BACKGROUND: 

The proposed ordinance further protects the airspace within the Clark County Airport System by requiring applicants to obtain Federal Aviation Administration reviews prior to entitlements for airports, airstrips, heliports, vertiports, and aviation-flight uses. Additionally, a Clark County Department of Aviation Director's Permit will be required before building permits can be issued for airports, airstrips, heliports, vertiports, and aviation-flight uses. 

The proposed ordinance also incorporates new definitions for emerging technologies that are entering the aviation industry and definitions for the Director of Aviation and Federal Aviation Regulations.

Staff requests that the ordinance be introduced and a public hearing be set for September 17, 2024, at 10:00 a.m.
