In this session we discuss the value of land use planning sessions in determining airside and landside short-, mid-, and long-term needs of the airport. Land use plans have been used to secure funding and increase commercial landside and military airside growth. Currently a plan is being used to develop the first general aviation aerotropolis concept. Join us to learn how a land use plan can increase the marketability and revenue generation of your airport

Only influence FAA has for promoting compatible land use off the airport is via grant assurances airport sponsor signs.Grants include assurances sponsor will take efforts to support adequate zoning and land use controls to protect the airport. 4 Categories of Land 1. on the airport w/ access to a runway           aka airside2. on the airport w/o access to a runway         aka landside3. adjacent to the airport but not owned by the airport 4. in the vicinity of the airportMost common issues:1 – On airport - Airside2 – On airport - Land side – Heavily regulated by the FAA – Require certain land to be “unused” because it has to be free of obstructions– protect the pilot, passenger, and people/property on the ground– prevent non-aeronautical use of land on the airport without FAA approval1 – On airport - Airside2 – On airport - Land side - demand for the development has been expressed- level of demand will remain sufficiently high- revenues resulting from the new development will cover associated costs - For non-aeronautical use: • FAA concurrence• FMV rents• All current and aeronautical uses have been accommodated • provisions in interim–use lease that leasehold reverts back to the sponsor• Depiction of non-aeronautical use on ALP3 – Adjacent4 – Vicinity Land Use BasicsMost common issues:– Wildlife attractants– Tall structures– Noise– Visual obstructions– Concentrations of peopleIndustrial land use – good or bad?Public Perspective• Jobs and pay checks• Property, income, payroll taxes• Economic impact• Visual obstructions• Hazards to flight• Concentrations of peopleAirport Perspective      The Early DaysNon-Compatible Land Uses and SafetyMonetary Gain vs. Allowed UsesLand Use PlanningNon-Aviation• Completed 2005 by Aerofinity• Focused on:– Approved Land Uses– Review and Approval Process– Land AppraisalsLand Use PlanningPlanned Unit Development (PUD)• Completed in 2008 by HNTB• Focused on:– Existing Site Conditions– Identifying Types of Uses– Developmental StandardsExisting ConditionsTypes of UsesTypes of Uses• Identify Strengths of Each Area• Grouping Like Businesses• Permitted vs. ConditionalDevelopmental StandardsProhibited Uses• Storage of Explosives• Release into the Air• Light Emissions• Electrical Emissions• Attract WildlifeDevelopmental StandardsPlant Materials• Prohibited:– Known to attract wildlife– Plants with nuts or seeds– Densely plantedDevelopmental StandardsLessons LearnedPositives of the PUD• Easy to Identify Potential New Tenant Locations• Tenants know there are rules to everything they do• Easily Accessible and Digestible – 47 pages• Keeps Planning Department and Airport on the Same PageLessons Learned• Initially Too Specific – Lights with Domed Top• Opportunities– Student Housing– Indoor Sports Complex– Commercial• Timeline to ModifyNegatives to the PUDFuture Plans• Concept of Aerotropolis• Create an Airport City• Work to Identify Needed TenantsValue in working with State1. Greater outreach with Businesses unfamiliar with your local government2. Better understanding of Incentives, Grants, Programs available to assist the airport in development for future business demands3. Airport will be featured in Indiana’s Site Selector Database. Gives Airports sites a distinct competitive advantage4. Less competition against other general aviation airports on states database5. Creates shovel ready sites for any business whether from State or from local EDC group.6. Airport and Community Leaders better connected to State officials and more visible with statewide economic development initiatives.7. Increased Airport recognition in Community8. Increased Airport recognition in StateBenefits to Businesses1. State Certified Shovel Ready sites = less time permitting, ready for development to meet their construction completion time, lowers development cost2. State Certified Shovel Ready sites lower risk and unpredictability3. State Certified Shovel Ready sites give the business a level of comfort and the State opportunity to assist with incentives4. State Certified Shovel Ready sites illustrate a communities commitment to new business1. Increased Airport recognition in community2. Increased Airport recognition in StateLevels of Indiana Certified Shovel Ready Sites1. Indiana Site Certified Silver (Bottom Tier)2. Indiana Site Certified Gold (Middle Tier)3. Indiana Site Certified Prime (Top Tier)Indiana Site Certified Silver1. No size limit2. No proximity to state highway3. Support from LUG-CEO 4. Clear Title – 50 year title search5.

Geotechnical study required5. No recs or site clear6. Archeological investigation7. Utility to property line8. LUG, LEDO or REDO must own property or have agreement with property ownerLessons Learned• Use Airport’s Vision and Mission statements as Litany test for proposed development.1. Concise and Easily repeatable2. Identify why Airport exists and what defines success• Look at Locally and State funded projects not only those projects identified for FAA funding• Identify your Airport’s Champion to better elevate your Airport’s connection with the State• Land Use planning should always include local stakeholders to ensure everyone’s vision around the airport is heard from an airports perspective and the communities perspective.• Graphical display of the plan should be apparent for the City/County leaders as well as at the Airport Summary• Litany of Regulations governing airports1. FAA has sole authority over safe and efficient use of nation’s airspace2. Local governments have jurisdiction over land use controls off airport3. Land use on Airports is controlled by grant obligations between airport and FAA4. Any non-aeronautical land use on Airport has to be approved by FAA5. Compatible development on and around airports benefits everyone• Planned Unit Development (PUD) is beneficial in guiding compatible land uses• Working with State provides greater outreach and increased opportunities• Shovel Ready Sites mitigate risks for potential businesses• Working with State may provide incentives for businesses coming to Airport• Who’s your CHAMPION?Questions?Thank you for the opportunity to present at the 103rd Purdue Road School Conference
