For Meeting of: September 21, 2021 ITEM TITLE: Resolution authorizing the adoption of the Yakima Air Terminal - McAllister Field's Airport Layout Plan Update with Narrative Report SUBMITTED BY: Robert K. Peterson, Airport Director, 509-575-6149 SUMMARY EXPLANATION: Yakima City Council adopted the Yakima Air Terminal -McAllister Field's Airport Master Plan in 2015, which highlights airport development over the short, intermediate, and long-term in order to meet future aviation demands. Since adopting this instrumental plan, the airport has witnessed tremendous growth in the form of passenger and cargo activities; ground transportation; aircraft operations, commercial and hangar development. Given this rapid growth, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) required the City to update the Airport Layout Plan (ALP) and provide a Narrative Report properly reflecting these changes. As part of the ALP update, the 2015 Airport Master Plan report was modernized to reflect current information with an up-to-date aviation demand forecast through 2040. The updated forecast demand was then incorporated into the plan's facility requirements, an updated alternatives analysis, and updated Capital Improvement Program (CI P). Enclosed is a memo summarizing the key updates to the Airport Layout Plan as well as an approval letter from the Federal Aviation Administration. Airport staff, Federal Aviation Administration, and Century West Engineering believe the Airport Layout Plan Update with Narrative Report was developed including valuable information from key stakeholders to provide the airport a functional product that encompasses all aspects of the community's needs as well as aviation users.
