OAR 660-013-0040
Aviation Facility Planning Requirements


A local government shall adopt comprehensive plan and land use regulation requirements for each state or local aviation facility subject to the requirements of ORS 836.610 (Local government land use plans and regulations to accommodate airport zones and uses)(1). Planning requirements for airports identified in ORS 836.610 (Local government land use plans and regulations to accommodate airport zones and uses)(1) shall include:

(1)

A map, adopted by the local government, showing the location of the airport boundary. The airport boundary shall include the following areas, but does not necessarily include all land within the airport ownership:

(a)

Existing and planned runways, taxiways, aircraft storage (excluding aircraft storage accessory to residential airpark type development), maintenance, sales, and repair facilities;

(b)

Areas needed for existing and planned airport operations; and

(c)

Areas at non-towered airports needed for existing and planned airport uses that:

(A)

Require a location on or adjacent to the airport property;

(B)

Are compatible with existing and planned land uses surrounding the airport; and

(C)

Are otherwise consistent with provisions of the acknowledged comprehensive plan, land use regulations, and any applicable statewide planning goals.

(d)

“Compatible,” as used in this rule, is not intended as an absolute term meaning no interference or adverse impacts of any type with surrounding land uses.

(2)

A map or description of the location of existing and planned runways, taxiways, aprons, tiedown areas, and navigational aids;

(3)

A map or description of the general location of existing and planned buildings and facilities;

(4)

A projection of aeronautical facility and service needs;

(5)

Provisions for airport uses not currently located at the airport or expansion of existing airport uses:

(a)

Based on the projected needs for such uses over the planning period;

(b)

Based on economic and use forecasts supported by market data;

(c)

When such uses can be supported by adequate types and levels of public facilities and services and transportation facilities or systems authorized by applicable statewide planning goals;

(d)

When such uses can be sited in a manner that does not create a hazard for aircraft operations; and

(e)

When the uses can be sited in a manner that is:

(A)

Compatible with existing and planned land uses surrounding the airport; and

(B)

Consistent with applicable provisions of the acknowledged comprehensive plan, land use regulations, and any applicable statewide planning goals.

(6)

When compatibility issues arise, the decision maker shall take reasonable steps to eliminate or minimize the incompatibility through location, design, or conditions. A decision on compatibility pursuant to this rule shall further the policy in ORS 836.600 (Policy).

(7)

A description of the types and levels of public facilities and services necessary to support development located at or planned for the airport including transportation facilities and services. Provision of public facilities and services and transportation facilities or systems shall be consistent with applicable state and local planning requirements.

(8)

Maps delineating the location of safety zones, compatibility zones, and existing noise impact boundaries that are identified pursuant to OAR 340, division 35.

(9)

Local government shall request the airport sponsor to provide the economic and use forecast information required by this rule. The economic and use forecast information submitted by the sponsor shall be subject to local government review, modification and approval as part of the planning process outlined in this rule. Where the sponsor declines to provide such information, the local government may limit the airport boundary to areas currently devoted to airport uses described in OAR 660-013-0100 (Airport Uses at Non-Towered Airports).
