25.04.330 - General prerequisites to development of airport facilities.
A. The 1997 Airport Master Plan assumes that the Route 87 Freeway project between I-280 and U.S. 101, including the Skyport Drive Interchange, will be completed by the year 2001. No construction contract for any new terminal building or parking garage, or west side cargo development shall be awarded until the Route 87 improvement project is under construction.
B. The 1997 Airport Master Plan assumes that commercial transport category Stage 2 aircraft (as defined in 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 36) will be phased out of the national fleet by December 31, 1999. The city shall not award a lease agreement providing for the occupancy of, or a construction contract for development of, a new terminal building, west side cargo facility, or public parking garage at the airport as contained in the 1997 Airport Master Plan, until an all Stage 3 transport category commercial fleet actually operates at the airport.
C. In determining whether to proceed with the development of new or additional landside airport facilities, whether for air passenger, air cargo, or general aviation, the city manager shall cause a review to be conducted of the overall historical compliance of the potential airline or interested user(s) of the proposed facilities with the airport noise control program. The results of this review shall be made available to the city council for its consideration and deliberations prior to a decision to proceed with the development of that facility.
D. Prior to city council consideration of a new terminal building, west side cargo, or general aviation facilities at the airport contained in the 1997 Airport Master Plan:
1. The city manager shall provide the city council with a report containing updated activity levels including numbers of passengers, aircraft operations and fleet mix, cargo tonnage, airport based general aviation aircraft, on-airport parking statistics, and a comparison of such activity levels to the 1997 Airport Master Plan forecast.
2. The director of planning, building and code enforcement shall review the report to determine whether an updated environmental analysis or study is appropriate, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act.
3. No contract for the construction of new terminal, west side cargo, or general aviation facilities shall be awarded without additional environmental analysis, if the updated review and information indicate that circumstances have materially changed from the analyses and forecasts provided in the 1997 Airport Master Plan and related environmental analysis.
E. The city shall not award construction contracts or approve lease agreements for the development of new cargo or general aviation facilities specified in the 1997 Airport Master Plan unless the need for such development is demonstrated either by:
1. An analysis showing that demand for air cargo or general aviation exceeds the availability of such facilities on the airport; or
2. A written commitment by a cargo or general aviation operator to occupy and provide for the funding of the costs of development, maintenance, and operation of such facilities.
