The following goals and policies support Seymour Johnson AFB:
Goal 3: Vigorously support and preserve Seymour Johnson Air
Force Base.
I.9 The City of Goldsboro will discourage commercial
development which interferes with safe adequate access to
Seymour Johnson Air Force Base.
I.47 The City and County will consider prohibiting the
development of conflicting incompatible land uses in the vicinity
of Seymour Johnson AFB.
The zoning ordinance includes compatible land uses within the AICUZ areas
including the CZ, APZ I and II, Noise Zones, and Height and Obstruction
criteria for the Overlay Districts. Before any new tower development can be
approved, proposed new tower applications are required to be submitted to
Seymour Johnson AFB for review.
All major subdivision plats within the City of Goldsboro are approved by the
Planning Commission and City Council. Once the application is received in
the office, in accordance with House Bill 254, staff prepares a memo that is
transmitted to Seymour Johnson AFB for their review and comment. Staff
also reviews the submitted subdivision request to ensure that it complies
with requirements of the Noise Overlay District.
Relating to Goal 3, the City of Goldsboro states that the city is responsible
for notifying Seymour Johnson AFB Commander and Civil Engineer on
proposed rezoning requests. Additionally, the city is to consider all potential
impacts with Seymour Johnson AFB before approving a proposed rezone
request. Unified Development Ordinance
Under Section 5.2.7, Special Seymour Johnson Air Force Base and
Goldsboro‐Wayne Municipal Airport Height Regulations and Limitations, no
structure shall exceed the applicable height limitations established by the
Seymour Johnson Air Force Base 2011 AICUZ Report.
Zoning Ordinance, Chapter 5
The City of Goldsboro Zoning Ordinance recognizes Seymour Johnson AFB
under Section 5.2.7 stating: The Noise Overlay District provides for compatible development of land in
areas subject to increased aircraft noise exposure and accident potential
due to aircraft operations surrounding Seymour Johnson AFB. Notification is
required on plats and site plans to all present and future owners that
property within this district is exposed to aircraft noise potentially in excess
of 65 DNL. The district is divided into four sub‐districts corresponding to the
65‐69 DNL, 70‐ 74 DNL, 75‐79 DNL, 80‐84 DNL and 85+ DNL noise contours.
A land use compatibility table, following the 2011 AICUZ, provides uses that
are permitted and not permitted in the Noise Overlay District.
No structure shall exceed the applicable height limitations
established by the Seymour Johnson Air Force Base “Air
Installation Compatibility Use Zone” (AICUZ) Study. The Air
Force AICUZ height restrictions are based on those contained in
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Regulation Part 77, and
are documented in the U.S. Department of Defense document
“Unified Facility Criteria 3‐260‐01, Airfield and Heliport Planning
and Design" or the applicable height limitations of the
Goldsboro‐Wayne Municipal Airport Layout Plan Report on file
at the City of Goldsboro Planning and Community Development
Department.
The Accident Potential Zone (APZ) District limits development in areas that
have significant potential for aircraft mishaps. The APZ is divided into three
sub districts corresponding to the clear zone, APZ‐I and APZ‐II as defined by
the 2011 AICUZ. The provisions of the APZ apply to any application for a
building permit, certificate of occupancy, zoning, special use permit,
conditional use permit, zoning compliance certificate, vested rights
