Acquisition of air rights
Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
In any case in which:
1. Nonconforming use. It is desired to remove, lower or otherwise terminate a nonconforming
use; or
2. Approach protection. The approach protection necessary cannot, because of constitutional
limitations, be provided by airport zoning regulations under this chapter; or
3. Acquisition of property rights. It appears advisable that the necessary approach protection be
provided by acquisition of property rights rather than by airport zoning regulations; the political

subdivision within which the property or nonconforming use is located, or the political subdivision
owning the airport or served by it, may acquire by purchase, grant or condemnation in the manner
provided by the law under which political subdivisions are authorized to acquire real property for public
purposes, such an air right, easement or other estate or interest in the property or nonconforming use in
question as may be necessary to effectuate the purpose of this chapter.
