AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT ALTERNATIVES <br /> Existing Airport Land Use Patterns <br />Defining and evaluating existing airport land use patterns began early in the master planning process <br />during the inventory of existing conditions. A categorical summary of existing land use patterns is shown <br />in Figure 4-2. A number of important conclusions were drawn during the facility requirements analysis <br />including: <br />1. General aviation facilities are dispersed across multiple location at the airport. <br />2. The general aviation facilities/community is separated by the commercial terminal operations and <br />should be consolidated away from this conflicting use. <br />3. The taxiway system is made up of remnants of a previous runway configuration and simplification <br />of this system would open up prime real estate for higher and better uses. <br />4. The commercial terminal and associated landside/roadway system is oriented to a previous <br />airfield configuration and therefore utilizing available land inefficiently. <br />5. Charter operations are lacking essential ancillary amenities such as adequate parking and <br />roadways capable of serving large buses. <br />6. Airport maintenance facilities are taking place in buildings not designed to meet that intended <br />purpose and not located in the most operationally efficient location. <br />7. Lane Aviation Academy flight school would be best served located near Runway 16L-34R, which is <br />optimally designed and suited for general aviation training operations. <br />8. The fuel storage is located in an unsecure area away from the primary users on the General <br />Aviation South Ramp. <br />FIGURE 4-2 <br />EXISTING AIRPORT LAND USE PATTERNS <br /> <br />Source: RS&H Analysis, 2017 <br />EUGENE AIRPORT MASTER PLAN 4-6 <br /> <br />
