Subdivision III - MINIMUM STANDARDS
SECTION A. -- GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
I. Introduction to Minimum Standards
a. The Minimum Standards set forth the conditions that must be satisfied in exchange for the
privilege of conducting Aeronautical Activities, e.g., Commercial Aeronautical Activities and
Non-Commercial Aeronautical Activities, at the Airport.
b. No Person shall be permitted to engage in Aeronautical Activities at the Airport without (i)
an Agreement with the City establishing terms for conducting either Commercial
Aeronautical Activity or Non-Commercial Aeronautical Activity, (ii) demonstrating the ability
and intention to satisfy the Rules and Standards throughout the term of the Agreement,
and (iii) demonstrating that it has the financial resources to fulfill the obligations of the
Agreement.
c. Except as prescribed herein or pursuant to an Agreement, the standards and requirements
of the Minimum Standards are minimums and may be exceeded.
d. The Minimum Standards are in addition to Oregon law concerning commercial operations
at airports.
II. Persons Subject to the Minimum Standards
a. The Minimum Standards apply to any Person proposing to conduct Aeronautical Activity
for which Minimum Standards are prescribed. Commercial Aeronautical Operators subject
to the Minimum Standards include Specialized Aviation Service Operators.
b. The Minimum Standards, except Section B (Application Requirements), apply to the City,
without waiver or variance, in any instance in which the City is conducting a Commercial
Aeronautical Activity or Non-Commercial Aeronautical Activity at the Airport.
c. The Minimum Standards do not apply to: (i) an Air Charter or Air Taxi operator accessing
the Airport for the limited purpose of picking up or dropping off passengers in an aircraft
that is not based at the Airport, (ii) a flight instructor accessing the Airport for the limited
purpose of picking up or dropping off a student pilot or conducting Flight Training in an
Aircraft that is not based at the Airport, (iii) an Aircraft manufacturer providing parts and
services at the specific request of an Aircraft owner or operator pursuant to a “rapid
response”, warranty work, or similar program, and (iv) a Flying Club conforming to the
requirements of Subdivision I, Section G hereof. Performing one of the foregoing activities
is not a Commercial Aeronautical Operator for purposes of the Minimum Standards.
d. The Minimum Standards do not apply to an air carrier with respect to the conduct of
scheduled passenger operations at the Airport; provided that the Minimum Standards shall
apply to each Airline Ground Handler regardless of whether the Ground Handler is staffed
with Airline employees or is a third-party contractor.
e. The Minimum Standards do not apply to Non-Commercial Aeronautical Activities,
including, for example, and without limitation private hangar storage. Non-Commercial
Aeronautical Activities are subject to Subdivision I (Policies and Guidelines) and
Subdivision II (Rules and Regulations) and the terms of an Agreement.
f. The Minimum Standards do not apply to Self-Service and self-fueling by a Tenant, provided
that the Aircraft being Self-Serviced or self-fueled is owned by the Tenant or under the
Tenant’s exclusive care, custody, and operational control of the Tenant. Self-Servicing and
40
self-fueling are subject to Subdivision II (Rules and Regulations) hereof and the terms of
an Agreement.
g. No Person may conduct a Commercial Aeronautical Activity or Non-Commercial
Aeronautical Activity at the Airport that is not expressly addressed in the Minimum
Standards without the City’s prior written approval. In reviewing a request, the City will
consider the nature of the Commercial Aeronautical Activity and Non-Commercial
Aeronautical Activity, the proposed business terms, and the compatibility of the
Aeronautical Activity with then-existing Airport operations and activities. The City further
may request review by the FAA to consider, for example, and without limitation, whether
the Aeronautical Activity may be conducted safely at the Airport. The City may decide, at
its sole discretion, to amend the Minimum Standards prior to executing an Agreement
authorizing the new Commercial Aeronautical Activity or Non-Commercial Aeronautical
Activity to, for example and without limitation, create a new category of Commercial
Aeronautical Operator with attendant requirements and standards. The Airport Director
shall consider the following criteria in determining if a Person shall for authorized for
Commercial Aeronautical Activity or Non-Commercial Aeronautical Activity at the Airport:
1) The terms and conditions of any pre-existing commercial operators at the Airport
providing comparable services;
2) The impact of the proposed Commercial Aeronautical Activity or Non-Commercial
Aeronautical Activity on public safety and convenience;
3) The amount of available space at the Airport;
4) The customary uses of the Airport;
5) Compatibility of the proposed new Commercial Aeronautical Activity or Non-
Commercial Aeronautical Activity with present and planned development at the
Airport;
6) Compliance of the proposed Commercial Aeronautical Activity or Non-Commercial
Aeronautical Activity with all federal, state, and local laws and
7) Equitable treatment of Commercial Aeronautical Activity and Non-Commercial
Aeronautical Activity providers on the Airport.
