(a) One approach to land use management involves the use of existing policies and development guidelines available through a number of different planning processes. For airports, these occur at several levels. The various levels of planning include airport system planning, regional and community comprehensive planning, airport master planning, integrated multi-modal planning, and capital improvement programs. Solutions to the land use issues that arise in communities surrounding airports must be incorporated into the airport and community planning and development process. The City can work closely with the appropriate state agencies to insure optimal airport layout and conformity with various laws and regulations.
(b) Integrating airport planning at the three different levels can aid in the process of developing a compatible land use plan. The airport system plan, regional and community comprehensive plans, and airport master plan can proceed independently, but the value of each is increased when one provides input into the other.
