N.D. Cent. Code § 2-04-06
2-04-06. Airport zoning requirements
2-04-06. Airport zoning requirements
1. Reasonableness. All airport zoning regulations adopted under this chapter must be
reasonable and none may impose any requirement or restriction which is not
reasonably necessary to effectuate the purposes of this chapter. In determining what
regulations it may adopt, each political subdivision and joint airport zoning board shall
consider, among other things, the character of the flying operations expected to be
conducted at the airport, the nature of the terrain within the airport hazard area, the
character of the neighborhood, and the uses to which the property to be zoned is put
and adaptable.
2. Nonconforming uses. No airport zoning regulations adopted under this chapter may
require the removal, lowering, or other change or alteration of any structure or tree not
conforming to the regulations when adopted or amended, or otherwise interfere with
the continuance of any nonconforming use, except as provided in subsection 3 of
section 2-04-07.
