Land Use Compatibility Guidebook

The 2003 updates to the Oregon Department of Aviation's Airport Land Use Compatibility Guidebook were approved by the State Aviation Board in January 2003. It serves as a primer on airports and compatible land uses and is a critical first step in providing understanding and information in the developing area of land use compatibility in the airport environs. You may download this resource in its entirety or merely target the chapter you need, or you may request the guidebook in its entirety from the agency.
