The Airport Park designated herein by the symbol "AP", is intended to protect the established, private Adelanto Airport and property in the immediate vicinity and to provide for appropriate development of aviation uses and such related uses. Uses in this zoning district are intended primarily for low density single-family residential dwellings and accessory uses, personal aircraft storage areas, mixed-use (residential and airport related commercial), some limited aviation and aircraft related light industry/manufacturing development, and limited commercial uses related to the airport.
