G. To ensure that there are no encroachments upon property used for airport purposes and that the City may have absolute control over the uses to which land in the clear zone is put, the Council determines it is prudent to acquire fee title to the property and such other property as may be necessary to provide an environmental buffer far the airport. H. The land to be acquired by authorization of this ordinance is for runway and clear zone use. The land will provide additional environmental buffering of existing airport property from the encroachment of private development on nearby private property and otherwise protect the public investment in the existing regional airport facilities. J. The timely acquisition of property surrounding the airport allows for the long range design, development and operation of the airport and related economies. Such acquisition minimizes disruption and injury to private property interests while affording a significant public good. Now, therefore, THE CITY ~F EUGENE DIES ORDAIN AS FQLL~WS: Section ~.