h. If a Commercial Aeronautical Operator conducts multiple Aeronautical Activities under a
single Agreement, that Commercial Aeronautical Operator must comply with the Minimum
Standards established for each separate activity. If the Minimum Standards for one
Commercial Aeronautical Activity are inconsistent with the Minimum Standards for another,
then the stricter or higher Minimum Standards apply to all Commercial Aeronautical
Activities of that Commercial Aeronautical Operator.
i. No Person may conduct a Commercial Aeronautical Activity or Non-Commercial
Aeronautical Activity at the Airport in support of an Aeronautical Activity that is prohibited
by the FAA, the State of Oregon, or the City.
j. Persons conducting Non-Commercial Aeronautical Activities shall be subject to these
Minimum Standards. The City may establish a Non-Commercial Aeronautical Activity rates,
fees and charges schedule that may vary from the Commercial Aeronautical Activities
rates, fees, and charges schedule.
III. Waivers and Variances
a. The Airport Director may waive all or any portion of the Minimum Standards for the benefit
of any government or government agency performing public or emergency services,
41
including, for example, and without limitation: law enforcement, disaster relief, search and
rescue, fire prevention, firefighting, and military training.
b. The Airport Director may approve a temporary waiver of the Minimum Standards upon
finding that each of the following conditions is satisfied: (i) the Commercial Aeronautical
Operator seeking the waiver will be the only operator on the Airport to provide a specific
product, service, or facility as of the effective date of the Agreement; (ii) the operator has
agreed to come into full compliance with the Minimum Standards within a prescribed
schedule; (iii) the schedule is enforceable by the City; (iv) the temporary waiver is needed
to alleviate the financial burden of initiating a new Commercial Aeronautical Activity at the
Airport; and (v) the Airport Director finds that the temporary waiver will not materially
interfere with the Commercial Aeronautical Operator’s ability to provide high quality
products, services, and facilities to Airport users.
c. The Airport Director may approve a temporary variance of the Minimum Standards upon
finding that each of the following conditions is satisfied: (i) a special condition or unique
circumstance exists that makes the application of the Minimum Standards unduly
burdensome; (ii) the temporary variance is narrowly tailored to address the special
condition or unique circumstance; (iii) the operator has agreed to come into full compliance
with the Minimum Standards within a prescribed schedule; (iv) the schedule is enforceable
by the City; (v) the temporary variance will not create an unfair competitive relationship
among Commercial Aeronautical Operators at the Airport, and (vi) the Airport Director finds
that the temporary variance will not materially interfere with the Commercial Aeronautical
Operator’s ability to provide high quality products, services, and facilities to Airport users.
d. Any temporary waiver or temporary variance approved by the Airport Director hereunder
shall apply only to the specific Commercial Aeronautical Operator and the specific
circumstance and shall not serve to amend, modify, or alter the Minimum Standards nor
shall it serve as a precedent for future actions.
