"(A) An area designated as the airport environs area is created

contained within the area described as follows:
All property consisting of the area described in the Air
Installation Compatible Use Zone pursuant to DODINST

applicable to runways 3L-21R (11,000 feet) and the
proposed parallel runways 3R-21L (8,500 feet) including
the CLEAR ZONES, ACCIDENT POTENTIAL ZONE

Specifically, the environs includes all property 1,000
feet to each side of the runway centerlines and in a
corridor 3,000 feet (1,500 feet either side of the runway
centerlines) wide, extending from the runway thresholds
along the extended runway centerlines for a distance of

SECTION 2. Section 55-11-230(B)(4) of the 1976 Code, as added by
Act 100 of 1995, is amended to read:
"(4) By January 31, 1996, the Airport Environs Planning
Commission shall develop a uniform land use plan and uniform building
performance standards for the airport environs area, submit them for
review and comment to the governing body of each political subdivision
represented on the Airport Environs Planning Commission, as well as the
South Carolina Department of Commerce and the Federal Aviation
Administration, conduct public hearings pursuant to Article 3, Chapter
29, Title 6, on the proposed uniform plan and standards. After receiving
comments and conducting hearings, the Airport Environs Planning
Commission shall adopt a land use plan and building performance
standards to be effective throughout the airport environs area and
enforced fully and without amendment by each political
subdivision represented on the Airport Environs Planning Commission.
The Airport Environs Planning Commission, by majority of all voting
members, may extend the January 31, 1996, deadline for a reasonable
period of time not to exceed beyond March 31, 1996, for the completion
of these tasks. Each political subdivision shall enforce the uniform plan
and standards as an `overlay zone', identifying areas subject to regulation
which are supplementary to the existing regulations of that political
subdivision, or as new or superseding provisions to that political
subdivision's ordinances. If there is a conflict between the provisions
adopted by the Airport Environs Planning Commission under this section
or regulations of a political subdivision applicable to the airport environs
area, then the provisions adopted by the Airport Environs Planning
Commission under this section shall govern. If a uniform land use plan
or uniform building performance standards are not developed by the
Airport Environs Planning Commission in the manner provided in this
section, any of the entities represented on the Airport Environs Planning
Commission may file an action for relief, including mandamus or
injunctive relief, in the circuit court for Greenville or Spartanburg
County, to require adoption of the plan or standards, or both, as directed
by this section. Such an action must be brought within sixty days of the
deadline as set forth above."
