TOWN OF MARANA
STUDY SESSION
MEETING DATE: September 19,2006
AGENDA ITEM: D. 1
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Charles E. Mangum, Airport Director
AGENDA TITLE: Presentation relating to the Marana Regional Airport; Airport
Master Plan Update.
DISCUSSION
Background
In 2006, the Town of Marana completed an Airport Master Plan Update for the Marana Regional
Airport. The Airport Master Plan provides a 20-year long-range strategic forecast of future
aviation demands on the community and the airport facilities and infrastructure needed to
support the aviation requirements. The ultimate goal of the master plan is to provide systematic
guidelines for the airport's overall development and operation.
An important part of the master planning process was public involvement. A Planning Advisory
Committee (PAC), made up of technical and aviation professionals as well as local community
representatives, met several times and reviewed and commented on all of the work as it
progressed. There were three public information workshops for interested individuals to offer
comments and learn about the study. In addition, all of the working documents were published
on the internet where interested individuals could review the study and make comments as the
study progressed.
Forecast
Assessing the potential demand for aviation services and facilities is an important part of the
planning process. The primary indicators of aviation demand are the number of based aircraft,
and the number of takeoffs and landings (operations).
A summary of the aviation activity forecasts for the airport is presented below.

Recommended Development Program
The recommended development program is a demand-based program, rather than a time- based
program, which means facilities will be developed when needed and not according to a calendar
schedule. This provides airport management with the flexibility to change the priority of specific
development projects in order to meet existing needs and produces a cost-efficient scheduling of
capital improvements.
The Marana Regional Airport is located in a region expected to experience strong socioeconomic
growth. Most of this growth will result from residents and businesses of the Tucson
metropolitan area moving closer to Marana.
With two runways, the longest measuring 6,901 feet, the airport currently operates as a general
aviation reliever airport. To better serve the existing and projected corporate aircraft and flight
training activity, the plan identifies the ultimate layout of Runway 12L-30R to be 7,200 feet, and
extending Runway 3-21 from 3,893 feet to the ultimate length of 4,700. In order to
accommodate the forecasted demand, a parallel runway will be required to increase the airport's
capacity. Parallel Runway 12R-30L is also planned to have a length of 4,700 feet and to be used
for training and small aircraft operations.
The development of additional aircraft storage hangars, parking apron, fueling facilities, general
aviation terminal, airport traffic control tower, and other aviation services at the airport will
provide an alternative location for aircraft owners in Pima County, especially those living in
northwest Tucson metropolitan area, to base their aircraft.

Development Funding
Detailed costs were prepared for each development item included in the program. Complete
implementation of the. plan will require a total financial commitment of approximately $74.5
million over the long-term. Nearly 90-97~ percent of the recommended program funding could
be funded through state or federal grant-in-aid programs.
The source for federal grants is through the Airport Improvement Program (AlP). This program
is administered by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and has been established to
maintain the integrity of the air transportation system. The AlP program is funded from the
Aviation Trust Fund which is the depository for federal aviation taxes such as those from airline
tickets, aviation fuel, aircraft registrations, and other aviation-related fees. Federal AlP funding
of up to 95 percent can be received from the FAA for eligible projects.
The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) also provides a separate state funding
mechanism which receives an annual funding appropriation from the collection of statewide
aviation-related taxes. Eligible projects can receive up to 90 percent funding from ADOT for
non-federally funded projects. In addition, one-half or 2.5 percent ofthe local share required for
federal AlP funding is eligible for grant funding through ADOT.
The following table depicts the breakdown of federal, state, and local funding for the
implementation of the Master Plan.

Plan Development and Implementation
With the airport master plan completed, the most important challenge is implementation. The
cost of developing and maintaining aviation facilities is a substantial investment which yields
impressive benefits for the community. This plan and associated development program provides
the tools airport management will require to meet the challenges of the future. By providing a
safe and efficient facility, the Marana Regional Airport will continue to be a valuable asset to the
Town of Marana and the surrounding community.

