Why this matters
The airport zoning ordinance is a standalone overlay affecting property owners near Huron County Memorial Airport, limiting building heights and requiring permits for uses that could create flight hazards. It is distinct from the countywide zoning ordinance and matters for anyone planning construction, towers, or intensive land uses in the airport vicinity.
