Task
9:
Implementation Plan
Task
10:
Airport Plans
Coordination
Documentation
Details on each of these tasks, including the elements of each and an explanation
of the interaction between the two studies, is contained in the following.
TASK 1: STUDY PURPOSE, GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
In order to assure that the FAR Part 150 Noise Compatibility Plan and Master Plan
Update for the Pueblo Memorial Airport are prepared in accordance with the
needs and desires of the City of Pueblo and are acceptable to the Federal
Aviation Administration, the first task of this proposed approach is the identifica-
tion of the purpose, goals, and objectives of the plans.
Objective
The objective of this phase is to define the goals and objectives of the City of
Pueblo in the Noise Compatibility Plan and Master Plan Update and to identify
special or unique characteristics of the study. This program will provide the
framework upon which comprehensive planning can be constructed for long -
range airport and community development guidance.
Approach
Working with the staff of the Airport and the City Planning Department, the
consultants will initiate a public input process, as well as catalogue expectations
of the various entities that will be affected by the plan into the planning process in
order to provide guidance for the studies and to provide a basis for measuring
success or failure.
Product
A summary of the goals and objectives identified as being pertinent to the
development of the plans will be prepared and presented as the initial chapter of
both the Noise Compatibility Plan and Master Plan Update. These can then be
used to measure the plans' success in accomplishing their individual purposes.
TASK 2: INVENTORY
Objective
The inventory task will include a completion of all existing airport, community, and
environmental factors pertinent to establishing base line conditions for both the
Noise Compatibility Plan and Master Plan; airspace, airport operational
characteristics, historical aircraft activity levels, existing noise conditions, industrial
area development, on- and - off - airport land uses, access and traffic patterns, and
airport finances will be documented. All other airport- related issues and
institutional mechanisms at Pueblo Memorial Airport will also be documented.
Approach
A three -step procedure will be used in task completion: Data Collection, Analysis
and Coordination, and Data Reporting. The first step, Data Collection, relates
directly to assembling available information from numerous sources. Data Analy-
sis and Coordination involves the interpretation and extrapolation of the various
data sources in order to provide for correlating data points when relationships are
expected. Finally, Data Reporting consists of the preparation of a report that will
relate the planning baseline to report users for their consideration when
implementation issues arise.
Since establishment of this base of project information is vital to the preparation of
the plan, it is important that the most current information available be used.
Collection efforts will therefore be directed at locating information sources which
will update the information contained in the relevant documents.
In gathering baseline data the City of Pueblo and the Airport Manager will be
depended upon to consistently provide the most current information available
from their sources.
Airport Inventory
The airport inventory will document those conditions related to Pueblo Memorial
Airport. Information collected will include airport facilities, airspace conditions,
2
activity statistics, financial reports, and historical development. Details on the data
assembled is as follows:
o Airaide Facilities. The history of the development of Pueblo Memorial
Airport will be compiled from its inception through July 1988.
Runways, taxiways, apron areas, airfield navigational aids, and lighting
existing at this point in time will also be identified. Existing instrument
approach capabilities and man -made and natural obstructions will also
be documented.
o Landside Facilities. Airport landside facilities to be inventoried will
include:
- Terminal Area
- Air Cargo Facilities
- Utilities
- Industrial Park Area
An update of the existing terminal area facilities will be compiled,
including considerations of how passengers and tenants use facilities.
The location, configuration, and capacity of all automobile parking
facilities (short-term, long -term, rental car, and employee) will be docu-
mented for the base case. Also, the layout of internal circulation
roadways and terminal area access roads will be identified. An
inventory of traffic movements and generation data, use patterns, and
terminal curb use characteristics will be assembled.
Air cargo handlers operating at the airport will be identified and their
existing and planned facilities defined.
The location of all airport tenant lease lots and improvements
associated with each lease lot will be documented. To the extent
possible, future development plans for these will be determined.
Aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF), airport and aircraft
maintenance, and fuel storage and distribution facilities will be docu-
mented.
The utility infrastructures supporting airport development, including
water, sewage, storm water, telephone, electrical, and gas will be
identified from existing current documents.
