Land Use Planning Strategies
Uniform Reqional implementation of certain strate~lles:
· School Construction Zones
- Include provisions of F.S. Chapter 333 In all local zoning codes.
· Noise Impact Zones, including contoum if applicable
- Prevent nsw homes in areas of known aircraft noise annoyance,
- Airporte/Communitisedetermine approp~ate size & dimensions
· Disclosure
- AdoptanAIrport Notification Zone - Airports/Communitise

~ Noise Abatement Measures
TCA Working Group Recommendations
Primary Categories...
1. Measures to'reduce airspace constraints and improve
positive control.
2. Measures to reduce impacts of touch and go training
operations.
3. Measure to increaseflight treining use of underutilized
airports.
~ Consider new remote flight training airport.

Noise Abatement Measures
TCA Working Group Recommendations
Meseures*to reduce airsoace constraints and imnrove oo~ltive control:
`/Install VRB ASR-11, supply appropriate workforca and includeOBE in
regional eirapace~design.
~ Enhance ragional air traffic centrol usrvices,
Measures to reduce Jmeacte of touch and ao.tminlno onsration~:
~ Uniform regional touCh & gopOlicies (voluntary}
- No Touch& (So operafionsbefore 8:00 AM and 2 hours:after
sunset Monday through Sunday (Sunday at local discretion)
- Ne Touch& Go operations on major hoJidays (Thanksgiving,
