INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION
PORT OF PORTLAND
The Hillsboro Airport Master Plan study evaluates the airport's capabilities and role, forecasts future aviation demand, and plans for the timely development of new or expanded facilities that may be required to meet that demand. The ultimate goal of the Master Plan is to provide systematic guidelines for the airport's overall maintenance, development, and operation.
The Master Plan is a proactive document which identifies and then plans for future facility needs well in advance of the actual need for those facilities. This is done to ensure that the Port of Portland (Port) can coordinate project approvals, design, financing, and construction in a timely manner prior to experiencing the detrimental effects of inadequate facilities.
An important result of the Master Plan is reserving sufficient land area for future facility needs. This protects development areas and ensures they will be readily available when required to meet future needs. The result will be a detailed on-airport land use concept which outlines recommended uses for all areas of airport property.
The preparation of this Master Plan is evidence that the Port recognizes the importance of air transportation to the community and the associated challenges inherent in providing for its unique operating and improvement needs. The costs of maintaining an airport is an investment which yield benefits to the community. With a sound and realistic Master Plan, Hillsboro Airport can maintain its role as an important link to the national air transportation system for the community and maintain the existing public and private investments in its facilities.
ii
MASTER PLAN GOAL “Develop a comprehensive tool to guide the Airport’s development and optimize community compatibility through the year 2025.” MASTER PLAN OBJECTIVES The primary objective of the Master Plan is to formulate and maintain a long-term development program which will yield a safe, efficient, economical, and environmentally acceptable avia-tion facility. The accomplishment of this objective requires the evaluation of the existing airport and a determination of what actions should be taken to maintain an adequate, safe, and reli-able airport facility to meet the needs of the area. This update will provide an outline of the necessary improvements and give those responsible for its opera-tion advance notice of future airport funding needs so the appropriate steps can be taken to ensure that adequate funds are budgeted. Specific objectives of the Hillsboro Air-port Master Plan update are: PRESERVE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE INVESTMENTS The Port and United States Govern-ment (through the Federal Aviation Administration, or the FAA) have made considerable investments in the air-port’s infrastructure. Private individu-als and businesses have made invest-ments in buildings and other facilities
as well. This update will provide for the continued maintenance and the neces-sary improvements to the airport’s in-frastructure to ensure maximum utility of both public and private-use facilities at the Hillsboro Airport. BE REFLECTIVE OF COMMUNITY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES The Hillsboro Airport is a public-use aviation facility serving the aeronauti-cal needs of local and regional residents and businesses. The Master Plan needs to reflect the desires the surrounding communities have for quality of life, business and development, and land use. The Master Plan will consider ex-isting planning documents for sur-rounding communities and the county in the ultimate design and use of the Hillsboro Airport. DETERMINE ROLE The Hillsboro Airport is part of a re-gional and national aviation system. To ensure that the Hillsboro Airport fulfills its role, the Master Plan will evaluate the segments of aviation that it must serve to ensure a strong and vibrant re-gional and national aviation system. MAINTAIN SAFETY Safety is an essential consideration in the planning and development at the Airport. The Master Plan will focus on maintaining the already high levels of safety for airport users, visitors, em-ployees, and surrounding communities.
iii
PRESERVE THE ENVIRONMENT Protection and preservation of the local environment are important concerns in the Master Plan. Any improvements suggested within the Master Plan will be mindful of environmental require-ments, such as those for air quality, noise, and the protection of sensitive species’ habitat. SEEK TO BALANCE DISRUPTION The Master Plan will seek to balance the needs of the community for quality of life with the need for a vibrant busi-ness atmosphere. The Master Plan will seek to moderate the effects of aircraft activity on existing land uses while meeting aviation needs. ATTRACT PUBLIC PARTICIPATION To ensure that the Master Plan reflects the concerns of the public and their rep-resentatives, the local communities, residents, and businesses throughout the region will be notified of the Master Plan update process and their com-ments and suggestions will be actively solicited and included in the final Mas-ter Plan, to the extent possible. STRENGTHEN THE ECONOMY In continuing support of the area’s economy, the Master Plan is aimed at retaining and increasing jobs and reve-nue for the region and its businesses.
The Master Plan will accomplish these objectives by carrying out the following: • Determining projected needs of air-
port users through the year 2025; • Identifying existing and future facil-
ity needs; • Evaluating future airport facility
development alternatives which will optimize airport capacity and air-craft safety;
• Developing a realistic, commonsense
plan for the use and/or expansion of the Airport;
• Establishing a schedule of develop-
ment priorities and a program for improvements;
• Analyzing the airport’s financial re-
quirements for capital improvement needs and grant options; and
• Developing land use and operational
compatibility guidelines to moderate the impact of the airport on adjacent land uses.
