AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT ALTERNATIVES whole can be accommodated within the existing administrative parking area when paired with an expansion to the east into the existing fuel storage area. An enabling project for this expansion is the relocation of the existing fuel storage area and construction of a new fuel storage area, allowing this land to be reused for employee parking. One challenge to this concept worth consideration is the requirement to construct a new roadway bisecting long-term parking and short-term parking/rental cars. This new bisecting road creates a need to construct new ticketing and payment infrastructure for the short-term parking lot. This concept also requires drivers entering the employee lot to turn into the lot from the loop road, which is not ideal and also not required in other concepts. Landside Concept #2 in all evaluation areas. This concept benefits through cost savings by leaving Douglas Drive (terminal loop road) intact and constructs a new entrance in the same location as the existing entrance. Alternatively, this entrance can be relocated slightly north of the present location which might improve challenges during construction and implementation. Parking lot and rental car users are directed to a new road which bypasses the terminal curb-front, therefore reducing unnecessary traffic and increasing curb-front level of service. This concept also explores the opportunity for eliminating short-term parking and replacing it with true hourly parking (no longer than 2 hours duration). Less hourly parking is needed than short-term parking allowing growth in the long-term parking lot and allowing meeter-greeters and well-wishers a high level of service by locating convenient parking near the baggage claim area. Another advantage to this concept is the placement of a new cell phone lot within the existing footprint of the overflow parking lot. This reduces cost and environmental impacts. Similar to Landside Concept #1, a challenge to this concept is the need for new ticketing and payment infrastructure. Commercial vehicle staging in this option is located in the same place as Landside Concept #1, however, without expanding Douglas Drive, commercial drivers will use Lockheed Drive to enter the staging queue. Employee parking for this concept has the same considerations as Landside Concept #1. Landside Concept #3 has the benefit of using many of the existing roads within the loop road and parking areas to create new entry/exit points which eliminate the need for parkers and rental car users to pass by the curb-front. This concept explores the opportunity to provide higher levels of service to different user groups by placing new and expanded rental car facilities opposite the baggage claim area and hourly parking opposite the terminal ticketing area. A new cell phone lot is built on the east side of Northrup Drive and the Overflow Parking Lot is changed to an Economy Lot. One challenge to the Economy Lot is 6 the requirement to shuttle passengers to/from the terminal. An advantage to this reprogramming is the ability to offer another parking option to airport users and utilize the available parking according to customer demand. Among all landside concepts, Concept #3 has the highest associated challenge with implementation and construction phasing. This is primarily associated with the relocation of rental car facilities and the associated impacts to parking operations. Managing parking operations during the construction of a new rental car service building and the transition of rental car activity to its new location would require an organized implementation plan and has the potential to cause minor disruptions and/or passenger confusion. This would be limited and temporary but none-the-less more impactful to customer level of service than other alternatives. 6 This service was added in October 2017 prior to finalizing the Master Plan and is therefore no longer an issue for this concept.
