ACTION
Scottsdale Airport Ordinance Update: Adopt Scottsdale Ordinance No. 4722, amending Section 5-
121 of the Scottsdale Revised Code Section to clarify circumstances in which the Aviation Director
may, with not less than thirty (30) days' notice, discontinue an Airport permit when continued use
of City-owned Airport property is no longer consistent with the public interest.
BACKGROUND
Chapter 5 of the Scottsdale Revised Code governs the use of City-ovvned Airport property through
leases, licenses, permits and similar agreements. Current provisions do not expressly address
certain operational situations in which continued use of Airport property may no longer serve the
public interest or is otherwise inconsistent with the Airport's operational or developmental needs.
Ordinance No. 4722 clarifies that, in addition to the existing provisions, the Aviation Director may
provide not less than thirty (30) days' notice to a permittee that a permit will be discontinued when
continued use is no longer consistent with the public interest. This clarification supports orderly,
safe, and consistent administration of Airport operations.
ANALYSIS & ASSESSMENT
Policy Implications
The amendment provides clarification regarding circumstances in which an Airport permit may be
discontinued when continued use of the property is inconsistent with the public interest or the
Airport's operational or developmental needs. This clarification enhances transparency and
supports effective operational management of City-owned Airport property.
RESOURCE IMPACTS
Staffing, Workload Impact
No additional staffing is required to implement the ordinance.