IV. Additive Standards and Conflicts
a. The Minimum Standards are intended to be additive, except where otherwise provided for
herein. A SASO may be required to satisfy multiple requirements hereunder to perform
multiple Commercial Aeronautical Activities.
b. In the event of conflicting Minimum Standards related to a Commercial Aeronautical
Activity, the Commercial Aeronautical Operator will be required to satisfy the higher or more
demanding standard.
c. The Airport Director may permit a SASO conducting multiple Commercial Aeronautical
Activities to satisfy a Minimum Standard that is less than the sum of the requirements for
each Commercial Aeronautical Activity, if the Airport Director finds that each of the
following conditions is satisfied: (i) the off-set will not affect the Commercial Aeronautical
Operator’s ability to provide high quality products, services, and facilities to Airport users
in keeping with the policies hereof; and (ii) the off-set will not create an unfair competitive
advantage among Commercial Aeronautical Operators at the Airport. An off-set granted
pursuant to this provision shall not constitute a temporary waiver or temporary variance as
provided in Section B(III).
d. Aircraft manufacturing may involve multiple Commercial Aeronautical Activities. Each
Aircraft manufacturer subject to this Subdivision III (Minimum Standards) must comply, at
a minimum, with the requirements herein for Aircraft Sales. The conduct of ancillary
services, such as warranty work on Aircraft sold by the manufacturer, shall not, standing
alone, trigger the obligation to comply with the requirements for Airframe and Power Plant
Maintenance or other categories of SASOs.
42
V. Non-Tenant Operators
a. The City intends for all Commercial Aeronautical Operators to lease space at the Airport in
the minimum area prescribed by the Minimum Standards or to have some equivalent
financial commitment to the City in lieu of a Lease. The purpose of this policy is to ensure
that Commercial Aeronautical Operators do not attempt to gain an unfair competitive
advantage by operating without a similar level of financial investment in the Airport and in
their business operation as their competitors. Nevertheless, the City recognizes that there
may be limited instances in which a Commercial Aeronautical Activity may be performed
by a Person that does not directly lease space at the Airport. Specifically, a Person may
be permitted to provide products and services at the Airport upon demonstrating, to the
satisfaction of the Airport Director, that no Commercial Aeronautical Operator leasing
space at the Airport has the requisite certificate, certified personnel, or access to equipment
and parts to provide the product or perform the service or that in lieu of leasing space and
the Person has entered into a Permit and License with the City whereby the Person is
paying a comparable pre-determined fee for the right to operate at the Airport. The Airport
Director may approve a request from a Person meeting these conditions provided that (i)
the Person enters into an Agreement with the Airport identifying the Commercial
Aeronautical Activity that may be performed and the rates and charges assessed for the
privilege of conducting the Commercial Aeronautical Activity, and (ii) the Person satisfies
all other applicable Minimum Standards prescribed herein for the Commercial Aeronautical
Activity. The Airport Director may allow for exceptions on a limited basis such as aircraft
on the ground (AOG). In this event, the Person receiving the benefits of the service bears
all liability for the non-tenant operator.

Exhibit B
to Administrative Order No. 58-22-27-F
FINDINGS
of the City Manager of the City of Eugene
in Consideration of Written Submissions Regarding
Administrative Order No. 58-22-27, Airport Rules and Standards
With regard to written submissions, the City Manager of the City of Eugene finds:
Topic: Self-Fueling Operations
One commenter noted that the self-fueling permitting requirements of Section C, VII could be
interpreted to apply to aircraft temporarily stopping at the Eugene Airport.
Response: The self-fueling permitting requirements are intended to apply to the self-service
operations described in FAA Advisory Circular 150/5190-7, Section 1.3(c) as “the fueling or
servicing of an aircraft (i.e. changing the oil, washing) by the owner of the aircraft with his or her
own employees and using his or her own equipment” (emphasis added). As a result of this comment
the definition of “Self-Service” in the Rules and Standards was amended to clarify that self-service is
only applicable where the servicers own equipment is used. The definition of “Self-Service” now
reads as follows:
Self-Service means the act of tying-down, adjusting, repairing, refueling, cleaning, and otherwise
servicing an Aircraft by a Person, including employees and/or contractors of the Person, that
owns or has exclusive use and operational care, custody, and control of the Aircraft pursuant to a
long-term lease or similar agreement, using such Person’s own equipment.
One commenter perceived conflicting language in Subdivision II – Rules and Regulations,
Section V(a) and Section C II (e), interpreting the rule to mean that itinerant pilots would need to
have a self-fueling permit.
