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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
