1/31/79 AC 150/5900-1B • • • 6: TIMING RELATIONSRIP OF SYSTEM PLANS AND MASTER PLANS FOR LARGE OR MEDIUM AIR TRAFFIC HUBS. In order to assure consistency between system planning and master planning, a project for master planning will usually. be approved for a new airport serving a large or medium air traffic hub only if there is in existence an appropriate system plan identifying the need for the airport. However, a master planning grant for an airport serving a large or medium hub may be approved in the absence of an existing system plan if the absence of a system plan is due to failure of the responsible agency to proceed with its development, or an existing system plan is not acceptable. 7. DESIGN. ART, AND ARCHITECTURE. Conceptual consideration should be given to design, art, and architecture in the master planning process. Areas where this typically is appropriate include the siting of the airport, any major construction or expansion projects, the access road, and the terminal area plan. Emphasis should be placed on design concepts which complement and support the establishment of functional, efficient, and safe airport facilities while at the same time reflecting local, cultural, and architec- tural heritage values. Documentation of the consideration given (or to be given) to this subject in project planning and development should be included in all environmental impact assessment reports. 8.-19. RESERVED.