Current tenants, roadway system and use patterns in the airport
industrial park will be documented as will land available for future
development; any developmental restrictions, and existing demand for
development parcels.
o Fuel Farm. An inventory of the existing fuel storage and distribution
systems will be prepared to identify the following:
3
Owner /Operation
Underground /Above- Ground Storage
Size, Age, and Condition of Facilities
Available Storage Capacity
Existing Delivery System
Fire Protection Facilities
o Airspace Structure and Navigational Aids. Airspace use in the
vicinity of Pueblo Memorial Airport will be documented and
navigational aids and communication facilities will be identified. This
includes considerations of all required facilities and operational
procedures existing at the time of inventory data collection. Aircraft
flight tracks will be documented through field observations,
discussions of procedures with Air Traffic Control personnel, and
tracings from the radar screens in the tower.
From existing data, man -made and natural obstructions which affect
the use of the airspace will be documented. Existing flight patterns
and designated approach procedures and constraints to altering
these will be identified for both fixed -wing and rotary-wing aircraft.
o On- Airport Land Use. On- airport land use and the relationship of the
patterns of use will be documented to serve as the basis for
completion of the Airport Land Use Plan. Information on the airport
will be derived from on -site work. Included will be a determination of
vacant or underutilized airport property.
o Financial Data. Financial data and information associated with the
present operation of the airport and currently planned development
will be provided by the City and will include the following:
- Financial reports for a minimum of five fiscal years (1982 -1987)
- Current airport contracts, leases, and other property
management documents
- Chart of Accounts
- Administration of all Cost Centers
- A historical cash flow analysis for a minimum of five fiscal years
o Airport Activity. Existing records relative to aviation activity at Pueblo
Memorial Airport will be collected for a minimum of five calendar years
ending in December of 1987. Sources of this information will include
the Pueblo Air Traffic Control Tower records and Airport records.
These data will be used as the basis for the aviation forecasts.
o Airport Certification. A review of the current certification
requirements of the airport will be completed. This review will docu-
ment current operating certificates required at the airport, the
requirements to maintain these certificates, and any action needed.
4
Community Inventory
Another area where inventory efforts will be concentrated is the community of
which Pueblo Memorial Airport is a part. This community will include not only the
City of Pueblo but all of Pueblo County. The areas where information will be
collected are as follows:
o Socioeconomic Data. Socioeconomic factors likely to affect air
transportation demand at the airport will be identified and information
regarding these factors will be collected from available sources. Likely
factors to be studied include economic indicators, growth patterns
(both local and regional), and population characteristics, distribution,
and numbers. Both historical and forecast data will be collected on an
as- available basis.
o Land Use and Zoning. Current patterns of land use and ownership
will be documented as they relate to airport operational
characteristics. Additionally, local zoning regulations or local or
regional land use plans that will impact changes to these patterns will
be documented. Existing and planned community land use informa-
tion will be obtained from local land use planning and zoning agencies.
o Noise Environment. Noise contours will be developed for the
existing 1988 base case conditions. These contours will represent
average day activity levels and will be developed using the Integrated
Noise Model (INM) Version 3.9. The Ldn 65, 70 and 75 noise
contours will be plotted onto an up -to -date base map depicting
existing conditions in the impacted area.
Census data available from the City and /or County will be gathered
and applicable portions of this data will be utilized to estimate the
numbers of people presently within the noise contours.
o Jurisdictional Responsibilities. Within the existing noise contours
political jurisdictions being impacted will be identified for all property
that is not part of the airport or the industrial park.
o Analysis of Land Use Control Available. A review of Pueblo County
and City of Pueblo zoning regulations and other appropriate planning
data will be made to determine the extent of land use control now
available. This data will include any noise controls, height restrictions,
energy controls (insulation requirements which may have a positive
effect on reducing noise), and other related controls. This data will be
documented within the Part 150 report.
o Identification of Non - Compatible Land Uses. All non - compatible
land uses, whether existing or proposed, will be identified within the
noise contours for the base case. These uses could include, but not
be limited to, schools, churches, residential communities and parks.
