BACKGROUND: On November 5, 1985, the Public Works Director advised .that in 1986 the
irpo rt would be initiating a Master Plan review of the Airport which would also
include a noise study. He further stated that a component of the study would be the
development of an Airport Access Plan to provide additional information relative to
noise control and the establishment of standards to regulate the operation of various
types of aircraft at Buchanan Field Airport.
In light of the heightened awareness of the Airport as a result of the Sun Valley Mall
tragedy, the Public Works Director is recommending that the development of the Airport
Access Plan be accelerated. The Access Plan will include, but not necessarily be
limited to:
1. Evaluation of general aviation aircraft limits as to numbers of aircraft
utilizing the Airport and the type of activities to be conducted at the
Airport.
2. This plan will also address the type of aircraft that will be allowed
to operate from the Airport, particularly limitations due to noise and safety.
3. One of the primary goals of the study will be to develop an access plan
which will ultimately lead to further reductions of the noise levels impacting
the surrounding communities.
4. The Plan will address the issues of automobile traffic to and from the east
side of the Airport and will also evaluate the limitations relative to
automobile parking on the east side of the Airport.
5. The Plan will also address the limitations relative to aircraft apron
space on the Airport.
