IFR approaches to airports with buildings in protected zone
Conway, Arkansas - CWY - has a building in the protected zone and has a GPS
approach from the East. The runway threshold has been displaced
significantly for both VFR and IFR arrivals - the VFR guys just try not to
hit the building and use all the runway. The actual encroachment is
supposedly less than a foot laterally and he built the building before the
city owned the airport and extended the runway.

Please ignore my lack of detailed knowledge of TERPS type stuff but
are there any US airports with GPS approaches where there are
buildings inside the lateral protected zone? Supposedly if an airport
does not meet such criteria there may be a way to get a waiver using
some sort of mitigation...perhaps highers minimums or similar.
Not a waiver, higher minimums.
