HISTORY Adopted by Ord. PL-15 on 11/1/1979 Repealed & Reenacted by Ord. 91-020 §1 on 5/29/1991 Amended by Ord. 2001-001 §2 on 1/22/2001 Amended by Ord. 2025-002 §19 on 3/28/2025 18.80.078 FAA Notification (Form 7460-1) A. Federal and State Notice.
Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 77 requires that anyone proposing to construct anything which may obstruct the use of airspace by aircraft to provide a notice to that effect to the FAA. In addition, OAR 738.070.0060 requires notice also be sent to the Oregon Department of Aviation. Generally, construction proposals in the vicinity of airports may obstruct airspace. Notice to the FAA and Oregon Department of Aviation is required for anything which may affect landing areas, either existing or planned, which are open to the public, or are operated by one of the armed forces. B. FAA Form 7460-1 "Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration" is the notification form. It is to be submitted by the applicant directly to the FAA and Oregon Department of Aviation. Forms are available from the Oregon Department of Aviation or the Northwest Regional Office of the FAA. C.FAA Form 7460-1 should be submitted if the proposed construction or alteration meets the following criteria: 1. Anything over 200' AGL (above ground level at the site). 2. Proposals in the vicinity of an airport, if the proposal would be higher than a slope from the nearest point on a runway and increasing its elevation at a ratio of:
Longest Runway
Proximity to Runway
Slope
> 3,200’
Within 20,000’ Within 10,000’ Within 5,000’
100 to 1 50 to 1 25 to 1
3,200’ or less For a Heliport
D.For identification purposes, Deschutes County has established FAA Notification Areas around each of the public use airports within Deschutes County. The boundaries of these areas are based on the runway length. If a proposed construction project is located in one of these areas, the applicant shall determine if the height of the proposed project will require FAA notification as per DCC 18.80.076(C). In Deschutes County, each of the public-use airports has a runway longer than 3,200 feet. Therefore, each FAA notification area includes all land within 20,000 feet of each airport’s runway(s), and the slope to be used is 100 to 1. E. FAA notification is NOT required for any of the following construction or alteration: 1. Any object that would be shielded by existing structures of a permanent and substantial character or by natural terrain or topographic features of equal or greater height, and would be located in the congested area of a city, town, or settlement where it is evident
