Airport Influence Areas

This is a polygon data set of the current Boise Airport influence areas. Influence areas define several zones with unique building standards and land-use restrictions based upon an area’s proximity to the Boise airport and the corresponding increase of sound levels and/or aircraft traffic patterns in these areas. The airport has established requirements with the City of Boise and Ada County to ensure that all new subdivisions or land planning actions within the recognized airport influence areas are reviewed by the airport staff. The intent of the airport influence areas is to address the issue of aircraft noise and compatibility on existing and proposed land uses. The influence areas are a preventive measure against the development of future non-compatible land uses that could encroach upon future operations and development of the Airport.
