A.

Applicability. In order to carry out the provisions of this Section, there are hereby created certain zones which includes all of the Land lying beneath the approach, transitional, horizontal and conical surfaces as they apply to a particular Airport. Such zones are shown on the Leesburg, Umatilla and Mid-Florida Zoning Maps which are attached to Ordinance No. 1977-13 and made a part hereof. (Zoning Map A, Leesburg Airport; Zoning Map B, Umatilla; Zoning Map C, Mid-Florida).

B.

1.

Primary Surface. An area longitudinally centered on a Runway, extending two hundred (200) feet beyond each end of that Runway with the width so specified for each Runway for the most precise approach existing or planned for either end of the Runway. No Structure or obstruction will be Permitted within the primary zone, that is not part of the Landing and takeoff area, and is of a greater height than the nearest point on the Runway centerline. The width of the primary zone is as follows:

a.

c.

Mid-Florida Airport: Runways 18 and 36, two hundred fifty (250) feet for Utility Runways having only visual approaches.

1.

Airports without a paved and/or hard surface, the primary surface ends at each end of that Runway.

2.

The width of the primary zone of a Runway will be that width prescribed in this Section for the most precise approach existing or planned for either end of that Runway. No structure or obstruction will be permitted within the primary zone, that is not part of the landing and takeoff facilities and is of a greater height than the nearest point on the Runway centerline.

2.

Horizontal Surface. The area around each civil Airport with an outer boundary the perimeter of which is construed by swinging arcs of specified radii from the center of each end of the primary zone of each Airport's Runway and connecting the adjacent arcs by lines tangent to those arcs. The radius of each arc is:
