Terminal Building Flooring Replacement – Phase I

Phase I – 2025

Replace deteriorating porcelain tile flooring with terrazzo.  The existing tiles are prone to frequent cracking and breaking.  The current flooring generates significant noise, which contributes to stress, reduces communication effectiveness, and negatively impacts the overall traveler experience. The current tile style has been discontinued leading to an aesthetically displeasing mismatched look throughout the terminal. Terrazzo is a non-slip, highly durable flooring that resists heavy foot traffic, rolling luggage, and equipment movement. This durability means it can last for decades, often outlasting other flooring options. The smooth, seamless, ADA-compliant design ensures easier navigation for wheelchairs and other mobility aids. Provides an easy to clean hypoallergenic and hygienic surface.

Phase I consists of the second level airside of the terminal with a total of 44,700 SF.

Total Budget:

  • AIP: Entitlement $0
  • AIP: Req. Discretionary $0
  • AIG: Allocation $2,857,562
  • ATP: $0

What is an Airport Master Plan?

An airport master plan is a comprehensive study of an airport and usually describes the short-, medium-, and long-term development plans to meet future aviation demand.  The goal of a master plan is to provide the framework needed to guide future airport development that will cost-effectively satisfy aviation demand, while considering potential environmental and socioeconomic impacts.  Each master plan should meet the following objectives: 

  • Document the issues that the proposed development will address. 
  • Justify the proposed development through the technical, economic, and environmental investigation of concepts and alternatives. 
  • Provide an effective graphic presentation of the development of the airport and anticipated land uses in the vicinity of the airport. 
  • Establish a realistic schedule for the implementation of the development proposed in the plan, particularly the short-term capital improvement program.  
  • Propose an achievable financial plan to support the implementation schedule. 
  • Provide sufficient project definition and detail for subsequent environmental evaluations that may be required before the project is approved.    
  • Present a plan that adequately addresses the issues and satisfies local, state, and Federal regulations. 
  • Document policies and future aeronautical demand to support municipal or local deliberations on spending, debt, land use controls, and other policies necessary to preserve the integrity of the airport and its surroundings.  
  • Set the stage and establish the framework for a continuing planning process.  Such a process should monitor key conditions and permit changes in plan recommendations as required.

Airport Land Use Drawing

The objective of the Airport Land Use drawing is to coordinate uses of the airport property in a manner compatible with the functional design of the airport facility. Airport land use planning is important for orderly development and efficient use of available space. There are two primary considerations for airport land use planning, which are to secure those areas essential to the safe and efficient operation of the airport and to determine compatible land uses for the balance of the property which would be most advantageous to the airport and community.

Noise Contours Map

The purpose of existing and future aircraft-generated noise analysis is to provide support for land use planning tasks and airport master planning. The zones have proven effective over the years in achieving balance between protecting the airport from encroachment of incompatible uses, while simultaneously protecting the community from any negative effects of the airport.  Both the 2006 and 2026 65 DNL noise contours on Oklahoma City’s future land use map affect areas identified as an Urban Low‐Density LUTA. According to planokc, acceptable land uses vary from low density residential, neighborhood and regional commercial, and larger scale projects. Both the 2006 and 2026 noise contours for future land use are highlighted on this map. On the City of Bethany’s future land use map, both the 2006 and 2026 65 DNL noise contours remain mostly on airport property. However, there is a small parcel south of NW 39th Expressway designated as “hospitals/universities/schools/churches” which could be potentially impacted should the 65 DNL contour be expanded with airport growth. Both the 2006 and 2026 noise contours for future land use are highlighted on this map.

What is an Airport Layout Plan?

The Airport Layout Plan (ALP) serves as a critical planning tool that depicts both existing facilities and planned development for an airport. The five primary functions of the ALP that define its purpose are as follows:   

  1. An ALP creates a blueprint for airport development by depicting proposed facility improvements. The ALP provides a guideline by which the airport sponsor can ensure that development maintains airport design standards and safety requirements and is consistent with airport and community land use plans.
  2. The ALP is a public document that serves as a record of aeronautical requirements, both present and future, and as a reference for community deliberations on land use proposals and budget resource planning.
  3. The approved ALP enables the airport sponsor and the FAA to plan for facility improvements at the airport. It also allows the FAA to anticipate budgetary and 81 AC 150/5070-6B Change 2 1/27/2015 procedural needs. The approved ALP will also allow the FAA to protect the airspace required for facility or approach procedure improvements.
  4. The ALP can be a working tool for the airport sponsor, including its development and maintenance staff.
  5. An approved ALP is necessary for the airport to receive financial assistance under the terms of the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982, as amended, and to be able to impose and use Passenger Facility Charges. An airport must keep its ALP current and follow that plan, because those are grant assurance requirements of the AIP and previous airport development programs, including the 1970 Airport Development Aid Program (ADAP) and Federal Aid Airports Program (FAAP) of 1946, as amended.