5
o Location of Noise- Sensitive Public Buildings. All noise - sensitive
public buildings located within the Ldn contours will be documented
and shown on the noise contour map.
o Noise Monitoring Sites. Noise monitoring will be conducted to assist
in identifying the noise impacts presently occurring beneath aircraft
approach and departure corridors. The monitoring will have two key
purposes: first, to determine background ambient noise levels; and
second, to determine the peak noise level conditions experienced
when aircraft fly over. The monitoring would consist of approximately
five locations with about six hours at each location. A summary of the
results of the monitoring will be prepared after reducing the data
developed in the field.
Product
Inventory data will be summarized in a Master Plan Update chapter. A combined
narrative, graphic, and tabular presentation will be used to assure that the
information presented is easily understandable. This chapter will be submitted to
the Airport Department for review and approval so that a data base for the
remainder of the plan is formally approved as to its accuracy.
TASK 3: FORECASTS OF DEMAND
Objective
The purpose of this task is to develop estimates of short, intermediate, and long-
term aviation activity levels at the Pueblo Memorial Airport. These estimates will
be critical to the study not only because they are essential for determining future
airport requirements, analyzing alternative development plans, assessing the
environmental effects of proposed plans, and determining the economic
implications of future growth and development, but also because the short-term
estimates are used in analyzing potential noise impacts for the Part 150 study.
Components of aviation demand at the Pueblo Memorial Airport that will be
forecast include:
o Air Carrier Activity:
- Passenger Enplanements
- Operational Fleet Mix
- Aircraft Operations
- Operational Peaking
o Air Cargo Activity
o Air Taxi Operations
C-1
o General Aviation Activity:
- Based Aircraft at Pueblo Memorial Airport
- Based Aircraft Fleet Mix
- Aircraft Operations
- Operational Peaking
o Military Operations:
Fleet Mix
Operations
Operational Peaking
o Instrument Operations and Approaches
o Airfield Parking Characteristics
o Surface Access Activity
Approach
In preparing the forecast, the consultant will employ standard statistical modeling
techniques, including simple regression analysis, multiple regression analysis,
market share analysis, and socioeconomic analysis. In addition, the consultant
will survey the existing air carriers operating at Pueblo Memorial Airport to
determine plans for new routes, changes in scheduling, and the need for facility
improvements. A comprehensive review and assessment of existing studies and
forecast materials will be conducted in conjunction with the independently
produced projections. This review will include the previous master plan, FAA
Aviation Forecasts, FAA Terminal Area Forecasts, and the Colorado Airport
System Plan. Using a combination of the projections made in step one and any
valid forecasts previously produced, a preferred forecast of aviation demand for
each activity sector will be selected. This forecast will consider both airport-
specific and possible regional influences.
Future Noise Exposure
Using the forecasts of aviation demand for the short -term (five -year) time frame,
Ldn contours will be generated for the 1993 case. These contours will depict Ldn
65, 70, and 75 noise zones in the year 1993 if no action is taken. Using the same
procedure as outlined in Task 2, discussion of noise environment, an assessment
of the impact that this noise will have will be documented with regard to
jurisdictions, land uses, and noise - sensitive buildings. This documentation will be
part of the noise exposure maps submittal.
Product
Chapter 3 of the Master Plan Update will present the forecast of aviation demand
for Pueblo Memorial Airport. This chapter will be a combined narrative, tabular,
and graphic presentation that conveys the assumptions, techniques, and results
7
of the numerous analyses in a manner that is easily understood. The short-term
(1993) activity forecasts will be summarized and included as a chapter in the Part
150 Study to explain potential future noise impacts and analyze alternative
mitigation plans. This chapter will be submitted to the FAA for their approval prior
to using the data as the basis for subsequent work tasks.
The inventory will also be used to produce the noise exposure map portion of the
FAR Part 150 Noise Compatibility Plan. This portion will consist of several
chapters designed to define the existing noise conditions and their impacts. This
will mark the first formal submission of the Noise Exposure Map to the FAA for
their review and acceptance prior to preparation of Phase 11 of the Noise
Compatibility Plan. Included in this submission will be an analysis of 1993 noise
impacts under a no- change scenario. -
TASK 4: CAPACITY ANALYSIS
Objective
The objective of the capacity analysis is to determine the ability of both airside and
landside facilities at the Pueblo Memorial Airport to accommodate the forecast
future activity levels. Through this analysis and a comparison of the results with
the accepted demand forecasts, facility deficiencies are identified and facility
requirements can be determined.
