6. Aviation System Element VROOM... Variety in Rural Options of Mobility Public Draft–Aug/Sept 2017 6. AVIATION SYSTEM ELEMENT With the region’s nine public-use airports, residents and visitors have access to faster travel which can connect them to (or from) “Aviation gives the interregional, interstate, and international destinations. The aviation State’s multimodal system is part of a multimodal transportation system, as it connects transportation system people and packages (air passengers and air freight) to surface access, range, and speed.” (highway), sea, and rail transport. Humboldt’s aviation system is part of a robust California aviation system which – California Aviation System Plan, 2016 improves mobility options, generates tax revenue, saves lives through emergency response, medical, and firefighting services, produces over $170 billion in air cargo revenues annually, and generates over $14 billion to the State’s tourism industry (2016 RTP Guidelines). AIRPORT ACCESS & MOBILITY Airside & Landside “Airside” and “landside” are terms that describe areas of an airport. When navigating around airports, landside generically means the area outside (external to) the passenger boarding area, and airside generically means the internal area for boarding aircraft, including skyways and runways. The boundary between the two is that area of security checkpoints, and passport and customs control. When discussing airports in the context of transportation planning, the landside and airside areas are considered more broadly. In this context, the landside area encompasses the external roads and other travelways that give ingress and egress to the airport, which usually means including local roads and state highways. The broader airside includes the airport’s surface grounds for ground support and emergency vehicles, including ramps, aprons, runways, and taxiways. Congestion and other barriers on either side can impede mobility. Congestion on the landside can affect whether passengers make or miss their scheduled flights; congestion on the airside can affect how well airplanes meet their scheduled arrival and departure times. In this sense, landside deals more with ground transportation, whereas airside deals more with air transportation. In furthering the goal for regional transportation mobility, access, and connectivity, the multi-modal transportation system focuses on local airports’ landside. Ground access to airports is important not only to passengers, but also to airport employees, air cargo, and public transit. To have an integrated, multi-modal system, people must have a choice of modes to reach an airport, with access being comfortable and convenient for walking, biking, transit, and taxis/shuttles, as well as driving. The quality of ground access also certainly affects goods movement/freight operations/performance. For instance, the pavement condition (particularly for heavier trucks), number of lanes, and lane widths will affect freight access/movement. HCAOG 20-Year RTP–2017 Update/Public Draft 6-84 6. Aviation System Element VROOM... Variety in Rural Options of Mobility Public Draft–Aug/Sept 2017 REGIONAL AVIATION SYSTEM Of the region’s nine public-use airports, six are owned by the County of Humboldt and managed by the Aviation and Airport Division of the Humboldt County Public Works Department. The other three are owned by three different jurisdictions: the City of Eureka owns and manages Samoa Field Airport (formerly called Eureka Municipal Airport); the Hoopa Valley Tribal Council owns and manages the Hoopa Airport; and the Shelter Cove Resort Improvement District #1, owns and manages the Shelter Cove Airport, located in Shelter Cove. The only airport with commercial passenger service is the County’s California Redwood Coast– Humboldt County Airport (formerly the Arcata-Eureka Airport).1 AIRPORT PLANNING Airport Land Use Commission The perception that airports are just places for airplanes to take-off and land has long Every county in which a public-use airport is located is required been dismissed by aviation to establish an Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) (per system planners.

As the ALUC, the Board has authorized a nine-member Aviation Advisory Committee (AAC) to advise them on aviation matters within the county. The two planning bodies, the ALUC and the AAC, must evaluate potential conflicts such as noise, safety, airspace, and overflight. They do this in two primary ways: (i) by preparing Airport Land Use Compatibility Plans (ALUCPs); and (ii) by reviewing local agency general and specific plans for consistency with the ALUCP goals and objectives (per CPUC §21676(a)). The ALUC makes safety recommendations via consistency determinations. Airport Plans Airports must be operated consistently with the policies of the region-wide Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP). California statute authorizes ALUCs to prepare the ALUCP, and and apply it when they review local government general plans and specific plans, including airport master plans. 1 The County of Humboldt has applied to the FAA to rename the airport. HCAOG 20-Year RTP–2017 Update/Public Draft 6-85 6. Aviation System Element VROOM... Variety in Rural Options of Mobility Public Draft–Aug/Sept 2017 Acting under its authority as the ALUC, the County Board of Supervisors adopted the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan: Humboldt County Airports (last amended and adopted in 1998) (County of Humboldt, 1998). The Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) sets policies and criteria for assessing whether land uses between Humboldt’s public use airports and proposed development in surrounding areas are compatible. The compatibility criteria set standards for building heights, building construction, and restricted uses of land. The ALUCP’s compatibility criteria and review policies apply broadly to all airports in the County. Additionally, the plan has specific policies, compatibility maps, and background data for the five County-operated General Aviation airports plus Shelter Cove Airport. The ALUCP does not contain specific policies or compatibility zones for the Samoa Field Airport (formerly Eureka Municipal Airport) or the Hoopa Airport or, although has policies and criteria that regulate allowed uses and residential densities around the Hoopa Airport. Each of the County-owned airports, additionally, operates according to its respective Airport Master Plan. The current airport master plans are: • Arcata-Eureka Airport Master Plan Report, Public Review Draft.

  • Report Title
    FLYING AROUND HUMBOLDT AIRPORTS SUMMARY While reviewing reports by previous Grand Juries, the 2014-15 Humboldt County Grand Jury discovered a 2005 report regarding the Humboldt County Department of Public Works' Aviation Division. In reviewing the report, it was found that only the commercial airport in McKinleyville was investigated. The current Humboldt County Grand Jury decided to do an expanded follow- up investigation that included the commercial airport and five county general aviation airports. The six county airports are the California Redwood Coast Humboldt County Airport (CRCHCA), Murray Field, Rohnerville Airport, Garberville Airport, Dinsmore Airport and Kneeland Airport. After visits to the six county airports, interviews with department personnel and relevant community members, review of current budgets and examination of state airport inspection notification letters for each general aviation airport, the Humboldt County Grand Jury discovered facts that led to findings and recommendations about the Department of Public Works and the Aviation Division. A summary of key findings and recommendations are: Department of Public Works: The Humboldt County Grand Jury learned that the California Department of Transportation's (Caltrans) Division of Aeronautics annually inspects all five general aviation airports to certify that they meet federal standards for maintenance and security. Inspection notification letters identifying issues that need to be addressed to ensure operational safety of each airport are sent to the Director of Public Works. After reviewing the most recent notification letters for each general aviation airport, the Humboldt County Grand Jury found that each airfield had deferred maintenance issues that needed to be addressed to enhance their operational safety.

    VROOM... Variety in Rural Options of Mobility 6. AVIATION SYSTEM ELEMENT The aviation system is part of a multimodal transportation system, as it connects people and packages to surface, sea, and rail transport. Aviation is a part of the global transport system; California’s more than 300 airports move goods to and from domestic and international markets. The Humboldt region’s nine public-use airports, give residents and visitors access to faster travel which can connect them to interregional, interstate, and international destinations. California’s public-use airports are also job centers, trade hubs, and emergency facilities; serving a variety of freight, passenger, and emergency response transportation, as well as related business and government operations. As the single commercial airport in the region, California Redwood Coast– Humboldt County Airport is a key transportation asset for the region’s mobility and its tourism and business economies.
