§ 497.120. Airport zoning regulations: Provision for replacement or alteration of nonconforming structure or tree; permits

1. Any airport zoning regulations adopted under this chapter may require that a permit

be obtained before any new structure or use may be constructed or established and

before any existing use or structure may be substantially changed or substantially

altered, but no such permit shall be required to make maintenance repairs to any existing

structure, or to replace parts of any existing structure, which repairs or replacements

do not substantially enlarge or increase the height of an existing structure. 2. In any event, however, all such regulations shall provide that before any nonconforming

structure or tree may be replaced, substantially altered, rebuilt, allowed to grow

higher, or replanted, a permit must be secured from the administrative agency authorized

to administer and enforce the regulations, authorizing such replacement or change. 3. No permit shall be granted that would allow the establishment or creation of an

airport hazard or permit a nonconforming structure or tree or nonconforming use to

be made or become higher or become a greater hazard to air navigation than it was

when the applicable regulation was adopted or than it is when the application for

a permit is made. 4. Except as provided herein, all applications for permits shall be granted.
