|---|---|---|---|
base_districts[*].max_height_ft | cap_at | part77_surface_elevation | Structure height in the airport hazard area is capped by the lower of the underlying zoning maximum and the FAA Part 77 imaginary surface elevation; airport zoning regulations adopted under K.S.A. 3-307 are the state-law mechanism. |
review_type | require | airport_zoning_permit_for_structures_in_hazard_area | Construction in the airport hazard area requires an airport zoning permit from the local airport zoning authority; the permit incorporates FAA Form 7460-1 obstruction-evaluation outcomes. |

Research notes
Applies around all Kansas public-use airports — most consequential at Wichita-Eisenhower (KICT), Kansas City-MCI surfaces extending into Wyandotte County, Manhattan Regional (KMHK), Topeka-Forbes (KFOE), Salina Regional (KSLN), Hutchinson Regional (KHUT). State enabling statute requires the local airport zoning authority to adopt regulations consistent with FAA standards in 14 CFR Part 77 (imaginary surfaces) and AC 150/5300-13 (RPZ). Federal conflict check enabled because FAA standards set the substantive floor for the state regulations.