Approach
The capacity of the existing facilities will be examined to serve as a basis for
determining the capability of the existing airport to accommodate future levels of
activity. Areas to be examined include:
o Airfield
o Terminal Building and Related Facilities
o Air Cargo Areas
o General Aviation Areas
o Airport Access Roadways
o Industrial Area Access System
The airfield capacities will be developed using FAA Advisory Circular 150/5060 -5,
"Airport Capacity and Delay." Capacity for Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) and Visual
Flight Rule (VFR) conditions in terms of peak hour capacity, annual service
volume, and annual delay expressed in both hours and dollars will be calculated.
The capacity of the passenger terminal facilities, including the terminal building,
airplane parking positions, and auto parking facilities, will be determined using
consultant - developed simulation models. Air cargo areas, general aviation
facilities, and the Industrial Park will be evaluated based on an analysis of existing
conditions and use patterns at the airport.
0
Product
The capacity analysis for the facilities at the Pueblo Memorial Airport will be
calculated and compared with applicable aviation demand forecasts. Facility
deficiencies will be identified and resultant delay levels documented. A combined
narrative, graphic, and tabular presentation will be prepared for incorporation into
the final Master Plan Update report as Chapter 4.
TASK 5: FACILITY REQUIREMENTS
Objective
The objective of the facility requirements task is to compare existing facilities and
operations with demand projections in order to determine what additional facilities
will be required and when they should be anticipated.
Approach
Facility requirements will be determined for the five -, ten -, and twenty -year
planning periods correspondent with the forecast time frame. Facility
requirements will be developed corresponding to two factors.
o FAA design standards and criteria, as specified in various Orders and
Advisory Circulars.
o Facility requirements associated with each phase of development.
Based on the forecasts of demand and the capacity analysis, facilities
will be recommended according to incremental needs.
This task will result in an identification of airport facility needs in numerous areas
or categories for Pueblo Memorial Airport. The consultants will identify needed
facilities, as indicated by the examination of existing facilities, the capacity
analyses, and the forecasts of demand. This identification will also include the
anticipated timing of the improvements, that is, whether they are short,
intermediate, or long -range needs. Among the areas which will be subjected to
this detailed analysis are:
- Runways
- Taxiways
- Aircraft Ramp
- Auto Parking
- Terminal Facilities
- Lighting and Navaids
- Fixed Base Operator (FBO) and Other General Aviation Facilities
- Access Facilities
The future requirements will provide the basis for evaluation of alternative
development actions that might be adopted to satisfy the need for added and
improved facilities.
9
Product
The facility requirements determined for the airport will be presented in the five -,
ten -, and twenty -year time frames based on activity projections. Narrative,
tabular, and graphic information will be combined to present the methodologies
used and results of the analyses, to be included in the Master Plan Update as
Chapter 5.
TASK 6: ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES
Objective
Within the framework of the existing airport infrastructure, a new plan describing
the size, location, and implementation schedule of airport facilities must be
developed. The objectives of this element are to formulate a number of airport
development alternatives consistent with the results of the previous plans and
established patterns and then to test the demand /capacity relationship and
potential impacts associated with the implementation of each. At the conclusion
of the evaluation, one alternative will be selected for detailed airport planning.
Approach
During this portion of the study alternative configurations that will allow Pueblo
Memorial Airport to meet calculated facility requirements will be generated and
evaluated. The evaluation and selection method employed will be a sequential
decision - making process. The first step will be an exclusionary analysis. In this
step alternatives will be tested to determine which do and do not successfully fulfill
the previously established goals and objectives established for the airport. Those
which fail will be excluded. The next step will be a comparative analysis. In this, a
maximum of three feasible alternatives will be compared with one another to
determine the trade -offs which exist among them.
Each alternative to be evaluated will be cogently and consistently described. The
alternatives will be tested to ascertain the extent to which they meet the specified
needs. Limits set by policy, priorities, and /or other influencing factors will be
reflected in the process.
