This plan provides guidance <br />regarding specific airport functions including commercial aviation, general aviation, and airport-related <br />commercial and industrial services associated with the airport. This update which is required by the <br />Federal Aviation Administration will serve as a development guide for the airport to meet aviation <br />demand through the planning horizon of 2026. It provides guidance related to possible airport facility <br />improvements, financial and business planning, land use and project coordination. Unlike the adoption <br />process for the 1999 Airport Master Plan, the current update does not include or require any <br />amendments to the Metro Plan or other locally adopted plans such as TransPlan. No changes to <br />existing land use designations, zoning, or adopted policy are proposed. <br /> <br />The Eugene City Council and Lane County Board of Commissioners held a joint public hearing on <br />September 14, 2010, to consider the proposed update to the Eugene Airport Master Plan. No public <br />testimony was received. However, the record was left open to allow revisions to the findings for <br />Statewide Planning Goal 13 regarding Energy Conservation, and for staff response to questions that <br />were raised by councilors and commissioners following the hearing. The revised findings are attached <br />for reference, and a staff response to additional questions that were raised will be provided under <br />separate cover. The ordinance and revised findings supporting approval are attached, as well as an <br />executive summary of the updated master plan, for ease of reference. <br /> <br />A complete copy of the updated Eugene Airport Master Plan, which is the subject of this action, <br />www.eugene-or.gov <br />remains available on the City’s website for the Eugene Airport at: (on the Eugene <br />Airport home page, scroll down and click on “Draft Master Plan Update” along the left-hand column). <br /> <br />Z:\CMO\2010 Council Agendas\M100927\S1009275.doc <br /> <br />
