BACKGROUND
The current Airport Zoning Overlay (AZO) for MidCarolina Regional Airport (RUQ) was adopted October 4, 2004 and height / use limitations are managed by the Rowan County Planning and Salisbury Development Services departments based on jurisdiction.
The RUQ Airport Mater Plan (AMP) was adopted by the Commission in 2008, but was amended by a 2016 Airport Layout Plan (ALP) supplement when it became apparent that due to environmental and financial constraints, the proposed one-thousand-foot (1000’) extension to the southern end of the runway would no longer be pursued. The 2016 ALP removal of the southern runway extension resulted in a negligible change in the surfaces regulated by the AZO, as well as the removal of the southern transitional and approach surfaces.
The 2004 AZO was not updated to reflect the 2016 ALP, hence the request for Z 08-22.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Board forwards a favorable recommendation on Z 08-22 and as such, requests the Commission to schedule a public hearing at its September 19, 2022 to consider the request.
