A. A political subdivision that has territory in the vicinity of a military airport or ancillary military facility that includes property in a high noise or accident potential zone shall adopt comprehensive and general plans and school district development plans, if applicable, for property in the high noise or accident potential zone to assure development compatible with the high noise and accident potential generated by military airport and ancillary military facility operations that have or may have an adverse effect on public health and safety. Each political subdivision, excluding school districts, shall adopt and enforce zoning regulations for property in the high noise or accident potential zone to assure development compatible with the high noise and accident potential generated by military airport and ancillary military facility operations that have or may have an adverse effect on public health and safety.

B. A political subdivision that has territory in the vicinity of a military airport or ancillary military facility shall incorporate sound attenuation standards pursuant to section 28-8482 into any building code in existence on or adopted after July 1, 2001 or after July 1 of the year in which the land becomes territory in the vicinity of a military airport or ancillary military facility. This section does not affect or require the modification of any building permit issued before July 1, 2001 or before July 1 of the year in which the land becomes territory in the vicinity of a military airport or ancillary military facility.

C. A political subdivision that has territory in the vicinity of a military airport or ancillary military facility that includes property in a high noise or accident potential zone shall adopt, administer and enforce the zoning regulations or school district development plans authorized by subsection A of this section in the same manner as the comprehensive zoning ordinance or school district development plans of the political subdivision as provided by law, except that a variance shall not be granted without a specific finding that the purpose of military airport or ancillary military facility compatibility is preserved.

D. This section does not affect the existing authority of a political subdivision to plan and zone on the basis of noise or accident potential in the vicinity of an airport owned or controlled by the political subdivision or to adopt restrictions or limitations in addition to those required by this section applicable to territory in the vicinity of a military airport or ancillary military facility.

E. This section does not restrict, limit or modify, or authorize or require any political subdivision to restrict, limit or modify, the right of a landowner to undertake and complete development and use of any property under the terms and conditions of a development plan or school district development plan approved on or before December 31, 2000, or on or before December 31 of the year in which the development’s property becomes territory in the vicinity of a military airport or ancillary military facility or pursuant to a written determination of compatibility issued by the military airport or ancillary military facility on or before December 31, 2004, by the political subdivision in whose territory or area of jurisdiction the property is located, except that the development must comply with the sound attenuation standards and specifications incorporated into any building code adopted pursuant to section 28-8482 by the political subdivision in whose territory or area of jurisdiction the development is located.

F. This section does not restrict, limit or modify, or authorize or require any political subdivision to restrict, limit or modify, the right of a landowner to undertake and complete development and use of any property located in a high noise or accident potential zone that is appurtenant to an ancillary military facility under the terms and conditions of a development plan or school district development plan approved on or before December 31, 2004 by the political subdivision in whose territory or area of jurisdiction the property is located or pursuant to a written determination of compatibility issued by the military airport or ancillary military facility on or before December 31, 2004, except that the development shall comply with the sound attenuation standards and specifications incorporated into any building code adopted pursuant to section 28-8482 by the political subdivision in whose territory or area of jurisdiction the development is located.

G. On or after July 1, 2001 or on or after December 31 of the year in which the property becomes territory in a high noise or accident potential zone, a political subdivision that has property in a high noise or accident potential zone shall notify the owner or owners of property in the high noise and accident potential zone of any additions or changes under this section to the general plan, comprehensive plan, zoning regulations or school district development plan of the political subdivision applicable to property in the high noise or accident potential zone. The political subdivision shall provide a notice of such additions or changes by publication as provided in Section 9-462.04, subsection A or section 11-814, subsection D, including a statement that the property is located in a high noise or accident potential zone, at least thirty days before final approval of the addition to or change in the general plan, permitted land uses, zoning regulation or school district development plan and within thirty days following the final approval of such an addition to or change in the general plan, permitted land uses, zoning regulation or school district development plan.

H. Any property owner described in subsection G of this section shall notify potential purchasers of the property and any potential lessees or renters that the property is located in a high noise and accident potential zone and is subject to the requirements of this section.

I. If a political subdivision includes property in the high noise or accident potential zone of a military airport or ancillary military facility, the political subdivision shall send notice to the attorney general of any approval, adoption or readoption of, or major amendment to, the general or comprehensive plan that impacts property in the high noise or accident potential zone of a military airport or ancillary military facility within three business days after the approval, adoption or readoption. If the attorney general determines the approval, adoption or readoption of the general or comprehensive plan or the major amendment to the general or comprehensive plan is not in compliance with subsection J of this section, the attorney general shall notify the political subdivision by certified mail, return receipt requested, of the determination of noncompliance. Within thirty days after the receipt of a determination of noncompliance by the attorney general as prescribed by this section, the governing body of the political subdivision shall reconsider any approval, adoption or readoption of, or major amendment to, the general or comprehensive plan that impacts property in the high noise or accident potential zone of a military airport or ancillary military facility. If the governing body reaffirms a prior action subject to an attorney general’s determination of noncompliance pursuant to this section, the attorney general may institute a civil action pursuant to subsection L of this section. If a political subdivision timely sends notice pursuant to this subsection and the attorney general fails to timely notify the political subdivision of a determination of noncompliance, the general or comprehensive plan or major amendment to the general or comprehensive plan shall be deemed to comply with subsection J of this section.

J. The attorney general shall determine compliance with this section in accordance with the following requirements applicable to zoning and development in a high noise or accident potential zone and to zoning and development in accident potential zone one and accident potential zone two. Compliance with respect to territory located in the arrival and departure corridor but outside the accident potential zone one, two and noise contour lines as described in section 28-8461, paragraph 9, subdivision (c) shall be determined in accordance with the requirements applicable to territory located in the 65-69 day-night sound level as listed below. Compliance with respect to the property described in section 28-8461, paragraph 9, subdivision (b) shall be determined in accordance with the compatible land use plan in the joint land use study completed in February 2004. If the political subdivision and the military airport mutually agree that an individual use is compatible and consistent with the high noise or accident potential of the military airport or ancillary military facility, as applicable, the use shall be deemed to comply with this subsection. Alternatively, for an individual use or a plan for development submitted to a military airport or ancillary military facility before December 31, 2004, this subsection does not preclude the military airport from determining that the individual use or plan for development is compatible and consistent with the high noise or accident potential zone of the military airport or ancillary military facility.
