Lincoln Municipal Code Art. II Height Limitations

Except as otherwise provided in this division, no structure or tree shall be erected, altered, allowed to grow or be maintained in any zone created by this division to a height in excess of the applicable height limit established in this article for such zone. Such applicable height limitations are established for each of the zones in question. Where an area is covered by more than one height limitation, the more restrictive limitation shall prevail.

(Ord. 386B §1(part), 1981: Ord. 357B §9.02.010(part), 1979)

The utility runway visual approach zone slopes upward 20 feet horizontally for each foot vertically, beginning at the end of and at the same elevation as the primary surface and extending to a horizontal distance of 5,000 feet along the extended runway centerline.

(Ord. 386B §1(part), 1981: Ord. 357B §9.02.010(a), 1979)

The utility runway nonprecision instrument approach zone slopes upward 20 feet horizontally for each foot vertically beginning at the end of and at the same elevation as the primary surface and extending to a horizontal distance of 5,000 feet along the extended runway centerline.

(Ord. 386B §1(part), 1981: Ord. 357B §9.02.010(b), 1979)

The runway-larger-than-utility visual approach zone slopes upward 20 feet horizontally for each foot vertically beginning at the end of and at the same elevation as the primary surface and extending to a horizontal distance of 5,000 feet along the extended runway centerline.

(Ord. 386B §1(part), 1981: Ord. 357B §9.02.010(c), 1979)

The runway-larger-than-utility with a visibility greater than three-fourths of a mile nonprecision instrument approach zone slopes upward 34 feet horizontally for each foot vertically beginning at the end of and at the same elevation as the primary surface and extending to a horizontal distance of 10,000 feet along the extended runway centerline.

(Ord. 386B §1(part), 1981: Ord. 357B §9.02.010(d), 1979)

The runway-larger-than-utility with a visibility minimum as low as three-fourths of a mile nonprecision instrument approach zone slopes upward 34 feet horizontally for each foot vertically beginning at the end of and at the same elevation as the primary surface and extending to a horizontal distance of 10,000 feet along the extended runway centerline.

(Ord. 386B §1(part), 1981: Ord. 357B §9.02.010(e), 1979)

The precision instrument runway approach zone slopes upward 50 feet horizontally for each foot vertically beginning at the end of and at the same elevation as the primary surface and extending to a horizontal distance of 10,000 feet along the extended runway centerline, then slopes upward 40 feet horizontally for each foot vertically to an additional horizontal distance of 40,000 feet along the extended runway centerline.

(Ord. 386B §1(part), 1981: Ord. 357B §9.02.010(f), 1979)

The transitional zones slope upward and outward seven feet horizontally for each foot vertically beginning at the sides of and at the same elevation as the primary surface and the approach zones, and extend to a height of 150 feet above the airport elevation, which is 117 feet above mean sea level. In addition to the foregoing, there are established height limits sloping upward and outward seven feet horizontally for each foot vertically beginning at the sides of and at the same elevation as the approach zones, and extending to where they intersect the conical surface. Where the precision instrument runway approach zone projects beyond the conical zone, height limits sloping upward and outward seven feet horizontally for each foot vertically shall be maintained beginning at the sides of and at the same elevation as the precision instrument runway approach surface, and extending to a horizontal distance of 5,000 feet measured at 90-degree angles to the extended runway centerline.

(Ord. 386B §1(part), 1981: Ord. 357B §9.02.010(g), 1979)

The horizontal zone extends 150 feet above the airport elevation or a height of 267 feet above mean sea level.

(Ord. 386B §1(part), 1981: Ord. 357B §9.02.010(h), 1979)

The conical zone slopes upward and outward 20 feet horizontally for each foot vertically beginning at the periphery of the horizontal zone and at 150 feet above the airport elevation and extending to a height of 350 feet above the airport elevation.

(Ord. 386B §1(part), 1981: Ord. 357B §9.02.010(i), 1979)

Nothing in this division shall be construed as prohibiting the growth, construction or maintenance of any tree or structure to a height up to 30 feet above the surface of the land.
