Comprehensive Plan
Principal suggested uses include aviation, with airport-related commercial and office development as clearly secondary uses. Land which is currently in use as a construction landfill and mulching operation may continue in its current or a similar use, in a limited manner consistent with State and local permits. Changes in the use of this portion of the site to an activity which is similar or less intense than previous activity may be permitted provided that all local, State, and Federal permits are obtained and that the development of these uses is clearly secondary to the existing and future airport operations. Manufacturing, commercial, or industrial activities beyond the scope of what is described above are not suggested. The timing and intensity of development will be conditioned on the sufficient buffering and screening of adjacent property and the maintenance of an acceptable level of service for roads and other public services.
