20.94.010 Purpose.

The Airport Approach – Overlay Zone is intended on the Official Zoning Map. It is designed as an “overlay zone” to protect certain runway approaches of the Walla Walla City-County Airport from land uses and structures which would tend to impair the full utilization of the runways. It is further the purpose of this overlay zone to protect the health and lives of the public by preventing the undue concentration of population subject to airport hazards. The rules of this overlay zone are imposed in addition to those of the underlying district. Developments must comply with the requirements of both zones, or the more restrictive of the two (2).

Permitted uses in the Airport Approach Overlay Zone include those uses in the underlying zoning district except as specified in Section 20.94.020.
