The purpose of establishing the airport overlay zone (AOZ) is to establish regulations for any development near the airport that may be constructed in the county, and to see that said development is constructed in locations and at heights that will harmonize with the surrounding area with respect to topography siting, noise and hazards. The airport overlay zone (AOZ) is to ensure safety in the operation of the airport. 

For the purpose of this chapter, any surface defined under 14 C.F.R 77 (Code of Federal Regulations), and those shown on the official Wasatch County Zoning Map shall be considered the Airport Overlay Zone.

1. All purpose development within the Airport Overlay Zone shall conform with 14 C.F.R. Part 77.
2. No building, utility line, or structure shall be erected and no tree or other natural feature shall be permitted to grow or develop which is higher than the limitations established under 14 C.F>R. 77.
   
   1. At least part of the land covered by the airport approach zone within one thousand feet (1,000') from end of runway must be owned by the same person or corporation which owns or controls the operation of the airport, or else an easement covering the land must be owned by the same person or corporation which will prevent the construction of buildings and structures or the growing of trees or other natural feature over the above prescribed height limits.
3. Use Restrictions: Notwithstanding any other provision of this title, no uses may be made of land within the county which will create electrical interference with radio communication between airports and aircraft; make it difficult for flyers to distinguish between airport lights and others; result in glare in the eyes of flyers using the airport; impair visibility in the vicinity of airports or otherwise endanger the landing or taking off of aircraft.
4. Airport Overlay Uses: Other than single-family residential housing, any other permitted or conditional uses in the underlying zone, but within the airport overlay zone (AOZ) shall be considered conditional uses. Uses not listed as permitted or conditional uses in the underlying zone shall be prohibited.
5. Any subdivision plats recorded that include property, within the airport overlay zone shall include a notice indicating that the subdivision is within the airport overlay zone and alert future buyers to the associated impacts of the airport.
6. The county may, as a condition of granting a building permit, subdivision plat, or a requested zone change within 5,000 feet of a legally established airport runway, require the person building or developing land to grant or sell to the airport owner, at appraised fair market value, an avigation easement.
