4 Master Plan Update
Goals The following goals were identified by SCAS Establish the Optimal Airport Plan: Provide airport plans that are effective and can be implemented to continue to meet regional needs and enhance both SMF s and the community s status. Maintain Affordability: Develop cost effective airport improvements that will assist in meeting projected growth through the year 2035. Identify methods to increase non aviation related revenue generation, thereby reducing costs to airlines operating at SMF. Enhance Customer Service: Recommend changes and improvements that will enhance and improve the customer experience (in a cost effective manner). We create a superior customer experience through collaboration and continuous improvement 5 Master Plan Update
The Way Forward Overarching issue Identifying and realizing opportunities for air service growth and revenue enhancement in a period of slow economic growth Vision: Northern California s Gateway to the World Challenges Balance achievement of vision with economic realities Develop a rational plan Communicate plan and rationale to stakeholders The Way Forward Define the market Enhance SMF's role as economic catalyst Emphasize non aviation revenue Fine tune and integrate existing plans Prepare a sustainable, affordable, and flexible long range plan 6 Master Plan Update
Background An Airport Master Plan is a concept for long term development Airport master plans are prepared to support the modernization or expansion of existing airports or the creation of a new airport The master plan is the sponsor s strategy for the development of the airport The goal is to guide future airport development that will cost effectively satisfy aviation demand, while considering potential environmental and socioeconomic impacts 7 Master Plan Update
Background (continued) The master plan process 8 Master Plan Update
Background (continued) Master plan products and outcomes PRODUCTS Ultimate land use plan for the airport Sound and comprehensive development plan Schedule OUTCOMES Stakeholder / community consensus Coordination with regional plans Foundation for ensuing efforts (FAA approvals, NEPA, etc.) Capital improvement plan Business and financial plan Airport layout plan 9 Master Plan Update
Areas of Emphasis Forecasts Sound rationale exists for forecast growth outside the allowed variance from the FAA TAF FAA 2011 Terminal Area Forecasts (TAF) underestimate demand for SMF s international service No growth forecast in international passengers Mexicana bankruptcy and national economic recession temporarily disrupted international service development Hispanic population is 25% of SMF's service region (1.2 million); strong ties to Mexico New service to Mexico by AeroMexico and Volaris Southwest (major carrier at SMF) now providing international service SMF's catchment area is expected to expand Sacramento business community has global connections and long term demand for international service 10 Master Plan Update
Areas of Emphasis Airfield Planning Two key elements to be evaluated Potential Extension to Runway 16L/34R Length Geometry Purpose and need to satisfy NEPA Challenges: environmental to the north, light rail/roadway/environmental to the south Review Taxiway System Capacity Geometric standards 11 Master Plan Update
Areas of Emphasis Passenger Terminal Capacity is adequate for the near term and possibly well into the long term future SCAS has already identified expansion options Conversion of Terminal A to an airside concourse (and closure of its landside components) Expansion of Concourse A to construct additional aircraft parking positions and holdrooms Expansion of Terminal B to the south Focus will be on identifying the triggers that will drive the timing and sequencing of expansion projects 12 Master Plan Update
Areas of Emphasis Ground Transportation Timing and financial plan for the development of Garage B Implementation of the long range roadway plan Assess and provide guidance for maximizing parking revenue We will also consider other current ground transportation planning efforts Recent closure of Economy Lot sections 43 and 44 Consolidation of Hourly B and Surface B exit plazas Modifications to Economy Lot busing operations Parking revenue control improvements 13 Master Plan Update
Areas of Emphasis Airport Support Facilities We will develop and evaluate the approximate sizes and locations for support facilities Air Cargo General Aviation Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting Fuel Aircraft Maintenance Airport Maintenance 14 Master Plan Update
Areas of Emphasis Commercial Development Leveraging the airport asset AIRPORTS are MULTIMODAL & MULTIFUNCTIONAL ENTERPRISES generating considerable commercial development in and beyond their boundaries The Physical Internet: Connecting People, High Value Products & Information Leveraging Airport Connectivity for Economic Development Leveraging Airport Land Assets Generates Major Non Aeronautical Revenue Streams Shifting the traditional ratio of aeronautical to non aeronautical revenues from 70/30 to 30/70. 15 Master Plan Update
Areas of Emphasis Environmental & Land Use Environmental trade offs will involve overlapping resource concerns Many sensitive environmental attributes on and around SMF Focus on the analysis of impacts of proposed improvements and potential mitigation requirements and costs Evaluate the SMF s opportunities and challenges for potential commercial development Consistency with the County s and City s development plans 16 Master Plan Update
Areas of Emphasis Business Planning The financial success of SMF is a high priority Forecasting Revenue Enhancement CIP & Implementation Market-based forecasts Robust analysis of the air service market to determine potential future demand Catchment area study will be conducted to determine overlap with Bay Area airports Opportunities for new or expanded route development Review tenant rates and charges and recommend changes needed to increase revenues Explore market conditions for commercial development opportunities on SMF s existing property not needed for aeronautical purposes and for underperforming and/or vacant terminal space 20-year CIP inclusive of an assessment of the ability to fund it. Phasing plan with demand triggers for proposed improvements, sources and uses of funds needed to implement discreet projects, regulatory requirements and implementation responsibilities. 17 Master Plan Update
Areas of Emphasis Stakeholder Engagement Stakeholder engagement is a key component Objective engage community in master plan process Approach tailored to specific stakeholders Technical advisory committee Planning professionals group In person meetings Public workshops Project website 18 Master Plan Update
