Introduction Thank you for inviting comments for the State Aviation Board’s consideration as it reviews the 2012 Aurora State Airport Master Plan (the “Master Plan”) and the Airport Layout Plan. The City of Aurora promotes sound land use planning and the efficient development of public facilities to serve the community. Its policy is that new urban development on surrounding lands should occur within the City, and therefore additional geographic expansion of the airport must be preceded by annexation. The City cannot support the Master Plan as drafted, although it could support the plan if it were revised consistent with the City’s policy, Goal 11 and Goal 14. The City looks forward to working with the Department of Aviation and Marion County to bring the airport into the City in accordance with these goals and related land use regulations that direct urban land uses to areas within urban growth boundaries. These comments follow up on the City’s oral testimony on Goal 12 that was presented at the September 24, 2019 hearing and the prior electronic submittals. A list of the submitted documents is attached. (Ex 1). Please add this memorandum to the record, and ensure all materials submitted by all participants are placed before, and accepted by, the State Aviation Board. II. Preliminary Issues This unique proceeding raises several historical and procedural issues that will be reviewed to provide the background and set the land use context. State agency coordination is reviewed first. The City’s status as an “affected governmental unit” is established second. Then the elements of the Master Plan and the Airport Layout Plan that affect land use are illustrated and described. Next there is a discussion of which land use criteria apply to this process. There is an unusually large number of criteria because the Master Plan and Airport Layout Plan would further expand an already large urban public facility onto agricultural land that is outside an urban growth boundary, which is disfavored. The importance of a complete record and the quasi-judicial nature of this proceeding are summarized, and the current status of the Master Plan and the Airport Layout Plan are analyzed. Annexation into Aurora would reclassify the land from rural to urban, and thereby resolve the identified land use conflicts and deliver the needed public 1 City of Aurora Comments on Proposed Findings, October 31, 2019 services. The City looks forward to working together with the Department of Aviation to expeditiously accomplish the annexation. A. Legislative Policy for State Agency Coordination All local governments and state agencies have had statutory comprehensive land use planning responsibilities since 1973. (1973 c.80 §1, 2). In the ensuing decades, those responsibilities were not always carried out successfully. To address this deficiency, the Oregon legislature reinitiated those responsibilities in 2009, when it found and declared that: (1) Improving coordination and consistency between the duties and actions of state agencies that affect land use and the duties and actions of local governments under comprehensive plans and land use regulations is required to ensure that the actions of state agencies complement both state and local land use planning objectives. (2) Improved coordination is necessary to streamline state and local permitting procedures. (3) The Department of Land Conservation and Development has not engaged in a formal and concerted effort to update state agency land use coordination programs since 1989, and that state agency rules, plans and programs affecting land use and local

  • INTRODUCTION Airport Master Plan Update Aurora State Airport
    Chapter One: INTRODUCTION Airport Master Plan Update Aurora State Airport This update to the 2000 Airport Master Plan was undertaken to assess the role of the Aurora State Airport (Airport), evaluate the Airport's capabilities, forecast future aeronautical activity for the next 20 years, and plan for the timely development of any new or expanded Airport facilities needed to accommodate future aviation activity. The owner and operator of the Airport, the Oregon Department of Aviation (ODA), obtained and matched a grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to fund this study. ODA has organized a Planning Advisory Committee (PAC), representing Airport users and neighbors, to participate in the planning process. In addition to six PAC meetings, public involvement in the master plan update includes a website to disseminate information and gather comments and questions, and five open houses for the general public. The purpose of this first draft chapter of the Airport Master Plan Update (Plan) is threefold: • to summarize major issues that the Plan should address • to identify goals for the planning process and for the future development of the Airport • to determine the Airport’s current and future role within the system of airports GOALS Goals for the master plan update were a subject of the first PAC meeting held on July 22, 2010. The common themes of PAC members’ statements have been synthesized and are presented below. The goals are divided between two categories – goals for the planning process and goals for the master plan itself. Planning Process Goals The goals for the planning process should guide the conduct of the ODA, ODA’s consultants, and the PAC throughout the development of the master plan update.

