Chapter 18.50

No structure or tree shall be erected, altered, allowed to grow or be maintained in any airport approach zone, transition zone, horizontal and conical surfaces, to a height in excess of the height limit specified for such zone as delineated upon the airport zoning map.

Any permit or variance granted under Sections 18.50.080 and 18.50.090 may, if such action is advisable to effectuate the purpose of this chapter and reasonable in the circumstances, be so conditioned as to require the owner of the structure or tree in question to permit the city at its own expense, to install, operate and maintain thereon such markers and lights as may be necessary to indicate to flyers the presence of an airport hazard.

For all developments proposed to be located in Safety Area 2, as defined in the airport land use plan, Rialto Municipal Airport Master Plan, the owner shall grant an avigation and noise easement to the city prior to the issuance of a building permit(s) for each particular piece of property.

In the event of conflict between this chapter and any other regulations applicable to the same area or parcel of land, whether the conflict be with respect to the height of structure or trees, the use of land or any other matter, and whether such other regulations were adopted by the city or by some other public agency, the more stringent limitations or requirements govern and prevail.

Before any nonconforming structure or tree may be replaced, substantially altered or repaired, rebuilt, allowed to grow higher or replanted, a permit shall be secured from the planning commission authorizing such replacement, change or repair.

No use may be made of land within any airport approach zones, airport transition zones, horizontal and conical surfaces, in such a manner as to create harmful electrical interference with radio communication between the airport and aircraft, make it difficult for flyers to distinguish between airport lights and other lights, result in harmful glare in the eyes of the flyers using the airport, impair visibility in the vicinity of the airport or otherwise endanger the landing, take-off or maneuvering of aircraft.
