The airport environs overlay is the geographic area affected by the airport and defined on the basis of factors including, but not limited to, aircraft noise, aircraft flight patterns, airport safety zones, local circulation patterns and area development plans. The purpose of the Airport Environs Overlay is to promote land uses which are compatible with the impacts of aircraft utilizing the Skagit Regional Airport and within the airport’s Airport Environs Overlay.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin:0 0 11 0;'&gt;&lt;span&gt;14.16.210 Airport Environs Overlay (AEO)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin:0 0 11 0;'&gt;&lt;span&gt;(i) The airport environs is that geographic area affected by the airport and defined based on factors including, but not limited to, aircraft noise, aircraft flight patterns, local circulation patterns, and area development plans, and is based on the WSDOT 2011 Airport and Compatible Land-Use Program Guidebook’s airport compatibility zones.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin:0 0 11 0;'&gt;&lt;span&gt;(ii) The boundaries of the Airport Environs Overlay (“AEO”) zone and the six Airport Compatibility Zones (“ACZ”) are depicted on the adopted Skagit County Airport Environs Overlay map available at Skagit County Planning and Development Services and on the County website.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin:0 0 11 0;'&gt;&lt;span&gt;Skagit Regional Airport is an essential public facility as designated in the Skagit County Comprehensive Plan, provides an important transportation service to the region, and is a vital asset to facilitate economic growth in the County.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin:0 0 11 0;'&gt;&lt;span&gt;(ii) Skagit Regional Airport has been operated for general aviation and commercial purposes by local municipal governments since the 1950s when it was acquired from the federal government. The Port of Skagit has owned and operated the airport since 1965 and asserts that it has obtained avigation easements by prescription over property surrounding the Skagit Regional Airport.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin:0 0 11 0;'&gt;&lt;span&gt;(iii) State law requires the County to protect public use airports from incompatible land uses through comprehensive planning and development regulations (RCW 36.70.547 and 36.70A.510).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin:0 0 11 0;'&gt;&lt;span&gt;(iv) In 1999, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), Aviation Division, adopted guidelines that provided technical information and policy recommendations regarding airport land use compatibility. Skagit County used that document, together with information from the California State Department of Transportation Airport Land Use Planning Handbook (1993), and information specific to the Skagit Regional Airport, to prepare the Skagit Regional Airport Land Use Compatibility Study (May 2000) that was the basis for the first version of this Airport Environs Overlay code. In 2011, WSDOT issued an updated Airports and Compatible Land Use Guidebook. The 2011 guidance recommends additional compatibility criteria within six Compatibility Zones surrounding the airport.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin:0 0 11 0;'&gt;&lt;span&gt;(v) Where airport operations exist side-by-side with other development, or where low-flying air traffic overflies other development, airport operations are frequently the subject of nuisance complaints. As a result, some airports have been forced to cease or curtail operations. As an essential public facility, reduction or curtailment of service at Skagit Regional Airport is contrary to the public interest and the requirements of the Growth Management Act.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin:0 0 11 0;'&gt;&lt;span style='font-weight:bold;'&gt;&lt;span&gt;Update Cycle:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; As Needed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin:0 0 0 0;'&gt;&lt;span style='font-weight:bold;'&gt;&lt;span&gt;Accuracy:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; +-10' (average)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p style='margin:0 0 0 0;'&gt;&lt;span style='font-weight:bold;'&gt;&lt;span&gt;Layer Compatibility:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; N/A&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p style='font-weight:bold;margin:0 0 0 0;'&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Contact Information:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin:0 0 0 0;'&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;For more information about this data, please contact the Skagit County GIS Department:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin:0 0 0 0;'&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;1800 Continental Place&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin:0 0 0 0;'&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Mount Vernon, WA 98273&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin:0 0 0 0;'&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;(360) 416-1168&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin:0 0 0 0;'&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;email: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href='mailto:gis@co.skagit.wa.us' style='text-decoration:underline;'&gt;&lt;span style='text-decoration:underline;'&gt;&lt;span&gt;gis@co.skagit.wa.us&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p style='font-weight:bold;margin:0 0 0 0;'&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Problems?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin:0 0 0 0;'&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Please report any data issues to Skagit County Geographic Information Services:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin:0 0 0 0;'&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;1800 Continental Place&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin:0 0 0 0;'&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Mount Vernon, WA 98273&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin:0 0 0 0;'&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;(360) 416-1168&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin:0 0 0 0;'&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;email: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href='mailto:gis@co.skagit.wa.us' style='text-decoration:underline;'&gt;&lt;span style='text-decoration:underline;'&gt;&lt;span&gt;gis@co.skagit.wa.us&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p style='margin:0 0 0 0;'&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p style='margin:0 0 0 0;'&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.skagitcounty.net/Departments/Home' style='text-decoration:underline;'&gt;&lt;span style='text-decoration:underline;'&gt;&lt;span&gt;Skagit County&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin:0 0 0 0;'&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.skagitcounty.net/Departments/Home/draftTermsandConditions.htm' style='text-decoration:underline;'&gt;&lt;span style='text-decoration:underline;'&gt;&lt;span&gt;Skagit County Terms and Use&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</idAbs>

The relative positioning of map and data features to one another results from combining different sources without ground truthing.
