AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT ALTERNATIVES <br />be brought forward for discussions with the Technical and Community Advisory Committees. Using the <br />feedback from Advisory Committee meetings, the best alternative elements concept were then <br />incorporated into a preferred future development option. <br /> ALTERNATIVE CONCEPTS EVALUATION CRITERIA <br />Throughout the alternative development process, evaluation was performed based on guidance provided <br />from a combination of Eugene Airport visioning goals and general airport planning criteria. At a high level, <br />each concept was evaluated against the following criteria: <br />» Operational safety and public safety <br />» Operational efficiency <br />» FAA airfield design standards for critical aircraft <br />» Target user groups needs met (Airfield - commercial vs GA) <br />» Resolution of current issues <br />» Appropriate level of service is provided (pedestrian and vehicular) <br />» Long-term facility requirements are met <br />» Ease of implementation <br />» Costs (capital and operating) <br />» Flexibility and future expansion potential <br />» Public and tenant operational impacts <br />» Environmental impacts and sustainability <br /> ULTIMATE AIRPORT LAND USE PATTERN VISION <br />Prior to solving immediate facility needs and directing development throughout the PAL 3 planning <br />period, an airport must have an ultimate land use pattern vision in place to strive toward. The intention of <br />this vision is to guide decision making over the life of the Airport, regardless of current leadership, and <br />maintain continuity in airport growth which better serves the community and minimizes costly counter- <br />productive development. The process of formulating this vision began by evaluating existing land use <br />patterns at the Airport and reviewing Eugene Airport visioning goals established early in the pre-planning <br />process. Then a review of FAA Regulatory and Advisory Circular dimensional criteria (e.g. FAR Part 77, AC <br />150/5300-13A, etc.) limitations and environmental considerations was performed. Case studies of <br />comparable airports were also researched to gain insight on how other airports had approached similar <br />land use pattern challenges. The following sections describe the process of developing this ultimate land <br />use pattern vision. <br /> <br />EUGENE AIRPORT MASTER PLAN 4-5 <br /> <br />
