VO‐5 Height Regulations Do Not Consider Imaginary Surfaces
Current Montgomery and Prattville height regulations do not consider the Federal Aviation Administration’s height guidance relative to imaginary
surfaces.
VO‐5A MCA‐5
Develop a 3‐Dimensional Imaginary Surfaces
Model
The City of Montgomery should work with the
jurisdictions and agencies to develop a 3D model of
existing height regulations compared to allowable
heights based on the FAA and DOD Imaginary
Surfaces Guidance. This tool will assist the
jurisdictions in amending their zoning ordinances
further to enhance military compatibility as well as
be used to evaluate development applications and
economic development opportunities to determine
if the heights of proposed structures do not
obstruct the navigable airspace.
