FACILITY REQUIREMENTS Terminal Gates, Apron Frontage, and Commercial Aircraft Parking The existing terminal apron area is approximately 38,000 square yards (within the surrounding vehicle service road (VSR)). This area is used for aircraft parking and ground service equipment (GSE). The apron area includes a secured identification display area (SIDA), which is required for commercial passenger service airline operations. There are currently 10 aircraft parking positions on the terminal apron, 6 for Concourse A and 3 for Concourse B, and the less-utilized B-North. Two remote heavy pad parking positions are available on the North Ramp but these are shared with large charter operations and have design limitations which restrict their usefulness as further detailed in Section 3.8.1.1, Heavy Aircraft Apron. An additional remote heavy pad is available on the South Ramp and this is occasionally used by commercial aircraft. Planning Activity Level forecasts show a need for 1 additional commercial aircraft parking position in the near-term and a total of 15 commercial aircraft parking positions by PAL 3. Table 3-21 shows the Peak Hour Gate/Stand requirements over the planning period. The type of parking position (gate or hardstand) is not specified within this analysis, only that the space itself is necessary to meet future demand. Development of alternatives will identify different options for how commercial aircraft parking can be best accommodated.

Circulation not included. LANDSIDE FACILITIES Landside facility requirements include all elements that provide access/egress for the Airport, circulation within the public portions of the Airport, and storage of vehicles at the Airport: the regional roadway and transit system, on-airport roadways, the terminal curb roadway, public and employee parking, rental car facilities, and commercial ground transportation facilities. Each of these is addressed in the subsequent subsections. The determination of the landside requirements varied slightly depending on the type of facility, but the analysis generally followed this process: »The data gathered from the airport, its landside tenants, and by the Master Plan staff in the field were used to determine the current capacity and level of service using procedures appropriate to the available data and the standards of the profession. »The base case (typically, peak hour of the average day of the peak month of July 2016) passenger activity levels were related to the landside activity levels assembled for the capacity and level of service analyses.
