AIRPORT MASTER PLAN <br />T ERMINAL A REA/L ANDSIDE F ACILITY R EQUIREMENTS <br />Terminal area and landside area facilities play an important role in enabling the <br />transition of pilots, passengers, and goods to and from the airside facilities at the <br />airport. Terminal and landside area facilities include FBO/Terminal building <br />facilities, hangars, apron space, vehicle parking areas, and roadway access. <br />FBO/Terminal buildings serve both a functional and social capacity central to the <br />operation, promotion, and visible identity of any airport. Key FBO/terminal area <br />facility requirements are developed in consideration of the following general design <br />concepts: <br />Future terminal area development for general aviation airports serving utility <br />and larger than utility aircraft should be centralized <br /> Planned development should allow for incremental linear expansion of <br />facilities and services in a modular fashion along an established flightline <br /> Major design considerations involve minimizing earthwork/grading, avoiding <br />flood-prone areas and integrating existing paved areas to reduce pavement <br />(taxilane) costs <br /> Future terminal expansion should allow sufficient maneuverability and <br />accessibility for appropriate types (mix) of aircraft within secured access <br />areas <br /> Future terminal area development should enhance safety, visibility, and be <br />aesthetically pleasing <br />The San Marcos Regional Airport currently has two FBO/Terminal buildings. The <br />FBO/terminal building operated by Berry Aviation is approximately 3,600 square <br />feet. The FBO/terminal building operated by Redbird Skyport provides <br />approximately 17,850 square feet of FBO/terminal space. The total amount of <br />FBO/terminal building space is approximately 21,450 square feet. <br />An estimate of future building/space needs based on forecasted demand is <br />outlined in Table 4-17. Public space is allocated for lounge/waiting area, flight <br />planning, restrooms, meeting rooms, and concession.
