There is hereby created an airport overlay district as identified in the maps made a part hereof and labeled Tri-Cities Airport Future Part 77 Zones map and the Airport Safety Compatibility Zones map, as established by the current Tri-Cities Airport Master Plan. All lands lying within the zones therein shown within the City limits of Pasco are subjected to the building and use restrictions within this chapter. This chapter shall be used in addition to and in combination with all other district and development regulations contained in this title. The Airport Authority shall be responsible for providing updated maps to the City coincident with 10-year updates to the Airport Master Plan. The airport overlay district classification identifies a series of imaginary surfaces and safety zones within the airport influence area that has historically been prone to hazards associated with aircraft and airports. This chapter is based on aircraft accident data from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 77 Imaginary Surfaces and the “Airports and Compatibility Land Use Guidebook” produced by the Washington State Department of Transportation Aviation Division. As the name implies, this classification is laid over the existing City of Pasco zoning districts to ensure that densities and land use requirements of the underlying zoning districts are consistent with the NTSB standards and provide for maximum protection to the public, health, safety and general welfare of the community and for those citizens working and residing within the airport influence area.
