The purpose and intent of this chapter is to establish an airport overlay zoning district on properties
located on, adjacent to, and in the vicinity of public-use airports including Easton State, Cle Elum
Municipal, DeVere Field and Kittitas County Airport (Bowers Field), in order to protect the health,
welfare, safety, and quality of life of the general public, property owners, airport operators, and
aviation community; and also to ensure compatible land uses in the vicinity of the affected
environments of the airport overlay zoning district. With regulations set forth in the Adopted 14 CFR

2. Safety Zones. ln order to ca rry out the provisions of this chapter and to promote land use
compatibility on lands within and adjacent to and in the vicinity of the Kittitas County Airport
(Bowers Field), there are created and established certain safety zones. Such safety zones are
shown on Kittitas County Airport (Bowers Field) overlay zoning district map "8", as amended.
Within each of the safety zones, certain land use limitations are established and certain
development standards are imposed in addition to the land uses and development standards of
the underlying zoning. Where the requirements imposed by these safety zones conflict with the
requirements of the underlying zoning, the more restrictive requirement shall be enforced. The
safety zones are established and defined as follows:

ln order to carry out the provisions of this chapter, there is hereby created an airport overlay zoning

requirements of the undedying zoning, the more restrictive requirement shall be enforced. With the
exception ofthose necessary and incidental to airport operations, no uses shall be permitted that
allow buildings, structures, vegetation or other development that penetrates the imaginary air
surfaces described below.

17.58.060 Permits.
1. Future Uses. Except as specifically provided in subsections (AX1), (2), and (3) ofthis section, no
material change shall be made in the use of land, no structure shall be erected or otherwise
established, and no tree shall be planted in any zone created unless a permit therefore has been
applied for and granted. Each application for a permit shall indicate the purpose for which the
permit is desired, with sufficient particularity to permit it to be determined whether the resulting
use, structure, or tree is consistent with the provisions of this chapter. No permit for a use
inconsistentwith the provisions ofthis chapter shall be granted unless a variance has been
approved in accordance with subsection D of this section.
a. ln the area lying within the limits of the horizontalzone and conical zone, no permit shall
be required for any tree or structure less than 75 feet of vertical height above the ground
except when, because of terrain, land contour, or topographic features, such tree or
structure would extend above the height limits prescribed for such zones.
b. ln areas lying within the limits of the approach zones but at a horizontal distance of not
less than 4,200 feet from each end of the runway, no permit shall be required for any tree
or structure less than 75 feet of vertical height above the ground, except when such tree or
structure would extend above the height limit prescribed for such approach zones.
c. ln the areas lying within the limits of the transition zones beyond the perimeter of the
horizontal zone, no permit shall be required for any tree or structure less than 75 feet of
vertical height above the ground, except when such tree or structure, because of terrain,
land contour, or topographic features, would extend above the height limit prescribed for
such transition zones.
d. As a condition for approval of new development within the approach surfaces or safety
zones a notice shall be recorded with the county auditor priorto final approval of new
subdivisions, short subdivisions, building permits, conditional use permits, special use
permit or other similar permits, unless said notice is already recorded on the property. Said
notice shall state: "This propedy is located adjacent to an airport and routinely subject to
overflight activity by aircraft using the airport; residents and tenants may experience
inconvenience, annoyance, or discomfort from noise, smell or other effects of aviation
activities."
2. Existing Uses. No permit shall be granted that would allow the establishment or creation of an
obstruction or permit a nonconforming use, structure, or tree to become a greater hazard to air
navigation, than it was on the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter or any
amendments thereto or than it is when the application for a permit is made.
3. Nonconforming Uses Abandoned or Destroyed. Whenever the airport manageri or his or her
designee, determines that a nonconforming or structure has been abandoned or more than
eighty percent torn down, physically deteriorated, or decayed, no permit shall be granted that
would allow such structure to exceed the applicable height limit or otherwise deviate from the
zoning regulations.
4. Variances. Any person desiring to erect or increase the height of any structure, or permit the
growth ofanytree, or use property, not in accordance with the regulations prescribed in this
chapter, may apply to the Hearing Examiner for a variance from such regulations. The
application for variance shall be accomplished by a determination from the FederalAviation
Administration as to the effect of the proposal on the operation of air navigation facilities and
the safe, efficient use of navigable airspace. Such variances shall be allowed where it is duly
found that a literal application or enforcement of the regulations will result in unnecessary
hardship and relief granted, will not be contrary to the public interest, will not create a hazard to
air navigation, will do substantialjustice, and will be in accordance with the spirit of this chapter.
A copy of the variance application shall be forwarded to thellttitas_Cgg4lylgrnrng4jty
Development Services department consistent with the notification procedures under KCC Title
15A.
5. Obstruction Marking and Lighting. Any permit or variance granted may, if such action is
deemed advisable to effectuate the purpose ofthis chapter, be so conditioned as to require the
owner of the structure or tree in question to install, operate, and maintain, at the owner's
expense, such markings and lights as may be necessary.
6. Nothing in this chapter shall diminish the responsibility of project proponents to submit a
Notice of Construction or Alteration to the Federal Aviation Administration if required in
accordance with Federal Aviation Regulations Part 77, "Objects Affecting Navigable Airspace".
