2006 FAA Letter

Admonished the City of Houston for allowing incompatible development to encroach into areas affected by airport operations

Asked the City to adopt measures that ensure compatible land development and would protect the FAA’s investment of grant funds in the three airports

FEDERAL ASSISTANCE FOR FUTURE AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT AND BUY-OUTS MAY BE LIMITED WITHOUT CONTROLS AND MAY EVEN REQUIRE CITY TO REPAY PAST GRANT FUNDING

PURPOSE OF THE AIRPORT LAND USE COMPATIBILITY ORDINANCE

REGULATING THE LAND AND THE AIR REGULATING THE LAND AND THE AIR

Two Types of Regulation Around Airports

Land Use

Height Hazard.

Since a Height Hazard Ordinance exists, Land Use was

given priority.


Tier 1 – Primarily based on future noise contours, including 65 DNL extended to property line boundaries

Tier 2 – Followed natural boundaries (i.e. streets, bayous, etc.)

Tier 3 – Predefined by state law (3 x 5 mile box)

DESIGNATION OF TEIRS DESIGNATION OF TEIRS

The Houston Airport System has staff members working in conjunction with both the Planning and Development Department & the to review all incoming plats and replats for compliance with the regulations

These same staff members also works with Public Works and Engineering’s Code Enforcement Division and has integrated this function into the building permit plan review and inspection process

IMPLEMENTATIONIMPLEMENTATION


Statutory Governing Authority:

Chapter 241 of the Texas Local Government Code

Cities with public airports can adopt compatible land use and height regulations around the airport (s)

The regulated area is 3 miles by 5 miles long 1.5 miles on each side of the center line of each runway

5 miles from the ends of the runways

AIRPORT HAZARD AREA REGULATIONS AIRPORT HAZARD AREA REGULATIONS

AIRPORT HAZARD AREA ORDINANCE


City Ordinances For Height Already Existed – Except For Ellington

Intercontinental - Height Ordinance In Effect Since 1983

Hobby - Height Ordinance First Passed in 1957 – Last Amended in 1986

Ellington - No Height Ordinance Existed Before or After Transfer of Air Force Base to City of Houston in 1984




Proposed Action

Modernize Existing Ordinances For Intercontinental & Hobby

Follow Both FAA Rules AND Federal Requirements for Aircraft Operators

Create Regulations for Ellington

Protect Airspace for FAA Approved Master Planned Runways for All Three Airports

Work Closely with Stakeholders to Develop a Regulation that Does Not Over-Regulate




Airspace Surfaces – Three Kinds

Protect aircraft approaches and departures and aircraft movement areas from the ground up (Part 77.25 Imaginary Surfaces)

Protect aircraft operating during low visibility conditions using their onboard instruments as pilots monitor signals emanating from equipment, or NAVAIDS, located in the air (onboard the aircraft or satellites) or on the ground (Part 77.23 Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS))

Flight paths for emergency procedures (One Engine Inoperative (One Engine Out))




Structure of Ordinance

Hazard Area Regulations Would be Part of Same City Ordinance Article as Land Use Regulations—Code of Ordinances of the City of Houston, Chapter 9 for Ease of Locating Regulations Pertinent to Airports

Regulations Would Govern Only the Height of New Construction or Modifications of Existing Structures Whose Proposed Structural Heights Would Penetrate the Airspace Surfaces

Maps will identify permissible heights as part of the regulations.




Maximum Building Height Includes All Rooftop Appurtenances, Obstruction Lights, Lightning Arresting Devices, etc. as Shown Below. All Elevations Are Above Mean Sea Level
