The San Diego County Regional Airport Authority Board Nov. 19 unanimously selected “Alternative 5” as the preferred concept for the Airport Development Plan (ADP), the next master-planning phase for San Diego International Airport.
\nThe ADP considers the future replacement of Terminal 1 and other needed improvements.
\nAlternative 5 can be built in the shortest period of time because it minimizes and streamlines the work needed to prepare the site for construction. It also provides a unified terminal design, providing seamless connectivity to all terminals, amenities and passenger services. Further, it offers more room for critical infrastructure and parking (if needed). A central federal inspection facility will service growing international traffic.
\nAs part of the vote, the board also approved the start of the environmental review process for the ADP.\u00a0 That is expected to conclude in summer\/fall 2017.
\nIn 2006, a county-wide ballot measure to move the airport was defeated. Therefore, the airport will continue in its current location for the foreseeable future. The ADP is designed to identify improvements that will enable the airport to meet demand through 2035, which is approximately when projected passenger activity levels will reach capacity for the airport\u2019s single runway.
\nAirport Authority staff, acting under executive and board direction, is leading the ADP process. Four alternatives were originally developed and presented to the board and the public for feedback. Alternative 5, estimated at $2.2 billion, synthesizes that public input \u2013 it shortens the timeframe in which Terminal 1 can be replaced, and it results in the lowest construction cost of any alternative considered.
