P.R. Laws tit. 23, § 194
The Board shall draft, adopt and revise, whenever necessary, airport zone plans for each publicly owned airport in the Commonwealth, with the advice of the Department of Transportation and Public Works and the Board on Environmental Quality. Each such plan shall specify the circumstances under which any structures or trees are or would be aerial navigation hazards, the area within which measures are required for the safety of the aerial approaches to the airport, and what the limitations upon height and other objectives of such measures should be. In the adoption and revision of any such plan, the Board shall consider, among other things, the nature of the flight operations which it is expected will be conducted at the airport, the flight patterns and the regulations affecting the flight operations at the airport, the nature of the land, the noise level, the height of the existing structures and trees above the airport level, and the possibility of reducing the height of or removing the existing obstructions. The Board may obtain and take into consideration the viewpoints of the federal government agencies in charge of the development of Civil Aeronautics with regard to the aerial approaches necessary for the safety of the flight operations at the airport.
In the same manner provided in this section the Board shall set up and adopt, with respect to the said zones, such regulations as may be necessary for limiting the height of structures or objects of natural growth erected or located thereon.
