SECTION 50485-50485.14



50485.  This article shall be known and may be cited as the "Airport
Approaches Zoning Law."



50485.1.  As used in this article, unless the context otherwise
requires:
   "Airport" means any area of land or water designed and set aside
for the landing and taking off of aircraft and utilized or to be
utilized in the interest of the public for such purposes.
   "Airport hazard" means any structure or tree or use of land which
obstructs the airspace required for the flight of aircraft in landing
or taking off at an airport or is otherwise hazardous to such
landing or taking off of aircraft.
   "Airport hazard area" means any area of land or water upon which
an airport hazard might be established if not prevented as provided
in this article.
   "City or county" means any city, county, or city and county.
   "Person" means any individual, firm, copartnership, corporation,
company, association, joint stock association, city or county, or
district, and includes any trustee, receiver, or assignee.
   "Structure" means any object constructed or installed by man,
including, but without limitation, buildings, towers, smokestacks,
and overhead lines.
   "Tree" means any object of natural growth.



50485.2.  It is hereby found that an airport hazard endangers the
lives and property of users of the airport and of occupants of land
in its vicinity and also, if of the obstruction type, in effect
reduces the size of the area available for the landing, taking off
and maneuvering of the aircraft, thus tending to destroy or impair
the utility of the airport and the public investment therein.
Accordingly, it is hereby declared: (a) that the creation or
establishment of an airport hazard is a public nuisance and an injury
to the community served by the airport in question; and (b) that it
is therefore necessary in the interest of the public health, public
safety, and general welfare that the creation or establishment of
airport hazards be prevented by appropriate exercise of the police
power or the authority conferred by Article 2.6 (commencing with
Section 21652) of Part 1 of Division 9 of the Public Utilities Code.
It is further declared that both the prevention of the creation or
establishment of airport hazards and the elimination, removal,
alteration, mitigation, or marking and lighting of existing airport
hazards are public purposes for which a city or county may raise and
expend public funds and acquire land or property interests therein.



50485.3.  In order to prevent the creation or establishment of
airport hazards, every city or county having an airport hazard area
within its territorial limits may adopt, administer, and enforce,
under the police power and in the manner and upon the conditions
hereinafter prescribed, airport zoning regulations for such airport
hazard area, which regulations may divide such area into zones, and,
within such zones, specify the land uses permitted and regulate and
restrict the height to which structures and trees may be erected or
allowed to grow.


50485.4.  In the event that a city or county has adopted, or
hereafter adopts, a comprehensive zoning ordinance regulating, among
other things, the height of buildings, any airport zoning regulations
applicable to the same area or portion thereof may be incorporated
in and made a part of such comprehensive zoning regulations, and be
administered and enforced in connection therewith.
   In the event of conflict between any airport zoning regulations
adopted under this article and any other regulations applicable to
the same area whether the conflict be with respect to the height of
structures or trees, the use of land, or any other matter, and
whether such other regulations were adopted by the city or county
which adopted the airport zoning regulations or by some other city or
county, the more stringent limitation or requirement shall govern
and prevail.


50485.5.  No airport zoning regulations shall be adopted, amended or
changed under this article except by action of the legislative body
of the city or county in question after a public hearing in relation
thereto, at which parties in interest and citizens shall have an
opportunity to be heard. Notice of the hearing shall be published
pursuant to Section 6066 in an official paper, or a paper of general
circulation, in the city or county in which is located the airport
hazard area to be zoned.



50485.6.  Prior to the initial zoning of any airport hazard area
under this article, the city or county which is to adopt the
regulations shall appoint a commission, to be known as the airport
zoning commission, to recommend the boundaries of the various zones
to be established and the regulations to be adopted therefor. Such
commission shall make a preliminary report and hold public hearings
thereon before submitting its final report, and the legislative body
of the city or county shall not hold its public hearings or take
other action until it has received the final report of such
commission. Where a city or county planning commission already
exists, it shall be appointed as the airport zoning commission.



50485.7.  All airport zoning regulations adopted under this article
shall be reasonable and none shall impose any requirement or
restriction which is not reasonably necessary to effectuate the
purposes of this article. In determining what regulations it may
adopt, each city or county shall consider, among other things, the
character of the flying operations expected to be conducted at the
airport, the nature of the terrain within the airport hazard area,
the character of the neighborhood, and the uses to which the property
to be zoned is put and adaptable.