In evaluating alternatives it will be assumed that relevant policy considerations will
be maintained. These include: meeting forecast demand, maximizing
compatibility with surrounding communities, ensuring environmental compatibility,
and reinforcing the plans and policies of other governmental units which promote
compatibility.
The work on this task will proceed in separate but interrelated functional areas.
These areas are: the airfield layout, the terminal area layout, the surface access
and parking layout, the general aviation area layout, and the air cargo layout.
The evaluation will be structured in such a way that it focuses on the distinctions
and trade -offs among alternative courses of action. The technical analysis will
deal with airside /landside facility separations and clear zone requirements, as well

Each of these are described as follows.
Approach
7 1 Alternative Analys
Advisory Circular 150/5020 -1 indicates eleven Each 1 of these will be discussed measures
which, as a minimum, must be consrde ro irate, will be included
the operations and technical committees and, where app p
in alternative scenarios developed.
These include:
o Use of preferential runway patterns;
o Reorientation and /or shortening of any planned new runways;
o Displacement of runway thresholds;
0 Construction of runway extensions; 11
o Construction of new runways;
o Changes in aircraft approach and departure flight tracks;
o Changes in aircraft approach and departure flight profiles;
o Limitations on the types of aircraft using certain runways at the Airport,
quotas on daily operations, and curfews;
o Increase in the proportion of quieter aircraft;
o Use of instrument landing systems and microwave landing systems;
o Revisions to aircraft taxi procedures;
o Use of insulation to soundproof buildings being exposed to
unacceptable noise levels.
o Development of physical barriers and additional landscaping in buffer
areas; and
o Imposition of controls for engine runups and testing;
In addition, any major airfield improvement recommended in the Master Plan will
be examined in this analysis. Inclusion of these improvements will not be limited
to the short-term period. Any physical or operational change contemplated for
the airport over the twenty -year period will be examined using 1992 activity levels
as a judgment case.
Alternatives considered will be described and the reasons for rejection of any
alternative will be documented in the Part 150 report. Evaluation criteria will
include factors such as:
o Degree of noise reduction;
o Consistency with Pueblo Memorial Airport policies;
o Impacts on airfield capacity and delay;
o Airspace /ATC capability and effects on other airports;
o Consistency with airport and flight safety standards of FAA;
o Fuel consumption and other environmental considerations;
o Effect on airport users;
o Effects on airfield configuration;
o Operational benefits and costs;
12
o Ability to monitor conformance with proposed procedures; and
o Desirability and feasibility of early implementation.
Each noise mitigation measure which is included in the recommended scenario
will be described in the Part 150 report. An explanation of the respective noise
benefits will also be included..
7.2 Future Impact Analysis
The likely impacts without the Part 150 study, as described in the Noise Exposure
Map submission, will be compared with the anticipated impact of the
recommended plan. It is anticipated that the greatest benefit from this program
will be the development of noise - related land use controls in future high -noise
areas. The impact of the program will be described as a comparison of what
would likely happen without noise - related information and control versus the
anticipated results with the recommended plan.
Government actions and funding sources for each noise reduction measure
necessary to implement the noise control plan will be summarized as part of this
study.
The types of mitigation actions to be considered for possible implementation by.
other affected agencies and political jurisdictions include:
o Amendments to land use and circulation elements of applicable
comprehensive plans to reflect noise - related implications of aircraft
operations;
o Acquisition and land use conversion programs;
o Aviation easements;
o Transfer of development rights;
o Redevelopment;
o Zoning, to reinforce existing compatible land uses, promote the
location of future compatible uses, and convert existing incompatible
uses to compatible uses over time;
o Subdivision regulations;
o Urban growth management policies and procedures;
o Timing of public capital improvement projects;
o Acoustical treatment, including changes in building codes to require
acoustical treatment for all new noise - sensitive land uses in high
noise - exposure areas;
13
o "Truth in Sales" requirements that would disclose existing noise
conditions and /or avigation easements to prospective buyers of
property exposed to high noise exposure levels; and
o Building standards for new construction in the vicinity of airports.
