In Section 27 they claim that an FAA request was behind their action,
and then go on to declare this to be an "emergency" situation (which I
assume allowed for immediate enactment without comment or waiting
periods).

It states: "Because it is important to reduce risks of harm to persons
and property associated with Airport use as soon as possible due to
increasing Airport use in spring and summer, and because the FAA has
requested the Port to enact an ordinance regulating certain Airport
activities, therefore, an emergency is declared to exist. This
Ordinance shall take effect immediately upon passage."

It would be interesting to see exactly what the FAA requested
(assuming such a request exists).

Also, having never been there to see what operations used to be like,
it is hard to tell how limiting these new restrictions are. Were you
doing vehicle tow launches? Were you leaving gliders tied down in
restricted areas for more than 20 minutes as a matter of practice?
How will this change your operations?
