Subject: Commercial Site Plan TRC Approval – New Hangars ILM – 2028 & 2032 Gardner Dr
The subject Commercial Site Plan has been approved by the Technical Review Committee (TRC). The
site is approved for the following use defined by the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO):
Airport and Terminal: Establishments providing air traffic control to regulate the flow of air traffic;
establishments that operate international, national, or civil airports or public flying fields; or that
support airport operations (such as rental of hangar spaces, cargo handling services, and passenger
parking lots); and establishments providing specialty air transportation or flying services.
• Specifically, this site plan is for new hangars and office space.
The approved plan consists of two 18,281 sq ft hangars which include 4,521 sq ft total office space
between the two buildings. The site is disturbing approximately 3.5 acres of land located at 2028 and

The approved site plan is attached. This approval is valid for two years unless a building permit
application or evidence of another substantial improvement for all or a portion of the project is
submitted to the County. If the TRC approval expires it will require a new application that will subject
the project to all development standards in effect at the time of the new application.
The TRC Commercial Preliminary Plan Approval allows the project to move forward with the next step
in the development process. The project may be subject to additional regulations of the County’s
development ordinances and applicants are responsible for obtaining all applicable permits and
approvals under any law, regulation, or requirement of any other federal, state, or local government
or regulatory agency. This includes but is not limited to:
