4.5 Support Facilities Requirements<br />
The following sections present the <strong>facility</strong> <strong>requirements</strong> for air<br />
cargo and general aviation facilities.<br />
4.5.1 Air Cargo Requirements<br />
The inventory task established that there currently is<br />
69,750 square feet of office and building space designated for air<br />
cargo operations. The future <strong>facility</strong> <strong>requirements</strong> were<br />
calculated based on a range of building utilization rates, from<br />
0.75 to 1.25 square feet per ton of cargo handled. Industry<br />
planning standards typically assume a building utilization rate<br />
of 1.5 square feet per ton of cargo, but the ratio for SDIA was<br />
adjusted downward as a result of the historically higher building<br />
utilization rate at the <strong>Airport</strong>. It was also assumed that efficiency<br />
will increase over the planning period due to the increased use<br />
of mechanization technology.<br />
The aircraft parking <strong>requirements</strong> were derived based on<br />
projections of number of aircraft operations on the peak month<br />
average week day. Apron <strong>requirements</strong> were calculated based<br />
on the parking position <strong>requirements</strong>, assuming that an air<br />
carrier aircraft (e.g., Boeing 757) requires 40,000 square feet of<br />
apron and a feeder aircraft (e.g., Cessna Caravan) requires<br />
15,000 square feet of apron.<br />
The results of the analysis are presented in Table 4-14.<br />
