ON-AIRPORT LAND USE PLAN The objective of the On-Airport Land Use Plan is to coordinate uses of the airport property in a manner compatible with the functional design of the airport facility. Airport land use planning is important for the orderly development and efficient use of available space. There are two primary considerations for airport land use planning: first, to secure those areas essential to the safe and efficient operation of the airport; and, second, to determine compatible land uses for the balance of the property which would b~ most advantageous to the airport and community. The plan depicts the recommendations for ultimate land use development on the airport. When development is proposed it should be directed to the appropriate land use area depicted on this plan. PROPERTY MAP The Property Map provides information on the acquisition and identification of all land tracts under the control of the airport. 5-10 SUMMARY The recommended master plan concept has been developed in conjunction with the Planning Advisory Committee (PAC), the City of San Marcos, and the local citizens and is designed to assist the city, and the aviation department, in making decisions on future development and growth of the San Marcos Municipal Airport. This plan provides the necessary development to accommodate and satisfy the anticipated growth over the next twenty years, and beyond. Flexibility will be very important to future development at the airport. Activity projected over the next twenty years may not occur as predicted. The plan has attempted to consider demands that may be placed on the airport even beyond the twenty year planning horizon to ensure that the facility will be capable of handling a wide range of circumstances. The recommended plan provides the city with a general guide that iffollowed can maintain the airport's long term viability and allow the airport to continue to provide air transportation services to the region.
