The purpose is to protect the airport operations and public investment. The resolution on today's City Council agenda authorizes staff to proceed with the amendment. A map of the proposed district is attached. Airport Overlay The overlay will help identify and reduce nuisances caused by any use, activity or structure that may be a hazard to the taking off, landing, and maneuvering of aircraft. It will allow for additional review of the proposed installation of towers or other communications equipment that could interfere with visual radar, radio, or other systems for tracking, monitoring or controlling aircraft. The Airport Overlay boundary is based on the 65 DNL (24-hour noise level) boundary for NASJRB. The City of Fort Worth would only enforce the overlay within the city limits of Fort Worth. The proposed items to be addressed in the Airport Overlay include communications and electrical interference, lighting, glare, emissions, wildlife attractants, and waste disposal facilities. These are all items typically included within airport overlay ordinances. The Airport Overlay will not control land uses other than the specific uses identified as nuisances. The City Council established Compatible Use Zones (CUZs) to regulate uses at the ends of the runways in September 2013. Outside of the CUZs, the underlying zoning will continue to regulate the appropriate uses in an area. Review Process Discussions concerning the development of the overlay have occurred over the past couple of years as meetings were held concerning the CUZ areas and the overlays placed on the other airports. Staff discussed the amendment with NASJRB personnel and briefed the NASJRB Regional Coordination Committee. The proposed regulations are supported by the Texas Department of Transportation and were reviewed by staff from the City's Aviation and Planning & Development Departments. Staff has previously provided briefings to the Development Advisory Committee, Real Estate Council of Greater Fort Worth, Greater Fort Worth Association of Realtors, Greater Fort Worth Builders Association, the Aviation Advisory Board and the Zoning Commission. No concerns have been expressed to date. Below is the proposed schedule of public hearings.
