Chandler City Code § 35-3000

in effect

35-3000. - Purpose and intent. The principal purpose of the Airport Impact Overlay District is to promote and protect the public health, safety and general welfare in the vicinity of the Chandler Municipal Airport and Stellar Airpark, by minimizing exposure to high noise levels and accident hazards generated by airport operations and to encourage future development which is compatible with the continued operation of the airports. In addition, it is the purpose of the Airport Impact Overlay District to minimize future conflicts between land uses and excessive noise generated by aircraft. The district shall be in addition to, and shall overlay, all other zoning districts where it is applied, so that any parcel of land lying in the Airport Impact Overlay District shall also lie in one (1) or more of the other zoning districts provided for by the Chandler Zoning Code. The effect is to create a new district which has the characteristics and limitations of the overlying district. In any situation where a conflict arises, the more strict regulation(s) shall apply. It is the intent of this overlay district to regulate land uses within designated existing or projected airport noise impact areas by specifying acoustical performance standards. Nothing herein shall be construed as altering building materials or construction methods from those which are specified in the Uniform Building Code. It is also the intent of this overlay district to prohibit uses in the landing approach areas (clear zones) that, if otherwise permitted, would endanger lives or invite destruction of property. (Ord. No. 3063, § 3, 11-18-99)
