Airport Vicinity District

The OA-1 district is intended to be located in the vicinity of and particularly off the ends of the runways at Tallahassee International Airport which are subject to day/night sound levels (DNL) that exceed the threshold identified by both the Federal Aviation Administration and the state as being compatible with certain land use types. The intent of the OA-1 district is to provide reasonable and responsible development of parcels lying beneath the identified noise contours. The district provides for compatible planned office development and high technology and research and development activities as well as a limited number of activities that support the principal uses within areas subject to levels of aircraft noise of 65 DNL or above.; This district is not intended to accommodate industrial activities. Residential uses are precluded in this district as are noise sensitive institutional and other noise sensitive land uses. This district may apply to properties in the Suburban Future Land Use category. Planned unit developments are encouraged in this district where such application is viable based on layout and size of parcels. Integration of development occurring on one tract with potential future development on adjacent tracts located in the same zoning district shall be provided.; All buildings, their uses and accessory facilities shall comply with criteria relating to height, glare and electronic interference as delineated in FAR part 77 and related advisory guidance. More stringent criteria than contained in part 77 may be implemented if deemed necessary by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), state, or the airport director.
