P.R. Laws tit. 23, § 195
The Board is hereby empowered, with the advice of the Department of Transportation and Public Works and the Board on Environmental Quality to adopt, administer and enforce regulations for the zoning of airports and the lands located outside their boundaries in urban, rural and/or farming areas, directed to prevent the creating or establishing of aerial navigation hazards in each case where an aerial navigation area exists in connection with an airport. The regulations for such aerial navigation hazard area may divide the said area into zones and, within such zones, specify the uses permitted with regard to the land there and regulate and restrict the height to which buildings or structures or objects of natural growth may rise. The regulations so adopted for an aerial navigation hazard area shall have as their purpose the enforcing of the airport zone plan adopted by the Board with the advice of the Department of Transportation and Public Works and the Board on Environmental Quality for a publicly owned airport, as amended, whenever necessary pursuant to the procedure provided in §§ 62—63j of this title.
The Board may delegate in the Permit Management Office any optional phase in the execution and administration of the regulations adopted pursuant to this chapter.
