... 11 Airports and communities should work to understand the differing perspectives associated with land use compatibility challenges near airports. Key challenges such as aircraft noise and obstructions to navigable airspace, among others, present opportunities to better administer land use compatibility, and introduce the possibility for better collaboration.

... 12 Using GIS for Collaborative Land Use Compatibility Planning Near Airports Many airports are already located within continuously urbanized areas. However, expanding development and migration to urban areas present more land use incompatibilities near airports, increasing the likelihood of noise complaints from increased air operations or even operations keeping constant at their current annual volumes.

... 14 Using GIS for Collaborative Land Use Compatibility Planning Near Airports Additional compatible land use impact issue descriptions identified through the on-line survey are: • Fauna that is hazardous to aircraft operations: Wildlife attractants such as retention ponds and waste disposal sites near an airport increase the potential for bird strikes and serve as a threat to human health and safety. Wildlife can be attracted to anything including agricultural activities, architectural features, landscaping (such as water features on golf courses)

... Airport Land Use Compatibility Concerns 17 Administering Land Use Compatibility Broad governance, regulations, and financial considerations at all levels of federal, state, and local government in combination with the specific function and economic impact of an airport create a complex environment for land use compatibility planning.

... Airport Land Use Compatibility Concerns 19 FAA Airport Design Standards FAA regulations pertaining to the physical layout of an airport, particularly safety areas, are defined by FAA AC 150/5300-13, Airport Design. Most design guidelines pertain to aircraft operating areas and facilities located on airport property.
