The airport is at the far edge of the metropolitan area in largely
compatible surroundings. Urban development pressure, however, is increasing.
The study focused on long-range land use planning and regulation to preserve
compatible area. Noise overlay zoning and amendments to special KCI planned
development zoning district were recommended. A second area of emphasis
was the development of noise contours for long-range runway development
alternatives. Land use planning policies were recommended to preserve compatible
land use under the noise contours off the potential future runway.
