Chapter 6– LOCATIONAL AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES<br />

The following chapter presents the key locational and economic opportunities in the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>Inglewood</strong> that could provide impetus to the economy <strong>of</strong> <strong>Inglewood</strong>. These include opportunities<br />

arising from proximity to LAX, tourism and lodging industry, and the redevelopment <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Hollywood Park, the Forum and the Downtown area.<br />

6.1 Los Angeles International Airport<br />

• The passenger volume at LAX is projected to increase from just over 60 million air<br />

passengers (MAPs) in 2004 to 78.0 MAP in 2030. Most <strong>of</strong> the additional passenger<br />

volume is projected to be handled by other airports in the region such as Ontario and<br />

Palmdale.<br />

• The air cargo volume at LAX is projected to increase from 2.0 million tons in 2003 to 2.3<br />

million tons in 2030. Most <strong>of</strong> the growth in air cargo is expected to be handled by other<br />

regional airports.<br />

• The environmental analysis <strong>of</strong> the LAX Master <strong>Plan</strong> 2000 Draft EIS/EIR resulted in the<br />

formulation <strong>of</strong> Alternative D that was presented and evaluated in the 2003 LAX Master<br />

<strong>Plan</strong> Addendum and 2003 Supplement to the Draft EIS/EIR.<br />

• Alternative D was a new alternative in response to public comment on Master <strong>Plan</strong><br />

Alternatives A,B,C and the No Action/No Project Alternative.<br />

• Alternative D was developed to <strong>of</strong>fer a regional airport development alternative for LAX.<br />

It would be designed to serve approximately 78 million annual passengers which is<br />

similar to the activity level identified in the scenario adopted by SCAG for LAX. It<br />

would encourage other airports in the region to develop facilities to accommodate<br />

regional demand beyond the level served at LAX.<br />

• Alternative D is intended to respond to increased security threats with the objective <strong>of</strong><br />

providing a facility that can continue to operate under the highest security levels with<br />

minimal impacts to the passenger processing experience.<br />

• The ground access network would be redeveloped to limit vehicle access to the central<br />

terminal area (CTA) and to remove vehicle parking from the area. The CTA would be<br />

accessed via the Landside Automated People Mover (APM) system.<br />

• Some <strong>of</strong> the other components <strong>of</strong> Alternative D include: four new passenger terminals,<br />

new aircraft rescue and firefighting facilities, parallel taxiways between the runways on<br />

the north and south airfields to reduce the potential for runway incursions and airfield<br />

reconfigurations to provide unrestricted movement for New Large Aircraft (NLA).<br />

Alternative D also includes a new Ground Transportation Center (GTC) to improve the<br />

landside level <strong>of</strong> service at LAX, a Consolidated Rental Car Facility and an Intermodal<br />

Transportation Center.<br />

• The LAX Master <strong>Plan</strong> Stipulated Settlement was approved by Mayor Villaraigosa and the<br />

Los Angeles <strong>City</strong> Council in early 2006 resulting in an historic settlement <strong>of</strong> lawsuits<br />
