Mangum, Airport Director AGENDA TITLE: Resolution No. 2006-148: Relating to the Marana Regional Airport; authorizing and approving the Marana Regional Airport Master Plan Update and the Noise Compatibility Study; and authorizing the Airport Director to file all paperwork and execute all documents related to the studies. DISCUSSION In June 2005, the Town of Marana began the process of updating the Airport Master Plan and completing a Noise Compatibility Study for the Marana Regional Airport. An important part of the planning process for both of the studies 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 (see attached PAC Committee Member list). There were three public information workshops and one public hearing for interested individuals to offer comments and learn about the two studies. In addition, all of the working documents have been published on the internet where interested individuals could review the study and make comments on the study as it progressed. The Airport Master Plan provides a 20-year long-range strategic forecast of future aviation demands on the community. The plan then determines 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. 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. The Airport Noise Compatibility Study is a technical review of the existing and future noise impacts of aircraft operations in the vicinity of the Marana Regional Airport. The Noise Compatibility Study is a specialized analysis, with a resulting comprehensive plan, which outlines specific approaches to managing airport noise and land use compatibility with the airport. The intent of the Noise Compatibility Study is to develop measures to limit the impact of noise on the community, both now and in the future. The Noise Compatibility Program will allow the airport to establish itself as a good neighbor to existing and future development while maintaining the needed aviation services within the community. Airport Master Plan and Noise Compatibility Study 9/19/2006 Both studies are formal Federal Aviation Administration planning programs, which were funded through $380,000 in federal and state aviation grants, and $29,817 in local funds. The studies were completed by Coffman Associates, Inc, an airport consulting firm. ATTACHMENTS PAC Committee Member list.
