3-39-19. Preparation of airport approach plans.
The legislative body is hereby empowered to formulate and adopt, and from time to time as may be necessary, revise an airport approach plan for any publicly owned airport within its corporate or political limits. Each such plan shall indicate the hazards, the area within which measures for the protection of the airport's aerial approaches should be taken, and what the height limits and other objectives of such measure should be. In adopting or revising any such plan, the legislative body shall consider, among other things, the character of the flying operations expected to be conducted at the airport, the nature of the terrain, the height of existing structures and trees above the level of the airport, and the possibility of lowering or removing existing obstructions, and the legislative body may obtain and consider the views of the agency of the federal government charged with the fostering of civil aeronautics as to the aerial approaches necessary to safe flying operations at the airport.
