Section 2. 1. 2 of the JWA AELUP describes the airport's safety compatibility zones. 1) Per Section 2. 1. 2 of the JWA AELUP, " Safety and compatibility zones depict which land uses are acceptable and which are unacceptable in various portions of airport environs." 2) The purpose of these zones, per the JWA AELUP, is to " support the continued use and operation of an airport by establishing compatibility and safety standards to promote air navigational safety and to reduce potential safety hazards for persons living, working or recreating near JWA." b. The JWA AELUP identifies the following Safety Zones: 1) Zone 1: Runway Protection Zone 2) Zone 2: Inner Approach/ Departure 3) Zone 3: Inner Turning Zone 4) Zone 4: Outer Approach/ Departure Zone 5) Zone 5: Sideline Zone 6) Zone 6: Traffic Pattern Zone c.

Further, AELUP Appendix D states the "Basic Compatibility Qualities" of Zone 0 as "Allow residential uses" and "Allow most nonresidential uses." d.
