3 OK Stat § 3-102 (2021)
2021 Oklahoma Statutes|Title 3. Aircraft and Airports.|§3-102. Airport hazards contrary to public interest.

|It is hereby found that an airport hazard endangers the lives and property of users of the airport and of occupants of land in its vicinity, and also, if of the obstruction type, in effect reduces the size of the area available for the landing, taking off and maneuvering of aircraft, thus tending to destroy or impair the utility of the airport and the public investment therein. |Accordingly, it is hereby declared: (a) that the creation or establishment of an airport hazard is a public nuisance and an injury to the community served by the airport in question; (b) that it is therefore necessary in the interest of the public health, public safety, and general welfare that the creation or establishment of airport hazards be prevented. It is further declared that both the prevention of the creation or establishment of airport hazards and the elimination, removal, alteration, mitigation, or marking and lighting of existing airport hazards are public purposes for which political subdivisions and the Commission may raise and expend public funds and acquire land or property interests therein.Laws 1945, p. 9, § 2; Amended by Laws 1986, c. 20, § 1, eff.

2021 Oklahoma Statutes|Title 3. Aircraft and Airports.|§3-106. Airport zoning requirements.

|(1) Reasonableness. All airport zoning regulations adopted under this act shall be reasonable and none shall impose any requirement or restriction which is not reasonably necessary to effectuate the purposes of this act. In determining what regulations it may adopt, each political subdivision and Joint Airport Zoning Board shall consider, among other things, the character of the flying operations expected to be conducted at the airport, the nature of the terrain within the airport hazard area, the character of the neighborhood, and the uses to which the property to be zoned is put and adaptable. |(2) Nonconforming Uses. No airport zoning regulations adopted under this act shall require the removal, lowering, or other change or alteration of any structure or tree not conforming to the regulations when adopted or amended, or otherwise interfere with the continuance of any nonconforming use, except as provided in Section 7(3).Laws 1945, p. 11, § 6.
3 OK Stat § 3-107 (2021)
2021 Oklahoma Statutes|Title 3. Aircraft and Airports.|§3-107. Permits and variances.

|(1) Permits. Any airport zoning regulations adopted under this act may require that a permit be obtained before any new structure or use may be constructed or established and before any existing use or structure may be substantially changed or substantially altered or repaired. In any event, however, all such regulations shall provide that before any nonconforming structure or tree may be replaced, substantially altered or repaired, rebuilt, allowed to grow higher, or replanted, a permit must be secured from the administrative agency authorized to administer and enforce the regulations, authorizing such replacement, change or repair. No permit shall be required to make maintenance repairs to or to replace parts of existing structures which do not enlarge or increase the height of such existing structures. No permit shall be granted that would allow the establishment or creation of an airport hazard or permit a nonconforming structure or tree or nonconforming use to be made or become higher or become a greater hazard to air navigation than it was when the applicable regulation was adopted or than it is when the application for a permit is made. Except as provided herein, all applications for permits shall be granted. |(2) Variances. Any person desiring to erect any structure, or increase the height of any structure, or permit the growth of any tree, or otherwise use property in violation of airport zoning regulations adopted under this act, may apply to the Board of Adjustment for a variance from the zoning regulations in question. Such variances shall be allowed where a literal application or enforcement of the regulations would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship and the relief granted would not be contrary to the public interest but do substantial justice and be in accordance with the spirit of the regulations and this act. However, any variance may be allowed subject to any reasonable conditions that the Board of Adjustment may deem necessary to effectuate the purpose of this act.(3) Hazard Marking and Lighting. In granting any permit or variance under this section, the administrative agency or Board of Adjustment may, if it deems such action advisable to effectuate the purpose of this act and reasonable in the circumstances, so condition the permit or variance as to require the owner of the structure or tree in question, at the owner's expense, to install, operate, and maintain thereon such markers and lights as may be necessary to indicate to flyers the presence of an airport hazard.(4) Copies of any request for a permit or variance shall be forwarded by the political subdivision or Joint Airport Zoning Board to the Commission within five (5) days of filing.Added by Laws 1945, p. 11, § 7.

In such cases proceedings shall not be stayed otherwise than by order of the Board on notice to the agency from which the appeal is taken and on due cause shown.(4) The Board shall fix a reasonable time for the hearing of appeals, give public notice and due notice to the parties in interest including the Commission, and decide the same within a reasonable time. Upon the hearing any party may appear in person or by agent or by attorney.(5) The Board may, in conformity with the provisions of this act, reverse or affirm wholly or partly, or modify, the order, requirement, decision, or determination appealed from and may make such order, requirement, decision or determination as ought to be made, and to that end shall have all the powers of the administrative agency from which the appeal is taken.Laws 1945, p. 12, § 8; Amended by Laws 1986, c. 20, § 8, eff.

Such petition shall be presented to the court within thirty (30) days after the decision is filed in the office of the Board. |(2) Upon presentation of such petition, the court may review such decision of the Board. The allowance of an appeal shall not stay proceedings upon the decision appealed from, but the court may, on application, and with notice to the Board and on due cause shown, grant a restraining order.(3) The Board of Adjustment shall not be required to return the original papers acted upon by it, but it shall be sufficient to return certified or sworn copies thereof or of such portions thereof as may be called for by the court. The return shall concisely set forth such other facts as may be pertinent and material to show the grounds of the decision appealed from and shall be verified.(4) The court shall have exclusive jurisdiction to affirm, modify, or set aside the decision brought up for review, in whole or in part, and if need be, to order further proceedings by the Board of Adjustment. The findings of fact of the Board, if supported by substantial evidence, shall be accepted by the court as conclusive, and no objection to a decision of the Board shall be considered by the court unless such objection shall have been urged before the Board, or, if it was not so urged, unless there were reasonable ground for failure to do so.(5) Costs shall not be allowed against the Board of Adjustment unless it appears to the court that it acted with gross negligence, in bad faith, or with malice, in making the decision appealed from.(6) In any case in which airport zoning regulations adopted under this act, although generally reasonable, are held by a court to interfere with the use or enjoyment of a particular structure or parcel of land to such an extent, or to be so onerous in their application to such a structure or parcel of land, as to constitute a taking or deprivation of that property in violation of the Constitution of this state or the Constitution of the United States, such holding shall not affect the application of such regulations to other structures and parcels of land.Laws 1945, p. 13, § 11; Amended by Laws 1986, c. 20, § 11, eff.