Product
The result of this task will be submission to the FAA of Phase II, Noise
Compatibility Plan, of the FAR Part 150 Plan. This phase will consist of appropri-
ate documentation to describe the procedures used, results of analyses,
decision - making process, and recommendations of the Noise Compatibility Plan.
This information will be submitted to FAA for formal approval of the plan.
TASK S: ENVIRONMENTAL OVERVIEW
Objective
This task is designed to evaluate the impact that proposed new facilities at Pueblo
Memorial Airport will have on the surrounding environment. Potential conflicts
with area resources, as well as permits, licenses, or other approvals that may be
required for future airport development, will be identified, but not solutions. This
environmental analysis will serve as a scoping document to identify which devel-
opment items are likely to require environmental approvals prior to implementa-
tion.
Approach
The specific issues to be addressed and format to be followed in the
environmental overview are outlined in FAA Order 5050.4A, "Airport Environmen-
tal Handbook." Particular attention will be paid to identifying potential future
problem areas that may require detailed environmental impact assessments over
the course of plan implementation. Specific areas to be analyzed are:
o Noise: As detailed in the Part 150 Plan and for the year 2008 under
both build and "no- build" conditions
o Compatible Land Use: Both existing and planned
o Social Impacts
o Air Quality
o Water Quality
o Section 4(f) Lands
o Historic, Architectural, Archaeological, and Cultural Resources
o Biotic Communities: Flora and Fauna
14
o Endangered and Threatened Species: Federal, state, or local
o Wetlands
o Floodplains
o Prime and Unique Farmland
o Energy Supply and Natural Resources.
o Light Emissions
o Solid Wastes
o Construction Impacts
o Other Considerations
Obviously not all of these impact categories will require detailed investigations.
Some, like the noise analysis, can be identified as requiring specific analyses at
this point, while others are highly dependent on the levels of activity forecast or
the types of improvements recommended.
Product
A chapter will be included in the Master Plan Update that presents the findings of
the analysis. This presentation will include narrative, graphic, and tabular
materials that convey the findings in a clear, understandable manner. The
chapter will serve as the basis for the scoping process required to determine
whether environmental assessments are required for any individual project and, if
so, what the primary areas of concern are.
TASK 9: IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Objective
The objective of this phase is to evaluate the financial feasibility of proposed
improvements both as individual projects and in the aggregate as planned phases
of future development. The planned phases are the five -, ten -, and twenty -year
time frames. Four elements are included in this task.
o Development Cost Estimates
o Capital Improvement Program
o Economic Analysis
o Financial Implementation Plan
Each of these elements is described in detail in the following.
15
Approach
Development Cost Estimates
Capital cost estimates will be prepared for the actions included in the
recommended development plan. These estimates, to be used in evaluating the
economic feasibility of the actions, will include:
o Land Acquisition, if any
o Construction Costs
o Part 150 Recommendations
o Fees and Contingencies
Land acquisition cost estimates will encompass any land to be acquired at the
airport, including land for facilities, clear zone protection, and noise buffer zones.
Construction cost estimates will include the construction of new airport facilities
such as runways, taxiways, lighting, terminal facilities, hangars, and apron areas.
Part 150 recommendations could include building insulation programs, land
acquisition, residential relocation, or other noise impact mitigation measures not
involving actual airport construction. Estimates of fees and contingencies will be
based on a percentage of the total costs. All cost estimates will be prepared in
current -year dollars.
Capital Improvement Program
A schedule for developing proposed facilities in the five -, ten -, and twenty -year
periods will be prepared in this task. These recommendations will be depicted
graphically on the master plan drawings and will be described with narrative and
tabular material in the master plan report. The proposed schedule will include
timing for airport development, access facilities, and other aspects of the
development program.
The initial five -year plan will be in the form of a five -year Capital Improvement
Program that includes prioritization, timing, and costs. Financial feasibility will be
a primary goal of this CIP.
Economic Analysis
In this task, the consultants will assess the economic feasibility of the
development program recommended for Pueblo Memorial Airport. This determi-
nation involves the projection of airport revenues and expenses to identify any
surplus funds that may be available.
