Issue / Strategy
Update zoning maps to depict overlay districts, safety zones, noise zones, and
imaginary surfaces. Ensure these are featured on the City of Goldsboro and
Wayne County online GIS maps to assist the public with determining if a property
is within one of these zones.
Provide all of the surrounding local, county, regional, and state governments with
an accurate geographic information system (GIS) data layer or geodatabase of
the installation boundaries and military footprints that extend outside the
installation for inclusion on all land use, transportation, park and recreation, public
facilities, and other related planning documents.
For another strategy that addresses this issue see Strategy LU-1A.
LU-3 Need for Enhanced Zoning Regulations Specific to Seymour Johnson AFB Airfield Imaginary Surfaces
Height restrictions for areas surrounding Seymour Johnson AFB are incorporated in City of Goldsboro zoning regulations by reference but there is no explanation of the
imaginary surfaces, heights associated with each, or how they are applied. Though the Wayne County Zoning Regulations include imaginary surfaces, there is a reliance on FAA
Obstruction Evaluations for determining compliance with height requirements which only address structures greater than 199 feet. This may be insufficient for areas in close
proximity to Seymour Johnson AFB.

Amend Zoning Regulations and Procedures for Imaginary Surface Heights
and Slopes
Long-Term
The City of Goldsboro and Wayne County should amend zoning regulations to
explain imaginary surface slopes and heights, how structure heights are assessed
