graphically to assist in later steps in the development of the airport master plan. Existing estimates of the land values should also be collected. Environmental data should be gathered. The re- sults of existing aircraft noise exposure studies in the vicinity of the airport should be collected. A descrip- tion should be provided for all recreation and conserva- tion activities as they may relate to land uses which could be potentially incompatible with aeronautical activities. Thus, the location of current and planned public parks, recreation areas, wildlife/waterfowl refuges, and historical monuments should be noted and displayed on the area land use map. Data on the ecology of the area should also be obtained. 14. Existing Areawide Plans. Current plans which show existing and planned land uses, highways, utilities, schools, hospitals, etc., should be obtained from areawide agencies and transportation planning agencies which have jurisdiction over the area the master plan airport is to serve. This information will be used in later steps of the planning process as related to airport site selection, airport access, consideration of alternatives, and to planned community development and land use patterns. 10 15. Laws and Ordinances. Copies of zoning laws, building codes, and other regulations and ordi- nances which may be applicable to the development of an airport master plan should be obtained. Rele- vant State enabling statutes, laws pertaining to emi- nent domain, and interjurisdictional compacts should be researched. 16. Financial Resources. In addition to a his- tory of the nature and extent of airport financing, the kinds of airport development financing available within the area to be served by the master plan airport should be noted. The information will be used in the preparation of the airport's financial plan, as described in Chapters 11 through 13. 17. Socio-Economic Factors. The collection of socio-economic data for the area to be served by the master plan airport is needed to answer basic ques- tions regarding the type and volume of future airport and aviation activity. Statistics and forecasts of population, economic ac- tivity, land uses, alternate means of transportation, etc., assist in determining the future market potential. Methods of developing aviation demand forecasts from socio-economic data are prescribed in Chapter 2 of this advisory circular. •