Historic and projected operating expenses will be prepared for the entire planning
period on an annual basis. Future expenses will be based upon the selected
development plans. Operating expenses to be examined and projected include
those associated with airport operations, maintenance, and administration.
After an analysis of historic revenue generation at Pueblo Memorial Airport, the
consultants will prepare projections of revenues throughout the planning period.
U
Revenue projections will be based upon the selected development plans, the
nature of various use agreements, and the nature of past requirements.
The estimated cost of capital improvements recommended for the Pueblo
Memorial Airport will be compared to the Revenue and Expense analysis to
determine if surplus revenues will be adequate to finance capital improvements at
the airport. Two approaches to this will be used. The first will examine the
traditional airport financing technique assuming Federal participation in all eligible
airport projects at the maximum allowable share of project cost (90 percent).
Recognizing that funding at this level is not guaranteed since it requires
commitment of money from FAA discretionary funds that are not sufficient to fill all
of the demand placed on them, a second analysis will be performed. This analy-
sis will assume that the only federal funding available to finance the improvements
at the airport will be the enplanement funds specified for the airport based on the
number of passengers using the facility.
A year -by -year comparison will be made among operating costs, capital costs,
and revenues to arrive at a total projected annual cash flow for each year during
the planning period. The annual cash flows will then serve as a basis for
projecting future financial conditions at the airport. Under this approach, the
consultants will examine existing rates and charges to determine their applicability
to future years and needs. Consideration will be given to alternative rate levels
that will be reflective of industry trends, prevailing conditions at similar airports,
and unique local circumstances. Thus, a preferred schedule of rates and charges
will be selected for use in the preparation of revenue projections and ultimate
assessment of the proposed development program.
Financial Implementation Plan
Upon completion of the economic feasibility determination, a financial plan will be
prepared that includes analyses of revenue available from various sources and
expenses attributable to capital improvements funding, operations, maintenance,
and administration.
Product
Financial feasibility of proposed projects by planning phase will be accounted for
both in the individual and the aggregate. The findings will be in narrative, graphic,
and tabular form as appropriate. The Master Plan Update will include a summary
of this information as Chapter 8.
TASK 10: AIRPORT PLANS
Objective
The purpose of this phase of the Master Plan Update for Pueblo Memorial Airport
is to graphically depict the total development program recommended in previous
phases and provide a synopsis of the reasoning that went into various
development decisions, as well as the highlights of each plan.
17
Approach
Previous work phases have concentrated on determining the needs of the Pueblo
Memorial Airport and deciding upon the optimum way to meet those needs. In
this phase the recommended improvements are presented graphically in the form
of master planning drawings. _
These drawings, commonly referred to as the airport layout plans package, will
provide the physical details of the twenty -year development plan. The primary
drawing is the Airport Layout Plan (ALP), which is the overall development plan for
the airport showing both existing and proposed facilities. This plan is used most
frequently in day -to -day airport development decisions. It is a common practice
to update it upon completion of any airport improvement. However, the ALP is
not meant to be used independently of the other drawings. The total package
consists of the ALP and a series �n order p ma nWannanhntegrat d base for airport
They should all be kept current port
planning. The drawings proposed herein include:
- Airport Layout Plan
- Airport Data Sheet
- Terminal Area Plan
- General Aviation Areas Plan
- Surface Access Plan
- Airspace Plan
- Approach and Clear Zone Plans
- Airport Land Use Plan
- Airport- Community Land Use Plan
- Industrial Area Plan
A discussion of each of these drawings is presented in the following pages.

needed to properly interpret the ALP's graphic information.
18
Terminal Area Plan
The terminal area plan will describe the existing and proposed terminal area,
including all related access and service facilities. Associated commercial
development areas will be depicted, together with details of the airline apron and
ramp areas.
General Aviation Area Plan(s)
This plan will delineate existing and planned improvements to general aviation
facilities in terms of their location and concept of development at the airport.
Included will be hangars, taxiways, fueling facilities, access roadways, vehicle
parking, and aircraft parking areas. Both conventional and T- hangar
development will be depicted in these plans.
