§ 8.06. Applicability of Other Laws on Airports.

(a)

Applicability of Federal Laws Relating to Air Traffic. In order to protect and prevent undue burdens upon air commerce, the air-traffic rules promulgated by and under the authority of the laws of the United States shall be deemed a controlling part of this Chapter, whether the aircraft is engaged in a commercial or noncommercial activity, or in foreign, intrastate or interstate navigation or flights, and whether or not the aircraft is registered or is navigating or flying in a civil airway. All laws and regulations pursuant thereto governing air traffic and aircraft operations now or hereafter enacted by congress or promulgated pursuant to its authority are hereby adopted by reference, made a part hereof, and declared applicable to all airports, as fully as if the same were completely set forth herein, and this Chapter shall be deemed to be supplemental and additional thereto and in aid thereof. In the event that any provision of this Chapter or any other ordinance of the City, or any regulations promulgated under any such ordinance shall be repugnant to any such federal law or regulation governing air traffic and aircraft operations, such federal law or regulation shall be controlling. The City and Aviation Authority retains the right, however, to set and require higher or more restrictive criteria unless expressly prohibited from doing so by such federal laws or regulations.

(b)

Ground Traffic Laws and Ordinances. All traffic laws of the State of Florida and all ordinances and regulations of the City applicable in any manner to the public streets generally of the City, or to the use thereof or traffic thereon, shall apply to and be in force with respect to the access roads and parking areas at the airports and to the use thereof and traffic thereon, and any provision now or hereafter contained in the Code of the City of Orlando applicable to public streets within the City shall apply to access roads and parking areas on the airports whether or not such airports are located within the City; and traffic control devices, signs and markings placed upon such access roads and parking areas shall have the same force, effect and application as upon public streets of the City; provided, however, that any ordinance or regulation which by its terms or the necessary intendment of the context thereof, is expressly applicable to one or more access roads or parking areas at one or more airports, and which may be in conflict with or inconsistent with any law, ordinance or regulation applicable to the public streets generally, shall be controlling with respect to such access roads and parking areas; provided further, however, that any law, ordinance, or regulation applicable to the public streets generally which confers upon any person a right to use the public streets of the City shall have no application to the access roads and parking areas of any airport, or portion thereof.

(c)

Applicability of Other Laws. All laws of the United States and the State of Florida, and all ordinances of the City of Orlando, and all rules and regulations promulgated under any of the foregoing are made a part hereof and declared applicable on the property of each airport as fully as if the same were completely set forth herein. Any provision now or hereafter contained in the Code of the City of Orlando, which by its terms is applicable to "the municipal airport" shall be applicable to all airports unless the provisions thereof could only reasonably be applied to the Orlando Executive Airport which was formerly known as Herndon Municipal Airport. In the event that any provision of any such law, ordinance or regulation shall be repugnant to or in conflict with this Chapter or any regulation promulgated hereunder, this Chapter and the regulations promulgated hereunder shall be controlling.
