HOUSTON AIRPORT SYSTEM’S IMPACT
The three combined assets of Bush Intercontinental, Hobby and Ellington contribute more than $24 billion to Houston’s economy annually.
More than 387,000 metric tons of air cargo and 52 million passengers were served by the Houston Airport System in 2007.
4th-largest multi-airport system in the U.S. and the 6th-largest in the world.
$3.6 billion invested through CIP since 1986 and $2.3 billion in projects planned through CIP.

LEGISLATIVE REVIEW
Amended Chapter 211 and 241 of the Local Government Code in 2007 - Clarified no zoning referendum needed to adopt airport land use regulations.
Reviewed measures adopted by other airports.
Same statute (in place more than 50 years) that allows the City to enact height hazard restrictions allows us to adopt compatible land use restrictions.

LAND USE CONCERNS IN AIRPORT PROXIMITY
At IAH Bush, new residential development encroaches on key runway noise zones.
Recent Cases:
• Greens Glen. This proposed subdivision will be located on centerline of a future runway, partly within the runway protection zone and mostly within the runway’s future DNL (noise) 65 contour and Tier 1.
• Northport Park – This proposed subdivision will be partially located in Tier 2.
AIRPORT COMPATIBLE LAND USE STUDY 7
CREATION OF 3 TIERS
Tier 1 – Primarily based on future noise contours, including 65 DNL extended to property line boundaries
Tier 2 – Followed natural boundaries (i.e. streets, bayous, etc.)
Tier 3 – Predefined by state law (3 x 5 mile box)
