Chapter 5. Part 107 Subpart B, Operating Limitations for Small Unmanned Aircraft
This is
probably not for most of us, as recreational flyers...
5.8 Controlled Airspace - ..."Those planning sUAS operations in controlled airspace are encouraged to contact the FAA as early as possible."
This however is likely to apply to us as recreational flyers...
5.8.1 Small UA Operations Near an Airport—Notification and Permissions. -
"Unless the flight is conducted within controlled airspace, no notification or authorization is necessary to operate at or near an airport. When operating in the vicinity of an airport, the remote PIC must be aware of all traffic patterns and approach corridors to runways and landing areas.
The remote PIC must avoid operating anywhere that the presence of the sUAS may interfere with operations at the airport, such as approach corridors, taxiways, runways, or helipads. Further more, the remote PIC must yield right-of-way to all other aircraft, including aircraft operating on the surface of the airport."

The question that seems to be confusing is,
Is it any and ALL (airports, helipads, balloon launch) sights that you can't fly within 5 miles? or actually those within Controlled Airspace?
The above answers that question.
Recreational operators are required to give notice for flights
within five miles of an airport to BOTH the airport operator and air traffic control tower, if the airport has a tower.
However, recreational operations are not permitted in Class B airspace
around most major airports without specific air traffic permission and"
coordination.
