500.07: REGULATIONS FOR AIRSPACE PROTECTION:

A. Height Limitations: The criteria for determining the acceptability of a project with respect to height shall be based upon the standards set forth in federal aviation regulations (FAR) part 77, subpart C, objects affecting navigable airspace. Additionally, where an FAA aeronautical study of a proposed object is required in accordance with FAR part 77, subpart C, the results of that study shall be taken into account by the city.

1. Maximum Height:

a. Except as provided below, no object, including a mobile or temporary object such as construction crane, shall have a height that would result in penetration of any obstruction surface depicted for Porterville Municipal Airport in section 500.10, map 500-4, "Airport Impact Map: Airspace Protection", of this article.

• b. Within the primary surface and beneath the approach or transitional surfaces, objects shall be limited in height consistent with the airspace protection surfaces defined by FAR part 77.

2. Exception: Outside the primary surface and the approach or transitional surfaces, no object shall be limited to a height of less than thirty five feet (35') above the ground even if the object would penetrate an FAR part 77 surface and thus constitute an obstruction.

B. FAA Notification: Any person proposing construction or alteration within the AE overlay district shall submit notification of the proposal to the FAA if such construction or alteration exceeds any of the following height standards: 1. Two hundred feet (200') above ground level.

2. The plane of an imaginary surface extending outward and upward at a slope of one hundred to one (100:1) for a distance of twenty thousand feet (20,000') from the nearest point of any runway. (Ord. 1801, 12-3-2013)
