SUMMARY KAHULUI AIRPORT MASTER PLAN UPDATE

1. PLAN OBJECTIVES Because of changing needs and priorities, the MP should be updated every five (5) to 10 years. The Kahului Airport Master Plan (OGG MP) Update is part of an ongoing planning process 2. ALTERNATIVES of the Department of Transportation, Airports Alternative land use plans were prepared to Division (DOTA), to build upon previously explore land use options, and include: prepared airport master plans and development plans based on identified needs. The role of the • Construction of a Parallel Taxiway to be MP update is to guide future airport used as a temporary during development which will satisfy forecast aviation reconstruction of Runway 2-20 demands in a financially sound manner and in • Extension of Runway 2-20 to 8,530 feet harmony with community, environmental, and socioeconomic issues and concerns. This MP • Terminal improvements Update is based on a 20-year planning horizon  Land acquisition (2015-2035). Subsequent development plans will provide greater detail for implementation.

3. PLAN EVALUATION conditions. For example, neighboring land owners such as Alexander & Baldwin (A&B) The alternatives evaluation process was an Properties have evolving plans for an industrial iterative process rather than an empirical park south of the airport property. Their selection process. Many individuals and proposals necessitated the need to react and organizations provided input into the process reanalyze the MP proposals to ensure and as a result, an important goal was to achieve compatible land use while maintaining airport consensus. It should be noted that the final operational needs. Much effort was directed selection of a particular plan component was not towards maintaining communication and always unanimous. Ultimately, the selection of distribution of information between DOTA staff, particular plan components was based on the consulting staff, and public stakeholders as criteria of “what was best for the Airport and alternative proposals evolved. island of .” The evaluation led to the selection of the 4.

The plan evaluation methodology can be summarized in The proposed Airport MP and Terminal Area the following steps: Plan forecasts an anticipated increase in passengers and operations, and identifies the 1.
