The B‐4 Highway Commercial is conditionally compatible because of the potential location of this zoning district . There are two state highways — State Highways 31 and 82 — in the vicinity of the imaginary surfaces with certain slopes including the transitional surface with a 7:1 slope and the approach‐departure clearance surface with a 50:1 slope . Depending on site elevations at the proposed development , this could represent a vertical obstruction with the imaginary surfaces . While development is unlikely in these areas , it is important to assess and consider in this JLUS .
In addition , the FAR Forest , Agricultural , Recreation zoning district is conditionally compatible because although buildings may not exceed a height of 35 feet , the zoning code allows for uninhabited structures such as towers , spires , domes , and other such structures to exceed this 35 foot height restriction . The zoning code does not stipulate a height restriction for these types of structures in this zoning district ; therefore , this could represent a vertical obstruction depending upon location .
It should be noted the City of Prattville does not incorporate the Maxwell AFB imaginary surfaces in its zoning ordinance .
Findings
• The cities of Montgomery and Prattville do not incorporate the Maxwell AFB imaginary surfaces within their zoning regulations .
• The Montgomery AHA overlay does not provide the information on the slopes or heights for the imaginary surfaces located within the AHA .
• The AHA only applies to a two‐mile area around Maxwell AFB , while the footprint of all the imaginary surfaces can extend outward from the installation in all directions up to 9.5 miles .
• Site elevation is not referenced in the AH Montgomery .
• The City of Prattville ’ s Code of Ordinance compatibility .

Formalized Cell Tower Regulatio
There are no formalized cell tower jurisdictions in the JLUS Study Are process for approval can potential compatibility issues .
There are no formalized cell tower regulations f or Prattville . Towers and antennas associated w can exceed 500 feet in height which can impact the imaginary surfaces , as well as within militar there are no formal regulations for controlling t structures such as a telecommunications tower controls for these types of land uses , which pro security to the general public and aircraft pilots occur . This could result in personal injury , deat private property , delays in mission training activ opportunity for Maxwell AFB to be considered f capabilities in the future .
