within the airport zone except where a specific provision to the contrary is
provided in this chapter. Each business facing a private or public street shall
be permitted one wall sign and one freestanding sign, with a maximum height
of seven feet, for each street frontage. Total surface area for each sign must
not exceed 200 square feet and is calculated at 1.25 times the linear width
of the structure facing the street (i.e. 100 feet X 1.25 = 120 square feet of
signage). Freestanding signs shall be limited to a maximum area of 50 square
feet.
a. For those businesses, except rental storage hangars, which
provide aviation or aviation-support services, additional signage is permitted
in accordance with the following provisions:
i. A maximum of two signs are permitted for each habitable
structure accessing an airport taxiway.
ii. Each sign must be wall-mounted and may be illuminated,
internally or externally.
iii. For each structure, the applicant must identify

a maximum 100 percent of the allowable area provided below, while secondary
frontages are permitted a maximum 50 percent of the allowable area. The following
schedule shall apply to all such signs:

40 inches in height.

ii. Total height of the sign and structure is not to
exceed ten feet in height;
iii. Signs may only be constructed at public entrances
to the airport and must be located on county owned property outside of the public

accessible from the street. Any business identification signage shall be of
uniform size and may not exceed six square feet in sign area.
2. Landscaping. Non-aviation or aviation-supporting uses must provide
landscaping as part of the development plan. The percentage required shall be
consistent with that required under the landscape ordinance. Because of the
unique characteristics of the airport and leaseholds, a portion of the required
landscaping may be relocated to common areas and entrances of the Douglas County
airport. Additionally, at the discretion of the operations manager, the developer
may pay an in-lieu fee for that portion of the landscaping which would be transferred.
Aviation uses must landscape those portions of their leasehold which face a
street. No landscaping is required on those portions of the leasehold accessible
by aircraft. The areas required to be landscaped shall meet the following:
a. Landscape planter areas located adjacent to streets must
not be less than 15 feet in width.
b. Landscape planter areas located along side yards, outside
of aircraft operations areas, must be a minimum five feet in width.

which directs light to the ground and limits dispersion of light. No unshaded
light source will be permitted.
6. Off-street parking. Parking shall be provided in accordance with
chapter 20.692. Each use shall have sufficient parking
available to serve the uses conducted on its leasehold. No on-street parking
may be counted toward required off-street parking. Automobile parking is permitted
within a hangar while the aircraft normally stored in the hangar is in use.
Parking requirements for aviation-supporting uses shall be based upon the most
similar use as contained in this title. Where adopted standards do not establish
a specific standard, the parking requirement shall be established by the planning
commission following consultation with the director and operations manager.
The required number of loading spaces shall be determined as part of the design
review process. To the extent feasible, loading activities are to be located
at the rear of the building or screened from public view.
7. Aircraft parking. All aviation uses must provide sufficient space
on the leasehold for parking and staging of aircraft using the facility.
8. Building height. No building or structure within the airport
zone may exceed 45 feet in height. Additionally, no building or structure may
penetrate the Federal Aviation Regulations Part 77, Imaginary Surfaces, defined
for the Douglas County airport unless an aeronautical study has determined that
the structure would not constitute an obstruction.
9. Leasehold area. The minimum leasehold size is one-half acre,
with the exception of aircraft storage hangars which may be less than one-half
acre provided the performance criteria which follow are met. All uses must have
a lot of sufficient size to encompass all elements of their operation, including
buildings, storage, auto parking, aircraft storage, staging of aircraft, and
parking of service vehicles, such as fuel trucks.
10. Yards. No setbacks from leasehold lines are required, except
to accommodate required landscaping or to meet setbacks designated on the approved
airport layout plan. For the purposes of building regulations, that portion
of a leasehold adjacent to a taxiway shall be treated as if the taxiway was
a public street.
11. Taxiways. Lease holders shall be responsible for constructing,
paving and maintaining any taxiways necessary to connect their leasehold to
public taxiways. The location and design of these taxiways must be approved
by the director and the operations manager.
E. Compliance with chapter 20.614 (Design Review).
1. In order to insure consistency with the purpose of the district
and compatibility of uses, the airport layout plan, development standards, conditions
of any applicable special use permit approval, any new construction or substantial
alteration of an existing use must comply with the provisions of chapter 20.614,
design review. (Ord. 1002, 2002; Ord. 801, 1997; Ord. 763, 1996; Ord. 691, 1995)
