AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT ALTERNATIVES other airport facilities. The following bullets describe how the proposed airfield design accomplishes all evaluation criteria goals: » Improves operational and public safety through modern FAA design guidance » Maximizes operational efficiency within FAA design standards » Responsibly meets FAA airfield design standards for critical aircraft without overdesign » Each movement area effectively serves appropriate target user, whether commercial or GA » Taxiway simplification resolves current airfield over-complexity issues » Retains or improves level of service for passengers (commercial passengers and GA users) » Meets long-term facility requirements and ultimate land use pattern vision » Implementation can be phased to eliminate or reduce operational impacts » Capital costs are eligible for federal AIP funding and operating/maintenance costs are reduced through airfield simplification » Offers high degree of flexibility and potential to accommodate future expansion » Public and tenant operational impacts are minimal due to relative ease of implementation » Environmental conditions are improved through reduction of impervious surfaces which in itself is more sustainable in over the long-term Passenger Terminal Alternatives The passenger terminal building at a commercial service airport is essential and second in importance only to the runway and primary taxiways of the airfield. In fact, the location and orientation of the commercial terminal drives the location of multiple components of overall airport design, including minor taxiways and taxilanes, much of the landside/roadway system, and to a lesser extent, many of the aviation support facilities. The following sections will briefly discuss the analysis of key issues for the passenger terminal building, propose a variety of alternative concepts to meet current/future needs, and appraise each option against established evaluation criteria. 4.5.2.1 Key Issues and Items for Consideration The facility requirements analysis identified several functional areas which were space-deficient through PAL 3, resulting in a reduced customer level of service. These areas include the following: » Airline space: Departure lounges Ticketing Outbound baggage Airline administration space » TSA space: Check baggage screening » Public circulation space To meet these identified needs, PAL 3 needs justify the expansion of the departures/ticketing area of the terminal and a new or expanded secure-side concourse/departures lounge area.
