SMF637

Goals

Establish the Optimal Airport Plan: Provide airport plans that are effective and can be implemented to continue to meet regional needs and enhance both SMF’s and the community’s status.

Maintain Affordability: Develop cost effective airport improvements that will assist in meeting projected growth through the year 2035. Identify methods to increase non‐aviation related revenue generation, thereby reducing costs to airlines operating at SMF.

Enhance Customer Service: Recommend changes and improvements that will enhance and improve the customer experience (in a cost effective manner).

The following goals were identified by SCAS

“We create a superior customer experience through collaboration and continuous

improvement”



SMF637

The Way Forward

Vision: Northern California’s Gateway to the World

Challenges– Balance achievement of vision with economic realities–Develop a rational plan– Communicate plan and rationale to stakeholders

The Way Forward–Define the market– Enhance SMF's role as economic catalyst– Emphasize non‐aviation revenue– Fine tune and integrate existing plans– Prepare a sustainable, affordable, and flexible long‐range plan

Overarching issue – Identifying and realizing opportunities for air service growthand revenue enhancement in a period of slow economic growth



SMF637

Background

Airport master plans are prepared to support the modernization or expansion of existing airports or the creation of a new airport

The master plan is the sponsor’s strategy for the development of the airport

The goal is to guide future airport development that will cost‐effectively satisfy aviation demand, while considering potential environmental and socioeconomic impacts

An Airport Master Plan is a concept for long‐term development

Background (continued)



SMF637

Areas of Emphasis – ForecastsSound rationale exists for forecast growth outside the allowed variance from the FAA TAF

FAA 2011 Terminal Area Forecasts (TAF) underestimate demand for SMF’s international service

– No growth forecast in international passengers

– Mexicana bankruptcy and national economic recession temporarily disrupted international service development

– Hispanic population is 25% of SMF's service region (1.2 million); strong ties to Mexico

– New service to Mexico by AeroMexico and Volaris

– Southwest (major carrier at SMF) now providing international service

SMF's catchment area is expected to expand

Sacramento business community has global connections and long‐term demand for international service



SMF637

Areas of Emphasis – Airfield Planning

Potential Extension to Runway 16L/34R

– Length

–Geometry

– Purpose and need to satisfy NEPA

– Challenges: environmental to the north, light rail/roadway/environmental to the south

Review Taxiway System

– Capacity

–Geometric standards

Two key elements to be evaluated



SMF637

Areas of Emphasis – Passenger Terminal

SCAS has already identified expansion options

– Conversion of Terminal A to an airside concourse (and closure of its landside components)

– Expansion of Concourse A to construct additional aircraft parking positions and holdrooms

– Expansion of Terminal B to the south

Focus will be on identifying the triggers that will drive the timing and sequencing of expansion projects

Capacity is adequate for the near‐term and possibly well into the long‐term future



SMF637

Areas of Emphasis – Ground Transportation

Timing and financial plan for the development of Garage B

Implementation of the long‐range roadway plan

Assess and provide guidance for maximizing parking revenue

We will also consider other current ground transportation planning efforts

– Recent closure of Economy Lot sections 43 and 44

– Consolidation of Hourly B and Surface B exit plazas

– Modifications to Economy Lot busing operations

– Parking revenue control improvements



SMF637

Areas of Emphasis – Airport Support Facilities

Air Cargo

General Aviation

Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting

Fuel

Aircraft Maintenance

Airport Maintenance

We will develop and evaluate the approximate sizes and locations for support facilities



SMF637

Areas of Emphasis – Commercial Development

AIRPORTS are MULTIMODAL &MULTIFUNCTIONAL ENTERPRISES generating considerable commercial development in and beyond their boundaries

Leveraging Airport Land Assets Generates Major Non‐Aeronautical

Revenue Streams

Shifting the traditional ratio of aeronautical to non‐aeronautical revenues from 70/30 to

30/70.

The Physical Internet:Connecting People, High Value

Products & InformationLeveraging Airport Connectivity for

Economic Development

Leveraging the airport asset



SMF637

Areas of Emphasis – Environmental & Land Use

Many sensitive environmental attributes on and around SMF

Focus on the analysis of impacts of proposed improvements and potential mitigation requirements and costs

Evaluate the SMF’s opportunities and challenges for potential commercial development

Consistency with the County’s and City’s development plans

Environmental trade‐offs will involve overlapping resource concerns



SMF637

Areas of Emphasis – Business PlanningThe financial success of SMF is a high priority

Forecasting

• Market-based forecasts

• Robust analysis of the air service market to determine potential future demand

• Catchment area study will be conducted to determine overlap with Bay Area airports

• Opportunities for new or expanded route development

Revenue Enhancement

• Review tenant rates and charges and recommend changes needed to increase revenues

• Explore market conditions for commercial development opportunities on SMF’s existing property not needed for aeronautical purposes and for under-performing and/or vacant terminal space

CIP & Implementation

• 20-year CIP inclusive of an assessment of the ability to fund it.

• Phasing plan with demand triggers for proposed improvements, sources and uses of funds needed to implement discreet projects, regulatory requirements and implementation responsibilities.



SMF637

Areas of Emphasis – Stakeholder Engagement

Objective – engage community in master plan process

Approach – tailored to specific stakeholders

– Technical advisory committee

– Planning professionals group

– In‐person meetings

– Public workshops

– Project website

Stakeholder engagement is a key component
