Council adopts municipal airport zoning ordinance to protect runway and funding
Summary
The council adopted an airport-specific zoning ordinance, including runway protection zones, to prevent development that could jeopardize funding or aviation operations.
Mayor Davies opened a public hearing on the City of Caddo Mills municipal airport zoning ordinance and Building Official Josh Kinnick told the council the city planned to build hangars and needed airport-specific zoning, including runway protection zones, to protect the airport and funding. With no public testimony, the council adopted the airport zoning ordinance by unanimous vote.
Kinnick said the zoning would prevent non-aviation uses from locating on airport property and reduce the risk that a nonconforming development could imperil airport funding. The council's action formalizes airport-protection zoning recommended in the packet materials and moves the city toward constructing hangars and other aviation facilities.
