<br />The number of people drawn to the Airport who do not directly use <br />aviation services, i.e. sightseers and other visitors or people <br />picking up or delivering passengers to the airport, etc., is <br />substantial and we estimate the numbers currently visiting the airport <br />to be approximately 16,000 to 18,000 visitors annually. The projected <br />number of visitors over the 20 year planning period is shown in the <br />followinq table. <br /> <br />Table 1.8 v.ISntR ~ (nOOO) <br /> <br />Year <br /> <br />1985 <br />16-18 <br /> <br />1995 <br />28-34 <br /> <br />1990 <br />22-25 <br /> <br />Visitors <br /> <br />2005 <br />62-73 <br /> <br />In additicm to known aviaticm visitors, it is estimated that the air- <br />port has potential for the employment of a substantial number of <br />people in direct suwort of aiIport operations and aviation activity, <br />such as aircraft maintenance, servicing, flight training, etc. In <br />addition, however, there is potential for other airport development, <br />in aviation related or in unrelated activities, and the airport <br />facilities should aocamnodate these activities and their related needs <br />as well. It is not unusual for an airport with the physical <br />attributes, operational profile and activity predicted for San Maroos <br />to employ 100 or more full time employees. <br /> <br />Aub,...ihile PaJ::Id.Dq P-:p'''I~~~ts <br /> <br />Parkinq requirements for 2005 will increase to 462 spaces.
