Then, in Pat graph 151.41(c),.'41 it is stated that the P -Q Ztnie "i5 proposed for the, area of land,, in the flight traffic pattern of � Ch•ic,o Municipal Airport (referred to as "clear zone") consisting of appioximatoly 60 'acres . This would restrict the land to public ` use such as. playgrounds r and schools: However, further aces-: rictions may be necessary in lightof the potent haz-a,rds ass0ciatad with airport Approach and landing zoanes.: The Division urges that further restrictions be imposed aril that no consideration be given to building :playgrounds and/or. schools in the carport approach zones, or clear zon s. AS indicated. under Mitigation t4easures, paragraph 1.5143(c); tbhe area to be zoned P ---Q which is part .of the "clear zon,�' for the airport should remain as open space and could. be developed into a public' recreational area or a public park. B. 'The; Northeast Chico Area ;Master Plan,,;page 10, last paragraph, Appendix I,, recognizes an;d .addresses the above problem. The dictates of the master plat ` should be followed 'to assure that any development �rithi,n the airport "clear zone" is compatible with airport operations. C- The Butte County planning.
