Other
The regulations prescribed in Sections 18.132.050 through 18.132.100 shall not be construed to require the removal, lowering, or other change or alteration of any structure or tree not conforming to the regulations as of October 25, 1967.
- Permit required for nonconformingNonconformingLawful when built, but not compliant with the rules now in force; usually allowed to continue but not to expand. structures/trees
Before any nonconforming structure or tree may be replaced, substantially altered or repaired, rebuilt, allowed to grow higher, or replanted, a permit must be secured from the planning commission.
- Conflicting regulations
Where this chapter imposes a greater or more stringent restriction upon the use of land than is imposed or required by any other ordinance or regulation, the provisions of this chapter shall govern.
No use may be made of land within any airport approach zone, airport turning zone (horizontal zone or conical zone), or airport transition zone, in such a manner as to create electrical interference with radio communication between the airport and aircraft, making it difficult for pilots to distinguish between airport lights and other lights, resulting in glare in the eyes of the pilots using the airport, impairing visibility in the vicinity of an airport, or otherwise endangering the landing, takeoff or maneuvering of aircraft.
Such variances shall be allowed where a literal application or enforcement of the regulations would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship and the relief granted would not be contrary to the public interest but do substantial justice and be in accordance with the spirit of the regulations and this chapter.
From the ordinance
All of the land within the boundaries of the airports defined in this chapter and within two miles of the landing area of each of these airports, is divided into horizontal zones, conical zones, transition zones and runway approach zones.