MASTER PLAN ELEMENTS AND PROCESS The Hillsboro Airport Master Plan was prepared in a systematic fashion follow-ing FAA guidelines and industry-accepted principles and practices. The Master Plan for the Hillsboro Airport has several general elements that are intended to assist in the identification
iv
of future facility needs and provide the supporting rationale for their imple-mentation. Exhibit IA provides a graphical depiction of the Hillsboro Air-port Master Plan update process and its elements. Element One encompasses inventory efforts. The inventory was focused on collecting and assembling relevant data pertaining to the airport and the area it serves. Information was collected on existing airport facilities and opera-tions. Local economic and demographic data were also collected to define the local growth trends. Planning studies which may have relevance to the Mas-ter Plan were also gathered. Informa-tion assembled during the inventory ef-forts is summarized in Chapter One, Inventory. Element Two determined the future role for the Hillsboro Airport. This analysis resulted in a determination of whether or not the Hillsboro Airport should continue its current role with an emphasis on business aviation or if it should potentially serve the scheduled passenger airline and/or air cargo needs of the region. This analysis is presented in Chapter Two, Future Role of Hills-boro Airport. Element Three examined the potential aviation demand for aviation activity at the Airport. This analysis utilized local socioeconomic information as well as national air transportation trends to quantify the levels of aviation activity which can reasonably be expected to oc-cur at the Airport though the year 2025. The results of this effort were used to determine the types and sizes of facili-ties which will be required to meet the
projected aviation demands for the Hillsboro Airport through the planning period. The results of this analysis are presented in Chapter Three, Aviation Demand Forecasts. Element Four comprises the facility re-quirements analysis. The intent of this analysis was to compare existing facil-ity capacities to forecast aviation de-mand, determining where deficiencies in capacities (as well as excess capaci-ties) may exist. Where deficiencies were identified, the size and type of new facilities to accommodate the demand were identified. The airfield analysis focused on improvements needed to serve the type of aircraft expected to op-erate at the Airport in the future, as well as navigational aids to increase the safety and efficiency of operations. This element also examined aircraft storage hangar and apron needs. The findings of this analysis are presented in Chap-ter Four, Aviation Facility Require-ments. Element Five considered a variety of solutions to accommodate the projected facility needs. This element proposed various facility and site plan configura-tions which may either singly or in combination with other configurations meet the projected facility needs. A thorough analysis identified the strengths and weaknesses of each pro-posed development alternative, with the intent of determining a single direction for development. This element also ex-amined the “No Build” alternative. These results are presented in Chapter Five, Airport Development Alternatives. Element Six is comprised of two inde-pendent, yet interrelated, work efforts:

a capital improvement program (CIP) and an airport layout plan (ALP). This element produced Chapters Six and Seven of the Master Plan. Chapter Six provides both a graphic and narrative description of the recommended plan for the use, development, and operation of the Hillsboro Airport. Specifics on envi-ronmental impacts and compliance are also provided in Chapter Six. Appendix B to the Master Plan includes the offi-cial ALP and detailed technical draw-ings depicting related airspace, land use, and property data. These drawings are used by the FAA in determining grant eligibility and funding. Chapter Seven focuses on the capital needs pro-gram, which defines the schedules, costs, and funding sources for the rec-ommended development projects. COORDINATION The Hillsboro Airport Master Plan is of interest to many within the local com-munity. This includes local citizens, community organizations, airport users, airport tenants, area-wide planning agencies, and aviation organizations. As an important component of the re-gional, state, and national aviation sys-tems, these Hillsboro Airport planning documents will be of great importance to both state and federal agencies re-sponsible for overseeing air transporta-tion. To assist in the development of the Hillsboro Airport Master Plan, the Port identified a cross-section of community members and interested persons to act in an advisory role in the development of the Master Plan. As members of the Project Advisory Committee (PAC), the
committee members reviewed draft working papers and provided comments throughout the study to help ensure that a realistic, viable plan was devel-oped. To assist in the review process, draft working papers of each chapter were prepared at several milestones in the planning process as shown previously on Exhibit IA. The draft working pa-pers process allowed for input and re-view during each step within the update process to ensure that all issues were fully addressed as the recommended program was developed. As shown on Exhibit IA, a special em-phasis was placed on understanding airport noise modeling and the regula-tory controls over noise management at airports in the United States. A specific PAC meeting was held early in the Master Plan process to discuss these is-sues as well as the implementation of a third training pattern to supplement the airport’s existing Alpha and Bravo patterns, known as the Charlie Pattern. Two project-specific Open Houses were held as part of the plan coordination. Open Houses afforded the public oppor-tunities to provide input and learn about general information concerning the Master Plan update. Master Plan information was made available through the publication of a series of brochures and newsletters. The working papers and draft final report were also made available to the general public over the internet via the Port web page shortly after submission to the commit-tee. The web site allowed persons to e-mail comments to the Port.
