Determination of no hazardDetermined - No Hazard29 ft AGL

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’s primary objective is to construct a new administration and warehouse building with an associated parking lot a paved drive track and extensions of utility infrastructure. The exterior will be primarily composed of prefinished aluminum metal wall panels with exposed fasteners. The TXST ALERRT Center is located on the northeast side of the San Marcos Regional Airport in San Marcos Texas approximately 2 500 feet southeast of the intersection of William Pettus Road and State Highway 21. The improvements will primarily occur on the northwest portion of the property nearest to Highway 21. The proposed administration/warehouse building will have an approximate footprint of 22 000 square feet with the warehouse component accounting for roughly 15 400 square feet of the total."

Screening a structure of your own?

Check Part 77 and the tower's line of sight before you file

LOS Analyzer screens a proposed structure against FAA Part 77 surfaces and the control tower's sightline to the runway, terrain-aware, in minutes. It is a preliminary screening — not an FAA determination and not a substitute for a licensed engineering review.