Response: The referenced Section V (a) applies to aircraft owners who want to self-fuel or service
their aircraft. Section V II (e) prevents third-party fuelers to come onto the Airport for the purpose of
direct aircraft fueling. It does not prohibit aircraft owners whose aircraft are based at the Eugene
Airport from self-fueling. No changes are being made to the Rules and Standards as a result of this
comment.
Topic: Specialized Aeronautical Service Operators (SASO)
Two commenters asked whether the Eugene Airport is changing the Minimum Standards to
require all hangar owners to become a SASO.
Response: No, in Subdivision II – Rules and Regulations, Section E, VII (a) only owners of hangars
who are doing business on the field by sub-leasing hangar space will need a SASO agreement. This is
a best-practice recommendation from Landrum & Brown. No changes are being made to the Rules
and Standards as a result of these comments.

Exhibit B
to Administrative Order No. 58-22-27-F
Topic: Non—Aeronautical Property Storage
Several commenters asked why the Eugene Airport is going beyond minimum standards based on
federal policy, stating that there is no Grant Assurance liability with the current FAA document
FAA rule 2016-14133: Policy on the Non-Aeronautical Use of Airport Hangars.
Response: Subdivision II – Rules and Regulations, Section A, VIII. Non-Aeronautical Property
Storage policy is a best practice recommendation from Landrum & Brown. There is Grant Assurance
liability for Airport non-compliance as stated in 14 CFR, Chapter 1, FAA Policy on the Non-
Aeronautical Use of Airport Hangars, Section V. No Right to Non-Aeronautical Use:
In the context of enforcement of the Grant Assurances, this policy allows some incidental storage
of non-aeronautical items in hangars that do not interfere with aeronautical use. However, the
policy neither creates nor constitutes a right to store non-aeronautical items in hangars. Airport
sponsors may restrict or prohibit storage of non-aeronautical items. Sponsors should consider
factors such as emergency access, fire codes, security, insurance, and the impact of vehicular
traffic on their surface areas when enacting rules regarding hangar storage. In some cases,
permitting certain incidental non-aeronautical items in hangars could inhibit the sponsor’s
ability to meet obligations associated with Grant Assurance 19, Operations and Maintenance. To
avoid claims of discrimination, sponsors should impose consistent rules for incidental storage in
all similar facilities at the airport. Sponsors should ensure that taxiways and runways are not
used for the vehicular transport of such items to or from the hangars.
No changes are being made to the Rules and Standards as a result of these comments.
Topic: Ground Vehicles in the AOA
One commenter asked whether the Eugene Airport is prohibiting motorcycles from being used on
the AOA, even motorcycles that are used as a transportation mode to access their hangar.
Response: Subdivision II – Rules and Regulations, Section D, III. Ground Vehicles in the AOA,
Movement Area and Safety Areas, (K) does not prohibit a licensed driver to operate a registered
motorcycle on the AOA. “Recreational” is the key term, for example, motorcycles should not be used
to drive around in the hangar areas or AOA other than for transportation to and from Lease Premises.
No changes are being made to the Rules and Standards as a result of this comment.
Topic: Aircraft Rentals
One commenter asked if the proposed SASO Minimum Standards for Aircraft Rental prevent a
sole-aircraft commercial hangar tenant from renting out their aircraft.
Response: The Subdivision III – Minimum Standards, VI. Aircraft Rental requirement for SASOs is a
best practice recommendation by Landrum & Brown, but alternative agreements may be agreed to in
writing by the Airport Director. No changes are being made to the Rules and Standards as a result of
this comment.

Exhibit B
to Administrative Order No. 58-22-27-F
Topic: Landscape Maintenance
● One commenter stated that installation of the new fuel farm and ground disturbance during
construction caused debris/rocks and increased rodent activity.
Response: This is unrelated to the Rules and Standards administrative order comment period process.
The project is now complete and disturbance from construction is no longer an issue. No changes are
being made to the Rules and Standards as a result of this comment.
Topic: Through-the-fence Operations/Mechanics
● One commenter stated they wanted enforcement of the rule prohibiting through-the-fence
operations.
Response: This is unrelated to the Rules and Standards administrative order comment period process.
Complaints regarding unauthorized mechanics or through-the-fence operations are addressed on a
case by case basis. No changes are being made to the Rules and Standards as a result of this comment.
