Airport Overlay District

lawlady1 — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 16:44:58 +0000

In response to questions about a visual representation of the Airport Overlay District for both Flora and Delphi, please take a look at the renderings graciously prepared and provided by Ken Ross. These pictures show how the overlay district will be applied in the proposed Zoning Ordinance.

Note 1 – The District defines areas of protection and caution; it does not prohibit development.
Note 2 – Some of the restrictions are also imposed by the State of Indiana and the FAA
Note 3 – Carroll County Zoning stops at the County Line; therefore, these restrictions to not apply to Tippecanoe County (unless they are also FAA or State restrictions)
