I. INTRODUCTION |
A. Introduction
To encourage and
ensure the provision of adequate services and facilities, economic health, and
orderly development of aviation and related Aeronautical Activities at
The following sections set forth the Minimum Standards
prerequisite to a person or Entity operating upon and engaging in one (1) or
more Aeronautical Activities at the airport. These standards shall apply
to the
In all cases where the words "standards" or "requirements" appear, it shall be understood that they are modified by the word "minimum" except where a "maximum" is clearly identified. Determinations of "minimum" shall be from the Airport Manager’s point of view as the operator of the Airport. All Operators are encouraged to exceed the "minimum" in terms of quality of facilities or services. No Operator will be allowed to occupy an area or conduct Activities at the Airport under conditions less than the "minimum."
Notwithstanding the above, the City may temporarily or permanently modify, waive, delete, or amend any of the requirements herein with respect to a particular person or entity upon a showing of good cause. The intent of this provision is to provide the City with the reasonable flexibility to address individual concerns and issues and to recognize those instances where a rigid adherence to these minimum standards may not be in the City’s best interest. Amendments, deletions, modifications or waivers of specific provisions of these minimum standards shall be accomplished by the City.
B. Statement of Policy
It is the intent
of the City to plan, manage, operate, finance, and develop the
The granting of rights and privileges to engage in Aeronautical Activities shall not be construed in any manner as affording an Operator exclusive right of use of the premises and/or facilities at the Airport, other than those premises which may be leased exclusively to Operator, and then only to the extent provided in a written lease, license, and/or permit. The City reserves and retains the right for the use of the Airport by others who may desire to use the same, pursuant to applicable Federal, State, and Local laws, ordinances, codes, and other regulatory measures pertaining to such use. The City further reserves the right to designate specific areas on the Airport in accordance with the current Airport Layout Plan (ALP) for the airport. Such designation shall give consideration to the nature and extent of the operation, the land and improvements available for such purpose, and shall be consistent with the orderly and safe operation of the Airport.
Many types of Aeronautical Activities may exist which are too varied to reasonably permit the establishment of specific Minimum Standards for each. When specific Aeronautical Activities are proposed for conduct at the Airport which do not fall within the categories heretofore documented, Minimum Standards will be developed on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration the desires of the applicant, the Airport, and the public demand for such services.
These Minimum Standards may be supplemented, amended, or modified by the City, from time to time, and in such a manner and extent as is deemed appropriate by the City. The City will utilize the recommendations and comments from the Aviation Advisory Board in deliberations regarding Minimum Standards.
C. Severability Clause
If one (1) or more clauses, sections, or provisions of these Minimum Standards shall be held to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable by final judgement of any court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such clauses, sections, or provisions shall not in any way affect any other clauses, sections, or provisions of these Minimum standards.
D. Violations
The City reserves the right to prohibit any Operator from using the Airport in connection with any of such Operator's Aeronautical Activities upon determination that such Operator has not complied with these Minimum Standards or has otherwise jeopardized the safety of persons utilizing the Airport or the property or operations of the Airport.