TOWN OF MARANA
STUDY SESSION
September 19,2006
AGENDA ITEM: D.2
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Charles E. Mangum, Airport Director
AGENDA TITLE: Presentation relating to the Marana Regional Airport; Noise
Compatibility Study.
DISCUSSION
Background
In June 2005 the Town of Marana began the process to complete a Noise Compatibility Study.
The Noise Compatibility Study evaluated the existing and future noise conditions at the Marana
Regional Airport and their impact on the surrounding community. The resulting study includes
measures to manage noise impacts in the vicinity of the airport.
Aircraft noise is an inevitable result of having an airport within a community and will continue
as long as the airport is a viable component of the national air transportation infrastructure. The
intent of the Noise Compatibility Plan has been to develop measures to limit the impact of noise
on the community now and in the future. The Town of Marana and Marana Regional Airport
staff have taken the first step towards ensuring airport land use compatibility by initiating a Part
150 Noise Compatibility Study. The proposed Town's Noise Compatibility Program will allow
the airport to establish itself as a good neighbor to future development while maintaining the
needed aviation services within the community.
An important part of the Noise Compatibility Study process was public involvement. A
Planning Advisory Committee (PAC) made up of technical and aviation professionals as well as
local community representatives met several times and reviewed and commented on all of the
work as it progressed. There were three public information workshops and one public hearing
for interested individuals to offer comments and learn about the study. In addition, all of the
working documents were published on the internet where interested individuals could review the
study and make comments on the study as it progressed.
What is a Noise Compatibility Study?
An Airport Noise Compatibility Study is guided by federal rules adopted in Part 150 of Title 14
of the Code of Federal Regulations (Part 150). These regulations authorize federal assistance for
the preparation of airport noise compatibility studies and outline the necessary components of
such studies. The purpose of a Noise Compatibility Study is to promote aircraft noise control
and land use compatibility in the area immediately surrounding the airport. The result ofthe
Airport Noise Compatibility Study- Study Session Presentation
9/19/2006
study is a comprehensive approach intended to reduce airport and community land use conflicts
and also identifies projects which are eligible for funding through the federal Aviation
Improvement Program.
The principal objectives of a Noise Compatibility Study are to:
. Identify the current and projected aircraft noise levels and their impact on the airport
enVIrons.
. Propose strategies to reduce the impact of aircraft noise through changes in aircraft
operations or airport facilities
. In undeveloped areas, where aircraft noise is projected to remain, encourage future land
uses which are compatible with airport operations such as agriculture, commercial, or
industrial.
. In existing residential areas which are expected to remain impacted by noise, determine
methods to reduce the adverse impacts of noise.
. Establish procedures to implement, review, and update the program.
A Noise Compatibility Study includes the preparation of two documents: the Noise Exposure
Maps (NEM) and the Noise Compatibility Program (NCP). The following describes the
results ofthe analysis and recommendations.
Noise Exposure Maps
The Noise Exposure Maps document is an evaluation of the existing and future noise conditions
at the airport used as a baseline analysis for the study. The resulting product is the Noise
Exposure Maps which illustrate the existing and future noise conditions with noise exposure
contours. Noise exposure contours identify those areas adversely impacted by aircraft noise
based on federally-prescribed methodology. Exhibits 3G, 3H, and 3J illustrate the existing and
future noise exposure contours for Marana Regional Airport.
Noise Compatibility Program
The Noise Compatibility Program document is the Town's program for promoting airport noise
compatibility. The recommended measures included in the NCP are intended to. improve and
maintain compatibility between noise-sensitive land uses and aircraft operations. The Noise
Compatibility Program for the Marana Regional Airport includes the following
recommendations for noise abatement, land use management and program management:
Noise Abatement Element
Several noise abatement alternatives were evaluated during the study, including changes
to flight tracks, runway use, and aircraft operating procedures. These alternatives were
evaluated based on their effect on safety, cost and potential for noise reduction. Many of
the evaluated measures were eliminated from further consideration because of a lack of
reduction of noise-sensitive uses within the 65 DNL noise contour. The following
measure comprises the noise abatement element of the plan:
Page 2016
1. Develop Pilot and Public Education Programs
As the Town of Marana continues to develop, it will be important for the Town to have a
program for monitoring noise abatement issues and disseminating information to pilots,
airport users, and the public. The Town should consider developing pilot and public
education programs for the Marana Regional Airport. These programs could have
several components, some of which are directed at reducing noise through pilot education
and others that are intended to raise the awareness of current and potential residents about
the existence of the Airport.
These programs are a cooperative approach that could include monthly pilot meetings,
distribution of brochures describing voluntary noise abatement procedures, signs in pilot
lounges, airport open houses, real estate agent seminars, and homeowners' meetings.
Land Use Management Element
The land use management element encourages compatible development within the areas
near Marana Regional Airport. The following land use measures are included in the
Noise Compatibility Program.
1. Revise Town of Marana General Plan to establish a land use compatibility
threshold for noise-sensitive land uses.
In addition to the existing land use compatibility policies included as part of the General
Plan, the Town of Marana should consider including language that establishes a
compatibility threshold for noise-sensitive land uses. This would support the
implementation of the overlay zone proposed as part of this plan. The Town of Marana
should also encourage Pima County to adopt similar policies for the area within the Town
of Marana Airport Influence Area (AlA).
2. The Town of Marana should consider adopting an airport compatibility
checklist for discretionary review of projects within the Airport Influence Area.
The Town of Marana should encourage Pima County to adopt a similar
checklist for projects within the AlA that fall under the county's jurisdiction.
A checklist for discretionary project review that relates to airport land use compatibility
can be useful for governing bodies to make recommendations and decisions regarding
development near the airport. A checklist addressing land use compatibility criteria
could be adopted by the Town of Marana and Pima County to evaluate projects within
the Marana Regional Airport Influence Area.
3. Consider maintaining the rural residential and agricultural zoning
classifications between the 55 DNL and AlA.
Description. The Town of Maran a should maintain those areas zoned for compatible
development, identified on the following exhibit between the long range 55 DNL noise
Page 3 of6
contour and the AlA. These areas are identified on the following exhibit. This approach
will promote lower density residential development near the airport. The Town of
Marana should also encourage Pima County to adopt similar policies for the area within
the Town of Marana AlA (see exhibit 7 A).
4. The Town of Marana should adopt an overlay zone to regulate the development
of noise-sensitive land uses within the AlA (see Table 7 A & Exhibit 7B).
Description. The Town of Marana should adopt an overlay zone to ensure compatible
land development near the airport. Among the advantages of adopting an airport overlay
zone are the simplicity of the required amendments, the ease of administration, the clear
relationship between the regulations and their purpose, and the minimal impact of the
regulations on the application of the zoning ordinance in other parts of the community.
The overlay zone, illustrated on the following exhibit, would be comprised of three
geographic areas, each with corresponding compatibility criteria. Zone One would be the
most restrictive and is based on the long range 55 DNL noise contour. Noise-sensitive
development would not be allowed in this zone.
Zone Two is drawn 1,250 feet from the sides of the runways to form a rectangle around
each runway. For the primary runways, 12-30, Zone 2 extends to the AlA. For the
crosswind runway, 3-21 Zone 2 extends 2 miles out from the future ends of Runway 3-
21. This zone is based on the main aircraft approach and departure paths for the airport.
Noise-sensitive institutions such as schools and places of worship are prohibited in this
area. Residential development is allowed in this area with noise and avigation easements
and fair disclosure notices.
Zone Three is based on the long-range traffic pattern for the airport. Noise and avigation
easements and fair disclosure notices are required for development in this area.
5. The Town of Marana should consider revising the existing subdivision regulations
to require a noise and avigation easement as a condition of subdivision approval
for those areas within the AlA.
Description. The Town of Marana should consider revising the existing subdivision
regulations to require the dedication of a noise and avigation easement as a condition of
subdivision approval for those areas located within the AlA. Including these
requirements as part of the subdivision approval process would ensure that the avigation
easement would be associated with every parcel within the development. The Town of
Marana should also encourage Pima County to adopt similar policies for the area within
the Town of Marana AlA.
Program Management Element
The success of the Noise Compatibility Program requires continuous effort to monitor
compliance and identify new problems resulting from changing conditions. The
following measures are recommended for Marana Regional Airport.

