FACILITY REQUIREMENTS 3.7.2.2Outer Curb Roadway Whereas the inner curb roadway is designated for active loading and unloading only, the outer curb is intended for both vehicle staging (waiting) and passenger drop off or pick up. In addition to the spaces on the outer curb, there are also two locations elsewhere that can be utilized by commercial vehicles for staging/waiting if all the spaces on the outer curb are filled when an empty vehicle arrives. Commercial vehicles can wait along Douglas Drive upstream of the left exit to the outer curb, and Omni Shuttles are provided four spaces in Short-Term Parking. Based on observation, discussion with ground transportation providers, and airport staff, the current facilities were determined to adequately provide the necessary spaces for commercial modes at the desired level of service. With only 21 total commercial vehicles (13 of which are taxis) on the outer curb in the current peak hour, the 14 spaces (eight of which are for taxis) amply meets the demand. Future growth out to PAL 3 would only increase the demand to 25 peak hour vehicles (15 taxis), still well within the ability to be served by the current number of spaces. Some taxi industry representatives requested an additional space for pre-arranged taxis on the left lane of the outer curb, to handle their seasonal peaks (which tend to coincide with the University of Oregon calendar of students moving in/out, or visitors to major campus events such a football games). Such a change, though, would not require any physical expansion of the outer curb, but rather merely some signing and striping. Parking A variety of parking is provided at Eugene Airport. Requirements were determined for: »Public parking at the terminal, which includes a Long-Term Lot (LT) and a Short-Term Lot (ST). These requirements were determined independently of each other. »Employee parking. Most employee parking is provided in two common areas that serve a variety of employees, both airport and tenant, who work in or at the terminal or the immediately adjacent airport buildings (including the Administration Building). In addition to these parking areas, other parking areas exist where on-site parking for users, employees, and others is provided for a specific building or land use. Examples of these include the FAA Air Traffic Control Tower, the FBO buildings, GA hangar areas, et al. Parking requirements were not developed for these locations. 3.7.3.1Public Parking For the ST and LT lots, the parking revenue control system (PRCS) provided the data on which requirements were based. Key data included: »The PRCS provided lot occupancy counts for both lots for each hour of the day for all of 2015 and for all but one week of the first six months of 2016. The occupancy counts came from a credit/debit system of detectors within the lots that increment the occupancy each time a vehicle enters, or decrements the occupancy when a vehicle leaves. Machine, detector, and other errors can create inaccurate counts, which requires resetting the count system. To account for this, the data has been purged of such errors (e.g., showing an occupancy higher than 100 percent of the space count for a lot). The remaining valid observations (typically 85 percent of the total database) was used to generate a profile of how busy (full) the lots were across the year. EUGENE AIRPORT MASTER PLAN 3-47
