Airport as an economic driver

• Some $2 billion a year is spent by visitors who arrive to the region via San Diego International Airport

• 5,000 people work at the Airport, including Airport Authority, airline, concessionaire and other personnel

• Every airport-related job generates 15 additional jobs in the region

• The Airport contributes some $4.5 billion annually to the regional economy, totaling 4% of the region’s total economic output

6

• By 2009, San Diego County will add more than 5,200 new hotel rooms

• These new hotel visitors will require additional air service

• Las Vegas estimates each new hotel room = 300 new passengers at Las Vegas Airport

• Eight cruise lines presently serve San Diego• 1.4 million cruise passengers are expected

by 2017• Additional cruise passengers require

additional air service

Tourism demand grows air service

7

Business demand grows air service

• Outreach to business, trade and travel/tourism communities to determine air service and business travel requirements:

• Collaboration with World Trade Center

- San Diego-based International Business Travel Survey

- Trade Missions important to San Diego economy and air service

- Identify the level of business demand between San Diego and

international destinations

- Support of Airport Authority’s Aviation Education Forum Series

Where we are today

In 2005, SDIA:

- Served a record 17.4 millionpassengers – one million morethan 2004

- Offered 27 passenger and cargo airlines with nonstopflights to more than 44 destinations

Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP)

11

Purpose of Airport Land Use Compatibility Plans

To protect public health, safety, and welfare by ensuring the orderly expansion of airports and the adoption of land use measures that minimize the public’s exposure to excessive noise and safety hazards within areas around public airports

To assist local agencies in ensuring compatible land uses in the vicinity of all new and existing airports, to the extent that the land in the vicinity of those airports is not already devoted to incompatible uses

Airport Land Use Compatibility Plans (ALUCPs) are based on:

State Law

FAA Guidelines

FAA Advisory Circulars

Caltrans Airport Land Use Planning Handbook

Case Law

12

Safety Concern: Risk to people and property• Objective: Limit number of people and risk–sensitive uses in

highest-risk areas

Airspace Protection Concern: Hazards to flight• Objective: Avoid new hazards

Noise Concern: Disruption of human activities• Objective: Avoid new noise-sensitive uses in noise-

impacted areas

Over-flight Concern: Annoyance• Objective: Increase buyer/renter awareness of airport

proximity

Compatibility Factors Required To Be Addressed in an ALUCP

13

Land Uses of Special Concern

Certain land uses such as: schools, hospitals, daycare centers and nursing homes are identified by the California Public Utility Code as types of land uses that warrant additional noise and safety considerations in ALUCPs

• Vulnerable Occupants: Occupants have reduced effective mobility or are unable to respond quickly to emergency situations

• Noise and Outdoor Activity: Aircraft noise impacts and outdoor activity associated with educational facilities are required to be considered in evaluating school compatibility with airport operations

ALUCP Technical Advisory Group

At the November 9, 2005 ALUCP Public Workshop, the ALUC directedstaff to develop an ALUCP Technical Advisory Group (ATAG) that includes community planning group representatives, municipalities and other interested parties

Purpose of ATAG meetings is to receive input and suggestions on remaining policy issues, including Construction and/or Expansion of Schools within Airport Influence Areas

ATAG has held five meetings, and numerous subcommittee meetings

The issues related to the Construction/Expansion of Schools will be discussed by the ATAG in upcoming meetings

Airport Site Selection Program

(ASSP)

22

Airport Site Selection Program –What the region needs

- Two runways to accommodate simultaneous takeoffs andlandings

- Long enough runways to handle all aircraft types- Adequate separation between runways for safety- Sufficient acreage to address capacity demands- Efficient roadways and mass transit system for airport access

23

Economic impacts:• Higher ticket prices• Competitive damage to

businesses• Lost tourism dollars• Slower job growth• Reduced tax revenues

Airport Site Selection Program –Cost of inaction

Quality-of-life impacts:• Fewer flight options• Longer lines in the

terminals• Aircraft delays on the

taxiways• Traffic congestion on

Harbor Drive

2424

• Detailed analysis on two civilian sites: Campo/Boulevard & Imperial County –COMPLETED

• Joint (military/civilian) use analysis on three military sites -UNDERWAY

Airport Site Selection Program –Nine Sites

25

Airport Site Selection Program –Site Selection Update

• Extensive scrutiny and analysis of potential airport sites

• Airport Authority has worked diligently to ensure county residents are well-informed regarding potential airport site locations and why this effort is key

- Importance of meeting future air transportation needs

• Late spring/early summer 2006

- Site selection recommendation

- Ballot language for a countywide vote in November 2006

26

Airport Master Plan

(AMP)

27

Airport Master Plan –Near-term answers

• Measured, incremental improvements to increase capacity of San Diego International Airport with existing single runway

• Interim solution for meeting near-term growth through 2015

• Based on 2005 Aviation Activity Forecast

• What’s needed:

- Expanded terminal areas and parking

- 10 new gates added to the existing 41 gates

- Taxiway improvements