50485.8.  No airport zoning regulations adopted under this article
shall require the removal, lowering, or other change or alteration of
any structure or tree not conforming to the regulations when adopted
or amended, or otherwise interfere with the continuance of any
nonconforming use, except as provided in Section 50485.10.




50485.9.  All airport zoning regulations adopted under this article
shall provide for the administration and enforcement of such
regulations by an administrative agency which may be an agency
created by such regulations or any official, board, or other existing
agency of the city or county adopting the regulations, if
satisfactory to that city or county. The duties of any administrative
agency designated pursuant to this article shall include that of
hearing and deciding all applications for permits and variances under
Section 50485.10.


50485.10.  Any airport zoning regulations shall provide that before
any nonconforming structure or tree may be replaced, substantially
altered or repaired, rebuilt, allowed to grow higher, or replanted, a
permit must be secured from the administrative agency authorized to
administer and enforce the regulations, authorizing such replacement,
change or repair. No permit shall be granted that would allow the
establishment or creation of an airport hazard or permit a
nonconforming structure or tree or nonconforming use to be made or
become higher or become a greater hazard to air navigation than it
was when the applicable regulation was adopted or than it is when the
application for a permit is made. Except as provided herein, all
applications for permits shall be granted. No such permit shall be
required to make maintenance repairs to or to replace parts of
existing structures which do not enlarge or increase the height of
the existing structure.
   Any person desiring to erect any structure, or increase the height
of any structure, or permit the growth of any tree, or otherwise use
his property in violation of airport zoning regulations adopted
under this article, may apply to the administrative agency for a
variance from the zoning regulations in question. Such variances
shall be allowed where a literal application or enforcement of the
regulations would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary
hardship and the relief granted would not be contrary to the public
interest but do substantial justice and be in accordance with the
spirit of the regulations and this article; provided, that any
variance may be allowed subject to any reasonable conditions that the
administrative agency may deem necessary to effectuate the purpose
of this article.
   In granting any permit or variance under this section, the
administrative agency may, if it deems such action advisable to
effectuate the purposes of this article and reasonable in the
circumstances, so condition such permit or variance as to require the
owner of the structure or tree in question to permit the city and
county, at its own expense, to install, operate, and maintain thereon
such markers and lights as may be necessary to indicate to flyers
the presence of an airport hazard.



50485.11.  Any person aggrieved or taxpayer affected by any decision
of the administrative agency or of any governing body of a city or
county, may petition a court for a review of the matter in accordance
with law.
   The court shall have exclusive jurisdiction to affirm, modify, or
set aside the decision brought up for review, in whole or in part,
and if need be, to order further proceedings by the administrative
agency. The findings of fact of the administrative agency, if
supported by substantial evidence, shall be accepted by the court as
conclusive, and no objection to a decision of the administrative
agency shall be considered by the court unless such objection shall
have been urged before the administrative agency, or, if it was not
so urged, unless there were reasonable grounds for failure to do so.
   In any case in which airport zoning regulations adopted under this
article, although generally reasonable, are held by a court to
interfere with the use or enjoyment of a particular structure or
parcel of land to such an extent, or to be so onerous in their
application to such a structure or parcel of land, as to constitute a
taking or deprivation of that property in violation of the
Constitution of this State or the Constitution of the United States,
such holding shall not affect the application of such regulations to
other structures and parcels of land.



50485.12.  Each violation of this article or of any regulations,
orders, or rulings promulgated or made pursuant to this article,
shall constitute a misdemeanor. In addition, the city or county
adopting zoning regulations under this article may institute in any
court of competent jurisdiction an action to prevent, restrain,
correct or abate any violation of this article, or of airport zoning
regulations adopted under this article, or of any order or ruling
made in connection with their administration or enforcement, and the
court shall adjudge to the plaintiff such relief, by way of
injunction (which may be mandatory) or otherwise, as may be proper
under all the facts and circumstances of the case, in order fully to
effectuate the purpose of this article and of the regulations adopted
and orders and rulings made pursuant thereto.



50485.14.  Neither this article nor anything expressed in it is
intended to be or is to be construed as a denial of the power of
local governing bodies and agencies to provide for zoning regulations
pursuant to Article XI, Section 11, of the Constitution.
