Land use and development within the boundaries of Oscoda-Wurtsmith Airport are regulated in accordance with an Airport Zoning Ordinance that has been prepared and adopted pursuant to authorities granted by the Michigan Airport Zoning Act (Act 23 of 1950 Ex. Sess). This authority also extends outside the airport to include height restrictions and air safety lighting requirements for structures located on lands underlying Airport Approach Protection Areas and Aircraft Hazard Areas. While Oscoda-Wurtsmith Airport is located within Iosco County, the Aircraft Hazard Area extends into the boundaries of Alcona County. As such, the Airport Joint Zoning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals include representation from both Alcona and Iosco counties.
