AIRPARK DISTRICT (A)
Sections:

17.125.010 Purpose.
The airpark district is intended to recognize and protect the area as devoted to residential use and private use aviation, as designated on the comprehensive plan. It is the intent of this zone to recognize local small airports that are functional while at the same time incorporating a residential scale that would be compatible with the airport use. The airport district is not intended to allow an airport to develop a full commercial scale, but rather allow airports to have residential components for the aviator and homeowner to function within the same area.
