10:20Commissioner Oak Denise Hernandez Planning and Development Department. First I would start I would like to ask that you move and receive and file. This is the final report of the Pasco County Airport Zoning Commission.

10:33No emotion? Leuk is het aan. Second. Okay, welcome.

10:38Uh District One, Commissioner Oakley. Aye. District two, Commissioner Weightman. Aye. District three, Commissioner Starkey. Aye. District four, Commissioner Bradford. Our District Five Chairman Mariano. Five.

10:51Okay, Commissioner, today is the first reading on this item, so um we just ask that you take public comment. And there's no action required today because this is the first reading on the item and the adoption hearing is set for August 8, 2023 at 1.30 in Dade City. So it's uh PDD 230432, an ordinance by the Pasco County Board of County Commissioners, establishing section 605 airport overlaid districts of the Pasco County Land Development Code, amending appendix A definitions and other sections as necessary for a total consistency, providing

11:22for repealer, applicability repealer, providing for severability inclusion into land development code and an effective date. The reason why we're here is that Chapter 333 Florida statutes requires that local governments administer, adopt, and enforce airport zoning regulations. And the Pasco County Comprehensive Plan, both Chapter 2 and Chapter 7, require that you have airport protection and overlays. So the Airport Zoning Commission was established in 2017 and it was modified in 2021.

11:53There were interlocal agreements between with the city of Zephyrhills and Hernando County done in 2018. There was a comprehensive plan update in 2022. There was a moratorium on development around airports in 2022, which is set to expire in August. There were noise contour studies that were adopted by the Board of County Commissioners through resolution for the Tampa North Aero Park. the uh Hidden Lake Airport and the Pilot Country Airport. During this time, we collaborated and coordinated

12:24with various interested parties, including Elan News attorneys, planners, engineers, and the aircraft owners and pilots association. There were airport zoning commission workshops held, and there were public hearings before the Airport Zoning Commission, and those were held on May 3rd, 23, and May 15th of 23. The proposed amendments were presented to the horizontal round. Table in the interested parties meeting on June 21, 2023. There will be internal trainings on how to deploy this ordinance with the

12:54Planning and Development Department and the Board and the Building Construction Services. The ordinance will be administered by the Planning and Development Department, and the appeals will be to the Planning Commission. This was presented to the local planning agency. on uh June twentieth, uh twenty twenty-two. or June 22nd rather 2022, 2023, and uh they found it consistent with the comprehensive plan and recommended approval to the Board of County Commissioners. So the Section 605

13:24establishes overlay districts, uh which include the airport influence area, which o goes out two miles from the center of the runway. In that area we're gonna be looking at height. It establishes an airport zone which is thirty um half a mile, sorry. From the center of the runway, the approach surface floor, which is the area coming into the up into the approach, and that's approximately 5,000 feet for visual runways, which most of these airports are visual runways, and also the runway protection zone. And all these areas

13:55will be mapped in GIS Pasco Mapper.

14:01For all the airports.

14:05And this is just to show you the noise contour maps that were uh that was adopted by resolution of the board in twenty twenty two. So again, we ask that you take public comment. There's no action required. This is the first of two public hearings on the item and the adoption is for August 8th, 2023.
