• Why did I receive a “Notice to Adjacent Property Owners” letter prior to the February 6th Planning Commission meeting?

  Letters were sent to every property owner within 1,400 feet of an existing airport, aircraft landing strip or helicopter landing pad. The sole purpose of the letters was to inform the property owner that the proposed zoning regulations would be discussed at the Feb. 6^th Planning Commission meeting. Receiving the letter only meant that the owner’s property was within 1,400 feet of an airfield.
  
  

  
  

• Why does the County need these regulations now?

  The State of Florida regulates Public airports and requires each county with a Public-use airport within its jurisdiction provide regulations for that use under Chapter 333 of the Florida Statutes. The State does not regulate Private-use airports nor does it require counties to do so. However, the proposed amendment was expanded based on public comment to include some regulation of private-use aircraft landing facilities on a voluntary basis.