1. Update Noise Exposure Maps and Noise Compatibility Program.
Airport management should review the Noise Compatibility Program and consider
revisions and refinements as necessary. A complete plan update will be needed
periodically to respond to changing conditions in the local area and in the aviation
industry. This can be anticipated every seven to ten years.
2. Monitor implementation of the updated Part 150 Noise Compatibility Program
Airport management must monitor compliance with the Noise Abatement Element. This
will involve periodically checking with airport users regarding compliance with the
procedures.
Result of Noise Compatibility Program
The maps in the study present the noise exposure contours illustrating the existing and forecast
noise conditions for 2005,2010, and the long-range scenario. These noise exposure contours
assume that the recommendations from the Noise Compatibility Plan are fully implemented.
Overall, the forecast noise contours are expected to increase in size compared to the baseline
2005 conditions. The increase in sizeis due to the potential construction of a future parallel
runway. Aircraft operations are anticipated to increase commensurate with the short-term
planning forecast.
The following table displays the number of dwelling units exposed to noise for the baseline
conditions compared to the conditions with the fully-implemented Noise Compatibility Program.
For the baseline condition, five dwelling units are impacted between the 55 and 60 DNL noise
contours. There are no dwelling units within the 65 DNL noise contour. As shown in the table,
implementation of the plan would result in a decrease in noise impacts for the 2010 and long-
range conditions.
