approved Ordinance 26-6-53 to add an airport overlay zone to the municipal code, implementing state RCW 36.71.547 to identify and limit incompatible uses near the general aviation airport. The ordinance passed on a voice vote.
Quincy’s city council voted to adopt Ordinance 26-6-53, creating an "airport overlay zone" in the Quincy Municipal Code to implement state guidance on general aviation airports.
The municipal service director introduced the ordinance, saying it updates local code to reflect RCW 36.71.547 and to cite incompatible uses that can conflict with airport operations. "This is a request to council to approve ordinance 26-6-53, implementing the requirements of RCW 36.71.547," the presenter said during the agenda item.
A council member moved to approve and adopt the ordinance and the motion was seconded. The council took a voice vote; members responded "aye" and the motion carried.
Why it matters: the overlay zone is designed to provide a local regulatory framework to identify land uses that could interfere with aviation safety or airport operations, and to ensure the municipal code aligns with the cited state statute.
What’s next: the ordinance was adopted on the council floor; no additional amendments were recorded during the meeting and the council concluded the item after the vote.
