The City Council hereby finds and determines with regard to the proposed major Master Plan Amendment to the Airport Master Plan that:

2. The proposed adjustments and modifications to the components, sizing and locations of various air carrier, air cargo, general aviation, and support facilities described in Proposed Amended Airport Master Plan Project List set forth in Section 1 would adequately serve demand through 2037.
3. The proposed changes in Section 1 to airfield configurations would improve safety of aircraft operations and conformance with the latest FAA airfield design standards and adequately serve demand through 2037.
Section 3. Approval.
The proposed major Master Plan Amendment to the Airport Master Plan as described in Section 1 above is hereby approved.