Surface Access Plan
This task will comprise preparation of the circulation plan, based on the
information generated in previous tasks. The plan will establish a functional road-
way system to serve terminal areas, general aviation facilities, and industrial
facilities. The development of the circulation plan will include an analysis of
proposed connections to the adjacent, local street system.
Airspace Plan
Airspace drawings, prepared in accordance with FAR Part 77, will be prepared by
the consultants for the airport and submitted to the FAA for review and approval.
All horizontal, conical, approach, and transitional surfaces will be depicted,
together with an isometric sectional view of the airport's airspace. The airspace
plan will be prepared on screened U.S.G.S. basemaps.
Approach and Clear Zone Plans
Approach and clear zone plans will be prepared depicting each runway approach,
existing and proposed at the airport. Existing and potential obstructions to air
navigation will be described graphically and in tabular fashion, together with
representations of all approach surfaces.
Airport Land Use Plan
A map of all airport property will be prepared, and plans for the future
development of all land at the airport will be described in detail. Included on each
drawing will be:
- Airport Operations Areas
- Terminal Area
- General Aviation Areas
- Ground Access System
- Service Facilities
19
Industrial /Commercial Development Areas
Other
Airport- Commundy Land Use Plan
A summary planning drawing of the airport's environs will be prepared depicting
noise contours for base case and year 2008 conditions and existing land uses for
the ultimate airport development. This plan will be coordinated with local planning
agencies to ensure that it is as accurate as possible.
Industrial Area Plan
A separate plan will be prepared depicting those portions of airport property that
are not being used for aviation purposes. This plan will present the results of
previously conducted and accepted plans for the Pueblo Memorial Airport
Industrial Park.
Product
Two distinct but related products result from this work phase. First, a full -sized
set of reproducible airport plans complying with the requirements of the FAA
Denver Airports District Office will be provided for use in continued airport
decision- making. All planning drawings will be prepared using CADD technology.
Reproducible mylar drawings of each plan will be provided to the Airport, as will
the computer disks containing the electronic information used to create the
mylars.
In addition to this, a Master Plan Update report chapter will be prepared
containing reduced -size copies of the plan drawings as well as a narrative
detailing the highlights of each.
COORDINATION
The coordination program for the Pueblo Memorial Airport Noise Compatibility
Plan and Master Plan Update is directed toward the following two groups of
participants:
o The general public; and
o Those participants involved in managing and administering the study,
such as the City of Pueblo, other City agencies, Technical
Committees, and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
The study coordination program proposed is tailored to be responsive to local
problems and issues, while at the same time considering state and federal
guidelines. Each facet of the coordination process is described in the following
sections.
20
Technical Advisory Committee
A Technical Advisory Committee, appointed by the City with the assistance of the
consultants, will be established to assist in the development of the Noise Compati-
bility Plan and Master Plan. This committee could include representatives from:
o Local government
o Airport users
o Area business people
o Environmental groups
o Other interested groups
The City's staff will be responsible for establishing meeting dates, determining
format and agenda, and consultants will conduct the sessions. The consultants
will prepare the necessary materials for the meetings and will be present to
discuss the appropriate agenda items. The inputs and responses received from
the TAC members during the meetings, or through letter comments, will receive
the attention of the consultant staff.
Five TAC meetings are recommended during the study. These meetings will be
held at the following times:
- At the completion of the noise exposure maps
- At the completion of the facility requirements and during the identifica-
tion of alternatives
- At the conclusion of the evaluation of alternatives
- After completion of the Noise Compatibility Plan
- At the conclusion of the Airport Master Plan
Public Coordination and Participation Program
The public coordination and participation program is aimed at encouraging an
awareness among the public of the airport planning and development process
and the costs and benefits of airport development. Additionally, this program will
be used to solicit feedback from the public concerning interim study conclusions
and recommendations.
The public should be kept well informed with respect to all relevant findings of the
study. Therefore, a series of public information meetings will be held at appropri-
ate milestones in the study. The invited public will be solicited from the following
groups:
- Citizens' environmental groups
- General aviation and airline representatives
- Area business people
- Residents in the vicinity of the airport
- Interested general public
The locations of the meetings will be determined by the Airport Manager prior to
their scheduling and announcement. The meetings are recommended to be
