Section 16:54-3.4 - Application review

(a) All applications for aeronautical facility licenses shall be reviewed by the Bureau to ascertain that the minimum requirements of this chapter are met, and to determine whether the issuance of the license would be consistent with public health, safety, and welfare, and the development of aeronautics in the State. In making its determination, the Bureau will consider aviation development, surrounding land uses, local land use ordinances, topography, the potential impact of noise produced by the aircraft in accordance with FAA regulations, air traffic patterns proposed to be used, air operational demand, aircraft movement operations, capacity of nearby aeronautical facilities, economic factors, public comments, public hearing testimony, comments from local authorities, and any other factors deemed relevant by the Department. Final decisions will be made by the Director based on the determination of the Bureau.

1. The Bureau reserves the right to approve the methods, standards, techniques, and sites to be used in the construction, change, modification, and/or alteration of new or existing aeronautical facilities to ensure compliance with reasonable engineering practices and the safety of the public.

2. Any proposed changes to an approved application must be provided to the Manager for review and approval before proceeding with the change. Changes to a previously submitted application that would substantially change the impact of the facility on the contiguous land area or airspace, cannot be approved and will require the submission of a new application incorporating the changes.
