including the Federal Aviation Administration – to achieve a reasonable level of public safety while facilitating compatible community development. In some cases, Joint Airport Zoning Boards (JAZB) – made up of representatives from the MAC and the cities, counties and townships around airports – work together to develop appropriate zoning ordinances.
