The prevention of hazards to air navigation caused by smoke, glare, <br />electrical interference, bright or concentrated beams of light, and concentrations <br />of birds. <br /> <br />3. Ground Safety. The exposure of persons on the ground to accidents, especially <br />where land uses are characterized by concentrations of persons. <br /> <br />4. Noise. The exposure of persons on the ground to noise from aircraft operations, <br />especially jet aircraft. <br /> <br />B. Inner Portion. Within the inner portion of the airport safety zone, extending to fourteen <br />hundred (1,400) feet from the end of the runway, the following uses and structures <br />are not permitted: <br /> <br />1. Permanent structures or objects projecting above the level (elevation) of the pri- <br />mary surface of the runway. <br /> <br />2. Any land use that on a regular basis would result in a concentration of persons <br />exceeding twenty-five (25) persons per net acre. <br /> <br />3. Compatible land uses in this portion of the safety zone include limited horticulture <br />provided that no nursery equipment or materials shall be stored and no struc- <br />tures erected, open space for natural resources (wetlands), open space for the <br />managed production of resources (water areas necessary to commercial fisher- <br />ies), and open space for public health and safety (uses related to flood control <br />such as retention ponds, drainage easements, or flood plains). <br /> <br />C. Outer Portion. Within the outer portion of the airport safety zone, extending beyond <br />fourteen hundred (1,400) feet to five thousand three hundred (5,300) feet, new uses <br />shall be nonresidential low-density. <br /> <br />1. Uses which will have a density of more than twenty-five (25) persons per net acre <br />over an eight (8) hour period or a density of more than fifty (50) persons per net <br />acre for more than two (2) hours per day are considered incompatible and shall <br />not be allowed.
