5. Military Airport Zones (MAZ): The properties are located within MAZ

Planning & Zoning Commission / Local Planning Agency Regular Meeting · 2026-06-09 · agenda_item

This item concerns Military Airport Zones (MAZ) III in Highlands County. The properties are located within this zone, and development proposals will need to consider sound-level reduction standards to address noise from military training activities. Any real estate transactions in this area must include disclosures about proximity to the military airfield. This matter is currently under review by the Planning & Zoning Commission. The work that could be set in motion includes the development of properties within the MAZ, requiring consideration of sound mitigation strategies and disclosure requirements in all transactions. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in real estate, engineering, and construction may find opportunities by engaging early before specific site plans and permits are finalized.
