chapter 4 – facility requirements - San Diego International Airport

Generally, existing
terminal facilities
operate below desirable
levels of service at the
existing passenger
demand levels.
Additional terminal
space is needed to meet
current demand.
(USO) is also included in the non-secure public area. The
existing planning factors for circulation in the ticketing lobby,
baggage claim and general circulation were increased to provide
future facilities that would provide LOS standards similar to
those experienced in T2 West. The USO is assumed to remain
the same size throughout the forecast years.
Non-public area. Non-public areas include private office space
for the Authority, the TSA and building support spaces such as
mechanical rooms, loading docks, maintenance, and storage. For
both the TSA and the Authority offices, the existing factors were
used to determine future requirements. Currently, mechanical,
electrical, maintenance and storage facilities comprise about
seven percent of the total terminal area. Typically, these areas
are programmed at 12 percent of the terminal area; accordingly,
future facilities will be programmed at 12 percent of total
terminal area to provide adequate space for mechanical,
electrical, maintenance, and storage.
4.3.2 Requirements
Table 4-4 provides an analysis of the excesses and deficiencies of
the current overall terminal facilities using the planning ratios.
Most existing passenger processing facilities are deficient, as
shown. As shown, the SDIA terminals are approximately
165,500 square feet deficient in area. As shown in Table 4-4, the
terminal functional areas with the greatest deficiencies include:
ticket counter queue, concessions, passenger screening, and
circulation for the ticketing, baggage claim, and concourses.
