(620 ILCS 5/48) (from Ch. 15 1/2, par. 22.48)
Sec. 48.
Standards for issuing certificates of approval.
In determining whether it shall issue a certificate of approval for any
airport or restricted landing area, or any alteration or extension thereof,
the Department shall take into consideration its proposed location, size
and layout, the relationship of the proposed airport or restricted landing
area to the then current national airport plan, the then current Federal
airways system, the then current State airport plan, and the then current
State airways system, whether there are safe areas available for expansion
purposes, whether the adjoining area is free from obstructions based on a
proper glide ratio, the nature of the terrain, the nature of the uses to
which the proposed airport or restricted landing area will be put, the
possibilities for future development, and such other factors as, under the
circumstances, it regards as having an important bearing thereon.
