Airport zoning district to affect racetrack plan

Commissioners will consider the proposal.

WARREN ? Plans for a $300 million indoor racetrack appear to conflict with
a zoning proposal intended to protect the Youngstown Air Reserve Station
from closure.

The Trumbull County Planning Commission and Save Our Air Reservists, a
pro-base advocacy group, are calling on county commissioners to create an
airport zoning district covering large swaths of Vienna, Fowler,
Brookfield, Howland and Bazetta townships.

Within this district, the groups want to impose zoning regulations that
would limit tall buildings in flight paths to and from the
Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport.

The regulations ? which mirror FAA requirements ? would ban buildings
taller than 150 feet within about 2.5 miles of the airport, and buildings
taller than 400 feet within about 3.5 miles.

The height of buildings would also be regulated in two wedges of land
extending about eight miles from each end of the primary runway. Dense
settlements, like trailer parks, apartment complexes and schools, could
also be regulated in these areas.
