What this outcome means
The FAA studied the proposal and concluded it would not be a hazard to air navigation. A no-hazard determination is not permanent — it carries an expiration date, and if the structure is not built by then the case has to be re-filed.
The proposal, in the filer's words
"The project proposes the construction of a 138’ x 49’ Quick Serve Restaurant with appurtenant drive-thru and parking lot improvements. The proposal includes the construction of a commercial restaurant building utility improvements paving landscaping and a trash enclosure. The permanent structure will be only 20' 4\ high so does not require separate notice filed with the FAA. \n\nThe building will be primarily constructed of wood framing and clad in thin brick and stucco and the trash enclosure will be enclosed by a CMU fence with gates.\n\nThe coordinates of the proposed building corners are:\n\n• N44.8139377 W115.5174254 (northwest corner)\n• N44.8138237 W115.5174152 (southwest corner)\n• N44.8139669 W115.5168967 (northeast corner)\n• N44.8138547 W115.5168825 (southeast corner)""
