DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER C. Mgr. Subject: REGIONAL AIRPORT RELOCATION - INSTRUCTION TO CPO DELEGATE Statement of the Matter This item has been placed on the agenda at the request of the City's delegate -to CPO. Lindbergh Field has been designated "as the site most suitable for serving the commercial air transportation needs of the San Diego region through 1995." The question yet to be answered is "how will the region's commercial air transportation needs be met beyond 1995?" As indicated in the attached report, CPO proposes to study four possible sites and to present a summary of the study to an "appropriate electorate" at the June 1980 primary election to determine.whether another site (other than Lindbergh Field) should be considered for the time period beyond 1995. If the electorate indicates another site should be considered,- alternate sites would-be considered by the electorate at the November 1980 general election. The Council may desire to discuss the process outlined and instruct its CPO delegate on the issue. Exhibit CPO Report dated October 30, 1979. I f r Council Action: - S 11-6-79 Council directed their CPO delegate to express favor for placement on the ballot of whether another site other than Lindbergh Field should be considered as the location for a regional,airport after 1995, but expressed concern about placing alternate sites on a subsequent election. ,4 i October 30, 1979 COMPREHENSIVE C) "PLANNING ORGANIZATION Suite 524, Security Pacific Plaza AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT PLAN REVISION 1200 Third Avenue San Diego, California 92101 (714) 236.5300 The future of Lindbergh Field as the region's commercial aviation facility has been an issue for several decades. The convenience of a downtown airport is indisputable; however, there is a growing Concern that the limitations of Lindbergh Field are inhibiting economiti growth in the San Diego region. Noise problems in areas surrounding Lindbergh are also indisputable, and would be Moth expensive and disruptive to resolve. There is also a growing awareness of the economic value of the Lindbergh site for urban and recreation use. And finally, there is a concern that airspace congestion in the vicinity of Lindbergh is a safety problem which may be difficult to solve. Numerous studies, dating back to -the 19401s, have been unable to resolve this issue. In recognition of these problems, the CPO Board of Directors determined in January 1979•to submit the camuiiercial aviation issue to the appropriate electorate in 1980. In order to carry out the CPO Board policies, an analysis,of alternative ca:enercial sites will be conducted. This analysis recognizes the time required to select a site and properly plan, design and construct an airport once the site has been designated. Therefore, the study design is calculated to use all available past information and to -update these data in order to provide the appropriate information for voter con- sideration of this issue. This study will be limited to the following four site areas which were determined to be the most viable alternatives after an earlier eval- uation -of 23 potential commercial sites in the San Diego Plan for Air Transportation (SANPAT) study: 1. Lindbergh Field (3 configurations) 2. MS Miramar (2 configurations) 3. Carmel 4. Otay Mesa A preliminary step in the site selection process will be the preparation of all necessary technical data concerning these alternatives with the overriding thought that this technical material must be placed in a format which will allow interpretation of its contents, in summary form, by non -technical people. This format is essential since its findings must be presented to the general public in the form of a ballot measure in the 1980 primary elections. Since the adopted CPO Board Policy has designated the existing Lindbergh Field facility "as the site most suitable for serving the commercial air transportation needs of the San Diego region through 1995", the June SAN DIEGO REGION'S COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS Member Agencies Cities of Carl".

If the public decision is affirmative, the voters will be provided a measure to allow then to consider alternative sites at the General Election in November 1980. The overall work scope outline for the Airport System Plan Coordination and Update to include the alternative ccamercial airport site analysis follows. OVERALL WORK SCOPE OUTLINE AIRPORT SYSTEM PLAN COORDINATION AND UPDATE I. SURVEILLANCE A. Airport Inventory Update B. Ground Access Data Update c. Lw4 Use Compatibility D. System Plan Monitoring II. OOWINATION AND SERVICE A. Coordination B. Service III. i&EVALVATION AND REAPPRAISAL A. Ocmnercial Aviation Demand Ebrecasts 1. Review methodology of previous forecasts and verify the accuracy of the forecasts. 2. Estimate future demand for 1980, 1995, 1990, 1995 and 2000. 3. Research and prepare aircraft mix assumptions for 1980, 1985, 1990, 1995 and 2000. 4. Airline deregulation will be analyzed to determine its effect on demand and other factors. 5. Analyze changes in origin/destination statistics in order to see the influence on demand based on location of the alternative airports. B. General Aviation Demand Forecast She concern with this data is its relation to commercial demand in order to best evaluate the overall aircraft operations in the total regional airport system. C. Capacity Analysis 1. The overall system capacity has a bearing on system priocities and, therefore, this analysis is essential to the e,.raluation of alter- native ccamercial airport sites. 2. A review of recent and planned changes in individual airport capacity will be analyzed to note their effect on the system plan and the alternate sites being considered. D. Aeview and Modification of the Fxistina Plan 1. Determine which areas of the plan have been verified as valid and -which must be reappraised. 2. A review of the many factors in the plan should reveal the updated information -necessary to ,provide a better informed decision con- cerning modification of t>>e existing plan as well as the technical data for a reasoned selection of a commercial airport to serve the area. '1V. s0wrn smmES 2m following special studies shall address seven ccm:*rcial aviation alternatives at four sites. These alternatives are: 1. Lindbergh Field (existing) a. Present runway configuration b. Additional departure runway approximately 3000 heading, to minimize noise impact c. Parallel runway to existing 9/27 2. NAS Miramar (existing) a. rxpansion with a cross runway b. New optimal configuration 3. Carmel (new) 4. Otay Mesa (existing -now) r-- A. Airport system Configuration 1. Delineate the system with each of the seven alternative configurations included as a separa.:e option. 2. Analyze impact of each site on the entire system after analysis in B., C., D., and E. below. B. Aif rt Development Concepts 1. Facility requirements will be prepared for each alternative based on updated information; each concept should provide the same capacity to as close a degree as possible. 2. Airport Layout and obstruction Clearance Plans for each alternative. 3. Terminal Area'41ans for each alternative. C. Regional AirVace Utilization Analysis 1. Air traffic flow, analysis will be shown for each site in the system, both IFR and VFR. 2. Runway configurations will be sub; ted to FAA scrutiny and ccmvent as to all operational aspects including, but not limited'to, the sites "place" in the system based on present and planned navaids. Operational capability and constraints should also be evaluated for optimum efficiency in the system based on forecast mix, land use considerations, and proximity to other airports. Anticipated Y:chnoldgical improvenents-should be analyzed as they relate to each site. 3. prepare -an Airspace Management Plan- D. Airport Noise, Analysis 1.
