airports.
In order to prevent the creation or establishment of airport hazards,
any political subdivision or subdivisions owning, controlling, or operating
an airport, or those within or partly within fifty thousand (50,000) feet
of a military airfield control tower, may adopt, administer, and enforce,
in the manner and upon the conditions hereinafter prescribed, airport
zoning regulations for such airport hazard area, whether such hazard area
is located within or without the territorial limits of such subdivision,
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:
Provided, That the governing body of any political subdivision within
the boundaries of which, or within five (5) miles of the territorial limits
of which is located a privately owned airport which uses its facilities to
provide a service to the public, may exercise zoning powers granted herein
if in the opinion of said governing body such action is necessary to
protect the public interests in the services afforded by said privately
owned airport.
