The city council finds that:
A. Aircraft transportation of all kinds is rapidly accelerating and expanding in all its fields and requires and will require increasingly larger areas for landing facilities, terminal facilities, warehouse facilities, hangar and other facilities to accommodate such transportation;
B. Salt Lake City International Airport and Airport II are situated in the center of the great intermountain west, and as such will attract and serve an ever expanding aircraft transportation system and efforts are being made to increase the number of airlines using said airports;
C. In order to meet the needs of the aircraft industry using such airports, it is necessary that immediate steps be taken to enlarge the airports and their facilities;
D. It is necessary that the city make plans for the enlargement of the airports to provide the necessary accommodations and to protect the air space needed therefor;
E. It is further necessary to adopt a master plan which will define and fix the exterior boundaries of the area necessary for the orderly and convenient expansion of such airport facilities in order to keep abreast of the needs and requirements of the air transportation industry which the airports should and will serve.
