Walton City Zoning Code

The purpose of this article is to provide a specific zoning classification for aviation, industrial, service and commercial uses related to or compatible with Airport operations. In addition, it is the intent of the Airport zone to ensure compatibility between airport facilities and operations and the surrounding land uses. It is furthermore the intent of this Article that the Airport notify the Commission of any proposed development or construction within this zoning district in order to determine the type of review and its associated impact.

Table 5-6, in Section 505.5, identifies the principally permitted and accessory uses within the A district.

Table 5-6, in Section 505.5, identifies those uses which are conditionally permitted within the A district,  subject to the approval and qualifications of the Board of Adjustment provided: a) the activity is an integral and subordinate function of an Airport district or zone but not directly related to an Airport; b) the proposed activity will further add to, not detract from, the creation of a multi-purpose transportation modal system, and c) the arrangement of uses, buildings or structures will be mutually compatible with the organization of permitted and accessory uses to be protected in the district.

There are no maximum building intensities for Airport related uses. Any industrial, commercial, recreational and office uses not related to the Airport have a maximum building intensity and other dimensional standards based upon the corresponding I-1, C-2 and R zoning district requirements.

The minimum size of an Airport district is fifty (50) acres.

See ARTICLE 31 for Performance Standards.  Site Plan review required for all non-Airport related uses (See ARTICLE 30.)

Airports are also under the jurisdiction of the Kentucky Airport Zoning Commission as authorized in Chapter 183 of the Kentucky Revised Statues as it pertains to the safe and proper use of an airport.
