AN ORDINANCE REGULATING AND RESTRICTING THE HEIGHT OF STRUCTURES AND
OBJECTS OF NATURAL GROWTH, AND OTHERWISE RESTRICTING THE USE OF PROP-
ERTY ON AND IN THE VICINITY OF THE DALLAS-FORT WORTH REGIONAL AIRPORT:
BY ESTABLISHING AIRPORT APPROACH ZONES, TRANSITION ZONES, HORIZONTAL

This ordinance is adopted pursuant to the authority conferred by the Airport Zoning Act,
Article 46e, V.A.C. S., as amended by all subsequent legislation. It is hereby found that
an airport hazard endangers the lives and property of users of the Dallas-Fort Worth Regional
N Airport and occupants of land in its vicinity, and also, if of the obstruction type, in effect
reduces the size of the area available for the landing, taking-off and maneuvering of air-
craft, thus tending to destroy or impair the utility of the Dallas-Fort Worth Regional Airport
and the public investment therein. Accordingly, it is declared: (1) that the creation or
establishment of an airport hazard is a public nuisance and an injury to the region served by
the Dallas-Fort Worth Regional Airport; (2) that it is necessary in the interest of the public
health, public safety and general welfare that the creation or establishment of airport haz-
ards be prevented; and, (3) that the prevention of these hazards should be accomplished, to
the extent legally possible, by the exercise of the police power without compensation. It
is further declared that both the prevention of the creation or establishment of airport hazards
and the elimination, removal, alteration, mitigation, or marking and lighting of existing
airport hazards are public purposes for which political subdivisions may raise and expend
public funds and acquire land or interest in land.

ate interference with radio communication between the Airport and Aircraft; or that will

aircraft arresting device, or meteorological device; or that will result in glare in the eyes

through the facilities of the airport. No other airport or landing field shall be constructed
within the airport hazard area.
SECTION VII: EXISTING NON-CONFORMITIES
Structures, trees or installations existing prior to the effective date of these regulations
which do not conform to the requirements hereof shall be considered as legal non-conforming

Before any new structure or use which could be defined as an airport hazard under this
ordinance may be constructed or established and before any such existing use or structure
may be increased in height or otherwise altered, a permit to do so must be secured by the
owner involved or his agent. All permit applications shall be made to the administrative
agency having jurisdiction, or their designated representatives under Section XII hereof.
In the event that any administrative agency issues a permit erroneously allowing the begin-
ning of erection of any structure or tree, said permit shall not constitute a variance or be
construed in any manner to allow any person to penetrate the imaginary surfaces established. I
It will remain incumbent on the sponsor, builder, property owner or their agents, as the case
may be, to prevent the creation of any object that will cause an airport hazard within the
meaning of this ordinance. When said permits are requested for construction and/or alter-
ation within the city limits of a municipality the administrative agency having jurisdiction
shall be the municipality itself and the county administrative agency shall have no juris-
diction within the city limits of municipalities.
SECTION IV: NOTICE TO FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION
Nothing in these regulations shall be construed as relieving any owner, sponsor, or agent i
from the requirement for filing a notice of proposed construction or alteration with the ap-
propriate Federal Aviation Administration Authority.
SECTION X: VARIANCES
Any person desiring to erect any structure or increase the height of any structure, or permit I
the growth of any tree, or otherwise use his property in violation of these regulations may
apply to the Board of Adjustment for a variance from the zoning regulations in question.
Such variances shall be allowed where a literal application or enforcement of the regula-
tions would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship and the relief granted would
not be contrary to the public interest but do substantial justice and be in accordance with
the spirit of these regulations; provided that any variances allowed shall be subject to any
reasonable conditions that the Board of Adjustment may deem necessary to effectuate the
® purposes of these regulations.
4
SECTION XI: HAZARD MARKING AND LIGHTING
Any permit granted under these regulations may, if such action is deemed advisable to

lights, as the Board may find necessary to indicate the presence of the Airport Hazard.
