This property is currently shown on the approved Airport Layout Plan as aeronautical use land; however the property is currently not being used for aeronautical purposes and the proposed use of this property is compatible with airport operations. The City/County will ultimately use this land to acquire a 2.33 acre parcel located south of Washington Street, and East of Highway 41 South. The Washington Street property is located within the FAR Part 77 Primary and Transitional Approach Surfaces for a Precision Instrument Runway, and will be used to protect the approach surface to Runway 15.
