               It is the intent of the regulations which follow to limit land in airport districts
               to uses other than residential or places of public assembly, such as schools, churches,
               hospital, theaters, stadiums, etc.; to confine, to the extent possible, land in these
               districts to industrial, commercial, agricultural, or recreational uses which are
               not subject to high population concentrations. It is the further intent of these regulations
               to protect the public from annoyance by aircraft noise; from danger of falling aircraft;
               and to avoid impediment to the continued growth of civil aeronautics and air commerce
               at the Halifax-Northampton Regional Airport which may accrue from encroachment of
               populous, urban-type land development.
