Section 17C.182.400 Accident Potential Zones Established

In order to carry out the purpose and intent of the Fairchild Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ) Study and to restrict those land uses which may be hazardous to the operational safety of Fairchild AFB aircraft or threaten the safety of the occupants of the use, the following Accident Potential Zones (APZ) are hereby established and are illustrated on the official zoning map:

Proposed land uses in the clear zone shall be in accordance with Table 17C.182.410-1.
