-.~. ~ ~ <br />. ''~ <br />. <br />Element 5: Facility Requirements <br />Description: The facility requirements step includes identification of Airport <br />facility needs in numerous areas. Needed facilities will be identified <br />through the invenfory of existing facilities, capacity analyses, and <br />forecasts of demand. `Anticipated timing of required improvements <br />will also .be identified. <br />Methodology: Utilizing current FAA ~la~nning criteria, facility needs will be <br />~ determined based on pro~ected future activity and Airport role. A <br />criticai aircraft will be identified to establish the appropriate Design <br />Group for. planning future facilities at the Airport. Facility <br />requirements will be identified based on analysis of current' Airport <br />capacity, including: airside and landside facilities and ground access <br />systems. <br />Faciliry recommendations from current studies wi11 be reviewed as <br />appiopriate. Information obtained from the inventory will be used <br />to identify a~rcraft storage needs and deveTopment potential. <br />. Facilities to tie analyzed include: <br />. Runways (number, orientation, strength, and lengtH) <br />. Taxiways <br />. Helicopter landing pad ~ <br />. Aircraft apron and ram~ areas <br />. Terminal area (including spacing for items such as gift shops <br />and restaurants) . ~ <br />. Air; cargo <br />. Service and hangar areas ~ <br />Auto parkin~ <br />. Support .facilities such as mainteriarice, fuel farms, commercial <br />areas, and CFR stations <br />. Lighting and NAUAIDs <br />. FBO, corporate, and general aviation facilities (inctuding flight <br />schools). ~ ~ <br />. Access facilities - <br />. . Rental car areas <br />Future requirements will proyide the basis for evaluating alternative <br />development actions that might be adopted to satisfy the need for <br />improved facilities. <br />Output: The second Master Plan working paper will include documentation of <br />facility- needs as identified from forecast. demand levels. While the <br />timing of development needs will be generally tied to the three <br />master planning phases; they .will more specifically be tied to <br />demand levels which will trigger the need to implement certain <br />facility-related development projects. <br />-12- <br />