  • Troutdale Airport Master Plan Shaping Our Future Planning Advisory Committee Final Report June 2016
    TROUTDALE AIRPORT MASTER PLAN SHAPING OUR FUTURE PLANNING ADVISORY COMMITTEE FINAL REPORT JUNE 2016 May 11, 2016 Port of Portland Executive Director, Troutdale Airport: Shaping Our Future was a complete airport master plan process that went above and beyond. While the master plan followed many of the traditional steps characteristic of an airport master plan, it also explored a broader range of issues important to the Port, City and greater region. Before the process began, the Port of Portland recognized that Troutdale Airport was a valued community asset on an unsustainable path. At the same time, the Port identified a local community need for increased economic opportunities. This master plan process was exceptional in that it not only addressed the airport resources required to continue serving aviation needs, it also evaluated how Troutdale Airport could sustainably serve local community needs as a whole for the next 20 years. The Port of Portland invited a group of 23 stakeholders – representing diverse values of economic, environmental and social sustainability – to create a project advisory committee (PAC) charged with providing input and recommendations for the master plan process. From the spring of 2014 to the spring of 2016, I worked with these outstanding individuals and the Port to develop our recommendations on the Troutdale Airport Master Plan. As a PAC, we were given the opportunity to provide input on planning documents and engage in rigorous discussion about Troutdale Airport’s role in the future. Our recommendations were also informed by community input collected from stakeholder meetings and public involvement activities prior to key project milestones.

  • Future Role of Hillsboro Airport Chapter Two Port of Portland
    PORT OF PORTLAND Chapter Two FUTURE ROLE OF HILLSBORO AIRPORT CHAPTER TWO PORT OF PORTLAND FUTUREFUTURE ROLEROLE OFOF HILLSBOROHILLSBORO AIRPORTAIRPORT The purpose of this chapter of the Airport Master Plan is to analyze the feasibility of alternative roles for Hillsboro Airport within the context of the Portland metropolitan system of airports and State of Oregon system of airports. This analysis provides a foundation for the Port of Portland to determine, specifically and ideally, what Hillsboro Airport's role should be through 2025. This involves considering the probability and viability of supporting scheduled commercial air service and/or air cargo activity at Hillsboro Airport. HILLSBORO AIRPORT'S EXISTING ROLE The role for Hillsboro Airport is defined within both state and federal aviation plans. At the national level, Hillsboro Airport is defined as a reliever airport in the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS). Reliever airports are specially designated general aviation airports intended to reduce congestion at large commercial service airports. This reliever role is usually accomplished, not by accommodating commercial flights, but by providing an attractive option for the myriad of non-commercial, general aviation aircraft operations that urban areas generate. Hillsboro Airport is classified as a reliever for Portland International Airport (PDX). In this role, Hillsboro Airport is intended to preserve capacity at PDX by offering an alternative operating area for general

An analysis of aviation activity at the Airport has identified 349 based aircraft. 10.8% of the aircraft based at the Airport are jet aircraft. The Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) began collecting data in October 2015 and has identified 48,459 Airport operations in 2016 and 58,597 Airport operations in 2017. The confirmed TAF numbers are 44,292 and 54,999 respectively. FAA Traffic Flow Management Systems Counts (TFMSC) operations data presented by Aircraft Design Group identified at least 860 annual operations by C and D aircraft on average from 2009 to 2018. Additional analysis of the TFMSC data indicates there have been 599 average annual operations by aircraft requiring 5,901 feet or more of runway length. However, the majority of these operations (70%) are conducted by aircraft that require 6,000 feet or more of runway during given conditions. On average there are 415 annual operations per year by aircraft that require 6,000 feet or more of runway. A constrained operations Airport user survey was distributed as part of this study. The survey identified 645 constrained annual operations from a variety of aircraft and aircraft operators.
