Parma considers tighter airport rules and new five‑member airport committee
Summary
Council discussed amending the airport ordinance to create a five‑member Airport Committee, require hangars on leased lots, prohibit living quarters and RVs as office space, and review a $0.14 per square foot lease fee; a separate airport meeting will be scheduled.
Parma councilors reviewed proposed changes to airport governance and lease rules during the July 13 special meeting, including a plan to amend the ordinance to establish a five‑member Airport Committee and to tighten hangar and use requirements for leased lots.
Discussion covered committee composition (three community members with at least one city resident, one council member and the public works director), the current lease fee rate of $0.14 per square foot, and enforcement of hangar construction timelines—the minutes note the current 24‑month allowance to build is often unmet. Council members and staff suggested prohibiting living quarters in hangars and disallowing RVs as office space; visitor parking passes and restrictions on sales of empty lease lots were also raised. The city will hold a future airport meeting to continue the item.