Topic: Glycol delivery
● One commenter stated they are unhappy with the new fueling/glycol storage facility.
Response: This is unrelated to the Rules and Standards administrative order comment period process.
The new fueling/glycol storage facility was designed with input from Atlantic Aviation, Lawrence
Air Service, and Airline partners. No changes are being made to the Rules and Standards as a result of
this comment.
Topic: De-cing fluid disposal
● One commenter asked about the disposal of de/anti-icing fluids regarding these materials used in
the deicing of aircraft.
Response: Subdivision II – Rules and Regulation, Section X. Toxic Substance Disposal addresses the
disposal of these materials, not the use when deicing aircraft. No changes are being made to the Rules
and Standards as a result of this comment.
Topic: Definition of approved Aviation Activity re: Experimental Aircraft
● One commenter wanted the addition of Experimental Airplanes added to the definition of
approved Aviation Activity.
Response: Subdivision I – Policies and Guidelines, Section A – Definitions, (b) defines Aeronautical
Activity as any activity which involves, makes possible, or is required for the operation of Aircraft, or
which contributes to or is required for the safety of such operations. This would include experimental
airplanes. This definition is aligned with the FAA AC 150/5190-7, Appendix 1. Definitions, 1.1, (a)
Aeronautical Activity:
Page 4 of 5
Exhibit B
to Administrative Order No. 58-22-27-F
Any activity that involves, makes possible, or is required for the operation of aircraft or that contributes
to or is required for the safety of such operations. Activities within this definition, commonly conducted
on airports, include, but are not limited to, the following: general and corporate aviation, air taxi and
charter operations, scheduled and nonscheduled air carrier operations, pilot training, aircraft rental
and sightseeing, aerial photography, crop dusting, aerial advertising and surveying, aircraft sales and
services, aircraft storage, sale of aviation petroleum products, repair and maintenance of aircraft, sale
of aircraft parts, parachute or ultralight activities, and any other activities that, because of their direct
relationship to the operation of aircraft, can appropriately be regarded as aeronautical activities.
Activities, such as model aircraft and model rocket operations, are not aeronautical activities.
No changes are being made to the Rules and Standards as a result of this comment.
Topic: Comment Period Extension Request
● Two commenters requested an extension on comment period deadline and inquired about the
reason for the update to the Airport Rules and Standards.
Response: The following is the response sent to Brad Schuster for dissemination to AOPA members:
1. The Ground Lease – Non-Commercial Rate and Ground Lease – Commercial Lease Rate fee
increases are based on a Market Rent Study conducted in February 2020 by Duncan & Brown
Real Estate Analysts. We held off implementing this rate increase during the pandemic and are
now updating it. Duncan & Brown is the firm the Airport has used for at least a couple of
decades to conduct this analysis about every three years. The ground lease rates are applied
equitably to all ground lease holders to ensure compliance with Grant Assurance 22.) Economic
Nondiscrimination.
2. A couple of years ago, we hired an independent consulting firm, Landrum & Brown, to review all
Finance and Administration processes at the Airport. As part of this process the consultants
reviewed and recommended updating the Airport Rules & Standards to ensure that we are
following FAA regulation, AIP Grant Assurances, and best practices in airport management.
While in revised format, now combined into one document, the new Rules & Standards do not
represent substantive change compared to the current Airport Rules and Minimum Standards.
On September 14, 2022 we held a very well attended GA/Tenant meeting providing information on
the operational and business need to update the Airport Rules and Standards and detail the
administrative rules process. Upon publication submitted to the Register-Guard newspaper, these
administrative orders were immediately disseminated via mail, email, and posted to the Airport and
City of Eugene websites.
No changes are being made to the Rules and Standards as a result of these comments.
Topic: Firearms at the Eugene Airport
● One commenter inquired about whether a concealed handgun license allows an airport patron to
bring a firearm to the Eugene Airport.
Response: The Rules and Standards generally prohibit firearms at the Eugene Airport unless
authorized by Oregon law. The Rules and Standards also specifically prohibit all firearms from the

passenger screening area of the terminal. No changes are being made to the Rules and Standards as a
result of these comments.
