Environmental Impact Report (EIR) Update May 2, 2016
Project Goals Construct a replacement 14-gate passenger terminal with a maximum of 355,000 square feet and no increase of 6,637 public parking spaces Provide permanent protection for the City of Burbank against airport expansion by changing governance of the Airport Authority to provide supermajority voting for specific expansion- related Airport Authority decisions 2
Background and Purpose of the EIR To evaluate the environmental effects associated with the proposed project, as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) To identify any potentially significant environmental effects and mitigation measures To enable the Authority and other government decision-makers to consider the environmental consequences of the proposed project To facilitate responsible agencies in issuing approvals for the proposed project Engage public participation through notification, documentation, and taking of testimony 3
Purpose and Need for the Proposed Project The Authority desires to build a replacement 14- gate passenger terminal that: Meets FAA airport design standards Meets California seismic safety design standards Consolidates passenger and baggage screening Meets ADA standards Consolidates air facilities into a single terminal building Provides an economical and cost-effective facility 4
Purpose and Need for the Proposed Project Provides a modern, energy-efficient terminal with no change in the number of gates or in the number of public parking spaces Provides a level of convenience that equals or exceeds the current terminal Provides a distinctive terminal that enhances the community image and sense of place Provides intermodal connectivity Improves the airfield to maximize safety and efficiency of aircraft movements 5
