Construction Application Process

INTRODUCTION
The Nampa Municipal Airport, in order to impose a common plan of design and construction standards for the mutual benefit of the City of Nampa and present and future lessees of building sites at Nampa Municipal Airport (“Airport”), hereby declares and provides that all building sites and buildings are subject to the following covenants, conditions and restrictions. It shall be understood that all specifications established herein shall be considered minimum standards to be met by all contractors, individuals, and developers interested in the construction of an Aircraft Storage Unit or any building at the Airport.

For the purposes of this document, the Airport shall be the Nampa Municipal Airport and the City of Nampa; the Lessee shall be any individual, group, business, or corporation, which desires to construct a hangar facility at the Airport.

The Lessee agrees to accept the leased premises in its present condition and without expense to the Airport and will maintain any installations thereon. Where submittals are to be approved by the Airport, it is understood that those submittals are to be approved by the Airport Commission and the City of Nampa.

No occupancy of any building shall be permitted before the building is completed and an occupancy permit issued. No building shall be used as a place of residence. No building shall be undertaken without first receiving all applicable building permits.

PURPOSE
The purpose of these Design and Construction Standards is to ensure development of consistent high quality and to protect and enhance the investment of all those locating within the Airport Layout Plan (ALP). These standards provide a basis for directing and evaluating the planning and architectural design of improvements to each lot.

As a general rule, only non-aeronautical use that is incidental to aeronautical use may be
permitted. The current Airport Layout Plan (ALP) designates all airport property as aeronautical use land. In addition, the land was purchased with a combination of Federal Airport Improvement Program (AIP) funds and local funds and therefore must be used for aeronautical use.

GOALS
The following goals form the basis for these design standards:
