Goose Bay Airport Zoning Regulations
AI-assisted research summary: These zoning regulations restrict certain buildings, objects, vegetation growth, and land uses around Goose Bay Airport if they would exceed protected surfaces or interfere with aeronautical communications.
Goose Bay Airport Zoning Regulations Whereas, pursuant to subsection 5.5(1)a of the Aeronautics Act, a copy of the proposed Goose Bay Airport Zoning Regulations, substantially in the form set out in the annexed regulations, was published in two successive issues of newspapers serving the area to which the proposed regulations relate, namely on March 19 and 26, 2001 in The Labradorian and in two successive issues of the Canada Gazette Part I, on March 24 and 31, 2001, and a reasonable opportunity was afforded to interested persons to make representations to the Minister of National Defence with respect to the proposed regulations; R.S., c. 33 (1st Supp.), s. 1 And Whereas the proposed regulations would prevent lands adjacent to or in the vicinity of the Goose Bay airport from being used or developed in a manner that is, in the opinion of the Minister of National Defence, incompatible with the safe operation of an airport or aircraft; Therefore, Her Excellency the Governor General in Council, on the recommendation of the Minister of National Defence, pursuant to paragraph 5.4(2)(b)a of the Aeronautics Act, hereby makes the annexed Goose Bay Airport Zoning Regulations. The following definitions apply in these Regulations. airport means the Goose Bay Airport, situated in the Electoral District of Lake Melville, in the Province of Newfoundland. (aéroport) airport zoning reference point means a point having an elevation of 44.6 metres above mean sea level, described in Part 1 of the schedule. (point de repère du zonage de l’aéroport) approach surfaces means the imaginary inclined planes that extend upward and outward from each end of a strip, more particularly described in Part 3 of the schedule. (surface d’approche) outer surface means an imaginary plane located above and in the immediate vicinity of the airport, more particularly described in Part 5 of the schedule, the outer limits of which are described in Part 6 of the schedule. (surface extérieure) strip means a rectangular portion of the landing area of the airport, including the runway, that is prepared for the take-off and landing of aircraft in a particular direction, more particularly described in Part 2 of the schedule. (bande) transitional surface means an imaginary inclined plane that extends upward and outward from the lateral limits of a strip and its approach surfaces, more particularly described in Part 4 of the schedule. (surface de transition) These Regulations apply in respect of all lands, other than airport lands, and public road allowances that are adjacent to or in the vicinity of the airport, the outer limits of which lands are described in Part 7 of the schedule. No person shall place, erect or construct or permit to be placed, erected or constructed on any land in respect of which these Regulations apply any building, structure or object, or an addition to any existing building, structure or object, the highest point of which would exceed in elevation at the location of the building, structure or object an approach surface; the outer surface; or a transitional surface. No owner or lessee of any lands in respect of which these Regulations apply shall permit an object of natural growth to exceed in elevation any of the surfaces referred to in section 3 that project immediately over and above the surface of the land at the location of the object. No owner or lessee of any lands in respect of which these Regulations apply shall permit those lands or any part of them to be used in a manner that may cause interference with aeronautical communications. In order to reduce bird hazards to aviation, no owner or lessee of lands referred to in these Regulations shall permit those lands or any part of them to be used as a site for a sanitary land fill; a food garbage disposal site; a sewage lagoon; or an open water storage reservoir. [Repeal] These Regulations come into force on the day on which they are registered. The airport zoning reference point is a point located at the intersection of the centre line projection of runway 08-26 and the easterly end of the strip associated with the approach surface to Runway 26. The reference point has grid coordinates of North 5 910 381.35 metres and East 377 749.17 metres and is shown on Public Works and Government Services Canada Goose Bay Airport Zoning Plan No. S-4006, dated February 11, 2000.
