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; 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 10/3/06 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 1. Draft Airport Master Plan Executive Summary 2.

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. FORECASTS Assessing the potential demand for aviation servicesl 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 isl . presented in the following graph. - SASIED AIRCRAFT TOTAL OPERAT~ONS ' ~ , I . 600 r- ," t--~.':"~'" ':; ~ , ~...~~-::: '- ". _.... ~t '..~ .-. .~~ ~ ........

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 forecasted milestones are summarized in the following table. 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, measuring 7,200 feet and extending Runway 3-21 from 3,893 feet to the ultimate length of 4,700 feet for training and small aircraft operations. In order to accommodate the forecast 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 have been planned to provide an alternative location for aircraft owners in Pima County, especially those living in the northwest Tucson metropolitan area, to base their aircraft. ,I - .'

The AlP progrJm 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 95 percent can be received from the FAA for eligible projects. .. i~' Ii .'. I I V/i{fi 'T~"~i~rJ"mi~~r'~JA:o'1~mfIif~:'tfi~ m.ostlmpOrtat.tt oh,JJ~'l~ ~ imJ?l~rnJ~I)~U(m.

Eligible projects can receive up to 90 perce"!t funding from ADOT for non-federally funded projects..
