AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT ALTERNATIVES of long-term, short-term, and overflow parking, as well as tenant and administrative parking. Alternative development options for parking will consider size, location, and various programming schemes to offer development options that can optimize efficiency, cost, and customer level of service. All landside concepts were developed interactively with terminal, airfield, and support services concepts, in order to create a cohesive plan for the entire airport. They were developed to address these issues in a manner which resolves them in a financially feasible way, through PAL 3, without sacrificing future development and growth potential as the Airport moves incrementally toward the ultimate land use pattern vision. Additional considerations in the creation of development alternatives include overall plan sustainability and concurrence with existing city and county plans/design codes. This consideration was particularly impactful in determining the amount of parking spaces provided by a particular alternative concept. This will be explained in more detail in the following section. 4.5.3.2 Landside/Roadway Alternatives The process of forming alternative landside/roadway concepts resulted in the creation of four alternative development options. Each option contains elements which address the previously listed key issues. These elements have the ability to be refined or reorganized (as best as possible) from how they are shown in the four development alternatives to create a hybrid solution better suited to meet community preferences. In order to determine the amount of parking spaces provided by each alternative concept, an analysis was required to determine how all space within the terminal loop road would be defined. Aside from the space required for parking a car, space must be programmed to allow for effective auto circulation, safe pedestrian circulation, accommodation of required buildings structures, and integration of green/landscaped space. City of Eugene Land Use Code outlines design standards for parking lots, as shown in Figure 4-11. Using this local guidance, along with an analysis of existing conditions, and consideration to known public sentiment regarding the preservation of green/natural spaces, it was determined that each parking stall within the terminal loop road would require a 400 square feet per space planning factor. This planning factor accounts for all required elements found within the airport parking areas, including the preservation of roughly 16 percent of the total land area within the loop road for a landscape buffer extending approximately 50 feet from the edge of surrounding terminal loop roads. This planning factor exceeds the typical national average of 300 to 320 square feet-per-parking stall. All of the following landside alternative concepts include a table breaking down the projected number of accommodated parking spaces based upon the 400 square foot-per-stall standard.
