Airport Zoning
The Union County Engineer administers the Airport Zoning Regulations as adopted by the Union County Commissioners to ensure the safety of aircraft flying in the vicinity of the Union County Airport. The Airspace Zoning Map shows the areas or zones around the airport that are subject to these regulations.
In addition to the local permit, the applicant must also obtain permits from the FAA and ODOT Division of Aviation as explained in this memo from the Ohio Board of Building Standards .
Applicants are also recommended to review their plans with the Union County Airport Authority to see if other site considerations are a safety concern. For example, a stormwater pond could attract geese and cause a bird strike hazard.
