SECTION 1 Short Title This Ordinance shall be known and may
be cited as the "Sanford A~rport ZonLng Ordinance of Sanford, Florida."
SECTION 2 Definitions
(1) "Airport" means the Sanford Airport, Sanford, Florida.
(2) Airport Elevation - The highest point of an aLrportfs nsuable
landLug area measured in feet above mean sea level. The establ[shed airport
elevation of the Sanford Airport, Sanford, Florida, is 57f above mean sea
level (AIVISL),
-1-
(3) Airport Hazard - Any structure or object of natural growth
lccated on or in the vicinity of a public aftport. or any use of land near such
airport, which obstructs the airspace required for the flight of aircraft' in land-
.ing or takeoff at such airport ar Is otherwise hazardous to such landing or take-
off of aircraft.
(4) Airport PrLmary Surface - A surface longitudinally centered on
a runway. When the runway has a specially prepared bard surface° the primary
surface extends 200 feet beyond each end of that runway, The width of the
primary surface of a runway 'will be that width prescribed in Part 77 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) for the most precise approach existing or
planned for either end of that runway. The elevation of any points,on the
primary flufface is the same as the elevation of the nearest point on the runway
centerline.
(5~ Airport Zoning Chart - Refers to a chart or map of the area
affected by the airport zoning, which shows the layout of the runways, the air-
port boundaries and the airport elevation. The chart also sets forth the various
zones with the applinable height limitations for each. The chart identifies
topographic features such as major streams, rivers, railroads. roads and streets.
(6) Airspace Height - For the purpose of determining the height
timits in all zones set forth in this Ordinance and shown on the zoning map, the
datum shall be mean sea level elevation unless otherwise specL~led.
(7) Contral Zone - Airspace extending upward from the surface of
the earth which may include one or more airports' and is normally a circular
area of 5 statute miles in raditjs, with extensions where necessary to include
instrument approach and departure paths.
(8) Decision Height - The height at which a decis[on must be made
during an ILS Luetnnnent approach, to either cc~t[ane the approach or to execute
a missed approach.
(9) Instrument Runway - A runway having an existLug in~a-ument
approach procedure or planned in the Sanford Airpcc-t Master Plan, March 1974,
util~zin~ ai~ navigation facilities or area type navigat[cu equ[l:cnent, for which
an inst~xment approach procedure has been approved or planned.
(10) Minimtun Descent Altitude - The lowest altitude, expressed
in feet above mean Sea level, to which descent is authorized on final approach
or during circle-to-land maneuvering in executinu of a standard instn~nent
approach procedure° where no electronic glide slope is provided.
(11) Minimum Enroute Altitude - The altitude in effect between
radfo fLxes which assures acceptable navfgational s~gnal coverage and meets
obstruction clearance requirements between ~hose fixes.
(12) Minimum Obstruction Clearance Altitude - The specified
altitude in effect between radio fixed on VHF cmnidirectional radio range (VOR)
airways, off-airway routes, or route segments which meets obst~uctiou
clearance requirements for the'entire route segment and which assares
acceptable nav[gatt~nal signal coverage only withIn 22 miles of a VOR.
(13) Runway - A defined area on an airport prepared for landing and
takeoff of aircraft along its length.
(14) Visual Runway - A runway intended solely for the operation of
airci'aft using vlSual approach procedures with no straight-in instrument
approach procedure and no instrument designation indicated on an FAA approved
airp~E't layout plan, a military serv[cets approved military airport layour: plan,
or by any planriing document submitted t~ the FAA by ccanpetent authority.
SECTION 3 Airpo~ Zcnhig Maps
In order to outline definitely the horizontal and vex'tics/limits
beyond which the projection of any structure o~ tree will constitute an airport
hazard, the Airport Height Zoning Map, dated , d the
Sanford Airport, Sanford, Florida, attached hareto and ks hereby incorporated
into this OrdLnance and made a part hereof.
SECTION. 4 Airport Height Zones and Lhnttat[ons
(1) Hor[zontsl Surface - The land Iyb~g under a horizontal plane .

arcs of 10,000 feet rexit[ frown the center of each end of the primary surface of
each end of Runway 9L/27R and runway 18R/SSL and ccamecting and adjacent
arcs by lines tangent to those arcs.
No structure shall be permitted in the horizonts/zone that would
exceed 150 feet above the established ah'port elevation as depicted on the
Airport Height Zoning Map of Sanford, Florida.
(2) Conice/Zone - The land lying under a surface extending outward
and upward frcau the periphery of the hor[zonthl surface at a slope of 20 to i
for a horizontal dtstauce of 4,000 feet at Sanford Airport.
No structure shall be permitted in the conical zone that would
penetrate the conical surface as depicted ou the Airport Height Zoning Map of
Sanford, Florida.
(3) Approach Zones - The land lying under a surface longitudinally
centered on the extended runway centerline and ex'tend~ng outward and upward
froart each end of the primary Surface. An approach surface ts appI~ed to each
end of each runwsy based upon the type of approach avaLlabte or planned for
the runway end and ls depicted ca the Air, port I-Ie ight Zoning Map of Sanford,
Flor ~da.
(a) The inner edge of the approach surface is fhe same
width as the prhnary surface of each runway, 250 feet
wkle for runways 9R, 27L, 18R, 36L, 500 feet wide for
Runway 18L, 36Ro and 1,000 feet wide for Runway 9L and
