other kinds of land use with the exception of green space or recreational land use. As will be seen in the planned use alternatives, there are areas where it would be appropriate or ac:x:ept:able to introduce green space or a landscape preserve to enhance the airport's image. By contemporary standards for general aviation airports, San Marcos Municipal Airport is quite large, with approximately l,300 acres avai] ~hle for airport and related develqxnents. However, because of the local business and economic characteristics at San Marcos, it does not ~'F' feasible to CCI1Side.r the airport as a prime candidate for very large industrial clients (such as steel mills or major manufacturing facilities). In fact, it may be undesirable to place the airport in competition with private enterprise; the airport, through its industrial and/or business park resources, should OCIIIplement local industry and enhance the local OOsiness environment, 80 as to make the entire San Marcos area more attractive to outside tosiness and industrial interests. Finally, an established kind of compatible development for airPOrt properties is the business park. This term is used to describe a business environment that consists of light manufacturing or industrial activities in oanbination with offices and certain kinds of OCiIIUUercial tosinesses. For example, taxiways have been shown leading into certain industrial areas that could be develoPed as office or business cadominiums that would include hangars or aircraft parking areas adjacent to the place of business. This is becoming an increaBi.nqly popIl11~'F' ooncept and is being developed as condominiums at sane locatia1s. In the 1983 Master Plan, four land use alternatives were developed, each representing a different scenario for airport operation. Land use alternative wAw was a scenario that assumed all four existing runways remain in operatiOOJ land use alternative "BW assumed Runway 04-22 was decal\missicmedJ and land use alternative "eW assumed that Runway 08-26 was closed. Scenario "DW was similar to "An but i.ncar:porated 2l acres of Job COrps land. Scenario "D" was selected by the Airport Commission and the City Staff as the preferred alternativeJ however, the required additional land area transfer from the Job Corps has been expanded, as of this update, to 37 acres due to the increase in forecast aviation demand identified in this Master Plan Update. 5.l3
