Task 8 - Airport Noise-Analysis Full consideration must be given to environmental factors which may be affected by development at San Marcos Municipal Airport. These factors must be carefully evaluated and analyzed to identify any adverse environmental affects that may result from the future improve- ments at the airport, especially in view of the dramatic changes in airport activity since 1981, when the original evironmental assessment was made. Of principal concern is noise, compatible land uses and social impacts that may arise as a result of increased airport activity. In order to produce this analysis, it will be necessary to develop noise contours for the principal operating scenarios, for the years 1985, 1990 and 2005. These contours will be superimposed upon land use maps for existing and anticipated conditions. An assessment of the airport's effect upon the surrounding area will be made, with emphasis on canpatible land uses and possible social impacts. The noise study required herein will be limited in scope and detail, and will not be considered as a formal environmental impact statement. Maximum use will be made of existing data, but new work will be performed jointly, as deemed appropriate by City and Contractor. The development of the noise study will be coordinated with the Director of Environment and Engineering and the Planning Director of the City. Task 9 - Developnent Schedule and Financial Plan Of the many benefits of an Airport Planning Study, the development of schedules and cost estimates for implementing the planned improvements is one of the most significant. This information is a valuable tool in planning capital expenditures incumbent to any improvements project. ']he development schedules will be presented to clearly define the improvements sched- ule and justification for each recommendation. A review of existing leases at the airport will be accom- plished, and an analysis performed with particular emphasis placed upon development of a leasing program designed to optimize revenue production and to enhance the airport's competitive position in attraction of new leases, particularly revenue producing endeavors. Recommendations for the leasing program will include sugges- ted leasing policy and administrative practices, and lease rates and fees. The implications of "through the fence" operations will be examined in context of financial impact on the airport.
